1T is the governments duty to

"I, for one, am sorry to see the

The great gains made by labor
through its organizations are in
danger so long as this division ex-

NEW YORK, April 20 (P.-Eastern
railroads yesterday accepted under
protest" the Interstate Commerce Com
missions order cutting passenger rates
to 2 cents mile, which will give the
East the lowest uniform rate Of rail
transportation costs for this century.
The Eastern roads protest, it was
made known, is more than a gesture,
for they intend to seek a judicial
opinion on the validity Of the COM
missions order. The new tariffs will
be filed without delay and the reduced
rates will become effective June next.
The Pullman surcharge also will be
dropped under the commissions order.
The new mileage rate in Pullmans
will be cents.
Announcement of the roads inten-
ton to lower the fares pending con-
test in the courts followed session
of the Eastern presidents conference.
It was made in behalf Of "a ma
jority" Of the carriers, but it excluded
Baltimore g. Ohio and its afiiliates,
Philadelphia g. Reading and Central
Railroad of New Jersey. Baltimore g.
Ohio did not oppose the ordered cut.
Railroads operating in Western and
Southeastern regions, although af-
fected by the commission order. will
not have to alter their tariffs. Two
years ago they voluntarily cut to 2
cents in the West and to as low as l2
cents a mile in the South.

Cast Gives Excellent Performance
in Sidney Howard's Well
Known Story.
THE Wardman Park Theater last
night was the scene Of the Studio
of Theater Arts latest presentation.
1.-THE Late Christopher Bean" Sid
ney Howard's well-known story Of
Abby and what happened to the
paintings of her secret husband, Chris
Bean.
Under the direction Of Constance
Connor Brown. the cast gave an excel
lent Interpretation Of this moving
story.
An excellent bit of acting was
turned in by Betty Rice in the role
of Abby, the maid. She left nothing
to be desired in her portrayal Of the
half-frightened secret bride, anxious
only to save the paintings of her dead
husband; not for their intrinsic value,
but for their sentimental worth.
Another excellent actor was Ralph
Howenstein as DR.. Haggett. He was
the perfect small-town physician, be-
wildered by sudden turn of good for
tune, but true to his tradition of hon.
esty when he discovered how he had
been duped.
The f1ighty. selfish Ada Haggett,
Susans sister, was played by Dorothy
Bolton. Others In the cast were Eli
nor Evans. Karl Gay. James Kelly and
Frank Westbrook. The excellent stage
settings were designed by Miss Brown
and Mr. Westbrook

The long continued dry spell had
its effect in reducing beef cattle
numbers and range pasture feed
prospects in some important areas,
but there are numerous bright spots
otherwise. The dairy future is
looking up" and the same may be
said of other industries. Export
conditions remain unsettled but the
efforts to both adequately measure
and jurdiciously expend the domes-
tic markets appear to be having
some effect.
Following are the 1897 price and
volume prospects:
BEEF OUTLOOK is GOOD
Cattle numbers in California will
probably be slightly greater on Jan
uary l, 1887 than they were a year
previous, but the general level of
livestock and meat prices througha
out the United States is expected to
be higher than in 1886, and higher
than for several years, due to
drought liquidations and other
causes. This is stated in the 1897
Agricultural Outlook of the agricul-
tural extension service, University of
California, now being distributed.
Should range and pasture condi-
tions be fairly favorable in the areas
most severely affected by the
drought, there will be a strong
tendency for cattle ranches to be
restocked. But even with slaughter
supplies fairly large, the cattle in
dustry will be in a rather favorable
position because of the reduced hog
supplies which are in prospect for
the next two years.
However, as the result of the con-
tinued long dry spell throughout the
state cattlemen are greatly disturb
ed. Winter range prospects are
poor and in many areas stock cattle
have shown heavy shrinkage.
Consumer demand for beef and
veal has been increasing since 1888,
and there are indications that fur
ther improvements may occur in
1897. In view of the smaller sup
plies of grain-fed cattle throughout
the country and the prospective i'm
provement in consumer demand, it
is expected that the prices of such

cattle will rise to higher levels.
DAIRY PRICES FIRM


The increase in the purchasing
power of consumers and the pros
pect that it will continue through
1897 and beyond are important fact
ors in improving the dairy outlook
for California and the nation. This
is stated in the 1887 Agricultural
Outlook of the agricultural extension
service, University of California.
The general decline in the con-
sumption of market milk, cream and
ice cream, which occurred during
the depression, has apparently been
halted.
Milk COW numbers are expected to
be about 25000,000 in the United
States on January l, the lowest
January figure since 1882. There
are prospects for further declines in
1887 and 1888, but it seems probable
that the decline in milk COW num-
bers will not extend to California, as
slight increase is indicated here.
The long time outlook is even
more favorable than that of the next
few months. If feed crops are of
approximately normal volume in
1897 and in following years, feed
prices will probably decline in rela-
ton to dairy products. Being less
affected by the drought than in most
sections California dairymen have
maintained their herds. Further
more the milk-fat, barley and milk
fat, alfalfa price ratios have been
more favorable here than in the
middle west. In view of the ma
tional situation, the states dairy
men have a favorable outlook for
the next two or three years. pro-
vided feed supplies are normal.
FEED is EGG FACTOR
A major influence in controlling
poultry and egg production in the
United States until early in 1888 is
the present feed situation, it is
stated in the 1887 Agricultural Out
look of the agricultural extension
service, University of California
Numbers of chickens on farms are
expected to be only slightly greater

FLAXSEED CROP SHORT

WlCn StrOng demand and rath-
er short supplies for the remainder
of the 1936-37 season, it appears
that flaXseed prices in the United
States will continue at high levels.
This is stated in the 1887 Agricul-
tural Outlook of the agricultural
extension service, University of CAL
ifornia, just issued The North
American 1886 crop is little more
than half that of 1885 and is of
relatively low quality. Drought
caused total failure in large areas
of North Dakota, South Dakota and
Montana.
Unless yields per acre are shown
above the rs bushels for the 10
years ending in 1882 it seems likely
that the United States 1887 crop
will not exceed about 100000
bushels. Since domestic require
ments in 1937-1938 may be expected
to be much greater than this guam
tity, and since the United States
flaXseed market is protected by a
IS cent a bushel tariff, it is reason
able to anticipate a continuation of
strong prices beyond the current
crop year.
The annual linseed oil consump-
ton of California is now equivalent
to between 100000 and 100000
bushels of flaxseed November esti-
mates indicated a 1886 crop in Cali
fornia of 731,000 acres Or yield of
II bushels per acre on $4,000 acres.
1t appears therefore that California
flaXseed production could be about
doubled without changing this state
from a deficit to surplus produc-
ing area. Likewise it seems that a
considerable increase in the states
production could occur without af-
fecting appreciably the domestic
flaxseed price level, since Califor-
MAS production and consumption
are very small compared with the
national level.
Imperial Valley press., 1936-12-29

earlier because of this situation. On
account of the unfavorable egg feed
price ratio which will probably pre-
vail during the winter, it is not
likely that production will be great
ly different from that in 1935-36. In
the last half of 1897 if the new feed
crops show normal production, a
more favorable egg feed price ratio
will tend to raise the rate of laying
above that of the last half of 1896.
The 1885 hatchery sales in Cali
fornia, the largest in five years,
showed in an estimated increase of
Approximately Is per cent in the
number of chickens on California
farms. Although hatchery sales
during August and September of this
year were we'll above the average
for these months for the four years
1931-34, the feed situation has been
relatively unfavorable since that
time. This will probably induce a
larger than normal amount of Gull
ing in California flocks and a some
what smaller hatch in the spring of
1887.
Carlot shipments of eggs from
California increased by over 100 per
cent in the first nine months of
1886 as compared with the same
period in 1885. In this period in
1886 egg receipts at New York, Chi
cago, Boston, and Philadelphia were
10 per cent greater than in the same
period in 1885. With the unfavor-
able egg feed price ration prevail
ing and the indicated culling of
flocks, it seems possible that these
receipts might decline to about the
level of the 1935-36 winter
