FORCES SEEK TO REPEAL
 RULE REQUIRING TWO-THlRDs
 VOTE AT THE CONVENTION

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-President ial politics inside the democratic par " has unexpectedly reached a climax which may make the national conyen. tlon this year sensational in history.
 Although the managers of the boom for William Gibbs McAdoo are denv- ing it to be their intention to pronose an abrogation of the wothirds rule whereby presidential candidate are no minated in the democratic convention. the workers in various states are pled- glng national committee men and com. mlttee women to vote for such a change at the meeting of the demo- cratic national convention to be held here next week.
 Unless the opposition to the Nc Adoo candidacy can rally it's forces within the next few days, the resolu- tion will be offered and passed. En- ough pledges seem to have been se-- cured to adopt the resolution, but the margin is close and may be overturn- ed. If the McAdoo forces do not find themselves with enough votes they will not propose the resolution, for 10 be defeated in such ar issue in the democratisc nationAl committee would be bad blow to the prestige of the boom itself

OFFICIAL ALE FASTER IS DEAD; WONDER HOW
 MANY WANT HIS JOB

TWINCKENHAM, Eng, Feb. l. The official ale taster to the Duke of Northumberland, Frederick Stuckley, of Sion Manor, Isleworth, is dead Tn the good old days when English ale was real ale, pungent, rich in color and possessing kick unobtainable from any of the lighter, frothy brews at one time familiar in America ma ny Englishmen considered the ducal ale taster the most fortunate man in the Kings realm.
 He had the authority to enter a public house, call for beer, taste it., and condemn it if not of good qual- ity. In recent years, however, he had not taken advantages of his off cial position.
 The office of ale taster extends back to the timewhen the Saxons ruled in England. The injunction to the off cial on assuming his duties was as follows:
 You shall swear that you shall well and truly serve the kings majesty and theLord of his Leet in the office of the ale taster.
 You shall have diligent care dur ing thetime of your being in office to all the brewers and tipplers within your office that they and every one of them do make good and wholesome ale and beer for mans body, and that the same besole according to the pri- ces limited and appointed by the Kings Justices of the Peace.''

c. $. Reserue Board Reuie1us Economic Conditions for tue
 Past 7WeLue Months

Washington, Jan. 5.-The Ameri- can people produced more, spent more and saved more i'll 1923 than i'll 1922, the federal reserve board said this week in its annual review of eco- homie conditions for the year just closed
 As a whole. the review said, the year was characterized by the large industrial output, practically full em- ployment, a sustained customers de mand for goods, and level ot prices more stable than in any year since 1915.
 Tracing the course of business de- velopment, the board found that the peak of the output was reached in May. There followed a recession in industrial activity during the summer months which, the board said, arose more from "a hesitancy of business concerns in placing forward orders than from a lessened demand on the part of ultimate consumers" The price declines which accompanied the condition were, therefore, chiefly in materials used in industry rather than in consumers goods.

STEEL co. HEAD SAYS SHORT DAY
 IS BIG BENEFIT
Bethlehem President Declares Soon All His Employees Will Be
 On Eight Hours.

Eugene G. Grace, president, Beth lehem Steel Company, authorizes the following statement of the elimination of the I2-hour day in the steel in dustry. He says:
 "The I2-hour day has now been practically eliminated from our steel plants. Entering the year of 1924 less of steel plant employees will be work ing over 10 hours per day, and the hours of these employees will be changed as soon as operating con- ditions will warrant.
 "The changes in hours and wage rates occasioned by the elimination of the I2 hour day were started Tn the middle of August, and the satisfactory progress that has been made in this important development has been due to a great extent to the earnest ef- forts which our employees have made, through the Employees Representa- ton Plan, to assist us i'll the solution of the many anticipated problems arising out of such a vital1y import ant change of long standing prac- tice.
 "The fact that we have not been under constant pressure for full capacity production since the changes were begun has been a very helpful factor in accomplishing the elinina- ton of the I2 hour day, but this con dition also makes it difficult to antici- pate what the ultimate economic ef- fects of this change will be. While this change requires many employees to work more intensively on the shorter day, we have never had a better spirit among our employees, and I feel that the additional leisure time afforded them will prove socially and industria11y beneficial

WELTERWEICHT
 CHAMP WINS FALL
 ON COMPENSATION
Court Upholds Commissioners Rul- ing That He Get $Io.35 For
 $40 Weeks.

The welterweight champion Wrest- Ter of New England has been laid low these many weeks as the result of a curious injury, but the Connecticut workmen's compensation act came ot his rescue and now that the cham pion wrestler Is mentally deranged Judge Maltbie of the superior court Is not going to let the payments be taken away from him.
 It is the case of F. Ivan Benjamin of Plainville, who wrestled the last professional match August 25, 1923. When he was not wrestling, BenJa- min worked for the Fafnir Bearing company in New Britain and one day he suffered a strain and dislocatlon of his arm. It was bothersome thing and he went to several noted home doctors, and under voluntary agreement his employers paid hum $Io.35 week.
 Benjamin has a plucly wife but he still needed the payments when the company thought they ought to cease, so the matter was taken to he com pensaion commissioner who ordered them continued until Benjamin's con dition improved He iran down" and had a few attacks of violent hyster1a, and especially after he had obtained a job at the Bristol Brass company factory and then told his wife he re- alized his condition was not good enough so that he could hold it. The man has brooded over this and be- come mentally deranged.
 The compensation Commissioner subsequently, found that Benjamln's s hysterical condition and mental de- rangement were the result of his in jury and he ordered the $Io35 week paid, but not longr than 52o weeks.
 The Fafnir Bearing company and it's insurer appealed to the superior court mainly on the ground that hte commissioner erred in connecting the mans present condition with the in- jury to his arm. JudgeMaltbie dis misses the appeal.

Estimates in Agriculture.

In agriculture the final estimates for the year indicate physical vol tune of production larger than the year before and at the prevailing level of farm prices the total value of the years crops IS about I2 per cent. above that of 1922. Further more, larger proportion of farm in come was, available for current ex, penditure since less of the income than in preceding years was used 1T the payment of loans, sales of mai order houses, representing chiefly purchases in rural communities, in. creased by 3I per cent. in 1923.
 The recovery of agriculture, how ever, is still incomplete particularly in the wheat and livestock industries and the usual business growth of the year has been chiefly in the industria sections. It is the demand on the party of industrial workers which even with the increased foreign de mand, has resulted in a better mar ket for agricultural products.
 Houses and Cars in Demand.
 ''In addition to the large purchases of goods for immediate consumption there was also an exceptionally heavy demand for houses and automobiles as indicated by the growth in the construction of buildings and the manufacture of motor cars. The au- tomobile output of the year will total nearly 100000, an increase of more than 50 per cent. over 1922.
 "The building activity which had been at high level during 1922 reached a maximum in the spring of 1923, and then slackened somewhat owing to the rapid advance in wages and in prices of materials. With the sub sequent decline in construction costs activity was renewed and for the eleven months ending in November contracts awarded tota1ed more than for the corresponding months of 1922.
 Building operations on consider able scale were general throughout the country and residential building not only increased more rapidly than construction for business and indus trial purposes but constituted larger proportion of the total than in the four previous years. The large vol ume of construction not only led to increased production of building ma terials but also resulted in larger sales of furniture and other household goods and was an important factor in the demand in many lines of trade
