Y., Novem- ber 28.—Discovery of a large still, dismantled and cached on the farm of Willlam E. (Pussyfoot) Johnson, internationally famed prohibition crusader, near Smithville Flats, a short distance from here, has led State troopers to begin a hunt for two men believed to have engaged in -bootlegging -operations.-in. the Smithville Flats section for a period of months. The moonshine-making equip- ment, consisting of fourteen 200- gallon copper boilers, coils and other paraphernalia, was hidden in a clump of trees in a field near the Johnson barns.

With plans beginning to take shape for the laying off of the Union Station- Capitol plaza, two States have made bids for the privilege of naming the new avenue which 1s to be cut through the plaza to connect the station with Pennsylvania avenue near Peace Monument. Senator Willls of Ohlo, in a letter just received by David Lynn, architect of the Capitol, urges that the new thoroughfare be designated Ohio ave- nue. “It is unreasonable that a. great state like Ohio should be represented only as it is on the map of Washing- ton,” Senator Willls wrote. The exist- ing Ohio avenue is to be closed in con- nection with the Government's build- ing program south of Pennsylvania ue. alifornia s the other State which feels that its name should be applied to the new avenue which is to extend through the Union Station plaza. Mr. Lynn has received a number of letters from Californians, including Senator Hiram Johnson. The question of naming the new avenue does not call for immediate decision, however, since Congress has not yet taken steps to remove the war-time dormitories, nor has it ap- propriated the funds for improvement of the plaza. . ;STATE SENATOR TRICKED.

Nearly 400 of 545 trade disputes which came before the Federal con- ciliation service of the Labor Depart- ment during the last fiscal year were adjusted, Secretary Davis sald today in his annual report. Director Kerwin, head of the con- clliation service, estimated that nor- mally about 85 per cent of the labor controversies in which the department had been invited to intervene reached satisfactory settlement. The record, the Secretary concluded, justified the now well settled national policy of refraining from compulsory arbitration methods or other devices for enforcing trade dispute settle- ments. “Our experience has proved,” the re- port says, “that American employers and employes are not favorable to the principle of compulsory arbitration in labor disputes. Neither legal enact- ment nor compulsion seems to be prac- ticable and proper as a means of bring- ing about industrial peace. The rern- edy lies in direct negotiation and mu- tual understanding.” HEADS EDITOR GROUP. C. J. Wilkinson Named by Fra- ternity Magazine Body. Cecil J.

In analyzing the entrles submitted and taking them as a cross section of the public mind, certain ideas be- came apparent. An outstanding fact was that with few exceptions the slo- gans dealt with one of the three is- sues touched upon by the three prize winners. Very few touched upon the wet and dry issue, and of those out- standing were “My Eye ‘We’re Dry,’ " submitted by a resident of Washing- ton, and “You Bet ‘We're Wet,’” sent in by a Californian.

Self- regulation of business and industry and a “hands-off” policy by the com- mission without prejudicing public interest were the new policies put in effect. A new constructive agency known as the trade practice conference has proved of substantial assistance to the commissioners and investigators in the fundamental work of the com- mission—the elimination of unfair practices in commercial competition. Permits Own Rules. “This procedure,” the report sald, “permits an industry to make its own rules of business conduct; to estab- lish its own law merchant, in co- operation with the commission.” The recently adopted practice of permitting a prospective respondent to have informal hearing before the Board of Review before a complaint is issued, was sald to have proved of great value. A third measure per- mits certain minor cases to be set- tled in the public interest by stipu- lation of the concern complained against to discover certain practice without the issuance of a formal complaint with its attendant expense in time and money. The commission Instituted 1,633 preliminary iInvestigations into al- leged unfair trade practices. Of this number 229 resulted in complaints being flled against individual com- panies or trade combines. B 30 Complaints Dropped. Thirty complaints were dismissed, and in 52 cases cease and® desist orders were issued. The commission asked for legislation providing that suits brought to en- force, modify or set aside orders of the commission and all other suits to which the commission is party shall be regarded, for the purpose of taxing court costs, as suits brought by or against the United States. It was pointed out that at present the commission is not regarded as “the United States,” and court costs have far exceeded the funds availa- ble for court uses. AUTO LISTED AT $20,208.
