Ten Per Cent Not Excessive.

The question has been raised by some
of the onion growers regarding the 10
per cent charged by the commission mer-
chants for disposing of the onions On
the New York market. The impression
is that 10 per cent is excessive. In re-
ference to this The New York Packer
says; With regard to the 10 per cent
charge as commission for selling fresh
fruit and vegetables would say that that
is considered a fair charge. 1t is just
about right, and is the percentage that
the average commission merchant char
Res." A view from another source fol-
lows: The rate of commission named,
10 per cent, is fair and proper, but
should command excellent service in all
eastern markets. The rate of commits
sion is determined by the type of ser
vice, based on cost of operation. Mar
kets vary widely in point of facilities
for handling, snd this feature enters
largely into a merchants overhead
cost"
The most cases where less than 10
per cent is charged is when solid car
loads are sold from the tracks. requir-
ing no handling by the commission mer-
chants.

each Saturday several of its members
visit different parts Of the island to spread
their anti American prov uganda among
students of other institutions who have
reached the seventh and more advanced
grades. They also form committees for
carrying on the work in the towns visit

demonstrations in Bayamon and Cano-

hauled down from school hagstatfs and
the Porto Rican flag raised in its place.

UNIONS REPORT ISSUED.

HAZLETON. Pa. January is LP).-
Local unions throughout the anthra.
cite region today received in the mails
the report Of the miners Subscale COM
mittee. which was in conference with
the hard coal opera tors in New York.
in the futile attempt To draw up new
ge contract The report was read
at the full scale committee meeting
here on Thursday. but was withheld
from publication until ii reached the
local unions.
The report states that the operators
in the New York conference did not
change their attitude which they as
sumed on July 9 at Atlantic City,
and they persistently insisted that no
settlement that did not provide for a
continuous and permanent arbitration
OF wages and conditions would be con-
sidered.'
The refusal of the operators to join
in q petition to Congress To pass
legisla ton to regulate the industry
gave evidence that their only desire
| for arbitration is to reduce the wages
OF the mine workers and permit their
profits and prices to be regulated by
/ themselves"
AT this writing" the report says.
negotiations are off, despite every
effort of your negotiating committee
to remain In session in It's desire to
bring about an honorable settlement.
From now on we can expect that the
anthracite opera tors will continue in
their propa ganda ~intended TO de-
moraliZe our forces and create dis
! trust and dissension among our mem
bership. They have gone to every
extreme in their mad desire to di-
| vide the forces of the anthra cite mine
workers in this struggle. but our lines
remain firm and our membership Is
determined that no settlement shall
be made or will he made that is not
honorable and does not give our peo-
pie that measure of justice to which
thew are entitled"
