FEATURES
THE GENERAL STRIKE

It comes as something of a shock to
the people of California to realize that
a condition such as exists at San Fran
cisco today, actually could happen.
What started as a labor dispute be-
tween longshoremen and their shipown-
ing employers, has spread until now in
dustry of all kinds is at a standstlll, due
to sympathetic walkouts by union labor
ers of branches in an effort to enable the
longshoremen to gain their point.
Transportation of all ordinary kinds
has ceased, businesses are closed, l9 res
taurants are permitted to remain open,
"by permission of the strikers general
committee" stocks of food are running
low and 1000 state militiamen are on
guard to maintain order and protect
lives and property.
Where it will end nobody can tell at
this writing The general public can
only hope that some sort of an agreement
will be reached soon. What is transpir-
ing there has passed beyond the strike
phase and has really become a civil war
in miniature.
1t is impossible to put the blame on
any group. with any degree of certainty.
The workingmen charge the shipowners
with bad faith and the shipowners re-
turn the accusation. Efforts of several
neutral bodies to bring about a settle
ment have failed miserably. That radi-
Gals have had an important part in strike
deliberations is also charged.
An appeal has been made to President
Roosevelt, to interrupt his present vaca-
ton sufficiently long to visit San Fran
cisco and lend his efforts to ending the
trouble. 1t seems childish to break into
the rest of a man who has worked as
hard as the President has and it certain
ly is a reflection on the ability of some
of his subordinates that they could not
halt the trouble before it got to the point
where his personal efforts at peace are
deemed necessary.
The general strike will be costly, not
only to San Francisco and the bay area,
but to the entire state. 1t is an artifi-
cial trouble that should have no place in
the affairs of thinking men. 1t is some
thing that millions of Californians will
resent.

Roosevelt Orders Transfer
From Commerce to In

Completing transfer which was an
nounced several months ago, Presi-
dent Roosevelt yesterday signed an
executive order shifting the Bureau
of Mines back to the Interior Depart
ment from the Department of Com
merce.
The change has been under con-
sideration since last June, when the
President issued his general reorgan-

direction of Scott Turner, was trans
ferred physically from the Commerce
Building when Gen. Hugh S. Johnson
moved in to set up the National Re-
covery Administration.
At that time the Offices were estab-
lished in the Interior Building, but
after a few weeks were transferred
again to one of the temporary build
ings on F street between Eighteenth
and Nineteenth streets.
Meanwhile, however, the appropri-
alton for the Bureau of Mines re-
manned in the Commerce Department
budget and the new order will effect
the transfer of funds to Interior.

of the late Melvin A. Traylor, filed
in Probate Court, left all personal and
household effects to the widow, Mrs.
Dorothy Y. Traylor, and left legacies
to his brothers and sisters.
After the payment of the bequests,

was president, as trustee. Income
from the trust fund, after provision
for Mrs. Traylor's father and two
children and sister, is given the
widow for life.
At her death the trust fund is to be
divided into two equal parts for the
benefit of Nancy F. Traylor and Mel
vim A. Traylor, jr., the children. In
the event they leave no children, the
trustee is directed to distribute $50
600 to Mr.. Traylor's brothers and sis

the remainder is to be designated as
a perpetual trust, the net income of
which is to go to Northwestern Uni

1T is not the policy Of the admin

farmers have felt that by their own
efforts they could get prices higher
than we felt We could enforce by
law, we have urged them to make the
undertaking on their own initiative.
But if the Federal Government
assumes responsibility for enforcement
by law of farm price for fluid milk,
the Government must first establish
that such a price is reasonably CO.

Charging that they acted in COM
bination to control meat prices, Sec
retary of Agriculture Wallace yester-
day filed complaint against 10 meat
packing companies. The hearing will
be held in jackson, Miss, April 9.
The companies named were:
Armour & Co., Swift & Co., Wilson
g. Co., Morris g. Co., the St. Louis
Independent Packing Co.. Abraham
Brothers Packing Co., Cudahy Pack
ing Co., Jacob Gold Packing Co.,
John Morrell g. Co. and the
Memphis Packing Corporation. On
behalf of the Swift Co., Harold H.
Swift in Chicago denied the charge,
The charge was filed by the Sec
retary under authority of the packers
and stockyards act prohibiting unfair
trade practices, which also gives the
Secretary power to institute proceed
ings and compel packers to submit
evidence.
The companies have been allowed
until March "a to file answers.
The complaint charged that of the
10 packers furnished to the others
advance information on prices OF
meat and meat food products. 1t also
charged they apportioned sales and
sought to keep out competition.
This practice, the complaint stated.
was to enable these companies to
give unreasonable preference to GER
tain purchases of meat and meat
products, to give preferences to GER
tain localities, to discriminate un-
justly between certain persons and to
manipulate prices.
Seth Thomas, solicitor for the De-
partment of Agriculture, said the &C
ton concerned the activities of the
packers in the Southern States, chief
ly in the region South of Memphis
He added that complaints of similar
practices had been received from
points as far North as Pennsylvania

so buyers acted accordingly. High
qualified, but not strictly finished
yearlings reached 7.35 at Chicago and
1,183-pound long yearlings sold rela-
lively close at 6.85, recent discrimina-
ton IN this respect having once more
disappeared. At the same market,
however, heavy steers could not beat
$50, and only few loads sold above
$50, in fact.
Long-fed 1.400-1.70O pound steers
brought 4.00a4.50 at various centers
and were hard to move at these
figures.

She stock advanced even more than
steers, Government buying being q
strong factor Of support. This order,
calling for approximately $500 cutter
COWS each day, practically drained the
supply of thin cows available. Every
thing moved up, but low cutters
showed maximum gains because they
could be utilized on Government ac-
count, while fat COWS could not. In
instances very thin Holstein COWS sold
50a75 higher than late last week, when
the original Government order ran
out and a new one was promptly re-
instated. Strong-weight cutters ad-
vanced to BIS at Chicago, killers get

day at Buffalo, 150-240-pound weights
selling freely at 5.25. The practical
top for the four-day period at Chi
cago was 4.85.
Early in the week wooled lambs
reached 975 at Chicago, new high
since 1881. At the close, however.
nothing sold above $50 at the same
point and 900 represented the out
side at Denver. Sheep maintained a
higher price trend in the face of the
reaction in lambs.
