cia1 Cd rcu1ation problems facing the paper and
ceived many suggestions; everybody agreeing that
drastic means must be taken to increase c1rcu alton.

gestions for improving the technical efficiency Of

Donald H Cooper for study, consultation ind report.
President Howard Custer read a report in which he
commended the industry, fat thf1ness and ability Of

citizens It the refore failed to exert the influence
In the town that It should, he thought.
Editor Aaron chdndtB sponded With compreher-
sive explanation Of the peculiar problems the paper
has had to face because Of the part-time hobby
ture Of the activity. He pointed out several cur

set-up or the paper, and the present excellent
morale and cali ber Of the staff.

Allentown, Pa. (ILNS).-A four

of the General Cigar Company ended
when the company agreed to recog-
nize Allentown Local 81, of the Cigar
Makers International Union as bar
gaining agency for the workers. The
company also agreed not to discrimi-

on strike.
Officials regard the settlement as a
victory for the Cigar Makers Inter

time the General Cigar Company has
ever recognized a labor organization
of any kind.
Organization work is progressing
favorably in the other several fac
tories of the General Cigar Company
The strike was settled at a confer

W. P. A. STUDIES
TRADE BARRIERS

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) - An
analysis of statutes impeding the
free flow of commerce between nine
Eastern and Southern states, which
will be completed before the conven-
ing of their legislatures in January,
1910, has been inaugurated by the
Marketing Laws Survey of the Works
Projects Administration, Colonel F..
C. Harrington, commissioner, an
nounced.
The study, which is under the di-
rection of A. H. Martin, Jr., director
of the Marketing Laws Survey, will
present a digest not only of the indi-
vidual statutes which act as trade
barriers, but also of the various adj
ministrative agency orders issued un-
der the statutes. 1t is these orders
and interpretations, Colonel Harring
ton said, which frequently have had
the effect of twisting an otherwise
innocent piece of legislation into an
instrument of discrimination against
the products of sister state.
The states to be covered by the
study are Massachusetts, New York.
New Jersey, Rhode Island, South
Carolina, Virginia, Mississippi, Ken
lucky and Louisiana.
The Marketing Laws Survey al
ready has issued its first publication
relating to interstate trade barriers.
This is a preliminary compilation of
charts showing typical examples of
restrictive legislation in the several
states. A more comprehensive study
is now in progress, according to Mar
tin, which will examine all types of
restrictive legislation in all the states
and will also include the court and
administrative agency orders imple-
menting the original statutes. This
will form the principal basis of the
work to be undertaken by the inter-
departmental committee.
1t is also planned he said, to make
a study of state and municipal laws
relating to building construction.

the workers in the respective coun
tries in which they were manufac-
tured. | repeat, it is an economic
crime to spend American-earned dol
lars for foreign-made goods"
In ending his talk, Ornburn stressed
buying of union label goods and serv-
ices during the Christmas shopping
season.
Union Label Gift Buying Urged
''There is no method" he said,
through which better times can be
brought to America than through the
buying of union label and American
made products. 1t will keep your
money in our own land. 1t will in
crease purchasing power. In general,
it will bring a more permanent pros
perity to America. Surely, these are
worthy reasons why every purchaser
during the Christmas shopping sea-
son should buy union label products.
A most positive campaign can be
carried on by American consumers
through buying union-made products.
The union label is the best guarantee
that products are made in America
because it is a symbol which assures
the purchaser that the products are
made in some American industry by
American workers who receive decent
wages; work shorter hours; and under
the most favorable standards that
have ever been established in the
world"
