DANNY BEAVER HELPS Mr.. FOX.

Mr.. Fox was pretty angry with Mr..
Coon and he wanted TO get him out OF
his neighborhood.
The reason was that Mr.. Coon was
interfering with Mr.. Fox's poultry busi-
ness, for unlike Mr. Fox, Mr.. Coon
does not use wisdom about visiting the
farmvards and goes back night after
night until the Farmer sets a trap for
him or he gets Mr. Dog 10 catch him.

Secretary Wallace, following his

which prohibits the packers from
engaging in any course of manipu-

restraining commerce or creating
a monopoly. He expressed no opin-

sideration of Armour's proposal.
There would be no immunity con-

was brought up two years ago he
favored an investigation by the

Southern Pacific Decision
Definitely Establishes
Position, Belief.
FOREMEN GRANTED
PA YFOR OVERTIME
Victory for Workers in
Alton Wage Case Is
Now Forecast.

CHICAGO, Nov. T5.-In a decision
believed to be significant as to the
Railroad Labor Boards attitude to-
ward the eight-hour day. the board
today ruled that foremen of main
tenance of way men ana shop la
borers on the Southern Pacific sys-
tenn must be paid for ove-.imc on
a pro rata basis when the men
under them are required to work
more than eight hours.
This decision is believed 10
strengthen the basic cight-hour day
for railroad labor. Foremen are
paid by the month ana the South
ern Pacific contended that they did
not come under the pro rata over
time rules applying to the MAIN
tenance men. Former President
Edward F. Cradle. of the Mainte-
nance Union. protested the South
ern Pacific's stand and the case
was argued before the board In
August
The board also held that the men
must be paid for the time taken
in arriving at and returning from
the point of actual work.
The boards latest decision awak-
ened more than ordinary interest
because of the pending petition of
the Chicago, and Alton for abolitioa
of punitive overtime for yard and
train service employees. which has
been bitterly attacked by labor
leaders as an attempt to abolish
the eight-hour day on the railroads.
While opinion differs as to the
union claim that the Alton was
selected to begin a general drive
against the eight-hour day. today's
board ruling is interpreted in some
quarters as an indication of what
the board intends to do in the AL
ton case.
