One of the questions raised in econnee- tion with the tariff bill which is now be- ing considered in the senate concerns that feature regarding the flexible rate In drafting a tariff bill it is fully un- derstood that the conditions which fol- lowed the war impised unusual difficul- ties upon the tariff makers. If conditions were stable it would' be another thing but they are not and théFe is no telling when they will get back to normal or a fixed point. This was given full consid- eration in the establishment of tariff rates and no one understands the diffi- culties encountered better than those who were engaged in the work.

Labor disputes have existed in Chi- cagc for a considerable time and the adjustment got to the point where it was d that Judge Landls should act as arbiter, hear the facts as presented by th sides and render a decision that ould be respected. It was stipulated the judge that both sides must agree » abide by the decision, Because the decision was not what was desired cetrain leaders have done all could to upset it. Many have re- fused to abide by it and conditions have been going from bad to worse. The fact they who have been convicted of crime of virring degree and some who ars sen- tenced to the penitentiary, but omt pend- ing an appeal. gives support to the claim of the police chief that they do mnot in ail cases represent honest labor, Labor s itself divided in this fight and it is the radical element or those who have gotten into positions of labor lead- ers that are responsible for the condi- tions, the riots and bombing which must be greatly deplored by those in organ- 1204 Jabor who do not sanction such des- perate and insane methods. Just how much it is posstble for labor tion of the anti-trust law. Determined violation and a difference of opinion as to what the law means are decidedly dif- ferent. dIn the case against the sugar companies it would seem to be the latter situation that existed for as soon as it was determined by the lower courts that they were consldered to be acting in vio- lation of the law by combining \they ceased that relationship.

Potato Prices—Cheaper potatos are possible in the near future. This pros- pect is justified by repomts of, large stocks of old potatoes beiag still in hand and of increased supplies of early new ones from abroad.

New Dye Discovery—Experiments in the laboratories of the British Dyestuffs Corporation, Blackley, have led to a discovery which will, it is believed, give this country an advance on foreign com- petitors. It is a process by means of which two color effects canbe produced upon a white material-in a singie dye bath. The new dyestuffs, says Proffes: sor A. G.
