SEVENTY STRIKES IN COUNTRY ARE
 BEING MEDIATED
While Many Are Seeking Jobs Others Decide
 to Stay Idle

Washington, Nov 28- CUP)- About 70 strikes are at present oc- cupying the mediation efforts of the department of labor and the national labor board, a checkup showed today.
 The number out of work because Of the strikes cannot be estimated accurately because of constantly changing figures.
 The labor department Is dealing with AZ strikes and lockouts, in- vo1ving 11,520 workers. The nation al labor board, which has taken up 137 strikes involving an estimated 300,000 workers, and which has settled or arranged the settlement of S5. still has 22 cases pending.
 Meanwhile the government is trying to provide for the employ ment of 100000 men through the winter. -,.
 Its gigantic, s3,300,oo0, ,oOo public works fund has been allotted to the extent of $2,850,0O0,000 calling for 16,149.996 mar hours of work-or enough to keep about 100000 men busy for four months.
 As result of the program l. 100000 men already are at work, the administration estimates, 563,- 900 of them directly under the fund.
 Under the civil works program, 1t Is estimated another 100000 men will be cared for.
 Allotment of 16,000,000 man months of work by the public works administration gives an idea of what it hopes the program will do as soon as the projects get un- der way. Many of the projects have been slow in starting due to climat- ic conditions during winter, and the setting up of machinery. Varieties of state laws and slowness of state authorities also has been hin- drance.
 Among the most important of present strikes are:
 A strike of 1,500 broadsilk work CTS in Paterson, N. J.
 A strike of 500 bakery workers in Queens county, N. Y.
 A strike of about 600 boot and shoe workers in New York.
 A strike of 500 truck drivers at Springfield, Mass,
 A strike of 500 meat packers in Pittsburgh.
 A strike of 1000 taxi drivers in Philadelphia.
 A strike of 4,0OO auto body work CTS in Philadelphia.
 A stockyards strike at Chicago involving 6,000 workers.
 A strike of 1,500 meat cutters in Los Angeles.

Provisions Covering Wages and Labor Conditions
 Subject to NRA Jurisdiction, to Be Discussed

wages and other labor conditions, which will subject to the jurisdic- tion of the National Recovery Ad- ministration.
 It also lists unfair trade prac- tices which its provisions would prohibit. These practices include unethical publicity, bribery, false invoices, shipment on consignment, and ownership of any retailing es- tablishme Open prices are re- quired under the submitted code, and the industry is required to sub- init to the secretary adequate re- ports of its business transactions.
 There are provisions in the code, as submitted, for the creation of a code authority or planning and supervising committee which shall be the Council of the Wine and Spirits Importers society of the United States. This council would be empowered to make rules and regulations for the government of the industry, subject to the approv- al of the secretary of agriculture.
 Provisions for the allotment of permits to importers for bringing foreign wines and spirits into the United States, are included in the marketing agreement submitted by the industry along with the code of fair competition. The allotment would be made by a Permit Authority consisting of the secretary of agriculture or his representative, the secretary of the treasury or his representative, and a representative of the industry who is not engaged in importation of wine or spirits.
 After January l, 1894 this board would receive during the first ten days of each month, applications for permits to import wines and spirits during the following month. It would allocate the amounts of different types of wines and spirits that might be imported, and the countries from which the importa- tions might be made. Permits for such importations would be required before wines or spirits could be shipped from foreign and shipment would have to be made within 60 days of the issuance of the permit. Until January 1, 1884, the agreement provides, the secretary of agricul- ture would determine the amount of importatoin.
 The proposed marketing agree ment provides for a supervising committee of five members, chosen by the Council of the Wines and Spirits Importers society of the United States.

The announcement of General Hugh s. Johnson, national-recovery administrator, that charges of pro- fiteering under the codes and blue eagle agreements will be aired at public hearings in Washington starting December IF, has cap- tured the interest of retailers from coast to coast.
 The great majority of retailers welcome the investigation or prices because they expect the results VII reveal and bring to the attention of the buying public the fact that the retail trade, taken as whole, has not only set itself against the charging of exorbitant prices, but that retailers have been doing tnelr utmost to hold prices down to the actual minimum.
 This was disclosed today in a statement issued by the National Retail Dry Goods association. Charming P. Sweitzer, managing director of the association, declared that retailers had performed a great service to the public by foresight in making purchases while prices were low, thus enab- ling them to offer a considerable amount of stock at figures far be- low the replacement cost at the present time.
 "Even if retailers had not somewhat in advance, de- clared MT Sweitzer, "I seriously doubt whether still higher prices than those existing at the present would be found unJust1- fable; for the very nature of re- tailing excludes the possibility Of excessive prices. It is the most business in the world, and any store which would at- tempt to step up prices beyond reason would immediately ind It. self undersold on every hand by it's competitors, with the result that that store would soon find it. self bankrupt and out of business.
 "Statements criticizing retailers for unjustified prices are based on a. lack of understanding of the four basic elements which enter into increase at retail. These com prise, the processing tax, the smallest of the four; the higher MIRA manufacturing costs; the higher retail operating costs que to the MIRA; and the fact that raw commodity prices as well as finished goods at. retail prices would have risen in any event from the distress lows of last spring"
 The National Retail Dry Goods association referred to the Fair child Index of Commodity Prices which indicates that while the prices of department store articles have risen from the rockbottom average, of 69.4 in March to S6 at the beginning of October, an ad, vance of 16.6, this increase is still little more than half of the differ ence between the prices of the prosperity era and the damaging lows of last spring.
 To prove its assertion that the

advanced prices charged by retail merchants are fair and equitable, and that the whole business and industrial community is benefiting as result, the association through the division of it's controllers con- gress has made a number of ex- haustive surveys of prices charged for articles on sale in the major ity of it's member stores at the present time.
 The price of high grade pair of overalls, of the type selected by mechanics or railroadmen, was us- ed as one example. This pair of overalls which sold for $1.85 on October 1, 1929, and for $1.3O on October 1, 1892, now retails for $1.75. The costs of material on October 1, 1929, that is, yardage and fasteners, was 82 cents. A year ago on the same date the cost was Al cents, this low price reflecting the low wages in mills producing cloth and the low prices paid to cotton growers. The material on october 1, 1893 cost 78 cents, showing the improved return now gwen to mill workers and growers.
 
 l, 1929 was $.31. This fell to S.2O by October 1, 1892, the employees suffering the loss. By October 1 of this year the labor cost had risen to $.26, the employees gaining al- most half of the pay loss between the rich and lean years. Indirect labor, that is overhead, of the manufacturer, cost $.37 in 1929, the identical figure at which indi- rect costs are placed this year. But poor conditions in the industry cre- ated an overhead cost of $40 for each overall in 1892. Tn 1929 the labor cost in the retail store sell ing the overall was $.27. A year ago this had dropped to SPA, but as of October 1, 1893 the mer- chant had increased his payroll costs to $.34. The retail overhead in 1929 was $.27, it fell to S.25 in 1852, but on October l, 1883, had climbed to $.35.
 The Association noted that the retail price is $.10 lower than it was in 1929, refiecting at the pres- ent time a $.04 saving on material, a $.O5 saving on mill labor a $.O7 increase in retail payroll and an SOS increase in retail overhead, as compared with that year.
 The recent mounting sales of stores throughout the country are evidence that the public has faith that the advanced prices are justi- fled on the basis of increased costs, the Association said and the re- sultant benefits of higher prices are showing themselves in in- creased purchasing power through out the country.

ITALIAN CONSUL
 AT ROTARY CLUB
Pasquale Di CiccO Talked Upon New Italy Under
 MussOlini To-day

The new Italy and its progress under Mussolini and fascism were described today at the Rotary club luncheon by Pasquale Di Cicco, Italian consul at New Haven. He nraised the steps of the 12 years since Mussolini ascended into pow CT and predicted for the country a return of its historic and brilliant past.
 He defined fascism as a philos- ophy of life, not a philosophy Of government or politics. It's aim, he said, is to educate the masses to the knowledge of the fact that the individuals welfare should be sub- ordinated to that of the nation. Then, he continued, the individuals fortunes will be likewise bettered.
 He described modern Italy as nation of energy and youth, a country with it's eyes on the years ahead but still mindful of the glories that have been hers. In youth, he declared, is Italy's con- fidence and her hope for the fu- ture.
 He related the steps taken by Mussolini which took the govern ment-railroads out of debt, restor- ed agriculture and made Italy a land of happy and contented peo- pie. Modern progress is as great in Italy, he stated, as anywhere on the globe, whether 1t be in high ways, airways, or in rail trans portation.
 He praised Mussolini as states man par excellence, and declared that hSpe for European peace de- pends on the premier's four power peace pact. He credited Mussolini with foreseeing the depression and fixing Italy's currency to meet the crisis.

 The fight between the "extreme" Nazi German Christians and the protesting Liberals was intensified when at the last moment the Fed eral Church Council banned mass meetings called by the Liberals while thousands of persons were conyerging on the meeting halls, last night.
 Giant protest meetings had been called at the Berlin Cathedral, the Berlin Garrison church and the Friedrichshain auditorium.
 A meeting of the Federal Church Council was called with National Bishop Ludwig Mueller presiding. Bishop Joachim Hossenfelder, pres ident of the German Christian movement was vice-chairman.
