NEW YORK, November 23.-Prices
were changed in both directions in
the markets for heavy and fine chem
icals last week, the greater number of
changes being reductions, the Oil.
Paint and Drug Reporter will say in
its November Is issue. Industrial de-
mand slackened a bit in some heavy
divisions, for no particular reason.
Shipments on the whole were well
above those of year ago.
A further advance was made in the
price of imported cresylic acid, and
the coal-tar group as a whole was
firmer. Higher prices were quoted on
bichromates of potash and soda, Ma
Mia copal, and Batavia dammar.
Prices were reduced on antimouy
metal, tin crystals, tetrachloride of
tin, imported urea, precipitated phos-
phate of lime, santonin, iron-ammonia
citrate, corn syrup, dried blood, jap
anese sardine meal, Singapore dam
mar and Batu, Hiroe, Pontianak and
other varieties Of copal.
The Reporters composite in d x
number OF prices for heavy and fine
chemicals remained. for the fourth
consecutive week, at 1850 compared
with August /, 1914, as 1000. In COM
parison with average prices in 1925
Gas 1000, the Reporters index number
is now 89.2, against SS8 at this time

STORES WILL ADD
100000 WORKERS
Many Jobs to Be Created by
Holiday Shopping, As
sociation Reports.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, November 23-The
tradition of holiday gift-giving will
spread Christmas cheer around the
circle to more than 100000 workers
who will be pressed into service in re-
tail stores throughout the country dur
ing November and December to meet
the needs of the besieging throngs Of
shoppers, according to estimates re-
ported by the National Retail Dry
Goods Association.
The trade association declared pres
ent indications were that retail stores
in the United States directly affected
by holiday buying will have furnished
employment for 10000 extra workers
by the end of November and that 37l,-
900 additional employees would be put
to work during December-a total of
approximately $4,000.
Compensation for this group of ex-
ira workers alone will bolster incomes
by minimum Of $4,000 900, it was
estimated.
In department, dry goods, general
merchandise and women's apparel and
accessory stores alone, the field cover
ed by the National Retail Dry Goods
Association, whose membership in
cludes more than $500 stores, it was
computed that the increase in en-
ployment during the Christmas sea-
son would reach a total of 1000
workers-77, 900 during November and
las, 200 more in December.
The use of large corps of extra
workers by retail stores is combined
this year with an anticipation of con-
siderable gains in sales over the pre-
vious season, according to the N. R.
D. G. A.
Estimates from various quarters" I"
it said, indicate that the 1885 Yule-
tide dollar volume will exceed that of
1884 by 10 to Is per cent and that the
Christmas business transacted across
retail counters will total approximately
s4, 500 900, ,00O."

SO per cent larger than for the holi-
day shopping period of 1884.
The general upward movement in
consumer buying, which put retail
sales throughout the nation up from
4 to IS per cent for the frs. 10 months
of the year, has been marked by a
distinct trend toward the purchase of
luxury items with greater freedom
than has been evident for four or
five years, Ozanne said retailers told
him.
"Jewelry, handbags, lamps. cutlery
glassware-gift merchandise in general
constitute the field where improve
ment has been most notable" he said.
Even with greatly increased produc-
ton, manufacturers have been unable
to keep pace with increasing demand
and there will be more than the mere
threat of getting caught in the rush
in the shop early slogan this year."

CHICAGO, November 23.-Predic-
ton of a definite shortage of better
grade gift merchandise in retail stores
by December 10 was made today by
j. R. Ozanne, marketing consultant to
the merchandise mart.
Ozanne recently returned from a
tour on which he interviewed mer-
chants in several hundred stores in an
area extending from Pittsburgh to
Kansas City and from Louisville to
Toronto.
The feeling expressed in many sta
tiStical reports that the country at

The Securities and Exchange Com
mission, including its chairman,
James NJ lands, and individual
members, Postmaster General James
M. Farley, Attorney General Homer

nary and permanent injunctions were
sought against the S. E. c. and the
Attorney General to prevent them
from seeking to enforce the law
against the company, and against
officials of the Post Office Department

| by the Associated bTeSS.
NEW YORK, November 23.-The
Commonwealth & Southern Corp. to-
day signified its intention not to reg
lister with the S. E. C. under the util-
tiles act of 1855.
The decision of the corporation was
announced in a letter to stockholders
by Wendell L. Wilkie, president. II
followed announcement by Wilkie that
the company would file bill of COM
plant in the Federal court at Will
mington. Del, seeking to prevent the
S. E. c. and other governmental
agencies from compelling the COM
pany to comply with the act.
The announcement of refusal to
register follows a similar move by
United Gas Improvement Corp. and
Consolidated Gas Co. of New York.
Commonwealth & Southern, con-
trolling operating properties in II
States, is the second largest holding
concern in point of consolidated assets
in the country.
I'VE do this In no spirit Of de-
fiance," Wilkie wrote to stockholders.
1.-THE directors, the officers and the
counsel for this corporation have re-
luctantly come to the conclusion that
to do otherwise would be to submit
voluntarily the property of the stock
holders, for whom we are trustees, to
an unconstitutional process of con-
troll and destruction"
ut has been indicated" Wilkie
continued, "that by refusing to regis
ter the corporation may incur the i'll
will of the Federal administration
and its various agencies and legisla-
tive investigating committees. The
almost unbelievably unfair attack on
this industry by the governmental
agencies and officials who are also
sponsoring the heavily subsidized Ten
nessee Valley Authority program and
who are spurring municipalities by
outright gifts of As per cent of the
cost Of distribution systems to dupli-
cate and compete with our systems,
leaves us with little hope that we
could obtain the good will of these
governmental agencies no matter what
course we took with reference to regis
tration"
wilkie told stockholders that he
had advocated before the House and
Senate Interstate Commerce Commit
tees last Spring Sane, constitutional
regulation of utility holding COM
panies." At the same time he ex-
pressed continued opposition to "all
attempts, under the false mask of reg
ulation, to destroy the property of
this corporation and jeopardize the
rights of our stockholders.
As a specific reason for refusing to
register, wilkie quoted James M. Lam
dis, chairman of the S. E. c., as say
ing in an address on September 20,
This process Of registration means
more than merely gathering informa-
ton. Out of registration springs the
mechanism of control"

VERDICT IS NEAR
IN LABOR TRIAL
Youths Deny Placing Acid
on Products of Dutch
Baker Boy, Inc.

A verdict in the trial of two youths
accused of having placed acid on
products of the Dutch Baker Boy,
Inc, during labor controversy last
December is expected IN Police Court
today.
The defendants are John L. Dorsch,
nephew and employe of Peter M.
Dorsch. owner of a large bakery here,
and James C. Merchant, also an en-
ploye of the Dorsch concern. 1t was
brought out in testimony that the
owner of the Dorsch bakery had no
knowledge of the union activities
against the Dutch Baker Boy.
Dorsch and Merchant are specific
ally charged with having placed hy-
drochloric acid on bread left at 1909
D street northeast and pie left in
an apartment house at SOL Twelfth
street northeast without the consent
Of the owner"
Followed by Two Autos.
r. o. Dowell, a driver for the Dutch
Baker Boy, a non-union concern, tes-
titled that two automobiles followed
him about his route on December 8,
and that Dorsch got out of one of
the cars at the D street address,
walked up on the porch and picked
up one of the loaves of bread left
there. Merchant, he said, went into
the Twelfth street apartment house
Becoming suspicious, he said. he re-
turned to the two places and found
i
turning them over to William H. Ed
wards, president of his concern. John
Reed, chief chemist of the Health De-
partment, made an analysis and found
8 considerable portion of the acid on
the products.
When asked if the acid would have
killed any one eating the bread or pie,
Reed replied that it would have burned
so badly upon tasting it that 1t would
not have been swallowed.
Testimony of Defendants.
The defendants testified that they
and many other members Of the local
Bakers Union went to the Dutch
Baker Boy plant the morning of De-
cember 8, and that all Of the drivers
were followed. They said the only
reason they stopped was to get the
numbers of the places at which de-
livery was made so the Woman's Aux
iliary of the union could call upon
the housewives and inform them they
we're patronizing a non-union concern.
Dorsch denied having left his car
at any time except to investigate a
loose bumper. Merchant admitted
that he had entered the apartment
house behind Dowell to see the num-
Der of the apartment at which the
delivery was made.
In explaining the difficulty he has
had with the union, Edwards testified
that his trucks have been followed
at intervals since 1892 and that for a
time his place was picketed. He as
serted that his business has not been
damaged by these activities and he
had no particular objection to the
following or picketing.
The case is before Judge John P
MacMahon and jury.
