Assembling Figures
for Consideration of
"JObless' Conference

Washington, Sept. 6-Data for use
in connection with the unempioy-
ment conference called by Secretary
Hoover at the request of President
Harding was being gathered today
from the bureau of statistics OF the
department Of labor, which was re-
-uuested especially to supply cost of
liTng figures.
While representatives TO the con-
ference will be limited probably 10
30 or less. it was learned today that
the president will be furnished with
! lists OF persons considerably in ex-
cess of that number who will
respond to his request for represen-
tatives "of the key industries from
different sections of the country.
Samuel Gompers. president Of the
American Federation of Labor has
proposed % re representatives. of labor
in the various crafts from all parts
of the country. while the United
States Chamber Of Commerce has
submitted five names. Other asso-
Citations and organizations have
submitted lists at the request of the
president.
From these lists. it is understood
the president will make his seiec-
tons. eliminating as far as possible
duplication of industries and sec
tons. Sc cretary Hoover. it was said
today. would submit the lists to-
gether with the program for the
conference to the president Thug
day. Expenses NECESSARY to the I'M
employment gathering officials as
serted probably would be borne by
the commerce department but only
small outlay is expected. The date
for the meeting has not as yet been
set but it probably will be around

Conditions of Meeting

THE respective plenipotentiaries

ditions save the facts themselves.

subsequent differences, not by appeals

which there is common agreement.
We have proposed the principle of
government by consent of the gov

phrase. 1t is a simple expression OF
the test TO which any proposed soiu-

adequate. and il can be used as the
criterion for the details, as well as
for the whole. That you claim it as
a peculiarly British principle. insti-

"On this basis, and this only we
see hope of reconciling the consid-

Meat and Live Stock
Situation During May 1921
General

The meat trade frequently furnishes good index to the
buying tendencies Of the consuming public For this reason
the greater demand during May for the less expensive cuts
probably has significance.
For number OF years consumers had shown marked
preference for the soaed choice cueaks roaSts fancy
bacon light pork chops ct cetera This preference main
aned despite repeated assertions that foequaer meats
which include such cuts the chuck bket and plate were
high in nuirve value and very paaahe when properly pre-
pared persisted after the industrial reaction began
But last month there reverson 10 the heavier meats
the part Of many There strong demand
the wholesale trade for heavy skinned hams and the de-
mand for heavy dry salt bacon cuts (bee) relatively
Of greater strength than the demand for light bellies There
also good trade for picncs which few months ago
suffering from the sharp preference for fancy hams.
While the relative demand for forequarter beef as COM
pared with hndquarter cuts did not increase il held its
which equivalent to seasonal increase, since warm
weather usually lessons the demand for forequae meats and
dverts II to cuts which can be cooked more quickly
There evidence that the people pulling their purse
strings tighter with respect 10 essential commodities and
are trying earnestly to get the most for their money.
better trade for the less expensive cuts is saluary
thing from the viewpoint Of producer packer and consumer
alike It tends to distribute the demand all cuts from the
meat animal and makes for economical and stable mer
chandising.

l. FOREIGN TRADE

Experiences of different packers in the foreign markets
during May show variations All companies questioned
agree that except in the United Kingdom foreign buying
manifested an Improvement and member of the Institute
stated that the export situation with respect to the United
Kingdom exhibited favorable indications This company stated
that English stocks Of lard provisions low and that
the old British stocks of bacon constitute less depressing
market factor because Of their inability compete with fresh
cured meat
Other packers agree with this viewpoint but state that the
British demand is stned by the coal strike
one company reports better and numerous inqur
les with actual sales from Belgium Scandinavia Rotter
dam and Germany Il said that the stocks Of German Gov
ernmen meats are about exhausted.
In general those packers who keep and repenish stocks
OF meat at continental points report that foreign buy
ng while showing undouhted improvement is confined to
these spot stocks. One packer expressed II thus:
"The buying abroad while confined, in to spot
stocks pretty fair considering the foreign monetary u
alton Continental buyers hold of long they and
then try m their immediate requirements quickly as they
This naturally tends to purchases from stocks already
abroad"
Foreign inquiries have run largely to oleo oil, dry salt
meats and lard

Lives Of great men an remind u.s.
that hardly without exception they
all loved to bury themselves In the
pages OF a good mystery story. The
Kind most sought after were those
where the solution remained In
doubt until the very end. To a large
extent the motion picture has sup
planted the written page. and GER
tainly no type Of story gains more
from this than the mystery one. Al

safe to say that all OF its intricate
plots and counterparts could never
have been as interestingly and thrill
ingly worked out as they are in the
motion picture.
Incident follows "A contradicting
incident and complication Is heaped
upon complication until right near
the finish the spectator cannot see
clearly through the maze Of circum-
stances laid open TO his eyes by the
camera. This Is the goal sought af-
ter in a mystery-to baffle the au-
dience Is the supreme achievement
The plot unwinds with rapidity In
