New Orleans, La.-Little or no
change in prices was noted in the rice
market last week and little more ac-
tivity was seen, especially in the ex-
port department One large factor
made several important sales Medium
grades of Honduras stood on the close
at 4041kc a pound for clean, medium
Japan at 8 5/803&c, and medium
Blue Rose at 5/8@3%c Fancy
grades of Honduras were held as high
as 5 7/8c. The American relief COM
mittee was said to have bought 1000
tons of screenings from various Lou

reviving hope that further purchases
of rice on large scale might be made
before the winter is over.

RATTI is SELECTED
CATHOLIC PONTFF
Successor to Benedict XIV
Takes POntificial Name
Of Plus XII.

London. Cardinal Achille Ratti,
archbishop Of Milan. has been chosen
supreme pontiff Of L,e Roman Catho-
lie Church to succeed the late Pope
Benedict XIV. His coronation as Plus
xI viii take place Feb. 10
After the announcement of his cleo
tion the pope appeared on the outside
balcony of st. Peters and bestowed
the benediction of the thousands who
had waited patiently in the rain in st.
Peters Square, the first time this has
occurred since the breech between the
state and the church in 1870; for fifty
two years the blessing has been be-
slowed from within the basilica.
The election was completed without
American participation in the con-
clave, Cardinal O'Connell, archbishop
of Boston, arriving at the moment the
new pope was blessing the multitude.
Universal Pacification" is the key
note of the new pope's policy, as indi-
Gated in statement issued by Prince
Chigi, marshal of the conclave, which
made reference to the first blessing
bestowed by Plus XI. Continual con-
ciliation inaugurated by his predeces-
sor, probable reconciliation Of the
state and church, which have been
estranged for so many years, and an
appeal to all the nations of the world
to restore peace are said to constitute
the most essential aims to the Vati-
can policy as it will be conducted un-
der the present pontiff.
Cardinal Gasparri will retain his Of
flee as papal secretary of state
That the new pope has decided to
exercise his full authority was shown
when some of the cardinals attached
to what has become known as the cir
reconci1iables" attempted to persuade
him not to appear on the outside bal
cony. He listened to the arguments
for few minutes, and then said:
Remember, I am no longer a car
dinal, / am the supreme pontiff now"
The diplomatic corps and papal ar
istOcracy were received in the Vatican
Monday afternoon.
AS the pontiff moved slowly along,
all knelt. He offered his hand and it
was reverently kissed; then he pro-
ceeded to Clementine Hall, where 9th
ers received the papal benediction.
There was a touch of melancholy sad
ness and disappointment to hundreds
OF Americans mingling among thou
sands of Italians in St. Peters square
when Cardinal Bisleti, dean of the
cardinal deacons, appeared on the bal
cony of st. Peters and shouted:
II bring you great joy"
The words spelled CONSERVATION to
the Americans and few minutes later
as Cardinal O'Connell's automobile
drew up to the large bronze gate on
the right side of the Vatican it was
realized that one more conclave had
been held without American partici'

SAYS SEMPLOYERS
BROKE CONTRACT
Judge Issues Injunction Against
New York Garment Manu-
faCturerS.
DAMAGES WILL Be SOUGHT
Decision Is a Precedent and is consld-
cred Of Immense Importance to La
bor-EmpIoyers Must Reinstata For
mer Workmen.

Suits for sums totaling between
100000 and $4OOO,OOO, representing
wages lost by the $1,000 garment
workers who have been on strike for
two months, will be filed against New
York garment manufacturers as re-
suit of Supreme Court Justice Wag-
ner's action in enjoining the manu-
facturers from combining to enforce
a 49-hour week and a piecework sys-
TEN.
Justice Wagner's action, represent
ing the first time that a union has in
voked legal action to restrain employ
ers from breaking a contract, is con-
sidered one of the most important de-
cisions ever handed down in the inter
ests of labor.
Justice Wagner held that the gar
ment manufacturers had Illegally com
bined to compel all members of their
organization to enforce the 49-hour
week and the piecework system in all
New York shops, direct violation OF
an agreement between the employers
and workers providing for 44-hOur
week and the week-work system. This
agreement, entered into May 20, 1919,
and renewed June %, 1921, does not
expire until June 1 Of this year.
Justice Wagner granted perma-
nent and mandatory injunction, which
attorneys for the strikers declare will
compel the manufacturers to reinstate
their old employees under the condi-
tions of the existing agreement.
While agreeing that the decision is
an important moral victory for organ
ized labor as a whole, and stating that
it twas an act of just retribution and
poetic justice to hurl one of such mis-
siles against it's inventors" Morris
Hillquit, one of the strikers counsel,
contends that union labor can never
adopt this means as a continuously
effective procedure against the en-
ployers.
"Injunctions against employers can
never be as drastic as those issued
against labor" he said.
zone of the principal merits of the
precedent established in this decision" P"
he said 'is that it will tend to make
injunctions less popular with employ
ers. l hope it will lead to the eventual
complete abolition of labor injunc-
tiOns"

Fleet of EIat.Rottom Raraes.

Shreveport, La.-If negotiations now
under way between the local Cham

terested in the project are successful,
a fleet of flat bottomed barges will be
put in operation on Red River in con-
nection with plans to establish perma.
nent water transportation by way of
the Red River to the Mississippi River
The fleet of boats considered in the
plans under consideration would be
capable of carrying a large amount Of
freight every day, according to Joe X.
Waller, secretary of the Chamber Of
Commerce. The navigation plans con-
template the installment of recently
invented power tugboats built on the
general plan of caterpillar tractors, en-
abling them, it is said, to negotiate
shallow places and sand bars, cutting
a canal for the egress of the barges
which they are drawing.

The Cameroons and Togoland, which
are now under the mandate of Great
Britain by authority Of the treaty of
Versailles, were handed over to EN-
peror William Iby a German professor
whose Ostensible interest in the black
races was scientific.
Gustave Nachtigal (1S24 to 1850
had made many exploring trips into
Africa and brought back tales Of COM
mercial and other possibilities that
strongly appealed to Bismarck. In
1884, the Iron Chancellor instructed
Nachtigal to explore certain regions
on behalf Of the government, and when
the scientist had arrived at his des-
tinatlon, a German officer who had ac-
companied him at the special direc-
ton Of Bismarck, instructed him to
plant the German flag on the roof Of
the hut Of the greatest chief of the
country and to declare the population
subject to the scepter of the German
