Business Notes

NEW YORK, September 12.-Recur-
i renee of hot weather served TO re-
strict the volume of consumer pur-
chasing of new Fall merchandise. re-
tail executives in New York report.
Improvement was shown in sales i'm
mediately after Labor day. but the
rise in temperature toward the week
/ end cut down the expanding volume.
In view of the comparatively Door
trade in the week preceding Labor day.
it was estimated that dollar volume
for the half-month period will tend
to run close to 10 per cent below fig
ures for the corresponding period of
1890.
Official adoption of 40 factory pre-
packing standard containers was an
, nounced by the Factory Prepacking
Committee of the Retail Dry Goods
Association of New York. The contain
ers will be used in prepacking of
household furnishings and other mer-
chandise subject 20 such handling at
the factory.
The retarded pace with which Fall
business is dey clipping in number of
lines. including apparel, accessories
and home furnishings was held in the
trade to emphasize the need of great
variety of new effects If trade is to be
stimulated during the latter part of
the season. Despite the current SLOW
ness, the new styles haze impaired to
business in department-store lines a
certain amount of momentum.
Retail trade in mems wear was ex-
tremely spotty during the week. with
the warm weather hampering sales of
Fall goods in many stores, but with
the low prices featured by some re-
tailers attracting a class of customers
which had refrained from buying in
these establishments previously because
they thought prices we're too high
These low-end purchases enabled such
stores to maintain, and in few cases,
to exceed last years volume.

Employees Want U. S. Scale.
The employees position is summed up
in the following:
"l-They urged that increases or
decreases in the cost of living are not
the essential or determining factors in
justitying an upward or DOWNWARD
scale of wages
"2-They contended that Canadian
railroad men should receive the same
wage rates as similarly classed employees,
with whom they are closely related, on
the American side Of the international
boundary;
"3-They criticized the accuracy OF
the deductions drawn by the railways
from the cost of living figures used by
them, and furnished the board with an
estimate Of decreases in cost of living
prepared in different way. THY
further urgei thft they have already
suffered in practical effect serious dc-
Greece in earning, and using the rail-
roads own measuring stick, a decrease
greater than the reduction in cost OF
living g
"As regards their FIRST contention, we
are of the opinion that while, Of course
there are other important factors TO be
considered, changes in the cost OF liv-
ing are an important factor In the ar
ranging Of ratesof pay"

He said distinct shortage Of water

board is expected, the report stated.
Loss in Revenues Cited.
In the majority report the chairman
and the companies member review the
proceedings Of the inquiry which was
held in Montreal November 16 to 26.
The report crystallizes the case for the
railway companies In two paragraphs:
81. The unfortunate and serious
financial condition with which the
railways are faced because of the heavy
and long continued falling off in their
revenues, and
20. The reduction in the cost of liv-
ing, from which they urged that the
employees, even with a reduction of 10
per cent, would be in a better position
in respect to the purchasing power of
their rates CT pay than iii 1920. when
wages were at their peak, or even than

Canadian National Has Deficit.
The report stresses the contention of
the railways that "if IL is admitted that
under certain changing conditions, as,
for instance, increases IN cost of living
and increases in railway earnings, in
cresses in rates Of pay are Justified
and this is admitted, as evidence to be
placed before the board will show such
increases to have been granted--it is
submitted that If such changing condi-
tions are altogether reversed 1t must
likewise be admitted that decrease in
rates OF pay upon occasion are also
justified"
The financial condition of both the
Canadian National Railway and the
Canadian Pacific Railwy are reviewed.
It's shown that for the nine months
of the present calendar year the c. N.
r has an income deficit of $40 ,95e. .78l,

TNRAVERS led the way through
Il the station and his wife fol-
lowed beside Norma. Mrs. Travers
said as they stepped out on the
sidewalk, Harvey has the car
over at the right"
Everything before Norma was
blur. She followed Mrs. Travers
into the limousine. She sat close
to the window and stared out at
the street.
There were men and women pass
ing. Taxicabs and trucks and other
vehicles. The whole scene before
the girls eyes became a meaning
less haze.
She tried to wink back the tears,
but they persisted.
Her father-in-law was saying
something to his wife. Norma did
not hear what it was. Then she
was aware that they were moving
away from the station.
Somewhere in the distance, train
wheels turned faster and faster
carrying Mark away from her.
Mark was gonel There had been
that last moment when she had
seen him smiling back at her from
the car platform. Waving and smil-
ing
Now he was gone and she would
not see him for five weeks. Five
weeks-it seemed endless, impos-
Sible!
Norma clutched her hands to-
gether tightly. She could not cry
out now. She could not give way
and sob out the terror in her heart.
She only could sit there gripping
her icy fingers, telling herself over
and over that she must manage to
keep from breaking down before
these strangers. Yes, they were
strangers and they hated her.
The girls lips became a tightly
pressed line of crimson, struggling
to steady itself, but frequently
trembling.
Mark was moving farther away
every. minute. Nearer and nearer
