MEAT PACKERS
BEFUDDLED BY
TAX SQUABBLE
Debate Whether to Continue
Payment of Processing
Levy.
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO. JULY 22.-Meat pack
ers, who believe that the death
knell of the processing tax will BE-
sounded within the next year, were
in a quandary today.
If the processing tax is definitely
on the way to a Supreme Court
death, as the packers think it is.
what should be done with the levy
in the meantime?
The price Of pork chops at the
neighborhood butcher shop includes
an allowance for the 1925 hun
bred pounds on live hogs which the
packer is supposed to turn over to
the Federal government. Since it is
a part of his cost, he must recover
it to show profit.
Nav Lose Refund
The all-important question now
confronting the packer is whether
he should continue to make the pay
ment. If he does and the act is
declared unconstitutional, he will be
unable to obtain a refund. Even if
he withholds the money due the
government as a reserve, the out
come may not be to his liking.
Some packers are convinced that
the government will find way to
get the tax regardless of Supreme
Court action. On the other hand,
if the government should make no
attempt to collect unpaid taxes after
voiding of the act, the packers
probably would be unable to keep
any sum they had been holding
out.
Producers May Protest
They would be besieged by vol
ley of protests from livestock pro-
ducerS, who would insist the money
was rightfully theirs.
One thing about which the pack
ers were certain was that none of
the money which has been paid
into the United States Treasury
ever will be refunded, Successful
suit against the government would
oe the only means of recovering the
tax sums. The government must
give its consent to such action, and
that is a remote possibility, packers
believed.

WASHINGTON. July 22.-Or-
1 gained labor today threw its in
huence behind the first trade prac-
tice agreement submitted TO the
/ Federal Trade Commission TO re-
place the discarded NRA cades.
I. NJ. Ornburn, president of the
Cigar and Cigaret Workers Union,
/ expressed satisfaction with the
agreement proposed by the Nation
al Association Of Tobacco Distribu-
tors, representing SO per cent of
the retail trade.
The elimination of loss leaders
will be a decidedly helpful STEP"
+ he said. Continuation of the code
F regulations for hours, wages and
/ general labor conditions even on a
voluntary basis are all right and
+ organized workers are certain to

Is Initial Attempt
The agreement is the first at

codes thrown out by the Supreme
/ Court as unconstitutional. 1t pro-
vides for strict regulation of So
called unfair trade practices. These
rules under group one have the
standing of law and can be en-
forced by the Federal Trade Com
mission under cease and deoist
orders. Labor regulations, however,
are not legally compulsory but
have the moral backing of the in
dustry's trade association.
Most of the problems of elimina-
ton of unfair competition which
plagued Gen. Hugh S. johnson and
his successors arose phoenix-like
/ from the ashes of NRA to worry
the Federal Trade Commissioners.
The stumbling blocks of loss lead
ers," hours, wages and collective
bargaining will all have to be over
come by the commission before they
prOnulgate the agreement.
The agreement was specific re-
garding loss leaders" in its first
rule, which read:
The practice of using nationally
advertised and well-known brands
of cigaretS, tobacco products or
allied lines as loss leaders to inf1u-
ence the sale of other less we'll
known merchandise is an unfair
trade practice
Bans Sale Below Cost
Mr.. Ornburn said this provision
would prevent sale of cigarets, as
one New York store did, for less
than the amount of taxes paid to
the government on each carton.
For 20 years the Federal Trade
Commission has been attempting to
regulate unfair competition in in
terState trade. Under the law, it
was required to regulate only in the
public interest" The commission
by law has authority only n inter-
state commerce and with foreign
countries.

Who Attacked His Plan
for Industrial Concord
Assistant Labor Chief Says
Proposal Will Bring
Peace.
By Times Special

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, July 22.-The
Toledo plan for industrial peace
was defended here by its author
Assistant Secretary of Labor Ed
ward F. McGrady, as democratic
and voluntary method of preventing
and settling strikes.
Mr.. McGrady believes the plan
can be used to settle disputes In
many industries in which the Su-
preme Courts NRA decision bars
the new Labor Relations Board from
acting. Senator Wagner, author
of the new Labor Act, comedies that
the Schechter ruling limits the
boards authority to cases clearly
affecting interstate commerce.
The Labor Board has jurisdic-
ton only over the processes of col
lective bargaining. not over wage
and hour disputes, which the To-
ledo plan covers. Mr.. McGrady
pointed out. Commenting on ar
attack on the plan by President Will
liam Green of the A. F. OF L., ne
said
Neither Side Defendant
1.-THE answer is that this plan vii
not compel any one to do anything
against his will. This board vii
invite both sides to come before II
in a friendly, neighborly atmosphere
Neither side is defendant"
Mr.. Green's objections were that
the proposed municipal panels woulo
provide representation for company
unions, and that the procedure
would cause long delays. These de-
laws, he fears, would weaken labor's
strength in a strike.
The whole procedure under the To
ledo plan should take no more thar
10 days, McGrady estimated. Here
is how the plan, designed to allow
each industrial community to settle
its own disputes, would operate:
In Toledo, labor and employers
each select nine men to serve or
the panel. Secretary Of Labor Per
inks has appointed Ralph A. Lind,
widely known Ohio labor mediator
to serve as impartial chairman
nineteenth member of the board
and manager. He is on the Fedora
pay roll.
Days for Results
Either labor or management, after
a deadlock in negotiations, can take
it's case to the board, which within
"a hours must set up committed
of one man from each side to medi.
ate the case. Both sides must agree
there will be no strikes or lockoutS
during this process. The impartial
chairman participates.
This three-man committee has
three days to get results. If it Their
reports failure, the impartial chair
man and the chairmen of the two
panels try again. Mr.. McGrady sug-
gests that at this stage the BOARD
could appeal from the local officials
of a big company to its national
Office. Perhaps an appeal from Local
union officials to the national union
could also be made.
If this process fails, workers car
strike, or take their case to the
Federal Government for Labor De-
partment mediation or labor boarC
action.
I'm Ohio so strikes in recent
months have lost 100000 man.
hours of work." Mr.. McGrady said
This plan would have averted most
of them"
Mr.. McGrady has had inquiries
from 18 or 10 industrial cities pr
posing installation of this plan, bun
so far he has merely counseled that
other regions wait until the To-
ledo experiment develops positive
results one way or the other.

4 u double-barred cross-emblem of
the worldwide crusade against that
communicable scourge of mankind,
tuberculosis!
Multiply that bit of paper by many
hundred millions, each seal sold for
cent, and you can visualize the mar
velous power of an idea harnessed to
the modern methods of communities
ton and publicity as a means of
financing the relentless war to con-

Now, after almost 80 years of use, this
idea of the tuberculosis Christmas seal
provides funds to sustain the National
tuberculosis Association and its 2,084
affiliated societies in the United States,
of which Of District of Columbia Tu-
berculosis Association is one, and also
the same idea is financing the tubercu-
losis work in A other nations of the
earth.
No wonder that the penny Christ
mas seals are regarded as miracle
workers and that the successive an
nual seal designs are becoming of
great value to collectors. Dating back
to 1907, when the first American
Christmas seal was used in the tuber-
culosis fight, the series of annual
seals. each with differing design, is
steadily increasing in value among
philatelists. No one has so far as
sembled complete set of these Amer
ican seals, the nearest perfect set
being in the possession of President
Roosevelt, to whom it was presented
by the National tuberculosis Associa-
ton during the seal campaign Of 1888.
The seals are usually printed in four
colors. The design for the season now

ONE OF EVENTS OF SEASON.
Rare Collection of Paintings and Drawings Opened With
Private View at American Academy of Arts and
Letters-Notes of Art and Artists

how thin and self conscious and vapid
they seem in comparison. The con-
trast is very great.
All the exhibits in this memorable
exhibition have been labeled, but the
only catalogue obtainable is an elabo-
rate, illustrated volume which sells
for $3.50. No doubt it is worth the
price, but when so many artists are
still on relief rolls and art patrons
are drawing in the purse strings to
pay taxes, this price seems luxuriously
high.
THE Metropolitan Museum of Art Is,
however, asking a dollar and a
half for its catalogue of the gorgeous
loan exhibition of French art of the
eighteenth century, which has just
been opened. 70 this exhibition, the
Louvre, the MuSee Versailles, the
Coincide Francois and other public in
stitutions in France have made loans,
as well as French private collectors.
A clever editorial writer in one of our
contemporaries remarked recently that
the masterpieces of art had all taken
to travelling Of late, and that one
should proceed with caution in max
ing comment, for fear of momentary
meeting with the object discussed.
Fifty years ago, the great galleries
and private collectors would nave
shivered at the thought Of loaning
their treasures. letting them out of
custody, while today. though they may
still shiver, they let them go with
courtly gestures of good will. 1t must.
however, be a little disappointing to
seek a masterpiece which is 'at home"
in Italy to learn that it is visiting in
Paris-or one in Paris. to find that 1t
has been loaned to New York. But
when we profit, as at present, by the
French loans to the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, we cannot grumble
audibly or admoniSh with spirit.
Chardin's exquisite little, but most
famous painting, Grace Before Meat"
is now hanging in the Metropolitan,
as are several others of this masters
incompatible works. Here also are
portraits by Largilliye. Natter, Greuze,
Vigee LIE Brun, Perronneau, Van Loo,
Drouais, with lovely canvases by Lam
cret. Fragonard, Boucher-intensely
French, but marvels of skill, Of fine
taste and sympathetic understanding.

which carries q Christmas seal.
Most of the seal designs have been
executed by artists of national repu-
tation and on this account their value
has increased with the passing years.
The ideas developed have been those
connected with the happy Christmas
festival, the earliest having used the
holly wreath and the red cross. Later
came the face Of Santa Claus and in
1918 on a large oblong seal was the
picture of st. Nick with his sleigh and
team of reindeers. The Christmas
tree, the yule log, candles, the bell
ringer, street singers and trumpeters,
the madonna and child are among the
outstanding subjects employed on
these messengers of good cheer and
health. Some of the series have been
listed in the collection market as hav-
ing a cash value Of from IS to $25
each. This might suggest to the
thrifty the wisdom of keeping a few
of the seals for future marketing.
It Is now an old and to many a
familiar story how the idea of using
a penny seal at the Christmas season
as a means Of raising funds to help
tuberculosis sufferers first had its
birth in the mind and heart OF a
kindly postal worker Of Denmark.
