Pretty Popular
Nevertheless, tariff protection was
pretty popular. OF course the manu-
facturerS liked it. because its effect
was to hold foreign competition
down to a minimum. Labor liked it,
too, on the ground that it enabled
American industries to pay higher
wages. And this was true also. To
be sure. tie exclusion Of foreign
goods made American living costs
high likewise. which dethracted some
what from the beauty of high wages.
Still. our workers undoubtedly

sibly foods.
Cold Storage Space Doubled.
Col. Wrisley Brown, president OF
the Terminal Refrigerating and
Wholesaling Corp. in Washington,
said there is twice as much cold
storage space available now as when
the United States entered the
World War, along with a Is per cent
increase in population since that
time.
Existing space is adequate to
handle defense demands, he as
serted, and cold storage plants on
the whole are not running at capac-
ity at present.
The wholesalers stand as to the
amount of storage space came in the
face of recent reports that the
country's warehouses are being Sc
verely taxed 1t has previously
been brought out, for example, that
tobacco and cotton warehouses are
particularly overcrowded and that
most warehouses in the Pacific
Coast region are beyond their
capacity.
In this connection, however, it
was mentioned at the conference
that a continued war in Europe
would see a piling up of American
grown food which would otherwise
have been exported and that there
is no extra space now for groceries.
Price Upturn Is Seen.
All representatives at the meeting
were unanimous in agreeing that
there seems no prospect Of food
shortage.
In the night session dealing with

price, 1t was indicated that prices
may 60 up on some finished products
where the condition of scarcity Of
the raw materials may exist.
w. F. Bloor, assistant to the presi-
dent of the Goodyear Tire g. Rub
ber Co. of Akron, Ohio, said he was
in sympathy with the wages and
hours law but expressed the fear
that it will boost labor costs and
thus increase prices for the con-
sumner.
He added that the volume Of war
and defense orders is helping at
present to keep prices down.
Speaking for the drug trade, Ed
ward j. Carroll of Davis Bros, Den.
yer, Colo, warned against Govern
ment buying of too great stores Of
medicine. Explaining that the sup
ply of drugs is limited. he suggested
that the Government buy synthetic
drugs instead.

commissioner of the Emergency De-

suits of the discussions and said she
had been assured of the full CO.
operation of the country's' whole
salers in the defense effort.
Follow Retailer Action.
The wholesalers resolved spe-
cifically: That this conference
pledge full cooperation to the Ad-
visory Commission to the Council
of National Defense to discourage
any unwarranted wholesale ad-
vanceS.
That this conference 60 on record
as discouraging excessive inventories
which might adversely affect con-
sumner and national defense needs"
In forming their own advisory
commission, the wholesalers were
duplicating the move made by the
retail trade in its meeting here re-
Gently with the national defense
group.
1t was brought out during the
afternoon session that the ware
house storage facilities in general
are adequate for civilian needs if
transportation facilities are properly
co-ordinated: that, further, there is
enough public warehouse space to
obviate the necessity for govern
mental building projects.
In the hardware and dry goods
