SEEK NEW MINT OUTLET.
Michigan Growers Form Corpora
ton to Open Retail Market.

Correspondence of The Star.
BUCHANAN, Mich.--The st. Joseph
Valley Cooperative Mint Growers AS.
ISOLATION s negotiating for the estab.
lishment in South Bend, Ind, of a
$4,000 corporation to open new re.
tail market for pure peppermint for
medicinal purposes.
William O'Keefe of Plymouth, Ind,
is considering the orga nization of a
pharmaceutical firm to prepare natu-
raj pure peppermint oil in a form to
be sold at retail purely for it's medici-
nal qualities. The association decided
to arrange with O'Keefe for the pur-
chase of stock in exchange fo j., mint.
Meanwhile the association is fur
thering plans to promote cooperative
marketing of mint in this territory,
which produces IS per cent of the
worlds mint output. The association
expects to enforce a program of COM
pulsory cooperative, handling in order
that control of the market may be
kept in the hands of the gr .wers in
stead Of spectators, who hav" reaped
large p; pitts in the past.

MAY HAVE TO TAG FISH.
Kansas Cannot Tell When Anglers
Land Private Property.

Correspondence of The Star.
KANSAS CITY, Kans.-kansas may
be obliged to tag it's fish with bells as
the result of dispute started in
Wyandotte County over State and pri.
vately owned fish.
Three men were arrested when dis
covered by two fish and game wardens
to be fishing without licenses at Camp
bells Lake, 2 miles west Of here.
The trio contends it was not vio-
lating any license law because the
lake is an artificial pond constructed
by JOSEF Campbell, and the fish pri-
vate property
But the wardens insist that the
State contributed fish to the pond in
1925, that there are still State fish or
their relatives in the pond and licenses
should be obtained

TO MEET BOSSES
Cook Raps Conference
To Boost Profits

LONDON, Dec. 21.-The General
Council of the Trade Union Congress
has accepted the invitation of group
of powerful British capitalists to
meet in joint industrial peace" con-
ference to discuss 'how capital and
labor may cooperate to increase the
competitive power of British industry
in the worlds markets" The decision
was pushed thru in spite of the pro-
test of militant minority.
Bitterly denouncing the decision of
the General Council, A. j. Cook,
Secretary of the British Miners Fed
Grafton, declared:
Aids Capitalists.
"It is the gravest decision ever
taken by the British Trade Union
movement. 1t will do more to create
dissension and disruption than any
thing the trade union movement ever
decided. l am sure nothing can come
of this conference but disappointment
for the workers and establishment
for the public.
at is folly" Cook continued, "for
the LrdQe uHlOHS 70 cooperate Will
the employers to make the capitalists
prosperous"
Enter Thomas.
The fight for the conference was
led by j. H. Thomas, conservative
leader of the Railwaymen's Union.
and Ben Turpin, new President of the
Trade Union Congress.
More than $5,000,000,000 in capital
will be represented at the conference.
The employers delegation will include
Sir Alfred Mond, chemical magnate,
Lord Aberconway, coal, iron, steel and
shipbuilding magnate; Sir Arthur
Norman, coal and steel industrialists
and number of other leading CAPT
talists.

In addition to Thomas and Turner,

Fascist Prisoner
Rejects Holiday

GENEVA, Dec. 81. - Exiled to
Sardinia for opposing the Fascist re-
gime in Italy, Leandro Petarzzini has
refused to take the Christmas holiday
offered by Mussolini to a number of
political prisoners.
Petrazzini's refusal to accept the
holiday is generally regarded as a
protest against the conditions under
which Italian political prisoners are
confined. The death rate among poll
teal prisoners exiled in Mediterranean
islands is extremely high.
A protest was recently made to the
italian Government against conditions
in the Mediterranean islands. Rela-
tives and friends are kept from COM

BANKERS PLAN TO
fire SCORES OF
MEXICO R. R. men
Workers Fight Scheme
to Meet Morgan Debts

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 21.-The po-
sitive refusal of the Convention of
Mexican National Railway Workers
delegates to consider the possibility
of wage slashes as a feature of the
retrenchment program for salvaging
the railroad lines, has brought a
sharp counter proposal from the In
ternational Committee of Bankers
now considering the reformation of
the railways in New York.
Wholesale firing and amalgamation
of railway shops with the abolition of
extra wages is the scheme now adj
vanced by the bankers. Further de-
tails are expected when the complete
reorganization plan is laid before the
Committee.
The Mexican government which is
unable to meet the payments due on
loan from J. P. Morgan and Co., has
been considering the reorganization
and sale of the roads to a combine of
Canadian financiers. The American
capitalists are reported to be con-
siderably disturbed by the Canadian
project.
An annual profit of at least $751;
100000 is necessary if the railroads
are to meet the interest and amorti-
cation charges on their indebtedness.
At present the government is faced
with a deficit of about 100000.
Director Fears Discredit.
The resignation of Bertram Hollo-
way, the managing director of the
Mexican lines, for reasons of alleged
ill-health is regarded here as the re-
suit of his conviction that the present
investigation would discredit his
management of the roads.
