By JAMES P. HORNADAY.
Washington.— A recent study on
works councils in the United Statu*
by the national Industrial conference
board, furnishing soother evidence of
the widespread Interest ID planx for
representation of employees la lndue
try, covers 17® companies or corpora
tions having works councils In 22A
different Industrial plants, affecting
approximately 600,000 worker*. In ad

Py'M tnsde In the report, which give* a
jp-llHef account of their development
from the comparatively recent date of
IBOt when the first known example of
a works committee wss formed. The
report stakes a distinction between the
principle of collective denting l>y em
ployees of individual establishment*
with their employer* nnd collective
bargaining, which Involve* recognition
of labor unions as organisations. nnd
states that the Institution of works
coondla Include* acceptance of the
former principle only.
Hew They Are Distributed.
A tabulation of works councils by
Indoatries shows that 144 were found
In the metal trades, while 01 were dis
tributed over other Industrie*, ami
that in the distribution by size of es
tablishment the majority were found
. in planta having over 800 worker*, of
particular Internet was the distribu
tion according to the extent of trade
■monism. There were HI plnnts from
which information was received on
tMs subject, and but two of these
, were "closed nonunion shops" and one
other nominally so. Out of nltout six
jfty Brms reporting the perrentsge «f
wS union labor In their employ only
i eight had no union members, while I
J the number of trade unionists In the
■F majority of the eatsbllshments ranged
' from 20 to 00 per cent of the force.
The details of organlxatlon, the
■eope Of the plans, and the functions
and activities of the works councils
are dealt with In considerable detail,
bet It la tn the chapter on "Experience
with works councils" that the main
interest lies, since heretofore, owing
Ito their brief existence, there has
been little Information collected a* to
the results attained by the commit
tees. There are various factor* which
! affect the success of such attempts.
Which must be taken Into considera
tion, the report stairs, such as "the

MADE OVER FOR BOOKLOVERS
New York Has Substitute for Saloon,
Where Literature and Boft
Drinks Are Sold.
A new Idea In the way of a substi
tute for the saloon is to be tried out
In the Booklovers' tavern, recently
opened In New York, the Philadelphia
Inquirer atatea. This la simply a place
with the familiar bar and- brass rail,
where soft drinks and literature are to
be dispensed together. Thus the men
tal exhilaration to be derived from
the latest novel will aatlsfy those ac
customed to the cocktail and give gin
ger ale or ice cream soda a fillip It
has not hitherto had.
The Booklovers* tavern may draw
book purchaaera, though Its superiority
to the ordinary bookshop Is not ap
parent But can It be expected that
thirsts will be assuaged in \hls way!
And will those who seek lifc-brlntion
between covers he able t/pay the
price? A Kipling highbalror a Wells
fizs at 11.76 la considerably more than
the purchasers of alcoholic beversges
bare been charged under wartime
prohibition.
It la obvious, too, that the kind of
I literature dispensed over the bar will
| have to be very carefully guarded.

NORTH CAROLINA LEADS IN
SOYBEAN SEED PRODUCTION.
Growing 1,700,000 Against 1,341,000
For all Other States-
C. B. Wiiliams, Chief, Division of
Agronomy. s
It must be gratifying to all
North Carolinians to know that
this State produces more soybeans
than the remaining part of the
United States.
From the latest available sta
tistics, North Carolina produces
1,700,000 bushels of soybeans an
nually for seed, while the remain
ing States only produce 1,341,000
bushels.
States to the south, north and
west of us are constantly looking
to North Carolina farmers for
their seed of this crop, especially
in areas where the crop has not
been previously grown. Hundreds
of inquiries come to the Division
of Agronomy every year for pos
sible source of seed, both iu large
and small quantities. North Caro
lina growers have an uuusnal op
portunity in growing soybeans to
meet this demand.
The soybean, when handled
properly, will, under most con
ditions of the south, generally
mt et the needs of our farmers
more efficiently than any other
summer growing legume. From a
small start a few yeais ago, this
crop, because of its superior value,
' has ingratiated itself into the
| favor of thousands of North Caro
lina farmers and farmers in other
; States, until now it has lar:ely
supplanted other summer-growing
| legumes in many aieas where it
has been grown, and its value be
-1 come appreciated.
At the present time soybean
' seed are high in price, and in all
' probability will oontinue so for
' some years to eome Where a
good crop is harvested for seed the
beaus are now selling for from
$75 to $126 for the amount pio
duced on one acre, and the vines
left on the land will add nitrogen,
to each acre of soil, that would
now cost between S2O and $26 in
commercial forms. As moat of onr
soils are greatly in need of nitro

\ Lot those who have tried it in
i Noith Carolina speak up and give
i their experience in the growth of
corn, cotton or other crops, follow
ing a good crop of soybeans plowed
t into the soil. Broadly speaking,
, in what other way or ways may
they be handled to give as favor
able returns to general farmers of
this State, as when harvested in
, this way? Let those that claim
differently show their figure*.
