T AP.OR conditions in the Detroit
area. mostly affecting the automotiile
industry, remained in chaotic condition.
despite the partly successful
efforts of government mediators. The
strike at tlie plant of the Motor Products
corporation, which had caused a
shutdown of the factory of the Hudson
Motor company, was settled when
Kdward P. McGrady. assistant to Gen.
Hugh Johnson. laid before tlie strikers
terms that had been accepted by
the corporation. The workers agreed
to the terms, which called for a 10 per
cent increase in pay and arbitration
of disputes over piece work pay rates.
This enaided the Hudson plant to reopen.
The 1 .Too-employees of the ('amphell.
Wyant & Cannon foundry at Muskegon.
Mich., struck. The concern
makes castings for automobile builders.
The 4.GOO employees of the Nash
Motor company still were on strike at
Kenosha. Wis.
The Mechanics Educational Society
of America, an organization of tool
and die makers, had voted to strike
unless executives of jobbing plants
met their demands for a 20 per cent
pay Increase and 30-hour week.
There was a strike bv SOO employees
of the Detroit-Michigan Stove company
who demanded a 20 per cent
wage Increase, and pickets attacked
ir n who approached the plant to
work.
Industrial plants in Connecticut
were involved in numerous strikes and
labor disputes. The attitude of the
workers was expressed by John J.
Kgnn. secretary of the Conne ticut
Federation of I.ahor. who said: "No
company should declare any dividends
until the 1029 wage level Is restored."
Administrator joiinsovs order
to the bituminous coal Industry
to put into effect n seven-hour day
and new minimum wage rates was
bitterly attacked by southern coal producers
at a code revision hearing in
Washington. Especially objectionable
to the Alabama. Tennessee and Kentucky
operators was the reduction In
wage differentials accorded southern
coal fields.
C! 1IC A GO business leaders are unanimously
opposed to the Wagner
labor disputes bill, George W. Young,
president of the Chicago Association
of Commerce, told n senate committee.
Mr. Young said the real purpose of
the act was to force unionization of
business and Industry under authority
of federal law. Workers could no
longer bargain through self-organization
or Individually, but would be
compelled to bargain only through
union labor organizations, whether
that represented their real choice or
not, he pointed out.

It was Indicated that the defense
would contend that Miss Burroughs

of the house.
The house Democrats see the danger
of raising all income taxes In an election
year; and. besides, they are a
hit tired of being forced to accept
senate alterations of legislation on
which the house already has expressed
itself.
tiCOAK the rich" forces were de^
feated when the senate rejected
an amendment to the revenue bill by
Senator La Follette, Wisconsin Republican,
for a big increase in surtax
rates.
The vote was 47 to 30. The party
lineup showed 25 Democrats. 1U Republicans
and one Farmer-Lnborlte for
the amendment, with 30 Democrats
and 17 Republicans against it.
THAT MaJ. (Jen. Benjamin D. Foulois,
chief of the air corps, and others

connection with the proposed purchase
fof S7.500.UU0 worth of
army airplanes, is the
conclusion of a subcommittee
of the
house military alTairs
committee that has
been investigating the
matter. The subcommittee
also found that
Harry II. Woodring,
assistant secretary of
war. had attempted to
- _ , , assure competitive
Gen. Foulois , . . ,. . '
bidding for the airplanes
and thereby comply with the
law and the intent of congress.
The transaction in question dates
back to the first of the year. Army
officers, asking a public works allotment
to buy airplane?, made arrangements
to purchase them from special
companies without competitive bids.
THIIKK Republican senators, Warren
11. Austin of Vermont. James J.
l?avis of Pennsylvania, and W. Warren
Harbour of New Jersey, introduced
In tht senate an amendment to the
air mall act which would compel the
restoration of the canceled contracts
to private operators until fraud, If
any, be proved.
The amendment also fixes future
compensation for the carrying of the
malls to two mills per pound mile
plus a subsidy frankly provided for
the purpose of erentlng financial inducement
and Incentive to private
operators to develop aeronautical Industry
through competition.
"The amendment attempts to assure
the future status of the air mall operators
nnd remove uncertainty and
Insecurity in order to encourage long
time planning," a statement rend. "It
Is beyond question that commercial
aviation is vital to our national security
and already has become an essential
service for the business of our
country."
i ne air man industry is in danger,
Senator Austin declared, of being set
back to the chaotic conditions of Ave
years ago unless the amendment is
adopted.

Lack of Iron in Rations
Cause of Anemia in Pips
Anemia In suckling pigs is caused
by lack of iron in the ration of the
pig. says the department of animal .
husbandry at Cornell university. It Is
pointed out that at the present time
it Is Impossible to Increase the Iron
content of the milk by feeding Iron to '
the sow and other means must be
used to prevent anemia.
When sows and litters are confined
Indoors on concrete and wooden
floors, members of the department say.
the pigs may become so anemic that
they die before weaning time, and
recommend the use of a saturated
solution of ferrous sulphate to prevent '
anemia. The iron solution may he pre;
pared by dissolving one pound of dried
ferrous sulphate, or an ordinary grade j
of copperas, in one quart of hot wa- j
tor.
Treatments with this solution as
outlined by the department are: swan- :
; blng the udder of the sow once dally
1 until the pigs are six weeks old; or J
drenching the pigs once a week until ;
the pigs are four or preferably six i
weeks of age. When pigs cannot feed j
jn a creep or seir-feeder. probably ;
tliey should be drenched once a week
until they are six weeks old.
Alfalfa Long Favored
; Alfalfa came into tJreece from Asia . i
and then was carried to Italy. Several
Roman farmers told about their .
farming. They said "Of all the legutr.es,
alfalfa is the best because when
it is sown it lasts ten years, because
it can be mowed four tltues or even six j
j times a year, and because it improves I
the soil." Plowing under crops for
green manure was known to be good, !
1 especially before planting corn. Clo- '
I ver and field beans were recomroendI
ed by tl'.e best Roman farmers as good
cattle feed. They recommended a
, three-year rotation for crops; the land
j was left bare one year, planted to
! grain the next, and followed by some
\ legume the third year. Many of the
I methods we consider quite modern to
; use on our farms, observes an author*
| tty, are really centuries old.?Exchange.
Home Lard Production
When lard is rendered at home. It
1 should be graded and as much neutral
> lard as possible produced, says Miss
i Flora Carl of the Missouri College of
Agriculture. Neutral lard Is the lard
rendered from Internal fats at such \
* low temperatures that It Is almost. If
? not entirely, free of taste and odor.
Neutral lard Is of high quality but It
r Is seldom that It can be purchased for
? cooking purposes, since most of It goes
I Into the manufacture of oleomargarine.
? More lard can be extracted at a tower
i temperature If the fat Is run through
I the sausage mill Instead of chopping
? before rendering. The fat from the
i rinds Is more difficult to extract and
? gives a softer and a cheaper grade of
f lard. The rinds can be rendered by
roasting tn the oven.

Hospitals Use
a liquid Laxative
Hospitals and doctors have always
used liquid laxatives. And the public
s fast returning to laxatives in liquid
form. Do you know the reasons?
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can thus be
regulated to suit individual need. It
forms no habit; you need not take a
"double dose" a day or two later.
\'or will a mild liquid laxatire irritate
the kidneys.
The right dose of a liquid laxative
brings a perfect movement, and there
is no discomfort at the lime, or after.
The wrong cathartic may often do
more barm than good.
A properly prepared liquid laxative
like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
brings safe relief from constipation.
ii gcuuy iicips vne average person s
bowels back to regularity. Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin is an approved
liquid laxative which all druggists
keep ready for use. It makes an
ideal family laxative; effective for
all ages, and may be given the
youngest child. Member N. R. A.
