MEAT DEARTH
REFLECTED IN
CAR LOADINCS
Livestock Shipments Decline
5495 Cars From Same

WASHINGTON, July Con-
sumerS are paying heavily for laE
years drought. A carloadings re-
port of the American Railroads
Association tells the story. For the
week ended June D, loadings OF
livestock in Western districts were
6541 cars, 5495 cars less than in the
1884 week
The drought forced farmers to
liquidate rapidly. Shipments to
market were at a peak last winter.
There are comparatively few ami
mails left for shipment to packers.
The meat shortage is reflected in
decreased carloadings.

per cent below that of a year ago,

ported. Commercial hog marketingS

predicted.
Meat Prices High
Government economists said live
stock shipments probably would re-
main small for some time to come.
Accordingly, meat prices will remain
high.
Eat something else was the
AAAs reply to complaints of high
pork prices. Economists believed.
however, that total consumer ex-
penditureS for meat would not drop
substantially.
The railroads association re-
ported that grain and grain prod
uctS loadingS totaled 1879 cars in
Western districts last week, de-
crease of 1850 cars below the COR
responding week year carrier.
This condition likewise reflects
drought damage. Only small
amounts of grain from this years
crops are moving now. Most of the
grain shipments come from the I'M
usually small crops of 1884, or from
the 1885 winter wheat crop, also
drastically reduced by drought.
Oraln LOaulngS 10 Mise
Economists said the grain carr
loading figures would increase as
soon as 1885 spring wheat begins to
move. Last years spring wheat
yield was only 91000,000 bushels,
compared to 230,000,0OO bushels in
dictated for this year.
The 1884 corn crop was the small
est in a generation. A fairly good
yield is anticipated this year. Corn
from the current crop will begin to
move in November.
Next September and October
grain carloadings should show up
favorably in relation to last year"

WORLD WHEAT
ACREAGE GAINS
Squirt of 3 Per cent Is
Indicated for Northern

WASHINGTON, July 1.-Esti-
mates of wheat acreage sown in 20
foreign countries of the Northern
Hemisphere total 194,115,OOO acres.
or about 3 per cent above 1884, the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics
reported today.
Indications pointed to reduced
wheat acreages in the Southern
Hemisphere. Scanty rainfall delayed
seeding operations in Argentina.
Similar conditions hampered wheat
sowing in Australia.
Rye acreage in 18 foreign coun-
tries was estimated to total
41812,000 acres, or about 4 per cent
over the 1884 sowings.

Planned economy would seem 10
suggest something which had been
worked over carefully. As everyone
knows. the NRA was thrown togeth-
CT IN a hurry 10 meet an emergency.
And a. that. the chief fault. aside
from the fact that 10 was unconSti-
tutional. seemed 10 be that the codes
which were established could not be
enforced. Probably a competent pO-
lice force big enough 70 catch the

THEN, too. there are greater and

years rather than a scheme to De

a fundamental factor such as credit.
which is subject 10 control. might
BE- a better way Of achieving the OBJ
jective And after that has been
mastered II might then be possible
10 take on something else.
Planned economy. as the New
Deal legislation is termed by some.
probably would not be regarded as
such BY others. In the opinion of
this department. it represents
hurried effort on the part of the
President and Congress 10 give the
public the protection TO which it is
Tightfully entitled. The speed. made
necessary BY the emergency and b.
political considerations, might be
expected 10 make for inefhciencv.
But even though some serious faults
arc found. these faults could 'ardly
be sufficient to condemn Planned
economy as undesirable or unwork-
able.
TT is 70 BE- hoped that AdOlph C.
Il Miller. veteran member OF the
Federal Reserve Board. started
something when he took occasion to
throw stones at the New York Fed
eral Reserve Bank for ITS alleged
part in the imitation which preceded
the depression.
Should a real fight develop. which
seems very unlikely. The public may
discover why The much -tOutcd Fed
cral Reserve System failed 10 func-
ton IN the first real emergency
which developed after ITS formation.
Thus far virtually all the blame fOr
the depression. in so far rs 1t was
due 10 credit conditions. has been
borne BY private commercial and in
veStment bankers. Part Of IL PROB
ably should have been lodged with
official sources.
But all the facts should be known
before new banking legislation Is en-
acted. for these facts probably would
reveal whether the weakness in the
system was due TO its makeup or its
personnel. At any rate. the public
should be advised Of the purposes of
the various actions Of such an i'm
portant governmental body.

Industrial Activity Good

Industrial productive activity as
measured by the Federal Reserve
Board has COMPOUNDED most market
forecasters this year by holding up
better than anticipated. Instead of
dropping sharply in the second
quarter to levels below so per cent
of the 1923 1925 average. the ad-
juSted index declined about one
point a month from the January
high of 80 per cent to IS per cent
in May.
we estimate the first half of
1885 10 be 5 per cent above the
same period of 1884, while the last
half should be even better. Textile
activity, cement and soft coal pro-
duction increased in May COM
pared with April, partially offsetting
other declines. Strikes curtailed
motor output"

New York, Nov. .7-(UP)-Pearl L. Bergoff, self-proclaimed king of the strike breakers. and his associates have received more than $lO,000, 900 from industrialists for breaking strikes, according to I Break Strikes" by Edward Levinson, pub lished today.
 The book goes deeply into the ac- tivities of '"The Red Demon" in the 300 labor disputes in which he has figured. Fifty-two lives have been lost in these conflicts, the book as- serts IT of them strikers, 22 pasSen- gers in trolleys driven by Bergoff aides and the rest "finks"-the trade name for strike breakers.
 Levinson, who said he had Berg off's cooperation, lists the police rec ords of more than 20 "nobles" or lieutenants sent out to break strikes. Murder, burglary, extortion and rape figure among the crimes. Two of the -'nobles" were lunatics and for one of them an alarm was out with warning to put him in a straight jacket.
 Levinson says that private com- mercial strike-breaking agencies, such as Bergoff's, are passing. The Railway Audit and Inspection com- pany which supplies spies. strike breakers, tea gas bombs and Thompson machine guns has sup planted them, according to the au- thor.
