Washington, March A - Express s1ons of qualification were general to- day in administration circles over the successful settlement through the mediation of Secretary Davis of the dispute between the five big packers and their union employes-the first major labor controversy to come up for adjustment under the new ad- ministration. Representatives of both sides who signed the settlement agreement yesterday had been invited to meet President Harding at the White House today. when 1t was un- oerstood the presid ent desired to ex- press his thanks for the spirit of CO., operation said to have been manifest throughout the conferences
 Compromises by both packers and their employees made possible a set tleInent. Representative of the lat ter agreed to accept the wage reduc- ton Of eight cents an hour and 12 F per cent. for piece work, while ths packers met the demand of the workers for extension of the war time arbitration agreement for six months, or until Sept. 15. The other the retention of the basic eight hour day and overtime rates as provided in a previous arbitration ruling
 Although he announced the em- ployes would be urged to accept the agreement at meetings Sunday, Red n1opd s. Brennan, one of their repre- seatatives at the conference, declared in a statement that the agreement was but a truce for us to prepare piration Of the arbitration period the packers maintain the attitude they have shown in the past there would be a ''seIiOuS industrial Strike.''

Anti-Sun Bill May Have House
 Reconsidera ation

Hartford. March 24.-The House today voted to adhere when the new amendment on the soldiers depend encv bill came back from the Senate and this action sends it back to the Senate which will not correct its or1- ginal error and instead or adoptlng the bill without a hearing will concur with the House in referring it to the judiciary committee for a public hearing.
 House Leader Buckley explained that his judiciary committee might have originated the bill in commit tee it considered it fairer to adopt the present procedure and thus glVe no tice of a public hearing.
 The jitney bill passed in the Senate with amendments came into the House today and it was tabled
 Daylight saving was again a topic of conversation in the 1obbles today because of the effort of Representa- tive Emily s. Brown of Naugatuck to recall the bill, which is now be- fore the governor. No resolution was offered in the House, however. probably because Speaker Huxford had indicated informally that he would rule out of order any such resolution on the ground that It was for purposes of reconsideration and not for amendment.
 Representative Stddard of Wood bridge, moved in the House reconsld- eration of the gasoline transp ortat1n prhibitin measure adopted yesterday. He referred to the recent shelton trolley tragedy and admitted the need of some such legislation but thought the bill as passed was too broad in it's scope and would affect certain corporations not controlled by the Public Utilities Com mission

but what little there is seems to point to the Moscow appeal being given what might be termed every flavor able consideration" The most imme- diate result of the Soviet communi- cation has been to increase the pres quarters for a resumption of trade re- lationS, at least in name. Labor Or Sanizations are nearly unanimous in favoring such a policy. A number of western and mid-western congressmen also believe the Soviet offer should be accepted, for they see in Russian markets on outlet for the grains and produce of the great farm belts which are now stagnant in the avail able markets of the world.

Regulations on
Sacramento Wine
Almost Complete
New Rules Designed to In
sure Best Grade of Liquors
For Use in Church
Services.

Washington, July 24-New pro-
hibition regulations covering the dis
tribution of wines for religious pur-
poses have been almost completed, it
was said at the internal revenue
bureau.
The rules being prepared, officials
said, are designed to insure churches
obtaining the same standard of sac
ramental wines to which they were
accustomed before the ban was put
on wholesale liquor dealers; under
an opinion by former Attorney Cen
eral Palmer.
Request was made at a recent hear
ing before the bureau that Attorney
General Daugherty review his prede-
cessor's ruling, so far as it. applied
to dealers in sacranlental wines, as
the churchmen contended they could
not obtain their standard of quality
from wholesale druggists. The bu-
reau takes the view, however, it was
explained, that a request for new
ruling would reopen the entire ques-
ton of wholesale liquor dealers,
while regulations can be drafted, with
especial attention to importers, which
would accomplish the end sought
without bringing the matter again
before the attorney general.
One. method suggested would be
to permit bonded manufacturers of
sacramental wines to distribute their
own stock and similarly importers of
wines for religious purposes.
