LIGHT PLANTS
REVENUE CROWS
Power Companies of e. S. Show
Increase Despite Industrial
Depression.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-Despite the
industrial depression of 1921, the
electrical power companies of the
country generally showed an in
crease in revenue, due to the enOr-
nous growth in residential light
ing. Ainslie A. Gray of Chicago told
members of the Electric club in an
address here.
This increased revenue" he
said, was made possible despite a
decrease in the operating ratio.
The average growth in resident
consumption is about 100000 homes
a year. In 1921 there were 1907
600 new resident customers. That
means that many homes were wir-
ed last year"
Of the 21,000.000 homes in the
United States. he said, 100000
are near electrical power and s.
900, 900 are wired for electricity.

PACKER MEN
To VOTE ON
STRIKE END
Men to Decide Whether

Shall Continue.

Chicago, Jan. Effectiveness

tomorrow by locals throughout the
country, under orders Of headquar-
ters here of the Amalgamated
Meat Cutters and Butcher Work
men of North America has been
denied by the packers since its in
CePtion on Dec. 5.
In many plants admissions were
made that for a few days work was
diminished, but that recently all
the plants have been operating
with output unimpaired. Until re-
Gently the union maintained all
plants were handicapped and the
strike would continue.
Negroes Lyncked.
The strike resulted in numerous
clashes between strike sympathiz-
ers and the police in Chicago, and
in the lynching of negro strike
breakers at Fort Worth. Texas, and
Oklahoma City. Okla. Yesterday,
at Oklahoma City, five men, three
white and two negroes, were SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment for
their part in the lynching of Jake
Brooks, a negro strike-breaker.
In Chicago, hundreds of police
men were assigned to duty in the
back O. the yards" district, and
in the stock yards about the big
packing plants. They were With
drawn only recently.
The strike was called after a
ajority of the members of the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen of America vot-
ed in favor of it after wage re-
ductions in various packing GEN.
ters had been agreed on by plant
councils, the packing houses not
recognizing the unions, as exist
ent. but agreeing to negotiation
with committees from organiza-
tions of their own employees.
Packers Refuse Negotiation.
The question of reduced wages
came up on the expiration of the
Alschuler arbitration agreement,
under which Federal Judge Samuel
'Alschuler acted as arbiter in all
disputes. This agreement went into
effect in March, 1917, and after be-
ing extended on several occasions,
expired on Sept Is. 1921.
Following expiration of the
agreement. the union presented a
proposed agreement as a basis for
negotiations. The packers, how
ever, refused to negotiate with the
union and announced that they had
met with employees representing
their industrial relation plan"
and that these representatives had
agreed to accept a wage reduction.
Attempts to bring the represen-
tatives of the union and the pack
ers together through federal medi-
alton failed when the packers as
serted that there was no strike. so
far as they were concerned, that
their plants were operating at
normal and that they were in
agreement with the men whom
they had employed.

in the commerce of this port is the
outstanding feature of the business
situation here for the moment. I'm
ports for December were So 1000, 900
in excess of those for November.
Mineral oils and coffee showed the
greatest gains. Business through
out this portion of the south is
being held in check by unwilling
ness of merchants to make COM
mitments ahead until adjustment of
the world situation has assured
them that they. will have fewer of
the difficulties in marketing the
next crop of cotton than were ex-
perienced in the past year. Figures
of the department of agriculture
show that the crops of Louisiana
in 1921 brought producers S26,000,-
600 less than was received in 1920.
A very substantial improvement
in the banking situation through
out the state is shown by a report
of the state banking department to-
day. Deposits in city banks have
increased $11, 100000 in three

NEW YORK GETS
SNOW MACHINE
EDISON MADE
InUentior, of Forty
Years Ago to Clear
Streets.

New York, Jan. 25.-A briquet-
ting machine, invented 40 years ago
by Thomas A. Edison, to solve the
problem of snow removal from city
streets, has been turned over to the
American Society of Mechanical
Engineers for further development
and may soon be seen on New
York's streets. it is declared by
members of the society.
The invention calls for an auto
motive briquetting machine to run
along snow covered streets, scoop
up snow and turn it out in com
pressed blocks, which could be
stacked on the side of the street for
removal, OF until warm weather
came.
"WhoIIy Successful"
Mr.. Edison tried out his inven-
tion years ago and found that it
worked successfully. Owing to his
many other activities, however, he
never found time to develop his
scheme, and for this reason has
turned his invention over to the
engineers society.
THE experiments were entirely
successful" Mr.. Edison wrote the
society, but we figured that we
could have gotten much better re-
suits if We had used a larger com
pressor. l think that a competent
engineer could readily figure out
an efficient unit for this kind of
work"

his foreign citizenship, he could not

a studious clerk, was taken up by

that the ancient law still was in

According to an opinion by the

only way to regularize these mar

a bill declaring that, notwithstand-
ing the act of 1929, all marriages
performed since that time by
clergymen of recognized standing,
were to be considered legal.

WIND-UP OF
CONFERENCE
HAS BEGUN
Only Formal Jap Approx
al Needed Finally to Com
plete Naval Treaty.

Washington. Jan. 25.-tBy the
Associated Press. The work Of
the arms conference appeared to be
moving rapidly toward conclusion
today as the far eastern commit
tee, having disposed of the Siberian
question at the same time that a yir-
tual agreement was being reached
on the sole remaining issue OF the
reduction plan, met again to begin
the final wind-up of the lesser
problems. Yesterdays high speed
developments were regarded by
some of the delegates today as hav-
ing cleared the way for final ad-
journment of the conference pos
sibly within a week.
Satisfaction was expressed in
both Japanese and American quar-
ters over the outcome of the Siber-
ian discussions, which ended by
adoption in the far eastern commit
tee yesterday of a brief resolution.
proposed by Secretary Hughes, pro-
viding that the pledges given by
Japan as to the policy under which
she is retaining troops in Siberia
and the secretary's statement Of the
American position on the question
be spread on the conference books.
Pacific Question Settled.
Settlement of the Pacific fortif
cations question by substituting for
the British plan of defining a lati
uoe-and-longitude boundary for
the status quo zone, the Japanese
suggestion that the islands to which
the prohibition against further
fortification is to apply be specific
ally listed left only its formal ap-
proval in text by the Japanese gov
ernment needed finally to complete
the naval treaty The japanese
agreed that the Japanese BOnin q
group should be included under thq#e
prohibition.
Another agreement was reached
yesterday reversing the previous
informal understanding OF the dele
gates regarding the Pacific four
power treaty. and providing that it
shall not be construed as applying
TO the major Japanese islands. The
formal agreement took the form of
a series of notes, already signed and
to be formally exchanged for the
record before the Washington con
ference adjourns.

PASSAGE OF
TARIFF BILL
ISFORECAST
Predict Action on Perma-
nent Measure Before
Session Ends.

Washington. Jan. %. - Assur-
,nces that the permanent tariff bill
will be reported to the senate early
in February and passed before the
close of the present session, was
dTen Republican leaders in the
house by senate Republican leaders
,oday at q conference between the
Two.
Agreement was reached at, the
conference that the proposed SOL
der bonus bill should originate in
The house. House leaders said a
measure would be drafted at once
by the ways and means committee
and probably reported to the house
in two weeks.
Mellon Opposes Bonus.
Washington, Jan. 25.-Congres-
siOnal leaders preparing to carry
out the administration plan for a
soldier bonus bill, were analyzing
today the statement of the treas
ury's reasons for continued oppo-
stion TO the bonus as contained in
a letter from Secretary Mellon to
Chairman Fordney of the house
ways and means committee. Writ
ing to Mr.. Fordney late yesterday
in response to request for an ex-
preston of the departments views,
Secretary Mellon declared that any
attempt to provide for a bonus
through use of the principal and
interest of the foreign debt to this
country, would be futile as well as
unwise" and that an attempt to do
SO through new government Dor
rowings would be dangerous in
the extreme.
Taxation Only Way.
II there is to be bonus, how
ever, the secretary said, it must
be provided for through taxation,
and through taxation in addition to
the taxes imposed by existing law"
Estimates OF government receipts
and expenditures for the fiscal
years 1922 and 1928 showed there
would more probably" be a de-
ficit than a surplus, he said, and
there had been no allowance for
such additional expenditure as
would be involved in a soldier bon
US for the first two years.
On the most conservative esti-
mates. he said. this would prob
ably be not less than $3.50, 900 900.
