 THE PRODUCTION

New York, May 10-Physicians and industrial hygiene authorities, Ill as- sociatior with the state labor depart ment, are arranging to study hygienic conditions i'll industry. pr. w. Gilman Thompson is chairman of an organ ization formed for that purpose.
 Everywhere we see indications that both employers and workers are becoming keenly alive to the reac ton of conditions of environment upon production" said Dr. Thompson.
 There is an increasing variety of and manufactures which possess more or less toxic hazard for those who come in close contact with them. Moreover, recent scientific studies of general working conditions, such as fatigue, ventilation, and local tenn perature, have emphasized the impor- tant economic relationship which these conditions bear to output in manufacture.
 Quite recently the state, through IeglSlat1on, mas lndOrSed the pr1Hc1ple that the worker who is seriously in capacitated through the handling of poisonous substances, such as lead, for example, is just as worthy of compen- sation by his employer who has failed to protect him adequately, as if he had received some surgical accident through similar neglect to provide proper precautions against it.
 "This principle has long been rec ognized in England and in other for eign countries, and it's recent adop- ton by the state of New York has led to legislation declaring that 19 oc- cupationa1 diseases are compensab1e Theer is probability that others will be added to this list in the near fu- ture, as experience may justify"

Steel Profits Up;
 All Records Broken

New York, May 10.-In the first three months of this year the steel trust reports a net profit of more than $50,000,000, This Is the largest net of any peace-time quarter in the trusts history. In March of this year profits totaled $19,O65,475 This is at the rate of more than $57,000,00O for the quarter. These profits are after the trust set aside $13,274,972 for de- preciation.
 This attest report is the dearest refutation of the judgment of trust officials who predicted disaster to this industry if the long work day were abandoned.

In fact MT. O'Keefe, who was to be
 showed into the state chairmanship,
 nearly lost out as being a member of
 the state committee at all. He got by only by two votes In the 14 senatorial district convention and even these were protsted before the state com mittee on the charge that half dog en or more votes had been cast illegal ly and had elected O'Keefe. The committee, however, tabled the pro- test but 1t put down the attempt to slide O'Keefe in as state chairman, by which 1t was hoped to retain control of the party machinery by the Boss Cahill- -FitzGerald New Haven bunch.
 Boss Cahi1rs name was the only one to be applied on the floor when the lists of district delegates and dele gates-at-large were presented. Mem bers of the Milford delegation pro- posed the substitution Of William Hoyt of Milford in place of Boss Ca hill, claiming that Milford had been ignored and was not even called into the caucus to nominate district dele gates. The move was more to show up Boss Cahill's methods than to ac- tua11y elect MT. Hoyt as the Milford crowd knew they were hopeless1y out numbered by Boss Cahi1rs packed delegation from New Haven, but had they started it earlier 1t is now be- lieved that they could have gained sufficient support to upset Boss Ca hill as a delegate as from all over the congressional district dissatisfaction was displayed on the methods used to control the caucus. There was no op- position at all to the election of James J. Walsh of Meriden as the other delegate from the district.
 Cahi11 was one of the main shouters for an instructed delegation for Gov ernor Al Smith of New York as the presidential nominee, but in this in stance, too, his hopes were blasted be- cause his new political playmate, Mayor FitzGerald, got up and op- posed any instructions to the dele gates. Another playmate of Cahill, Fitch of Hamden, did actually offer a resolution instructing the delegation for Smith but Mayor FitzGerald op- posed it on the floor and the conven- ton turned 1t down leaving the dele gates to use their own best judgment as things develop at the national con- ventoin. The delegation will act as unit but as Cahill is only one out of 20 he cannot dominate the delegation but must go along with the crowd. Therefore his hopes of being dicta- tor over the state as we'll as New Ha- ven have gone by the board and 1t Is likely that next year Cahi1l will have all he can do to keep his grip on the city organization, so much opposition has arisen to him because of his dic- tatorial and bossy methods in depriv- ing voters of their rights of franchise in the primaries. Already in fact plans are in the works to insist on the large number of democrats now pre- vented from voting because they were

LAST EFFORTS TO REDUCE
STRAYS WITH DRIFT FENCES

The coming spring will witness the
last efforts Of the stockmen of the
Western Slope to prevent straying OF
cattle by short stretches Of drift
fences, says the Grand Junction News.
For . number of years the stockmen
have. with the aid Of the government,
erected stretches of drift fence on the
grazing grounds Of Grand Mesa. They
have kept so continuously at il that At
the present time there is but q short
stretch thru which cattle may wander
while on the range.
The subject will be one Of the most
important considerations Of the meet
ing of stockmen at Cedaredge recent
ly-. The main topic of discussion at
the meeting, however, was the attempt
OF the government to almost double
grazing fees. All cattlemen say with
out hesitation that the increase could
not possibly have come at a more in
opportune time.

issue in Salt Lake City this week
when the fact-finding commission OF

well known men as Tony Mcneil. +. D.

standing strongly for cancella,ion OF
all charges over the original est n ates
IN which government engineers placed
the net cost at siS TO SIS an acre
for Gunnison tunnel water. This cost
has risen 10 SIS an acre, and TO pay
that will, It is openly alleged, break
the settlers, who will turn the whole
thing back to the government. The
plea is that engineering mistakes,
blunders and mis-estimates caused the
gradual rise Of the cost of water per
acre and that these mistakes should
not be charged to the innocent owners
Of land, who were actually coerced in
TO agreeing to them by incompetent
and heartless engineers.

has been known to last forty years.
The specialists recommend that

hung up to dry. While still moist il
should be- Oiled with neat-foot's oil or
castor oil, or mixture of either
with wool grease. Driving belts, ma
chine belts, and other leather articles
used by the farmer will also respond
to this prcscryatiye treatment with in
creased serviccability and money will
be saved that would otherwise have

Grease the children's shoes and
waterproof the solcs so that damp

Government Contem-
plates No Raise This
Year, But Will Use
Diplomacy


tBy Theo. Kruger, Supervisor Gun
nison National Forest:)-
()-Ample opportunity will be
giving the grazing permittecs on Ma
uonal Forests. thru livestock associa-
lions or otherwise, TO study, comment
upon, or criticize the tentative ap-
praisals Of the National Forest ranges
which are now being submitted to
them. After the comments or critic
lsms of the stockmen have been re-
ceived and carefully considered, the
Forester viii recommend for the
approval of the Secretary of Agricul-
turc a new schedule of grazing fees.
t2)-This schedule will be based
upon the following considerations,
which are incorporated in new regu-
lation concerning grazing fees, framed
after consultation with representa-
tives of the livestock industry.
IA proper use of the grazing re-
sources to best serve the public in
terests.
2. Reasonable consideration of the
commercial value of the forage to the
livestock industry.
3. Effect of the rates upon the
livestock producers.
t3D-The new grazing regulations
will become effective in the season of
1924, with the exception that term
permits will not be issued until the
beginning OF the season of 1925.
t3)-Where the new schedule of
grazing fees shows that reductions in
the present rates should be made,
such reductions will be applied in full
beginning with the season of 1925.
t5)-No increase in the existing
grazing fees, which the new schedule
may call for, will be made prior to
the season of 1926.
t6)-The ten year permits issued in
the season of 1925 for range allot-
ments on which the new schedule in
dicates grazing fees higher than those
now prevailing will provide except in
the case of minor adjustments as fol-
lows:
tA)-That the prevailing fees shall
be continued without change during
the season of 1925.
tB)-That for the season of 1926,
the existing fees shall be increased to
the extent of 25 per cent of any in
creases called for by the new schedule.
tC)-That for the season of 1927,
VIC eSisNiHs ices slidll 10
the extent of so per cent of any in
creases called for by the new schedule.
D)-That for the season of 1928,
the existing fees shall be increased to
the extent of rs per cent of any in
creases called for by the new schedule.
tE)-That for the season of 1929,
the new schedule of fees will be APP
piled in full.
tF) The graduated increases will
be rounded off to the nearest cent per
month for cattle, and to the nearest
one-quarter cent per month for sheep.
(G)-The permits will provide that
the increases specified for any of the
four years, beginning with 1926. may
be waived, in whole or in part, in the
discretion of the Secretary of Agricul-
/ ture.
tD-Should there be no substantial
improvement in the business condi-
lions affecting the livestock industry
by 1926, the Forest Service will be
prepared to consider either full or
partial remission of the increased fees
provided for that year, which remis-
mission may be authorized in the dis
erection of the Secretary Of Agricul-
ture, under the terms Of the ten-year
permits.
