CANTALOUPE CARS
BREAK RECORD AS
SOON AS MADE NOW

Cantaloupe records still continue to
be broken almost as soon as they are
made, the bureau of markets estimat-
ing today's shipment at approximate
ly $50 cars Yesterday the 800 mark
was passed by % ears, exceeding the
estimate of the bureau by II cars. The
Southern Pacific company expects be
tween 80 and 60 cars of watermelons
will be shipped today.
Eastern cantaloupe markets continue
good, though prices have declined some
what due to increase of Georgia and
Mexican melons. At New York, I'm
perial valley standards sold for $3 to
1925; Boston, $3.50; Chicago, $3.50 to
$4; st. Louis, 1915 to $425.
Under date of June 81, shipments OF
cantaloupes from various parts of the
United States were as follows:
Imperial valley, 40 cars; Georgia,
63 ears; South Carolina, one ear.
Shipments from Imperial valley were
destined to all parts of the country,
and one car each to Toronto and Van
couver, Canada. Chicago led all places
in number of ears ordered, So going to
that city; New York was second with
so; Pittsburg, So; Los Angeles, 80;
Kansas City, 27 and Philadelphia 20
ears. Shipments to other cities ranged
from one to Is cars.
Total shipment to June q amount to
1888 cars. On the same date last year
5,476 ears had been shipped, showing
this year to be 1928 ears behind, due
to late season. At the rate the melons
are going out at present, the bureau of
markets predicts that last year S mark
will soon be passed.

WAR PROFITS STILL
MADE ON MEATS

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Lowel
meat prices may result from an inves
tigation now being made by the de
partment of agriculture in enforce
ment of law regulating packers and
stockyards.
Reports have been received that
commission men in the packing houses
and stockyards centers still are exact
ing war time profits. If this is found
to be true these men probably will be
called upon to answer profiteering
charges.
Already the government has beer
quietly investigating practices in some
of the stockyard centers, including Chi
cago, Omaha, Houston, st. Paul ano
Portland. Federal agents have learned
enough to convince them that malprac
tices are prevalent in many stock eX
change centers.

SOUTHERN CITIES
PLEDGE PAYMENT
OF BOULDER DAM

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Strong
assurances that the government would
be repaid for the expense of building
the proposed $70,000,O00 Boulder Can
yon dam in the Colorado river were

Food Truck Starts Attack
The meeting, it is said, was held two
miles east of Herrin in q grove. AS
the miners were discussing the situa-
ton, commissary truck carrying pro
visions to the strike breaking miners,
passed the grove.
Despite demands of leaders that the
crowd make no demonstration, Willis
said, the commissary truck was fired
on and the battle, which ended "a hours
later, was on.
Indifference of Herrin people to the
outbreak was astounding.
No newspapers carrying accounts of
the battle are allowed to be sold at
news stands.
A jury was empanelled by Coroner
William McGowan. After the jurors
had been sworn in today, one member
said:
"Well, boys, let's adjourn until
Sunday"
And adjourn they did.

impossibility of obtaining competent

today and mine operators We're ordered
by officials not to make any further at

Feeling against G. A. Mcdowell, sup
erintendent of the main, who was first
slain, was still so bitter i'll Herrin that
his body was moved to a morgue III
neighboring city in secrecy. Officials
feared strike sympathizers might make
an effort to obtain his body and pre-
cipitate n new outbreak.
Colonel Hunter, who is representing
the National Guard on the ground,
said today as far as he knew, no in
vestigation into the killings We're under
way and that no arrests had been made.
He pointed out that authorities could
do nothing to punish those who are
guilty unless the district was under
martial law.

Numbered among these were business
men who before the 221a per cent re-
duct!on OF year ago supported re-
duction. The labor groups are natural
~ gratlfied. The manufacturers are
credited with being divided into two
camps. Those advocating reduction
nave at times gained strength enough
to give some foundation to the re-
ports. That this group was not en-
tlrely placated is Indicated by the fact
that no definite period was established
Tor the continuation Of the present
scale.
This phase of the situation has been
the chief point of discussion in the few
Gays since the statement was issued.
The prevailing sentiment, however. is
TO accept the additional declaration Of
the manufacturers that there will be
no further consideration given the sub
ject as giving assurance that it covers
a reasonably durable period.
The view in this respect is that what
ever advantage the mills hoped to gain
IN wage reduction is lost, and that
losses in other channels must BIZ
checked. There has been rather ex
tensive withholding from the market
ny cloth mon, traceablc to the belief
that wages would be cut and take cloth
prices down. The belief exists that the

from the market, and that their own
interests demand that the policy con-
