(Continued from Page D wage scales, but were unable to agree on the rates to be paid during the period of mediation. The union insisted the old scale remain Tn force, while the Mallory company favored the new and lower scale.
 The state board of mediation and arbitration offered to bring the two parties together yesterday for con- ference, but the proposal Tell through.
 Stumbling Block
 Raynolds last week declared that labor was the remaining stumbling block" Of the company to reduce It's costs to meet those of competitors.
 In Q letter outlining the new pro- posal Reynolds said "all wage rates are on the basis of wage rates grant, cd other union shops making tho same grades as Mallory. We are pre- pared to go the limit in mitigating our surplus labor problem"
 Dennis M. Carroll, Secretary-treaS- urer of the Hat Makers Union, an AFL affiliate, asserted 1t was 8 "lock-out", and "the union won't be licked and can't be licked"
 The reduced wage scale was an- nounced by Ralph K. Reynolds, pres ident of the l60-year-o concern, as necessary to cut down operating costs which, he said, caused the com- pany heavy losses during the past few years.
 The workers reported at the fac. tory today, read the posted notices of the reductions, and walked out.

EXPORTS TO ITALY

 Her imports from the United States, however, showed an inc crease of 54 per cent during the six months ending February, lo40, cofn- pared with the corresponding six months ending February, 1899, and an increase of lB8 per cent conn pared with the same period ending in 1888.
 thirds of American exports to Italy are confined to the four commodities of cotton, crude petro- leum, iron and steel scrap, and copper. Total exports for 1889 were $58 ,863 ,556.
 The commodities are vital for war, and 1t is expected that the allied contraband control will guard against re-export to Germany and consider the possibility of Italy en- tering the war on Germanys side.

ort-Weight Chicken Sales
Bring Fines Iota|inq $500

A $500 fine-$5O on each of 10
Government informations charging
% violations of the Districts
weights and measures laws-was
the sentence imposed yesterday on
Luther w. High, trading as the High
Ice Cream Co., by Police Court
Judge John P. Mcmahon.
Mr.. High had previously pleaded
guilty to the charges, filed in con-
nection with the short-weight sales
of dressed chickens at 10 High
stores In this city, when arraigned
before Judge Mcmahon on April IS.
Each information charged four
onenses against the defendant
two of short weight and two of SELL
ing by weight and not net weight.
Mr. High was sentenced to pay $50
on the first count Of each informa-
ton, sentence being suspended on
the other three counts of each.
George M. Roberts, superintend-
ent of weights, measures and mar
kets for the District government,
swore to the informations after
purchases were made by his agents
at various High stores.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Milton Norman told the court
chickens handled in the stores were
being sold dressed" at live weight,
the difference being approximately
three-fourths pound per chicken.
The chickens, the prosecutor ex-
planned. were weighed at a poultry
farm In Maryland and sent to the
High establishments with live
weight tags attached to each.
The defense claimed that Mr..
High had been purchasing chickens
on . consignment basis" from q
business associate who owns a poul-
try farm in nearby Maryland. He
relied exclusively on his associate,
who had charge of those transac-
tions, Mr.. High declared, and de-
MED any knowledge Of the viola
.tions.

c.A.A. Reorganization
Battle Opens Monday
On Senate Floor
Mecorron, Defeated in
Committee. Confident Of
Blocking Change
BY J. A. OLEARY.

Senator McCarran, Democrat, Of
Nevada was confident today he will
have the votes in the Senate next
week to stop the Presidents pro-
posed reorganization of the Civil
Aeronautics Authority.
He made the prediction following
the action of the Senate Reorgani-
xation Committee late yesterday in
voting S to 3 to uphold the Presi-
dents plan, by reporting adversely
on his resolution Of disapproval.
The floor battle Is expected to
start Monday, with debate limited to
10 hours by the terms Of the Reor-
ganization Act. The motion to take
up the McCarran resolution is privi-
legged and not debatable.
Already Disapproved by House.
If a majority of the Senate sup
ports the McCarran resolution the
reorganization order will be killed,
since the House already has disap-
proved it.
The committee acted after a final
day of hearing members and former
officials of the three-man Air Safety
Board, which the plan would abol-
tsh, and Chairman Robert H.
Hinckley of the five-man Civil
Aeronautics Authority. which would
take over the functions Of the
smaller board. The committee vote
follows:
To sustain the President by re-
porting adversely on the McCarran
resolution Byrnes, Demo-
crat, of South Carolina; Barley,
Democrat, of Kentucky; Harrison,
Democrat, of Mississippi; Lucas,
Democrat, of Illinois, and La Fol-
lette, Progressive, of Wisconsin.
Against the adverse report-Sena-
tors Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia;
McNary, Republican, of Oregon, and
Townsend, Republican, of Delaware.
OMahoney Absent.
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat, Of
Wyoming, remaining member, was
absent and not voting.
c. B. Allen, member Of the
Safety Board, testified yesterday
afternoon the reorganization plan
would be a great mistake and step
backward" following up in SUBJ
stance testimony given earlier by
Thomas Hardin, another member Of
the Safety Board.
Mr.. Allen contended there are
only two basic issues involved, which
he summed up as follows: l, whether
the agency or agencies dealing with
civil aeronautics are to be creatures
of Congress, or of the President
through the Secretary of Commerce;
a. whether the agency investigating
accidents is to be in a position Of
investigating the adequacy Of its
own regulations.
The last witness was Mr.. Hinckley,
who emphasized he was presenting
only his own views.
Replying to committee questions,
he said the reorganization program
''can actually increase safety for
the travelling public, and actually
Improve conditions generally In the
industry"

Flint Michigan
Celebrates Annual
Harvest Festival
One-FOurth Of It's Total Pop
ulatiOn Are Employed In
Motor Plants

The City of Flint, Michigan, recently
celebrated what might be termed its
annual harvest festival. Since the
most distinctly automotive city in the
world, with one-fourth of it's total
population employed in motor plants,
the crop for which thanks were given
was, appropriately enough, automo-
biles.
The Flint Motor Festival, although
only three years old, is fast becoming
a tradition in the automotive world.
But this year it was of significance
to the entire nation. Flint set an ex-
ample that other communities can well
emulate.
Taking cognizance Of the storm
clouds gathering on the nations hori-
IONS, Flint built this years Festival
around the theme, Industry Stands
Ready-for National Defense" To
give concrete expression to this theme
campaign was launched to obtain
signatures to a pledge that eve, the
undersigned citizens of Flint, Mich
igan, stand ready to do our part as
workers in American industry to de-
fend and preserve the peace of our
country"
Today the result of that campaign
reposes in the White House. mas
