STORES TO BE WATCHED FOR SHOPLIFTING • Prosecutions Will Be Vigorously Pressed to Stop Practice. All of the stores of the Stores Mutual Protective Association have completed arrangements whereby stores will be watched more closely than ever for shoplifters, pickpockets and other forms of misdemeanor liable to occur in retail ■tores. Throughout the holidays, extraordinary precaution will be taken to apprehend every case of shoplifting and pocket picking and every apprehension will b e followed through with prosecution to the fullest extent of the law. The Stores Mutual Protective Association, Inc., states that prosecution will follow irrespective of who the person is, as*the stores are,determined to eliminate shoplifting, pocket picking and other forms of theft in their places of business. This movement, inaugurated a year ago, has materially reduced these forms of misdemeanors in the retail stores, as innumerable cases were prosecuted in the past year, many of the offenders receiving Jail and prison sentences. Similar movements are being conducted by the larger retail merchants In a number of larger cities, as it Is deemed necessary not only for their own protection, but for the protection of the holiday shopping crowd. Experience has proven that a majority of the cases of shoplifting are committed by inexperienced persons who, in their desire to possess articles which they do not need, are tempted to steal. By keeping a close supervision over the stores In many instances such persons are deterred from committing an act for which, were it committed they would pay no small penalty. Especially through the holiday season the stores guarded closely and carefully and precaution will be used 10 apprehend all forms of theft committed in the ■tores. ’ A bulletin service is maintained wherein the members of the Stores Mutual Protective Association, Inc., will be kept constantly advised of any and all thefts committed.

Federal Board for Coal Industry Harding's Plan

Special to Indiana Daily Times and Phlladelphfa Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—Establishment of a Federal wage board for the coal Industry, with authority to determine pay scales and adjudicate all mine labor controversies Is being given serious consideration by President Harding. It Is not unlikely a bill providing for a coal board, modeled after the United States rail labor board, will appear in Congress shortly as the first step In President’s plan to develop a labor code for dealing with all Industrial disputes which hae direct and vital bearing on "the general public welfare. The demonstrated ability of the railroad labor board in the recent railroad wage controversy to compel the struggling factions tc give way to the force of crystalized public sentiment, has convinced Administration officials of the efficacy of the method employed by the rail body. They now believe the general procedure of the railroad bpard, which attempts for the first time in American Industrial history to settle disputes on the

basls of public Justice rather than by the usual methods of compromise, should be applied to the coal industry and probably in the long run to other Industries. There Is no attempt here to disguise the concern with which officials regard the controversy between operators and miners which is almost certain to follow the expiration on March 31 next of the two-year mine wage agreements made under direction of commlssiones appointed by former President Woodrow Wilson. The application of the labor board method, It Is believed, will go a long way to save the public from the long drawn-out bickerings and the possible strike which will result from the efforts to make new agreements on the part of the operators and officials of the United Mine Workers. The importance to the public of a suspension In coal production, such ns would be accomplished If the miners went out on strike as In 1919, Is the problem with which the Administration is concerned and was the thing which the President apparently had In mind, when he addressed Congress last Tuesday.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

day, the United States Railroad Labor Board announced today. The rules probably will be made public next Wednesday. The board has been making rapid progress on the rules, It was stated. Its task has been facilitated by both employes and managements agreeing on the bulk of rules. There was a disagreement on only six rules on the majority of railroads. The board Is referring back to the employes and managements many rules on which agreements were reached on all but one or two roads. The board also Is considering three disputes which have'arisen as a result of the formation of the Southeastern Express Company, which on May 1 took over the business of the American Railway Express Company in the Southeastern States. These disputes involve the question of whether the formation of the new corporation altered the relations, rights and obligations existing between the old corporation and its employes.
