 Washington, March 8.-Advance guards of the new Republican admin istration moved into the national capi- tai today.
 President-elect Harding is now en route from Marion for the supreme triumph of his life when he is inducted as president tomorrow at noon.
 MT. and Mrs. Harding will arrive in Washington this afternoon and will be immediately driven to the New Willard Hotel, where they will occupy the presidential suite until they leave for the capitol tomorrow just before noon.
 Six of the incoming cabinet mem- bers are already in Washington. Out going Democrats have extended every courtesy possible in acquainting them with their future duties. Republican leaders, great and small, from almost every state of the union, are among the early arrivals for the big spec tacle when Mir. Harding succeeds Woodrow Wilson as president.
 Clear and cold weather is now fore cast for inaugural day.
 A last thorough search of the city for suspects and suspicious characters is being made by secret service opera tiVes today. The details ordinarily on duty at the white house and around government buildings have been tenn porarily increased. Cordons of opera tives will watch over the outgoing and incoming president.
 Characters known to the police will be rounded up tonight by District of Columbia police.
 Precautions taken at the capitol building include police lines which deny admission to all except holders of cards issued by the inaugural con- mittee of which Edward B. Mclean, Cincinnati and Washington newspaper publisher, is chairman.

 BY RADICAL PAPER
(Py United Press)

Washington, March 3.-Postmaster General A. s. Burleson, who retires from office tomorrow at noon, is de- fendant in suit brought today by the New York Call for $500,000.
 Counsel for the Call claim that by withholding the privilege of mail ing that publication as second class matter, MT. Burleson misused his powers and "unlawfully, wilfully, and maliciously" violated the rights of the publishers.
 During the war period, Mir. Burle- son barred the Call from second class mail for alleged disloyal utterances.

Governor Endorses
Pig Club Shipment


May.-The trainload shipment of hogs
TO central market in the fall which
will be made BY the members of the
boys and girls pig clubs in Louisiana
is highly endorsed by Governor John
NJ. Parker who believes that through
club work Louisiana will be made ono
of the greatest agricultural states in
the union.
j. Governor Parker's personal message
is as follows:
II have just been told that there
are 1900 of YOU boys and girls doing
agricultural club work in an organized
way in the state, there being more than
1000 in the pig club alone. You little
realize how proud I am to hear that, for
[ not only think of you as you are to.
day; bat in my minds eye 1 can see
YOU dozen or more years hence. You
have just completed your education at
the greater Agricultural College; you
have learned all that could be taught
YOU in a college second TO none in the
United States: you are going out into
the world to fight life's battles, and to
help make Louisiana one of the greatest
agricultural states in the Union.
However, that is looking rather far
into the futdre and while that is a very
laudable thing TO do, We have before Us
an undertaking that is going to mean
many dollars and cents in your pockets
and great boost for your state All
Of you know about it, and l shall not
try to explain it to you, that has been
done before. l am speaking of that
proposed trainload shipment of pig club
pigs to a central market this fall, which
is being fostcred by the Extension De
partment of the Louisiana State Uni
versity.
Think of it Shipping thirty or more
cars of hogs comparatively and from
twenty-five different parishes, which
were chosen because of the large mum.
Der Of club members and adequate rail
facilities
Everything has been worked out, the
entire proposition rests with yol. ant
told that nearly all are taking advau'
tage of il, but we cannot have too
many cooperating.
We can raise hogs as cheaply as any
cher state; but we have not had the
market facilities Now we have all the
great packing houses bidding for this
trainload shipment. and the railroads
have offered every assistance in order
to get them to market without delay.
The ewes of the world are upon YOU,
never before has a solid trainload ship.

market. You will make history, ccu'

Thos. E Wilson Cites Byprod-

Thomas L. Wilson, president OF the

declared yesterday that certain definite
signs OF healthy recovery can be noted
here and there in the meat packing in

This Improvement l regard as sig
nifcant," said Mr.. Wilson. because it
is occurring in such staple lines as
WOOL leather and hair, always good
index to general business. Also, 1t is
developing in a way TO indicate that II
Is not slight spasmodic squirt of buy
ing, but the result of bare shelves and
cleaned out back stocks.
For example, dealers who have been
out of the market for months are buy
ing three and five sides Of leather,
whereas formerly their orders would be
for twenty-five TO fifty sides They are
coming back more than once with these
small orders. This means, of course,
that their surplus supplies have been
exhausted and that they have been
forced TO come to the markets. This
experience is happening in number OF
our lines. You might call this n hand
to mouth business but to the expert
enced eye it is substantial evidence that
che low point of the depression has been
passed in some lines at least"

I'll tho business and financial conditions

"Since the wage increase granted by

From the LABOR side there was little
comment on the action of the roads.
b. Nj. Jewell. chairman OF the Railway
Labor Department. said he had known
the proposals were coming for some time
and that he would have TO wait until he
received more details before issuing a
formal statement.
Other officials questioned the right of
the roads TO confer with their employees
by individual crafts, as the Pennsylvania
Railroad recently announced Ii would
do. The union men said each road
would have to hold one conference with
representatives OF all employees whose
wages we're TO be cut and could not deal

CATION Of the situation.
Notices Of proposed wage reductions
on individual railroads have been ex-
pected since the meeting of the railway
executives here on February 49," said
w Jett Laucll. former secretary of the
War Labor Board and now consulting
economist of the railroad unions. 1T Is
part of the plan TO deluge the United
States Labor Board with a multitude OF
complaints and cannot be of much FL
nancial benefit to the railroads.
zone complaint after another must be
considered by the Labor Board and q
considerable period of time must
elapse before a sufficient number OF
decisions, even if favorable, can be Sc
cured by the railroads.
"rhe New York financial district al
ready has recognized this tendency. In
spite of the fact of the proposed wage
reductions and the sanction by the
Government to advance payments of its
guarantees to the carriers, railroad Sc
curities have reached another low level
on the Stock Exchange.
This would not be so if the railroad
executives were straightforward and
sincere in their labor policy, and IL
their plans were directed by the most
intelligent and far seeing of the heads
of the roads. If financial relief and
not the breaking down of the labor or
ganizations were the object the rail-
roads in a certain area or district would
notify their employees of proposed
wage cuts. invite them to select repre-
senta lives to meet the representatives
, OF the carriers in conference and then,
If 10 agreement could be reached, a
complaint covering a large number OF
railroads and their employees would be
taken before the Labor Board
