STORES
STILL DEPEND
UPON BROKERS'
Federal Trade Commission
Makes Report on Link
Merchants to Senate.

BIZ Scripps-H 0iCard Newspaper AIiGHce
WASHINGTON, Dec 23.-Chain
stores still are far from being as
independent of middlemen as the
public believes them, the federal
trade commission says in its first
report to the senate concerning the
investigation ordered last year Of
this modern business experiment.
However, the commission finds
that between 1922 and 1928 IAN APP
preciable decrease took place in de-
pendence of chains upon services of
wholesalers and there also was
slight decrease in the proportion
purchased through brokers and
commission men"
Direct purchases from manufac-
turers by chains increased from
765 per cent of total purchases in
1922, to 81.2 per cent in 1928. During
this same period purchases from
wholesalers dropped from Is to 8.5
pc. cent

Leaders Meet Support

Many states have watched the
success of the state of Ohio in COL
lecting a 2-cent levy on each pack
age of twenty cigarets and are
anxious to impose similar tariffs
This, Notwithstanding the fact that
the federal government already COL
lects cents a package of twenty
cigarets.
Trading proceeded at a desultory
pace through the first two hours of
trading. Leaders like Steel, Amer
lean Can and General Electric gen.
orally met support on recessions of
q point each, but failed to display
rallying power worthy of note.

Few Do Manufacturing

In 1890 the figure had further de-
clined to 10 per cent, though n per
cent Of the chains, particularly the
smaller ones, still patronize that
source of supply.
Thirteen per cent of all report
ing chains buy from growers organ
izations. and 7 per cent of their
merchandise is purchased from that
source.
Less than IA per cent of all re-
porting chains engage in manufac-
turing.
Different kinds OF chains vary
considerably in purchasing prac-
tees, the commission finds. It re-
ports that grocery and grocery and
meat chains purchase 20 per cent
Of their goods through brokers and
commission men, apparently be-
cause it is necessary for them to
obtain promptly large quantities of
periShable goods.
The Great Atlantic and Pacific
Tea Company and the Kroger Gro
Gerry and Baking Company have
broker organizations of their own.

EDITOR WRITES
 OF TABLOIDIA

New York, (UP)-Emile Gauv- 'reau managing editor of the New York Mirror and one of the most i'm portam forces in the develop ment of tabloid journalism in America, Is the author of nov elized expose of tabloid methods called Hot News" just published by the Macauley company.
 Gauvreau. q former New Eng land newspaperman, was given the task several years ago of starting the New York Evening Graphic, a MacFadden paper. and person. ally developed many of the sensa- tional phases of gathering and
 presenting tabloid news.
 He originated the "composo- graph"-a method of superimpos-
 Ing one picture on another to H. lustrate an event in the news when 1t was impossibl for the photo graph of the actual event to be
 taken. Gauvreau, in his book. shows how the tabloid editors make their own news when things are quiet in the newspaper world. He | presents u vivid picture of the az gressiveness and enterprise or the l editors and reporters on these papers, and of their constant, feverish fight to hold and increase | circulation. | It Is evident from the text Of Hot News" that Gauvreau was the anonymous author of the se- rial Adventures In Tabloidia'
 that appeared In a weekly national magazine recently.

MINERS WORK
 0 ID STREAMS

Portland, Ore. (UP)-The grub stakes are gone from the cities. these days. and the gold seekers are going back to the hills for their livings.
 Times were, not so long ago, when experienced miners scorned to pan n meager but steady three or five dollars day from worked. over gold streams in Oregon. In- stead, they sought "grub-stake" partners. who would buy them food. and took to the hills seeking new bonanzas. Some philosoph- teal white boards, convinced there were no more rich strikes left. en. joyed lives of ease on food bought for them by city-dwellers. who ex- pccted-but did not get--indus ous work from the men they backed.
 But in these jobless days. old timers and rank greenhorns are out working the gold beds for n | living.
 The hard-rock miners are skir.- | ing the hills and creeks for float ore to give them the clues for lodges or veins. The placer miners have rigged their sluice-b boxes on worked-over streams that still yield few dollars n day.
 All over Southern and Eastern Oregon. from the black sand work. ings on the ocean beach to the high mountains. men are work ing. not with hopes of rich strike. but for small daily clean- ups.

Shaughnessy. When he runs for re- election there is none to oppose him.
 In Wisconsin the grand jury system of indictments has been dis carded, and with 1t red tape and delay. The Milwaukee system is to obtain warrant from the district attorneys office, to arraign the de- fendant at once and to bind hitn over for immediate trial. That ,a the reason why prisoner may be tried within two days of his arrest.
 The grand jury is an outmoded institution. Milwaukee believes.
 Says Grand July Unnecessary
 Any competent prosecutor can tell at once whether crime has been committed and what the de- gree of it is," Judge Shaughnessy explains. "Then. when the charge has been made, the arraignment and trial follow at once"
 The most important factor in saving the courts time is the waiv. ing of jury trials. Any defendant, except for murder, may choose to have the judge alone try his case. Seven out of eight defendants dc this.
 Judge Shaughnessy believes that it would take fully thrice the time if all the cases before him were to be tried by juries.
