BUSINESS coNDITIoNs IN. NEW ENGLAND.

.heIew 1929.1a period of high prices9.- Just as tH Boton, these other New Eng land stores experienced a falling of in sales between April and May.
 While the Boston department stores show a gain in the dollar value of net sales in May as compared with the year before, they report twice as large an increase in the number of individual pur- chases in other words, sales transac- tions. The other New England depart ment stores showed loss in the dollar value of stheir ales this year compared with last, but reported a slight gain in the physical volume of goods, that is, greater number of yards, pairs or pieces sold during May, as compared with the corresponding month last year, than is indicated from the increase in the totals of the dollar sales, or they may be merely the result of more in- tensive shopping by the public and the
 consequence of more frequent though
 sfn.il1er orS7ers.
 Merchants stocks of goods continued
 in May, as they have for some months, to be very nearly the same size as they
 were on -=thecorresponding dates a year ago. There was a slight downward
 trend during May in both groups of de- partment stores, as is normal at the close of the spring season.

THE RAILROAD srRTKE.

Unless it was B. M. Jewell. head of The railroad shopmen, no one could be surprised over the decision of the rail- roads to his ultimatum. It would be as much out of the question for the rail- roads 10 back down and decline to abide by. the decision of the railroad labor board as it would be for a plaintiff to refuse 10 accept a verdict in his favor after court had heard and decided in lecord with the facts It is not the railroads which have determined the rs uction in wages for the railroad men put the railroad labor board. named by md representing the government for the pufpose of determining disputes rela- efs to wages and working conditions when the roads and their employees can tot agree. Such action as the shopmen irs therefore taking is against the board md not against the railroads.
 When the maintenance of way leader nrlds in sbeyance strike Of thos, ran- road employees it must be regarded as a sane course of action. There haze been other threats by railroad employees to strike in the past and not so long ago lt was declared by the head of one of ihe organizations that a strike couId not oe maintained against the government. Such a strike would have been lacking u public sympathy. Still the conditions are no different today. This strike of Inc shopmen which has been authorized and that of other bodies which is threat med is a strike against the government and there are good reasons for believ- Ing that any such move would fail to get public support inasmuch as 1t is a strike against the very government ma. ehinery which has been set up to- insure bust treatment for all concerned, includ- Ing the public. and not simply to show class favo-itism.
 Inasmuch as it is a government agen- ? that ls involved 1t Is to be expected hat the railroad labor board will havt The full support and backing of the gov 'rnment in the position that it has taker md that the efforts 10 embarrass the en fire country through handicapping tn Transportation service will be strongl, tssisted.'

GUARDING PUBLIC CARRIERS.

Some of the frightful accidents at grade crossings have involved auto buses filled with people going to or from some celebration or party. Collisions under such circumstances have meant big death lists. Quite the same is to be ex- pected from the operation of jitneys when they cross railroad or trolley tracks, and with that fully in mind the utility commission of Rhode Island, has required that all 5itneys must come to a stop within 20 to 50 feet. of the nearest rail of the steam or electric road track and the operator must look carefully in each direction to ascertain that no loco. motive nor. cars are coming, before going ahead under second speed.
 Such a requirement. will be regarded as a wise provision. Down in the state of Virginia all autos are required tC stop and look in that manner under g penalty of ten dollars if they fail to dc so. It is provision in behalf of safety made necessary by the failure on. the part of drivers to give due considera tion to the danger of railroad crossings
 Jitneys being under state contro should be subject to regulations whicf are only what are required Of trolleys Conductors of electric cars are obliged to get off and look up and down railroae tracks when such are to be crossed. I is a protection to the travelling public and that is what Che Rhode Island com mission is insisting upon when it re quires the jitneys to stop TT
 There can be no toleration of publi carrier taking chances and certainly a, public carrier it is only reasonabl that the jitneys should observe the sam precautions as the trolley cars. It cal be appreciated that there would be les fatalities at such points if the idea wa observed by all, but in lieu thereof large contribution to safety can be-nad by slowing down and paying attention t the warning signals or by looking an listening. Those who use jitney line will do so with greater assurance o safety when they know that, caution ! being exercised. ....-,-s-.
