OPEN SHOP IS RECOGNIZED IN RAIL DECISION New Ruling of Federal Labor Board Saves Millions for Railroads. CHANGES ARE DRASTIC CHICAGO, Dec. I.—Drastic changes in the working rules governing 400,000 railroad shop employes went into effect today. The changes in rules were ordered by the United States Railroad Labor Board after months of public hearings and consideration. Railroads who fought for the changes on the grounds that old rules were “oppressive” and "arbitrary” will be saved approximately $50,1X10,000 a year by the decree. The new rules were designed by the board to bring about greater economy and efficiency in railroad shops. The “open shop” principle was recognized in the decision which promulgated new working rules. Under the plan minorities in railroad shops will be represented on grievance committees. In the past union representatives represented all the men in the shops regardless of whether they were affiliated with the labor organizations. The board stated, however, the open shop ruling was more important theoretically than actually because only a small percentage of rail employes are unorganized. The new rules provide that men assigned to one type of work may be put to work on something else if there is nothing to do in their particular class. Another rule provides that machinists making repairs on equipment may disconnect wires and pipes. Under the oid agreements this work could be done only by electricians and sheet metal workers. Only the Federated Shop Crafts of the American Federation of Labor are affected by the ruling. The crafts who started to work under the new agreements are: Railway car men, blacksmiths, drop forgers, sheet metal workers, machinists, boilermakers and electrical workers. Bert M. Jewell, president of the railroad department of the American Federation of Labor, would not comment on the drastic changes which are considered a victory for the carriers until he had carefully studied the text of the ruling. Jewell's union refused to Join the contemplated strike of the brotherhoods called for October. 30, and later canceled. At the time, it was announced the shopmen would wait until the rules and working agreements were announced before taking any strike action. In hearings before the board, union representatives resisted any changes in rules on the grounds that they were the backbone of unionism. The carriers, represented by W. W. Atterbury, vice president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, stated many of the roads would go bankrupt If the changes were not ordered.'

DISTRIBUTION WASTES KEEP LIVING COST UP (Continued From Page One.) Impose upon the public. Fine ladies come to market and find joy In It They get the best of foods at prices that would make an Easterner wonder If what he heard and saw were true. One market rule is enforced to the limit. It is that on Saturday night everything In the market must be sold by closing time—ll o'clock. Barga n hunters assemble about 8 or 9 p. m. to take advantage of this rule. Stall occupants who are loaded up with stuff begin about 8:30 to offer bargains Newly-weds and those whoso purses are slim wait patiently as the prices come lower and lower until it seems the bottom has been reached. Then they buy. Oeca slonally they get a whole week's supply or fish, meat, fruit and vegetables for only $1 or $2. Anything left on the stallkeepers’ hands at 11 p. m. is taken over by the city and goes to charity. • • • THAT’S somewhat different from what happens in the East. Reports come Irregularly of vegetable crops in New Jersey plowed into the earth because the farmer can get such little money from the retailers In New York or Pennsylvania. while at the same time city prices remain high. Reports are not irregular of hundreds of tons of food stuff dumped Into the bay in New York because of improper loading or of being held off the market nntl! it spoiled. The system in the Pacific coast cities reduces the number of middlemen and minimizes waste. The lack of system in Eastern cities increase* the number of middlemen and causes waste. Usually city markets are not attractive. The West shows how they can be made as attractive to the housewife as Is the finest department store. • • • XJERE are some figures that may pro--11 vok study.

These figures show that wholesale prices on what might be considered the principal household commodities have tvn reduced mora than one half from last year 6 peak. It Is not possible to carry all of this cut down to the consumer. But it is possible to carry much more of it than gets to the consumer today. Tile genius of America has been devoted to economy In production, while little attention has been given to the gross waste of distribution. Those wastes plague the people of today. for they hit them where they livein the market basket.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

Headquarters of the Marion County council of the American Legion today were being moved from the K. of P. building to space in the new State headquarters of the legion, in the Indianapolis Securities Company building The change was authorized at the regular meeting of the council at the Chamber of Commerce last night. When President J. Frank Cantwell n reading his annual report, suggested that a nominating committee be appointed to name candidates for the annual election of officers in January, soma members of the council declared politics was being played.

Meetings have been scheduled In Logansport. Anderson, Alexandria, Muncie, South Bend, Elkhart and Wabash.

IMPLEMENT MEN HOLD SESSIONS State Association Members Told They Should Know Farm Practices. That the dealer should be Informed as to the best agricultural practice in order that he may give the best possible service to the farmer, was set forth in his address on “Selling on a Service Basis,” by E. A. White of the Farm implement News, Chicago, at today’s session at the Claypool Hotel of the annual convention of the Indiana Implement Dealers Association. He continued by saying that unless the dealer was able to make suggestions based on such information be did not see how the dealer can serve the farmer efficiently. He explained that this information should be used In the form of suggestions—that he did not mean that the dealer should be a so-called "busy body”; and that the dealer’s bulwark was the service he could render the farmer In his community. Professor Coleman of Purdue Univer slty, who spoke on the subject of “How the Implement Dealer Enters Into the Farmers' Success,” also touched upon the service that can thus be rendered the farmer by the dealer. He touched also upon the value of the application of economic principles to farming. The program also Included an addres hy E. O. Weir of Dowagiac, Mich., and an address on “Farm Machinery Merchandising,” by George N. Peck of Moline, 111. At the closing session tomorrow, there will be several addresses, the transaction of miscellaneous business and the election of officers. Muncie Lad Guilty of Criminal Assault Special to The Times.

kneel upon the sands, stricken with terror and praying. Nero leans over the high balustrade of the Imperial box, gloating at their suffering. Then the trap door begins to rise. The first lion* slips out of the opening and a thrill passes over the audience. The moment is full of suspense. More lions follow, many of them, lean, hungry looking brutes. The scene then shifts to a close view of the kneeling Christians. The women clasp their children to their breasts and raise their eyes In supplication to heaven. Petronlus the arbltor of fashion looks on In disgust. Vinitlus awaits in trembling the fate of his beloved Lygla; Chllo revolts at the outcome of his own villainny and faints, and the thousands of citizens and nobles look on with bated breath.
