Beef demand was good and western steers started moving early at fully steady price. Steady bids were also made on natives right from the start, but most of them were belng held higher, .and no sales had been made up to a rather late hour. The stocker and feeder supply was comparatively small, but there was not much demand, except tor a, few of the good 200 to 1,000-pound steers and the market was very slow at prices that ranged from barely steady to unevenly lower. Movement of fat cows and heifers started early on a good strong basis and some- sell er were quoting values higher than last week.

SUPREME COURT CHANGES DECREE IN LABOR CASES Decides Certain Unions Not Le gal Organizations and Ap proves Injunction to Re strain Picketing Washington, Dec. 10. Right of em ployers to prevent labor unions from soliciting nonunion employes to join the labor organizations was upheld to day by the supreme court by a divided vote of 6 to 3 in test cases against the United Mine Workers of America and the American Flint Class Work ers' union. Methods of the tabor organization in attempting to unionize the "open shop", workmen and bring about strikes Were declared "unlawful" and "malicious." Injunctions previously given by Federal Judge Dayton in West Virginia to prevent the union activities were sustained. The court admitted the right of workmen to organize into unions for lawful methods, but held that the em ployersthe Hitchman Coal and Coke company, and the Eagle Glass Manu facturing company of West Virginia were entitled to operate their plants "open shop" and to protection and an injunction against the labor unions was ordered for that purpose. , Injunctions were .approved, how ever, by the supreme court to the Hitchman Coal and Coke company of West Virginia to restrain union solicitation of their nonunion em ployes who are under contract not to join unions. Federal Judge Dayton of West Virginia has granted such injunctions. The court, through Justice Pitney, rejected union contentions that peace able solicitation or "picketing" of em ploVes having contracts not to join unions does not violate constitutional freedom of contract. The supreme court, by its decision, does not decide that the organizations are illegal, but stamps certain prac tices as illegal. The decision says the court recognizes the right of the miners to organize. Tariff Commission Will ' , Make Special Report , Washington, D. C Dec. 10.

Federal Protection of Mothsrhood is Urged Washington, Dec. 10. Federal pro tection of motherhood through federal grants similar to those made for agri cultural extension is proposed in the annuah report of the children's bureau of the Department of Labor, made public today. The plan, which is the outgrowth of five years' study of maternal mortality showing that at least 15,000 women die each year from causes connected with child bearing, suggests that state and federal authorities Combine to make accessible for every mother the care she needs for herself and her babies. The report shows a great lack of facilities for caring for mothers in the United States, particularly in the rural sections. Here, the statements says, women between the ages of 20 and 45 died at a rate nearly equal to men, al though the male death rate is greater than the female throughout life.
