OUTLINES HOOVER'S
NEW TRADE POLICY
Federal Agency Asserts It Will
Feature Promotion in
Home Field
WILL DIVIDE BIG BUREAU

Washington, March 10. Herbert
Hoover, secretary of commerce, has
perfected his plan for q complete re-
organization of the department, the
Federal Trade Information Bureau an
nounced today.
The new secretary contemplates the
addition Of a sub bureau Of transporta-
tion to aid American business men in
working their railroad problems.
The statement in pnrt says:
What Is probably the most compre-
hensive and important plan for re.
organization Of government work to be
undertaken during the Harding admin
istration has been perfected by Herbert
Hoover. secretary Of commerce. In
view Of the fact that before Mr.. Hoover
accepted the call 20 the cabinet he
stipulated with the President that he
be permitted to carry out his ideas in
respect of his duties, IL is reasonable
to assume that the now sccrcttry's plan
already has received the approval of
President Harding
The reorganization Of the Depart
ment of Commerce contemplated by Mr..
Hoover will make that branch of the
government service the most important
public body in touch with American
business and will give the great food
administrator place of dominant lead
ership In American business. The plan
has been Charted by Mr.. Hoover in de-
tail, and it is understood he will lose
no time in putting it into effect.
The first step in the reorganization
will be to divide the existing bureau Of
foreign and domestic commerce into
two bureaus--the bureau of foreign
commerce and the bureau Of domestic
commerce. Mr.. Ioovcr's principal new
effort will be in developing the domestic
end of trade promotion. Mr.. Hoover
intends vigorously TO pursue the idea.
which was entertained by former Sec.
retary Of Commerce Redfield. that the
powers of developing domestic COM
merce vested by the organic act OF the
department should be more aggressively
employed
Probably the most important addi.
tion to the functions of the bureau con
templatcd by Mr.. Hoover will be the
| subject of transportation. The new
secretary plans to organize sub
bureau of transportation, and it Is un-
derstood this will aid American bust
ness men in working out their railroad
problems. It will o-operate with the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
the shipping board and with foreign
| steamship lines. But further. this bu-
reau will assist American business men
| IN oNertaklng the British in development
of commercial navigation of the air.
| Moreover. this new bureau will seek
to take over from the Department of
| Agriculture the development of good
roads, especially in their relation TO the
movement of freight by truck and the
distribution of farm products.
Inland waterways will also be dc e
veloped under Mr.. Ioover's plan. and
he hopes to take over from the War
Department the work now being done by
that branch of the government in con :
nection with the promotion and super
vision of inland waterways"

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

Announcement of the decision Of the
Fennsylvania Railroad management to
make a wider application of the re-
trenchmcnt policy in order to reduce
operating expenses caused little sur
prise In market circles yesterday, be-
cause such action was generally regarded
as inevitable. While the brotherhoods
may be expected TO make some contest
OF wage reductions, no serious troubles
are anticipated, inasmuch as the leaders
have sufficient intelligence to appreciate
the radical change which has taken
place In the economic conditions of the
country.
The announced cut will not apply
alone to wages. but will also include
the salaries OF officers. In brief, It ap-
plies to every department of the system.
when 1t IL taken into consideration
that the cost of labor absorbed 20 per
cent OF the operating revenues of the
company last month. the management
had no other alternative than to resort
to Wholesale slashing OF labor costs.
To overcome the rising tide Of operating
costs, the management had already re-
duced the working force TO the lowest
ebb possible, but this was found In.
sufficient to divert the rising tide OF
operating expenses.
The radical steps taken by the man.
agemcnt, while calling attention to the
unhealthy state of affairs existing, yet
had It's bright side. 1t did much. In
the first place. to dissipate the natural
growing fears concerning the safety Of
the dividend. There may never have
been any real grounds for apprehension
on this score, but such exhibitions as
given In the annual report are bound
to make the stoutest heart hutter.

is used by the kosher trade along
with the rest of the fore quarter.
The kosher trade is confined al
most exclusively to heavy animals,
and for that reason kosher slaughter
produces tonnage of meat per given
number of animals much higher than
the average resulting from slaughter
for gentle consumption"
Describing the method of slaughter
of kosher meats, the Government re-
port says:
The kosher system of slaughter
ing differs somewhat from the gener-
al custom among Gentiles, and one
of the prime requisites is that the
animal bleed thoroughly. According
to Jewish belief no blood should re-
main in the meat when consumed.
For that reason the animals throat
is cut without first being stunned
by a blow on the head, as is done in
other killing.
''While kosher slaughter Is pri-
marily of a religious nature, being
performed by the Rabbi or his depu-
ty, it is also system of inspection
and antedates the modern Govern
ment inspection by several thousand
years. The Schecter, or man who
does the slaughtering, inspects the
carcass and accepts or rejects it, de-
pending upon whether or not it meets
the requirements of the Hebrew
law. If the carcass is accepted he af-
fixes his official stamp. Those hold
ing strictly to the orthodox faith in
sist on having kosher meat exclusive
ly."
