Meat Situation

A statement on the livestock and
meat situation, issued by the Insti-
tute Of American Meat Packers, says
in part:
The month just ended closed year
which not only set record for meat
production but also, SO far as the last
decade is concerned, record for low
quotations on many meats in the
wholesale markets. These low quo
tations characterized t e tr a d e
through December and have contin-
ued in most instances down to the
present time.
The buying public has been taking
advantage of this situation and the
resulting trade has been of very large
dimensions. This is particularly true
in the case of pork products, which
have been produced in greater guam.
titles than ever before in this coun-
try, as Is indicated by the fact that
nine million more hogs were market
ed during 1923 at the leading markets
OF this country than during 1922, when
production also was relatively large

Electrical Union Forces
Bone to Quit Power Job

An investigation made by the Broth
erhood of Electrical Workers has re-
suited in the resignation of Homer r.
Bone, state legislator and prominent
in FarmerLabor circles, as attorney
for the City Transportation Company

raised by jitney and bus competition,
the power company formed the City
Transportation Company for the pur-
pose of running bus lines, and EN-
ployed Bone to prepare the papers

held until his recent resignation, ac-
cording to the findings of the labor

company on file with the state de-
partments. AS a result of these find
,ngs report has been or will be made
to William Short, president of the
State Federation of Labor.
His resignation created mild sen
sation in the ranks of the proponents
of the proposed power initiative to be
voted on in November, when he con
firmed the report in a recent speech
before the King County Democratic
Club, as it was brought out that he
held the position at the time of his
election to the state legislature as a
member of the Farmer-Labor party
from the 35th Legislative District as
a team-mate to James H. Davis, elect
ed on the Republican ticket.
