On December 1 the board reconstituted the working rules so that the open shop principle was recognized.
 In the packing industry there was wage reduction in March and a strike was narrowly averted. In September the large packing plants installed the shop representation system and in No vember under this plan, the employees consented to further reduction of 10 per cent. The meat cutters repudiated this and called a strike on Dec. 5.
 There were many minor strikes, most of them short lived. Samuel GOmpers was reelected president of the American Federation of Labor which held its convention in Denver in June.
 Great Britain's coal miners went on strike on March 1 and for nearly four months the nations industries were near collapse. The rail and transport workers refused to go out and the government would not yield to the demands that the mines be national 1zed, so the miners returned to work on June 28 without having gained much.

LABOR AND INDUSTRIAL

Two strong tendencies in the world States. One was toward a reduction
 of wages, as a part of the return to normalcy," and the other was toward i the establishment of the open shop. Naturally both were contested by or ganized labor, not wholly successfully. The railway executives took the lead
 in both movements, but had many fol- lowers. In January the national con- ference of state manufacturers assO- citations pledged support for the open shop movement. On the last day of that month the railway executives asked that the national working agree ments be abrOgated; the railroad brOtherhOOds appealed to President Wilson to prevent wage reductions but he refused to interfere. By order of the railway labor board some of the working agreements were terminated on July 1 and a wage cut averaging 12 per cent was put into effect. The rail- ways later announced they would ask further wage cuts. The membership of the brotherhOOds decided by vote t1@t strike should be called on OctO- b~f 30, but nine allied unions refused to support such a strike, and on an- nOuncement by the board that it would not consider wage cut requests until all working rule questions had been decided the strike order was cancelefH'

House They Are Expected to Use in Laying Season.

It is a good plan to house the tur- keys during the winter months where they are expected to lay during the laying season. A straw barn makes a Nery desirable shelter for turkeys dur ing the winter season and, being little used in the spring and early summer, makes a very suitable place for the turkeys to lay and brood In.

CHALMERS COST
 OF UPKEEP SMALL

The Chalmers Motto company. through its dealers, recently con- ducted an investigation among Chal- mers owners to determine the average cost of maintenance of their cars. According to Motor Sales Corporation, Chalmers distributors, this review, which covered a very fair proportion of all Chalmers cars in use, not only showed a remarkably low cost of up- keep and surprisingly few parts re- placements, but also proved extremely long average. life.
 The small cost of maintenance of Chalmers cars. proved by this inves- tigation, was a result expected by the company" stated MT. TaiIey. But the length of service disclosed, given in most cases to original purchasers, was unusual even for much higher priced cars. Many users asserted that their cars needed no more attention than a grinding of valves or occa- sional removal of carbon after 15.000 to 10000 miles Of hard running.
 Gasoline consumption was found to be uniformly~low tire mileage verT' high-even on fabric tires-and the New Serbs Chalmers Six Is equipped all around with nom skid cords.

PAIGE BUSINESS GROWTH REFLECTS
 GENERAL BOOM

~. How rapidly business conditions are Improving Is evident by tho sales record for 1929 of tho Paige-Detroit Motor Car company.
 'ees Paige sales for February were a half larger than those for January says MT. H. Nj. Jewett- president of the company. Sales for March doubled those for February, and be- fore the first of -ipril we had re- ceived orders for shipments during the month of nearly twice the March total.
 Our ApIil business will be the largest this company has ever had. We will ship nearly double the num- Der of cars we did in April of 1921. Before the beginning of the month our bona fide orders for shipme ments during April totaled over 5000 cars.
 The automobile business is boom ing because motor cars are essen tials. They offer efficient transpor- tation necessary to modern civiliza- tfen. We at Paige are able to show a 100 per oent increase because we are offering sound, dependable trans portation at & rock lttom price. People now recognize that and they are buying our product fin q far larger volume than ever before"

How Time. Have Changed

When automobiles first became popular, only the most reckless ped- estrian would start across the street when there was a car coming within q block. Today men. women and chil- dren drive carelessly into the path of taxicabs. buses and trucks, trusting their lives to the skill of the drivers and the efficiency of brakes. Truly, 1t is the infrequency of accidents. considering conditions, that should cause astonishment, rather than the number of accidents.
