NATIONAL LEGISLATION

Not q great deal Of legislation was
passed by the Republican congress
during the last two months Of Presi-
dent Wilson's administration. The
President vetoed the bill to revive the
War Finance corporation on January
2, and congress promptly repassed 1t.
On January II, $7,1OO,OO0 was appro-
priated for enforcement of prohibition.
The house decided, on January 10, that
its membership should not be in
creased. After much debate congress
set the limit Of the regular army at
$4,000 men. Mr.. Wilson vetoed the
measure, but 1t was passed over his
veto. On February % the President
signed the Winslow bill, making avail
able to the railroads S370,OOO,OO0 from
the government guarantee fund.
President Harding called congress
in extra session on April IL and nearly
all the rest Of the year it was busy
with the task Of redeeming the pledges
of the Republican party, with what
success must be left to individual
Judgment. Among the first bills passed
were emergency tariff and immigra-
ton acts; new army bill cutting the
army down to 10000; and the budget
bill. On April 80 the senate adopted
a resolution declaring the war with
Germany and Austria at an end; on
June 13 the house adopted resolu
ton of similar purpOrt, and the meas
ure was finally passed on July 1 and
signed the next day by President
Harding. Repeated efforts to pass a
soldiers bonus bill came to naught,
but q soldiers relief bureau was Gre
ated on August and Col. G. r. Forbes
was made it's director. The house
passed both a tax revision bill and a
tariff bill, but the senate did not get
around to the latter. The tax meas
ure was enacted into law on Novem'
Der Fl.
Among other important measures
passed were bill to exempt American
coastwise shipping from payment OF
Panama canal tolls !; bill for govern
ment regulation of the packing indus,
try; the $4S,5OO,OOO shipping board
deficiency bill; the billion-dollar farm
exports credit bill; and various meas.
ures relating to Enforcement of the
prohibition amendment, including one
forbidding the manufacture and sale
of beer as medicine.
The extra session came to an end
on November %, and on December
congress met for the regular session.

IN his mission to q considerable ex.

cation between the United States and
CUBA was opened BY an exchange Of
greetings between Presidents Harding
and Meuocal.
The United States Supreme ceurt
rendered several notable decisions. On
January 81 1t held that Judge Lands
had no lawful right or power to pre-
hide over the trial Of Victor Berger and
other Socialists. On March % it ruled
that profits from sale Of corporate
stocks and bonds and capital assets
are taxable as income. On April II Il
refused to review the convictions of
Haywood and 70 other I. w. w. mem
bers. The conviction of Senator New.
berry Of Michigan ana others for al
legged violation of the corrupt prac-
tices act was set aside on May 2, the
act being held void. On June 80 VIII
liam Howard Taft was appointed CHIEF
justice and was sworn in on October 3.
The unemployment situation be-
came so bad during the summer that
President Harding called a conference
of experts on the subject. 1t began its
sessions on September 20 and, after
long study, established a central bu-
reau and started local employment
movements throughout the country.
The resulting relief was but partial,
for business itself was suffering a gen.
eral depression.
One Of the worst race riots In the
history of the country broke out In
Tulsa. Okla. on May 81. Before it
was quelled the negro quarter of the
city had been burned and 35 persons
had been killed and many wounded.
Labor troubles IF long standing in

lowers. In January the natioAal con-
ference ct 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
orotherhoods appealed to President
Wilson to prevent wage reductions but
ne refused to interfere. By order Of
the railway labor board some Of the
working agreements were terminated
on July and . wage cut averaging IL
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
that strike should be called on Octo-
Der 80. but nine allied unions refused
to support such strike, and on an
nouncement by the board that 1t would
not consider wage cut requests until
all working rule questions had been
decided the strike order was cancelled.
On December the board reconstructed
the working rules so that the open
shop principle was recognized.
In the packing industry there was
wage reduction in March and q 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. s.
There were many minor strikes,
most OF them short lived. Samuel
Gompers was reelected president Of
the American Federation of Labor
which held it's convention in Denver
in June.
Great Britain's coal miners went on
strike on March l and for nearly four
months the nations industries were
near collapse. The rail and transport
workers refused to 60 out and the
government would not yield to the
demands that the mines be national
lied, so the miners returned to work
on June % without having gained
much.

ETFT G. CO.'S WEEKLY PRODUCE
MARKET REVIEW

Continued increase in the receipts
- cream throughout the producing
sections has resulted in little un-
snsiness and lower butter market,
Nth a corresponding decline In
prices being paid for butter-fat.
The American Association of
Creamery Butter Manufacturers re-
ports an increase Of 45.7 per cent In
the make of butter for week ending
December II over the corresponding
week in 1920.
Poultry dealers have experienced
a heavy run of poultry throughout
the country. Selling prices in the
consuming centers have generally
been depressed, on account of the
large supplies arriving, but it has
had only a small effect on buying
conditions in producing sections.
The sale of turkeys for Christmas
trade was not satisfactory and
indicated that consumers wouldn't
pay the high prices for dressed stock
which were necessary by reason Of
the values given to live shippers in
producing sections.
There is a much larger supply Of
poultry in storage. In view Of the
large holdings, receivers are show
ing some hesitancy toward increas-
tne their sforape holdings at price
levels which have prevailed during
the past few weeks. The fresh egg
supply continues to increase, due to
the fine open weather. Unless there
is an immediate increase in the rate
- consumption, or continued severe
winter weather, only moderate
prices way be expected on new laid
eggs.

LABOR AND INDUSTRIAL

States. One was toward a reduction

Naturally both were contested by or

CHAPTER II

Before the gray dawn came over the
Ian Bruce Duncan had started west
ward. He had no self-amazement at
the lightning decision. He was only
strangely and deeply exultant.
The reasons why went too deep
within him to be easily seen. In tie,
first place, it was adventure-and
Bruce's life had not been very adven-
turous heretofore. Then there was a
sense of Unreasonable relief at his
sudden and unexpected freedom from
the financial problems his father had
left. He would have no more consul
tations with impatient creditors, no
more would he strive to gather to-
gether the ruins of the business, and
attempt to salvage the small remain
ing fragments of his fathers fortune.
He had no plans, he didn't know which
way to turn. All at once, through the
message that Barney had brought him,
he had seen a clear trail ahead. 1t
was something to do, something at
last that mattered.
Finally there remained the eminent
fact that this was an answer to his
dream. He was going toward Linda,
at last. The girl had been the one
living reature in his memory that he
had cared for and who cared for him
the n person whose interest in him
wal real. Linda, the little 'spitfire''
of his %boyhood, had suddenly become
the II reality in his world, and as he
thought of her, his memory reviewed
the few Impressions he mad retained
Of his childhood.
First was the Square house-the
orphanage-where the Woman had
turned him over to the nurse in
charge. Sometimes, when tobacco
smoke was heavy upon him, Bruce
could catch a very dim and fleeing
glimpse of the Woman's face. 1t was
only a glimpse, only the faintest blur
In half-tone, and then quite gone. Yet
he never gave up trying.
The few times that her
picture did come to him, it brought
n number of things with 1t. One of
them was a great and overwhelming
realization of some terrible tragedy
and terror the nature of which he
could not even guess.
she's been through fire." the nurse
told the doctor when he came In and
the door had closed behind the Woman.
Bruce did remember these words. be.
cause many years elapsed before he
completely puzzled them out. The
nurse hadn't meant such fires as swept
through the far-spread evergreen
forests of the Northwest. 1t was some
