fairs of Great
Value
(BY MARK SULLIVAN

Washington, d. c.. March 13.-It is
Inherent in the personality OF Herbert
Hoover that there should be much cur
iosity about what he is going to do with
the Commerce department
The only public address Mr.. Hoover
has made since he TOOK over the de-
partment which contained any hint Of
what is in his mind occurred in tho
course of a whimsical and informal
talk at the Press club reception to
President Harding.
AS bearing on tho chaotic arrange
mcnt of bureaus, he said humorously
that he had discovered that he has
control of all matters pertaining to
polar bears, while matters pertaining
to grizzly bears must go to the Secre-
tary of tho Interior. and those concern
ing brown bears must so to the de-
partment of Agriculture.
Tho reorganization of the govern
ment, which is to cure this and scores
of more serious incongruities, will not
be within the scope of Mr.. Hoover's
activity Ic is but one member Of
the cabinet And not any member OF
tho cabinet, nor all of them nor the
entire executive branch of the gov
ernment can of their own power de-
cree the changing of bureau from
tho department of the government to
another.
rms is NnoUl WITHIN the power OF
Congress. and the work will really he
done by "A committee, of which little
is heard but which Just this week be-
gan vigorous work. II is a joint com
nittec of Congress. headed by Smoot
of Utah, on the part of the Senate, and
Rcavis of Nebraska, on the part of the
House
All that anybody outside of Con-
gross can do is to make recommended
tions.
Undoubtedly Hoover. because of high
quality OF his thought. will be much
relied on in laying out the new scheme
of things, also. because of his popu-
larity. tho association of his name with
tho recommendations will help to put
public pressure behind the changes
pressure which everybody hero re-
alizes will bc needed to overcome the
opposition of the officc holders with
friends In Congress VINO will resent
and resist the individual discomfort
involved in the coming disloca tions.
Much. more pregnant as to Hoover's
future activities was another hint con-
tanned in n few sentences of the speech
already referred to.
After pointing out that three mil
lion men arc out of work in this coun-
try: that tho railroads. compared to
tho volume of their equipment. arc in
worse shape now than at any other
time in their history; that much of
last years crops arc sun on the farms.
and that at the same time millions OF
Europeans arc awfully In need of our
products. Mr.. Hoover said in ten
tstivc way. that possibly tho best way
to cure our economic paralysis is to
cali back tho war time spirit OF ser
vice.

dustry ballotinS on proposed strike,
wage decreases amounting to 121H and
10 per cent together with readjust-
ment of working hours, will so into

Both the packers and union officials
yesterday agreed to meet Secretary
of Labor Davis, who offered his serv-
ices as mediator in the hope of avert
ing a strike.
Tonight representatives of both sides
said that there was little prospect of
agreement.
I Union leaders pointed out that the
packers in agreeing to send two repre-
sentatives to Washington had said I'VE
assume that the justice and necessity
of wage cuts will not be at issue, nor
can there justly be an issue on the
matter of hours" According to repre-
sentativcs of the men this left nothing
to be discussed.
"We know that packers are hoping
some of our men will engage in a run
away strike tomorrow" said Dennis
Lane of tho Amalgamated Meat Cut
crs and Butcher Workmen and lin
fact we have. evidence they are aE-
gravatinG them. However the intcrna-
tional officers have warned our mem
bership to remain on the job until after
tho vote has been taken and until the
international executive board has is
sued strike instructions.
when the strike occurs it will he
national and will have occurred be-
cause of the packers repudiatinS an
agreement with the government and
because OF their desire for n strike to
accomplish the purpose of destroying
the workers organization and unload
ing at profitcerinG prices the enormous
quantities of meat now in cold stora &c,
which they bought at the lowest prices
paid for livestock since 1915
A meeting Of the union leaders TO

Those things arc natural, and in

cidcnts in the legislative program.
instead of being the regular order of
business as they used to be. The i'm
portant thing is that the people eS-
pect more of their legislators and
their officials than they used TO, and
believe me, the folks iu the Capitol

on final roll call TO fronting up
