Workers Food
 Bill To Increase?

Washington (LPA)-Abolition of government food subsidies which have saved the average American worker at least $40 a year on his food bill, is being planned by top stabilization officials. The move is led by Agriculture Dept Secretary Clinton Anderson and Reconversion Director John w. Snyder.
 Cancellation of the subsidies, which go chiefly to processors, canners and farmers, is expected within the next two weeks. If Anderson and Snyder get away with their scheme, which will not need Congressional approval, the average food bill will be consid- erably increased. Cancellation of the subsidies will mean that consumers will actually pay more than the amount of money saved by the gov ernment. In some instances the sub- sidies have been paid for the pro duction of foods that would not nor mally have been marketed because there was no profit in them.

RalSton Dead, Won Famous Buck StOVe Case For A. FL.

Jackson H. RalstOn, a printer ill his youth who later became a fla. nous lawyer and represented the A. F. of L. in a number of ceIe. brated cases, died this week at his home in PalO Alto, Calif., at the age of 88.
 Born i'll Sacramento, Ralston start ed out as compositor ill the early 'IOs, joined the International Typo graphical Union and represented the Typos" at several international la Dor conferences i'll Europe. He re- mained an honorary" member throughout his lifetime.
 He came to Washington in 1881 and practiced law in the capital for 43 years. From labor's stand point, his most significant legal battle was as attorney for the A. F.. of L. in the epOchaI Buck Stove and Range case, which dragged through the courts from 1907 to 1914.
 That was the case in which the Buck Stove and Range Company of St. Louis, headed by the hard-boiled J. w. Van Cleave, then president of the National Association of Manu- lecturers sought to enjoin an A. F. of L. boycott of the company's "scab' products and send leaders of the Fed eration to jail.
 Secured Reversal
 tha orlxy and got a Federal court decision i'll the District of Columbia, sentencing Samuel Gompers and other A. F. of L. leaders to penitentiary terms. The case was fought through higher courts by Ralston and several attorneys as sociated with him, including Frank L. Mulholland, then a young lawyer, now counsel for the Railway Labor Executives Association. They eventu ally won the fight when the Supreme Court reversed the convictions and the company capitulated.
 Ralston at the same time was known as a champion of Henry Georges ''single tax" theories and an outstanding authority on inter- national law and arbitration. He represented the United States in a number of arbitration cases invOlv- ing disputes with foreign nations, and wrote many books on taxation and international law.
 From 1924 to 1882, he lectured at Stanford University in PalO Alto. When he died, he was writing on history of international arbitra- ton.
