 DUE DECEMBER 1
Board States It Will Settle This Phase of Dispute Inn
 mediately.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-Thc United States railroad labor board announced this week that new working rules for the six shop crafts probably will be completed and issued in time to be- come effective December I. Issuance of the rules, under recent decision of the board, pavcs the way for con sidcration of requests which may be filed by the roads for revision of the shop craft wage schedules.
 The new shop crafts rules will af- feet approximately Oo,ooo men on all class I railroads i'll the country. Only O4 railroads are directly concerned in the present case, the others not hay ing their submissions in proper shape when the case was taken up but board members anticipated that all the class I railroads will probably carry out the decision without furth- CT hearings.
 The board members said that the new rules have been practically com plctcd in less than five months, while the national agreement, which they supcrscdc, required the attention oi railway, government and labor repre- sentatives for seven months before ii was completed.
 The board, it was indicated, vii next take up for consideration the rules and working conditions for the maintenance of way employees.

 the United States supreme court, which recently upheld the validity of the Ball rent act, passed by congress, and which applies to the District of Columbia. The court said:
 The general proposition to be main tained Is that circumstances have clothed the letting of buildings in the District of Columbia with a public interest so great as to justify regulation by law. Plainly circumstances may so change in time or so differ in space as to clothe with such an interest what at other times or in other places would be a matter of purely private concern"
 The supreme court quoted numerous instances and former decisions where property rights were cut down and taken without pay The court also referred to the power to pass this legislation under the right of eminent domain, quoting decisions to establish that a public exigency will justify the legisla- ture in restricting property rights in land to certain extent without compensa- tiOn"

The $5oo,ooo ,ooo subsidy for the railroads, proposed in bill now be- fore the Senate, after having been ap- proved by the House, is not having the plain sailing that the railroad lobby expected. A number of sen ators have stated their intention to discuss it's provisions and Senator La Toilette has prepared a compre- hensive statement that will point out the multiplied iniquities of this latest proposed grant of federal funds 10 the carriers.
 The senate committee on interstate commerce has made few amend ments that are intended to soften criticism, notably one which provides that any payment to a railroad shall be in full of all claims for under maintenance of property during fed eral control

URGE NET PROFIT
 IN DRY GOODS LINE
Association, Hinting Higher Prices.

New York, Nov. 25.-Officcrs of the National Dry Goods association have notified members that the time has passed for doing business on "liqlli- dation basis" and net profit should be insisted on. Ii is stated that 'it prices, but conferences with banks has encouraged the officers of the association to stick for higher prices as Sufficient losses have already been forced sclling"
 The letter is a clear intimation to wholesalers that the banks have con- cludcd there has been enough "squcczing" and the time has arrived for stihening prices.
 It would be interesting to know what these business men would say if workers demanded a net profit to care for their family i'll comfort, to set aside money for a "Contingency fund" fol sickness and unemployment, to provide for depreciation fund, y that would care for them in their old age, and to also have a net profit after all these demands are met.
 This is the financial system em- ploycd by business men who are only willing to give workers a wage that will keep them but one day from the bread line

PACKER TENTACLES REACHING OUT FOR
 NATIONS STOMACH
Administration Urges Big Five" tc Drive Out Small Dealer and
 Secure Rail Monopoly.

Advertised as a movement to re- duce the retail cost of meats" the fed eral agricultural department is going to launch a campaign against 'proht- ecring retail merchants" that is cx- pccted to drive them out oi business.
 In their stead will be substituted the great packing combines, with whom Secretary Wallace is now nc gotiating for system of direct dis tribution to consumers. The govern ment apparently is proceeding on the theory that 1t Is necessary to fight fire with fire.
 While on the surface this plan seems to offer some hope of relief from high prices, since it's ostensible purpose Is to cut out number of middlcmen between the cattle raiser and the public the latter may discov- CT, when 1t is firmly established, that it has been tumblcd out of the fat into the fire
 Having secured stranglc-hold on the producing end of the meat busi- ness, to the great detrimcnt of the farmer, the packers are to occupy the same advantageous position with re- spect to the consumer, with the pub lie entirely at their mercy, and en- toying the doubtful protection against cxtortion that is afforded by govern mcnt regulations written by the pack CTS themselves and enacted by. Con- gross at their suggestion, according to Senator La Toilette, whose charge is not contradicted.
 The National Association of Wholesale Grocers has intervcned in legal proceedings that seek to pre- vent the cancellation of this agree ment by the agricultural department as proposed by Secretary Wallace The association declares that 1t was forced to take this action by the evi- dent intention of the administration 1 to restore the packers to the position they occupied before being compelled to withdraw their tentacles from the nations stomach.
