Mexico's New Chief
 Confers With Labor

Atlantic City, Aug. 16.-The A. F. of L. executive council will attend the inauguration of President Gales of Mexico next December. The invita- tion was delivered personally by Pres ident-elect Gales who came to this city for the purpose of meeting the executive council At a luncheon in honor of fthe Mexican presidentelect, the visitor gave assurance that the new Mexican government would main tain the same interest in the workers cause In a short address, delivered III Spanish, President-elect Gales ex- pressed qualification because of the unity and fraternity between wage workers of the United States and his country.
 This visit is for me to embrace fraterna1ly Mr. Gompers and to salute his honorable collaborators," he said. Tt is very happy visit, and it fills me with satisfaction, and I shall carry within my soul great ideals because I understand that with the workers of Mexico and the workers of the United States united, it will be very hard for the capitalist forces of the country of whatever country to op- press my people,"

Although attended by the usual ob- jection on the part of industry, the B. hour day came into general existence, and encountered little more than ordi nary resistance However, after the chaos of the summer of 1923 the indus tries became more and more insistent that longer hours of work would be necessary if industrial operations were to continue possible. Added force was given to the contentious by the prevail ing demoralization of industry, extreme difficulty of securing raw materials credit shortage, and similar obstacles.

WORKERS LOSING 8-HOUR DAY AS JOBLESS
 TF1RONG LABOR MARKET

By International Labor News Service.
 Washington, D. C., August l6,-The 8-hour workday in Germany is disap- bearing,
 This is the conclusion of K. C. Mil Ter, assistant chief of the Western Eu- ropean Division of the United States Department of Commerce. Mr. Miller points out that the German workers have waged hard fight for the 8-hour day, but that unemployment has weak ened their resistance and they have been forced to give up the shorter Workday.
 By decrees of November 13, 1918, and March IS, 1919, the S-hour day was established in Germany" says Mir Mill Ter. who continues:

HIGHER WAGES PAID UNDER SHORT HOURS
Survey of Women in Industry Shows
 Better Conditions.

Washington, Aug. 16.-In a survey of women in New Jersey industries, just published in pamphlet form by the United States women's bureau, 1t Is stated that higher wage rates IS the tendency where shorter hours prevail.
 In 1920, it is stated, there were 295 300 women engaged in gainful oc equations in that state. This Is nearly e-quarter, or 23.9 per cent, of all the women in the state. Of the total num- Der, l11,025 were engaged in manufac- turing and mechanical industries.
 In several industries four-hfths> or more of the workers were women and in five others women constituted at least one-half of the force
 Tt is clear that the standards es tablished by these industrise for their women employees represents the dom mating conditions in number of i'm portant industries of the state,'' it Is said.
 The report combats the too-preva- lent idea that women work for wages to learn pin money"
 >"This makes strong appeal to those not thoroughly acquainted with the true situation and justify in the eyes of many people the low wages of women workers. The fallacy of this position can not be too much e11l- plasized. The average woman in in drstry, whether married or single, living at home or independently, real ly needs her earnings, frequently not only for her own support, but for that of others as we'll. It is not usual for her to be the sole support of others, although many instances of such re- sponsibility are to be found, but the average woman shares the burden of family support with others.'

from the war. However, the large num- bers of unemployed weakened the resis- tance of the workers and the decree of December 21, 1923, promulgated on January 1, 1924, and granting numerous exceptions to the 8-hour day, was the result
 Thus in a number of branches in the leading printing, metallurgical, chemi cal, and textile industries, practically prewar working hours are again in force"

By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, December 1S.-Forti-
fled by the increased authority grant
ed to them in recent months, stock
exchange officials, while unable to
prevent the manipulation of special
stocks by speculative cliques. are re-
ported to be closely watching the
trading in those issues which recent

stocks whose intrinsic worth has been
great overestimated
Nearly seven weeks of steadily ris-
ing prices, during which both the
railroad and industrial averages have
been lifted about IL points without a
break of any consequence, and almost
unheard-of developments in recent
stock exchange history naturally have
caused conservative brokers to sound
note of warning against excessive
specula tion in stocks.
While many brokers believe that
the peak of the bull movement has
not yet been reached, several recent
market letters have expressed the
opinion that the market is in tech
nical position where a decline might
be in order and that 1t is likely to
come with startling swiftness.

HOLIDAY GROCERY
TRADE BOOMING
Higher Prices This Year for
Canned GoodS-BonuS
Payments Factor.
BY j. c. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

SpecAI Dlspdtcn 10 Inc star.
! NEW YORK, December 1S-The
/ grocers are not going to be left be-
| hind in the Christmas trade process
| sion this year. They are putting up
| the front" and opening up the rear
doors in preparation for a tremen-
dous business. The grocery stores this
season have more attractive window
decorations than ever before and
their volume of business has been
spurred rather than checked by ad-
tvancing prices, necessitating~ con-
stant renewals of stocks.
One of the chief characteristics of
the season the grocers say, is the
| tendency of the housewife to buy in
smaller quantities and more of the
package goods on which the margin
of profit is excellent. The undoubted
increase in demand for canned goods
also has strengthened the grocers'
position. There was shortage of
new pack fruits and vegetables and
this caused decidedly higher prices.
Tomatoes, corn, peaches, apricots and
berries were the worst hit and pack
ers were able to deliver only 40 to so
per cent of the contracts in some
cases. Prices in consequence ad-
vanced almost to 1918 levels.
Other Foods Higher.
Dried fruits were similarly affected
and the shortage of tomatoes caused
catsup prices to advance. Spices, ex-
tracts olives, pickles and nuts have
jumped in prices, while breakfast
foods and cereals are starting up
ward in response to higher grain
prices
In the department stores all over
the country, stocks of goods, includ-
ing stocks of patience and politeness
on the part of the sales forces, are
melting away under the onslaughts
of buyers. Filling-in orders are be-
ing expedited by express and parcel
post, but the rush has been such that
many buyers have been disappointed
in certain lines. This disappointment
does not appear to have extended to
the clerks in many stores, who seem
to take a rather keen delight in an
nouncing to customers: "Oh, we quit
handling that nearly week ago.
Bonus Checks Mailed.
Distribution of cash presents and
heavy in the financial districts.
Brokers and security dealers have
had a big year, with a flood of busi-
ness at the end of lit caused by SEN
sational trading in stocks, bonds and
grain. The banks also have been
prosperous, and may be counted on to
pass around considerable sums to en-
ployes.
Checks have already been mailed

tributing those for his company, con-
sisting of per cent of their salaries,

the high executives, e. S. Phillips
of the Devoe and Reynolds Com
pany, the Oldest American maker of
paints and varnishes, said: I'VE do
not feel that a formal system of
profit sharing can W ork out with
justice. Yet we do feel that the en-
p,oyes should share to some extent
in the success or failure of their
company.
Buying has been increased and
simplified by early distribution of
Christmas savings funds totaling
many million dollars by banks all
over the country. This early dis
tribution is counted on to obviate
some of the strain and stress Of the
last week for both stores and custom
