GOVERNMENT SEEKS
TO BOOST MEAT Use

WASHINGTON, Dec. Having
proclaimed that eating of meat is
healthful, the department of agricul-
ture today took its second step in
the campaign to stimulate the use of
meat as an aid to the livestock indus
try, which has been feeling the eff
fects of decreased use. A four-colored
poster displaying as its central figure
we'll garnished roast of beef in nat
ural colors was released for use by
various organizations which plan to
distribute it for display throughout
the country
Over the name of the department
of agriculture the poster says: Meat
is wholesome. For health and vigoI
eat well balanced meals. Use a yari
ETY. of kinds and cuts of meat
In announcing the new poster, the
department said:
Meat is the cornerstone of the
diet in our western civilization Its
economic importance in industry is
not less than its nutritional value
Meat, fish, poultry, cheese, milk and
eggs are the foods that insure tht
human body the protein necessary fol
tissue-building purposes. The great

NOVEMBER BUSINESS
CONDITIONS HEALTHY,
SURVEY INDICATES
(Ry Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. - Novem-
Der business conditions represented a
continuation of the upward trend in
production, a greater employment of
labor which in some localities was
reported nearing the scarcity mark,
and a generally healthy tone in trade,
according to the monthly survey
made public today by the Federal re-
serve board.
Contrary to the usual situation al
this season of the year, the board
found production in basic industries
increasing, a condition that has pro
ceeded almost uninterruptedly since
July, 1921, VIXEN production was low.
er than at any time in recent years
The condition the board believed
augured well.
The increase production was ac
companied by a heavy freight move
ment car loadings for November be
| ing reported only five per cent below
the high record in October, and sub
| stantially higher than corresponding
months in previous years. Despite
the heavy demand the rail lines were
said to be meeting the call for cars
| because of great decrease in the mum
| Der under repairs.
Labor Shortages.
Labor shortages were reported IL
some localities, the review stated, ad
ding that the demand for workers a
most establishments seemed to b.
| increasing. The shortages were found
largely among steel and textile mill!
and contractors but there was said Il
be some surplus of common labor IL
| the eastern section of the nation.
Wholesale trade felt the usual sea
sonal slump but it was not regarded
as serious because of the othel
healthy conditions, and large Christ
mas sales obviously had tended to de
plete retail stocks. The wholesale
trade, therefore, was expected to picl
up appreciably at once.
Large Credit Demand
The volume of payments by check
ordinarily a measure of business turn
over, decreased slightly in every fed
eral reserve district except Atlanta
the board said. For 140 reporting
cities, the total number of checks wa.
seven per cent lower than in Octobe
but approximately ten per vent highe,
than in November last year.
i Larger demand for bank credit wa
noted during the month but it scenes
to have been confined mostly to th'
interior, the review said, and was &C
companied by lquidation of loans anC
investments in New York and Boston
The demand was most pronounced il

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Thousands of
volunteer snow handlers were called to
the shovels today to help dig New
York City out of its first big storm of
the season-a blizzard of snow and
sleet which, starting yesterday under
moderate temperatures, became over
night an icy gale, which threatened to
paralyze all transportation.
The storm took its toll of hundreds
of injured. From early last evening
until daybreak hospital ambulances
were bringing in pedestrians with
broken arms, fractured legs or cracked
skulls, who had fallen victims to the
treachery of ice covered streets. Most
hospitals We're crowded to capacity,
and the problem of caring for new ar
rivals became increasingly grave as
the list of injured mounted.
At least two persons are reported to
have been killed in falls on the city's
thoroughfares.
High Wind Velocity
The wind reached high velocity.
/ Combined with the unaccustomed bur
den of snow, it worked havoc with
above ground power and telephone
lines, street car transmission cables,
roofs of buildings and large trees.
! Lives of pedestrians in some sections
were endangered by falling signs, tum-
bling chimneys and smokestacks.
! Thousands of dollars of damage were
/ believed to have been sustained on
Long and Staten Islands, where numer-
Gus small craft were washed ashore.
Along the waterfront the toll of dam
aged buildings was reported heavy.

JAMES PACE TRIAL
GOES TO NEXT TERM;
FRAME-UP ALLEGED

James F. Pace, local attorney and
Democratic candidate for prosecutor
at the November election, who was
arrested on the nigh: of Sept. 80, on
a charge of violation of the liquor law,
was not tried in Wayne circuit court
Friday because of the illness of Prose
cutor Paul Beckett.
The case was extended over to the
January term of court but no assign
ment of the date of trial was made By
the court
The extra petit jury which had been
panelled for the hearing was dismissed
with no definite instructions as to
when the next trial will be held. The
case was tried in Wayne circuit court
on Oct. 13 but the jury disagreed
Considerable interest has been arous-
ed by the Pace case, on account of the
charges which have been made that
the arrest was a part of a plan of
the Ku Klux Klan to get Pace out
of the way.
Charges Frame-Up
Pace has claimed ever since the ar
rest was made that the bottle of liquor
was placed on him by a member of
the Klan, and that the Klan had the
police near at hand where they could
be called to find the liquor on Pace.
The claims of Pace were substantial
ed by members of the Klan who at var
ious times have stated that it was a
fTame-up on him, and that the commit
tee which passes on the expenditures
OF the Klan voted $3.50 with which
to buy the liquor
As the present term of Prosecutor
Beckett ends on Dec 81, if the case
! comes up again, it will have to be
brought up by Frank Strayer who
takes office Jan. 1.

PEACE PARLEY
AT LAUSANNE
NEAR RUPTURE
Conference Deadlock
UnbrOken
(Rv Associated Press

LAUSANNE, Dec. 29.-The dead
lock in the near east conference with
differences over capitalization and oil
territory threatening a possible rup-
ture, continued unbroken today, pend
ing the arrival of fresh instructions
to the Turkish delegation from An
CORA.
The entire situation has been sub
mitted by telegraph to the Angora
authorities while Hassan Bey declared
Ottoman plenipotentiaries who left
recently for Angora to outline the
status of the negotiations to Musta-
pha Kemal Pasha and the grand ma
tional assemblies, are due to arrive
at the Nationalist capital today.
The allies meanwhile are preparing
rough draft of the peace treaty,
which will contain the allied concep-
ton of the various clauses, and spec
ify also the counterviews of the Turks
on the disputed questions. The report
that the British Mediterranean fleet
had been ordered to return to Cons
tantinople has stirred Lausanne, and
has served to emphasize the delicacy
of the situation. The impression now
seems to exist among allies, that the
deadlock will drag on until the Turks
see how the reparations conference
of the premiers at Paris turns out.
Block Concessions
The Angora government moved to
block any concessions on the part of
Ismet Pasha, even in the face of this
yelled threat of force. The kemalists
took away the Turk delegates mand-
ate and required that any decisions
reached at Lausanne be referred to
Angora for ratification.
The conference having become a
struggle between British and Turks to
shift the blame upon each other for
the break now regarded as inevitable,
the former have won the backing OF
all other delegations except the Rus
SLAMS.
The United States supported the al
lied demand for judicial guarantees
France, Japan and Italy stood with
Great Britain in the matter of cpitula
tons,
Turkey is now believed to be jockey
| ing for a position from which it can
be made to appear that British retl
cence to give up the rich Mosut OIL
fields is the real cause of the break
down of the Lausanne parley.
