Returning Farms to Wilderness.
(New York Herald Tribune.)


 The Presidents Committee Wild Life Restora- ton has drawn up plan for the protection of our wild life which lends purpose to the policy of withdrawing marginal lands from cultivation. The committee says in effect to those officials who are seeking to reduce the acreage under cultivation Give us the pick of the lands which you acquire from the farmer that may give them to the ducks and geese and bears and coyotes and even to the song birds" More formally the committee asks the President to turn $25,000000 ($50000- 900 If possibe) to be used for the purchase and de- veopment tof farm and range lands as game pre- serves Most of the projects approved by the com mittee have to do with migratory waterfowl, as lthese have suffered most as the result of the in cursion of farms into regions where they fed Unprofitably drained marshes are to be turned back to their original condition Ranges which have been overgrazed are to be withdrawn from com mercal purposes. Streams to be damned, and suitable haunts for bird and beast to be man- itained involate.
 The desirabity of providing more breeding grounds and sanctuaries for wild life is SO well recognized to need elaboration Particularly interesting among the commissions recommendations | is the appointment of So-caled Restoration Commissioner" to have charge of co-ordinating the work of conservation and restoration. At present ture, Interior and Commerce Obviously any plan so extensive that which the commission has out | lined needs close supervision by expert, and freedom from the paralyzng restrictions of inter- departmental jealousy

A CHEERING PICTURE.

The picture of recovering industry, strengthen ing finance and a confident and prosperous people presented by MT. B. M Behrends on his return here from extended trip throughout, the country is cheering And it is all the stronger because he is trained banker and successful and experienced business executive rather than po- tician or other special peader whose own bias or prejudice might color tss judgment. His well known conservative viewpoint adds weight to his words.
 The great changes he noted all occurred in single year. Between February 1883 and February 1884 doubt fear and dispar have given way to confidence hope and activity. Business continues to gain. More people are finding employment. Banks are in the soundest position in a decade or more The country, MT. Behrends said, is definitely the road to recovery.
 While he did not state, believe he would subscribe to the statement that all of this has resulted from the great leadership of President Roosevelt, whose first year in office ended few days ago No finer more courageous or more en- frightened leadership has been given to this country in any hour of need We look forward to the next few years under it with confidence that we shall reach heights of a and more generally distributed prosperity that will be felt by all Americans that has never been attained before in the country's history.

AMERICAN-BRITIsH SHIPPING.

The New York Evening Post in a recent copy righted article claims that the Leviathan, largest liner in the world, Is being allowed to rot at a Hoboken pier where she sent in order to remove "a menace to British shipping" The Post further claims the Leviathan has been abandoned by her owners, the International Mercantile Marine, to a feast of the clements and that lack of care has inflicted $1 100000 damage her.
 The docking of the Leviathan" the article says marks one of the closing chapter in chain of intricate and astounding moves whereby high-pow- cred finance the British Government and the Unit ed States Shipping Board have wrecked the Am erican merchane marine"
 The Post goes back to 1902, when, it says Perpont Morgan the elder organized the Interna- tional Mercantile Marine, a combination of seven British merchant lines under American holding company. The Post calls this "a clever scheme first to pour American funds into English shipping interests all the time actually to protect British chipping interests from American aggression"
 After the World War, the paper continues the

 Continuing, the Post declared:
 Then things began to happen.

APPLIED RESEARCH.

company marketing sea-food products has adapted results of recent scientific study of the effects of light the development of rancidity in oil-bearing foods. Chemists of the United States Department of Agriculture found that glass or paper containers of grass green color cut off the light rays that hasten rancidity Fish products are usually more less oily, and this company has adopted a green parchment cover which it is anticipated will help preserve the flavor of the product
 The findings of scientists in public employ are public property, but the sea-food company is re- ported to have thought so highly of the improved package that it obtained agreement from the manufacturers of the parchment paper not to sell the same shade to any competitor.

 MT. and Mrs. c. E. Carpenter re- turned to Juneau on the Admiral Evans after several weeks travel in the States They said they were delighted to be home again.
 Members of the Juneau Demo- cratic Club were to meet the fol- lowing evening in the Gross Hall. It was the regular monthly meet ing of the club, but owing to the phenominal growth of the organ ization, the club rooms had become too small and it was necessary to hold meetings in larger place.
 The contract for construction of an apartment house on the cor ner of Ninth Street and Calhoun Avenue for John Reck, had been let the previous day to George B. Dull and G. Halverson, well known contractors.
 Weather for the previous 24 hours had been cloudy with rain. The maximum temperature was AZ degrees and the minimum was 33. Precipitation had been 08 inches.
 R. H. Chadwick, well known commercial man, travelling out of Juneau, almost went to Skagway on the Jefferson His grips and choice samples had gone. He had carefully placed them aboard in ample time and noticing that the sailing hour was marked 5:30 o'clock, hurried uptown to do an errand, but he had failed to ob- serve that the warning said ships time.'
 There was to be meeting of Juneau business men in the office of B. L. Thane in the evening to discuss plans and organization for the coming 1914 season of baseball 1 in Juneau. All interested were | invited to attend.

WHERE 1T PAYS TO
BE in UNION

Ottawa (ILNS)-In Toronto where
labor unions exercise considerable in
fiuence, average wages Of workers in
packing houses are about twice the
average in Hull, Quebec. In the Can
ada Packers, Ltd, plant in the latter
city wages of II per cent Of the en-
ployes are $7.20 for a week of 4S
hours.
The manager of the Swift Packing
Co. told a parliamentary committee
there was no agreement among the
packers to keep down prices paid
farmers. 1t was brought out that by
a coincidence the various packing
companies took turns weekly buying
hogs and cattle. 1t was also shown
that during the depression years the
packing companies have been making
the biggest profits in their history.

In Milwaukee Win RecOgni.
ton of Union

Milwaukee, Wis.-The persuasive
influence of strong and militant labor
organization in securing the rights of
the workers was clearly shown here in
the strike of the molders and foundry
employees at the Crucible Steel Cast
ing Company's plant. The strike in
volving more than 200 members of
the Molders' and Foundry Employees
Unions, started after the company
had refused to deal with representa-
tives of these unions.
It tied up the plant and company
officials signified their willingness to
deal with the union representatives.
After two conferences a settlement
was reached and the strikers returned
to work. The strike lasted one day.
The settlement includes recognition
of a collective bargaining committee
representing Local No. sc of the
Foundry Employees Union and Local
No. 125 Of the Molders' Union; time
and one-half for overtime and adjust
ment Of shop conditions through con-
ferences with the committee.
No wage increase was involved. The
workers made no demands for an in
crease in their attempts to negotiate
with the company before the strike
but after the strike was voted they
added a demand for a 20 per cent in
crease. When the company signified
it's willingness to grant the original
demands of the union they waived
their wage demand.

TWENTY MILLION
Are on Relief, Says Mayors
Conference Official

New Orleans (ILNS)-Paul v. Bet
ters, executive secretary of the United
States Conference of Mayors while
here comforting with Mayor T. Sem
mes Walmaley, said "There are more
people on relief today than there were
during the worst days of the depres-
sion.. We estimate that there are
4,700,000 families, or approximately
100000 persons, who are on relief.
Some long-term measure must be
placed in effect to take care of these
people before congress adjourns. If
nothing is done by the federal govern
ment, at least one-haf Of the cities
in America are going bankrupt.
''The second problem involves the
NRA. Under the codes there is appar-
ent collusion on bids of concerns to
cities for supplies and other necessi-
ties. / have just completed survey
of 800 large cities which indicates
that since the codes have been in
effect the cities have paid $140,000,000
more for materials than they did in
the previous year. This inevitably
means increases in municipal taxes.
We plan to submit the facts to the
president with a proposal that cities
be exempted from this feature of
codes. 1t was never contemplated that
the codes would result in collusion in
bids on municipal supplies.
''The third problem involves the
PWA. We plan to campaign to have
congress allot additional funds to the
PWA in order that numerous excel
lent projects now held up because of
insufficient funds can be finished New
Orleans has applications pending for
PWA funds, as have various other
cities, and if these works are to be
accomplished, there must be an allo-
cation of additional PWA funds"

New York City (ILNS)-Since
1920, railroad labor has been cut in
half and the railroad labor problem
is "most serious and difficult" JOS
eph B. Eastman, federal co-ordinator
of transportation, declared in an ad-
dress to the New York Bond Club.
"Our business and financial leaders
cannot with any wisdom ignore the
problem" Eastman said, "for unless
it is solved, they will sooner or later
suffer with all the rest" He reminded
the club members that faithful work
ers cannot be cast off like a worm
out garment, and that steps must be
taken to alleviate the situation caused
by the dismissal of employees due to
railroad economies.
In addition to outright loss of jobs,
railroad men have suffered very
severely from demotions, part time
and furloughs, Eastman said.
Economies Mean Fewer Jobs
Railroad economies are very large
ly labor-saving Devices" Eastman
continued, "and any program of
greater economy in operation for the
future inevitably means, at least at
the outset, less railroad employment
1t is easy for US, who are safely re-
moved from the field of operation, to
give little thought to the acute suffer
ing and hardship which such pro-
grams may bring to individuals and
even entire communities, but you may
be sure that these results are not
overlooked by those who have to en-
dure them.
"It is a very difficult problem to
work out. With the railroad situa-
ton as it is, and the competition
which is found on every hand, the con-
clusion cannot be escaped that the
railroads must for their own saliva
tion be able to furnish the best posi-
BILE service at the lowest possible cost
In the long run this is just as essen
tial fo- the employees as for the COM
panies. On the other hand, it is
neither fair nor humane to cast off
faithful workers like worn-out gar
ment.
"Much can be done to alleviate the
situation through retirement annui-
ties, unemployment benefits, place
ment services, and dismissal wages
under certain conditions, and we are
endeavoring and hope to work out
practical plans along these lines which
can be made effective without hating
or unduly penalizing progress.
All Industry Affected
However, the problem is in reality
much broader one than that, and il
extends over the entire field of indus
try. There is no sound reason why
more labor should be used in produc-
ton than is necessary. Nor have we

Roosevelt Signs Long
Work Week Bakery Code
40 to 48 Hours Fixed Despite Millions of JobessLower
Wages for South-Labor Barred from Code Authority

One redeeming feature in the code
is the protection it undertakes to give
workers whose wages are above the
minimum. The code provides: "No
employe whose normal full time
weekly hours averaged over the four
weeks ending June 10, 1888, are as a
result Of the adoption of this code
reduced by 162s per cent or less shall
have his or her full time weekly earn
ings reduced; and any employe whose
said normal full-time weekly hours
are so reduced by more than 162s
per cent shall have his or her hourly
pay increased by at least 20 per cent. "
This provision does not apply to those
receiving $35 week or more; for
such workers the code demands an
Equitable adjustment" of rates.
All of the wages and hours provi-
sions Of the code will be administer
ed by the National Bakers Council,
whose members from the time the
code was proposed and submitted to
the recovery administration, persist
emily fought for long hours, low
wages and oppressive work conditions

Washington.-The hope of organ
lied labor that the length Of the
maximum workweek in coded indus
tries would be reduced to provide
work for some of the jobless army
numbering 100000, was again de-
flated by the code for the bakery in
dustry signed by President Roosevelt.
Employers operating $4,000 bakeries
reaching into almost every commu-
nifty are permitted to work their en-
ployes 40 hours per week in mechan-
lied shops and 48 hours in handicraft
shops.
The wage rates reflect the re-
dictionary cost-of- living theory by be-
ing graded according to the popula-
ton Of cities in which bakeries are
located. For clerical employees the
minimum is $14 week in cities un-
der 250,O00; SIS in cities between
250,0O0 and 100000, and SIG in larger
cities. Statesmen are guaranteed $18,
$40, or $22 week depending on pop
ulation. The minimum for other en-
ployes is 40 cents an hour with the
exception Of icers, wrappers and
cleaners, for whom the minimum is
so cents an hour. In the South en-
ployers are permitted to reduce these
minimums 81 per week or cents per
1o,1y.

DISCHARGED
Union Men Gets Support OF
Labor Board

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-The
National Labor Board has ruled that
seven employees of the Birtman Elec-
trio Company, Chicago, alleged to
have been Disseminated against by
their discharge October II, 1888, the
day after collective bargaining con-
ference with company officials, should
be reinstated to their former posi-
tions.
The case was referred to the Ma
tional Labor Board following failure
of the company to comply with the
Chicago Regional Labor Boards de-
cision directing reinstatement of cer-
tain men. The Chicago Board heard
the case March 90.
The National Labor Board said, in
part:
"The sudden discharge of employees
of long standing, who are members
of an organization which attempted
on the previous day to bargain col
lectively with their employer, is GER
tain to have discouraging effect on
the self-organization, both present
and future, of the employees who re-
main with the company. The Brit
man Electric Company, which is now
operating under the code of fair COM
petition for the vacuum cleaner in
dustry, can best nullify the continued
effect Of its action by reinstating the
complaining employees"
