CHRISTMAS TURKEYS
CHEAPER, IS OUTLOOK

TRENTON, Dec. 20.-There is a
tendency toward lower prices for
Christmas turkeys, according to re-
ports procured by the New Jersey
state bureau Of markets from large
production and distribution centers.
1t was said by the bureau that there
will be a plentiful supply of turkeys
and all other poultry for the Christ
mas season. While the market ap-
pears to be as unsettled as it was
prior to Thanksgiving, many more
birds will come into the market be-
cause owing to high prices at
Thanksgiving, dealers did not buy
as heavily as usual. This left more
poultry to be obtained at Christmas
Although actual demands from the
public will have much to do in set
ting the final retail price, producers
and dealers look for a slight reduce
tion, according to the bureau.

 3. This control extends not only to the various railroad systems but also to the chief industries of the country which furnish the railroads with fuel, material for maintenance of way and equipment, new equipment and other supplies.

 ed on a national basis.
 By various devices and largely by virtue of the government guarantee following the return of the railroads to their owners after the Armistice millions upon millions of dollars have been taken by the railroads from the United States treasury. The findings of the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion and of the Railroad Labor Board clearly indicate the accuracy of the statement that approximately two bill lion dollars a year are wasted by mis- management, by improper financing and by useless duplication of effort, This enormous Wastage thus far has been covered by drafts upon the treasury of the United States. The decision at this time to reduce the wages of the workers is an effort to take from their pockets the enormous sums hitherto provided by the gov ernment to cover the cost of railroad waste, extravaganza and high fnanc- ing.
 We point to the fact that the rail roads in practically every case have completely ignored decisions which they considered contrary to their in terests and we state specifically that O2 Id1lIOddS III IDA cases nave tIluS ignored the awards of the board. We repeat, that in none of these cases has there been the slightest effort on the part of the government to coerce the railroad arrangements into acceptance of displeasing awards. On the con cases involving the award against the Pennsylvania Railroad, that railroad obtained an injunction which prevent ed the Railroad Labor Board from enforcing or even publishing the de eision, The government by it's si- : 1ence has been a party to the conduct of the railroads in ignoring the awards of the Railroad Labor Board

To-day" says the report of the Federal Trade Commission, "the en- tire country is divided into II Stand ard gasoline marketing territories in which a Standard marketing company is the dominating factor and in which there is no real competition betweeh the various Standard units. This monopolistic situation is possible un- der the terms of the Standard Oil dissolution decree, by which the diff ferent Standard companies are, tor legal purposes, supposed to be strangers to each other, but there IS, as is generally known, an interlock- ing stock ownership in the different organizations which has perpetuated the veD' monopolistic control which the court sought to terminate"
 Congress must, of course, take cog Commission being of the opinion that there is no remedy dy in existing laws, recommends that Congress prohibit common stock ownership in corpora lions which have been members of a combination dissolved under the Sherman law.
 The Federal Trade Commissions investigation of the petroleum trade was begun Tn Wyoming and Montana as a result of a complaint made, by the Montana State Railway Com mission. In regard to the petroleum business in the Rocky Mountain re zion, the commission says:
 "The margins, between the whole sale and retail pasoline prices at numerous points in Montana, ranged from five to 10 cents per gallon, but these unusually large. margins were in all caess obtained only by the smaller retailers. The wholesale and retail prices of the large marketing companies were usually identical at points taking the same freight rates and price changes were made by them at practically the time.
 |'The unsa tisfactory situation in Montana and adjacent Rocky Noun tain states is evidently due to the fact that the oil trade in this region is

The following statement of facts is agreed upon by the railroad unions, by the American Federation of La bor, and by nearly every authority that has made adequate investigation of the subject:

and 1t must thus stand convicted not only of inconsistency but of bad faith in tls present tremendous effort to coerce the railroad workers into an acceptance of an award that is bitterly un just and that violates every tradi- ton of American fairness and justice
 We construe that action nthe part of the Railroad Labor Board as an effort to assist the general move ment of Bourbon employers and re- actionary financial interests through out the country to destroy the volun- tary organization of the workers and to open the door for the re-establish- ment of an industrial autocracy in which the workers would be helpless.
 We construe the presidential proclamation issued on July II as of the same character and we call at tention to the fact that the proclama- ton placed emphasis upon the stop page of work by the workers, sought to create the impressoin that the workers were acting unlawfully, and called for action everywhere to curb this alleged unlawful conduct of the workers, but called for no action to alter the conduct of railroad manage nents.
 Let there be no mistake: This is a strike against the Wall Street in terests and their hirelings, the man. agers who control the railroads of the land and not against the United States government. The Railroad La bor Board is not judicial, executive or legislative branch of the govern ment. It is purely an advisory and recommendatory body and the public has had no choice in the selection of the personnel nor has the public any control over any of it's members.

There has been more ingenious propaganda favoring this bill than ever originated in the support of any bill," said MT. Hardy. And yet 1t is by the merest accident that this bill IS before this House. The President of the United States sought to secure the services of MT. James A. Farrell as chairman of the Shipping Board MT. Farrell is a shipping expert, man greatly interested in the shipping industry. He never thought of advo- eating a subsidy, but, on the con trary, he has stated that under prop CT legislation American ships can compete with the ships of the world Had the first selection of the Presi- dent been made, had MT.

practically monopolized by Standard Oil interests. The producer of crude petroleum and the consumer of gaso- line are both at the mercy of the Standard. This monopolistic position was perfected in 1920 and 1921, when the Standard Oil Co.
