Cattle Severe weather for several days
cut down the cattle- supply this morning, re
ceipts, which amounted to about 8,000 head,
being the smallest that have been here on
a Monday-t In month. 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.

Sheep A very small run of sheep and
lambs was on th early market this morn
ing, with prospects for a fairly moderate
supply before the close. Little wa don on
the first rounds, both packer and feeder
buyers holding off for further arrival of
stock. Fnt lambs were rather scarce and
not very desirable. A few. odds and ends
changed hands at about steady prices. There
was a liberal supply of fat wethers, with a
firm undertone to the market generally.
They were not old by 10:30 o'clock. Feed
ers were kw, with apparently little de
mand at the outset. They were nominally
steady. Fat ewes looked steady with Fri
day's close.

movement, and furthermore implltd an In
crease of f jdlng d unand. On the resulting
bulge In prices, however, buying vas not of
an aggressive character and It wt 1 pointed
out that the prevailing oold weather was
fine for th I conditioning of corn. Some
thing of a setback followed owln- In part
to prospects that the embargo on shipments

to a rapid action of stocks here. The fact,
though, that offerings were readily ab
sorbed In the late dealings evoked a fresh

Government Operation of
Railroads Gains in Favor
Washington, Dec. 10. The idea
of government operation of the rail
roads as the way out of the present
transportation difficulties seemed to
be gaining favor today among most
of the officials upon whom President
Witson is depending for advice on the
subject. Those in touch with the situ
ation said they expected to see the
question decided this week.
There wa'a series of conferences
today among the railroad heads, who
want to try government fid before
government operation is resorted to.
The railroad men also conferred with
Senator Newlands, chairman of the
joint congressional committee, work
ing on the transportation problems.
Later Senator Newlands had an en
gagement with the president at the
White House.
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.

HALIFAX POLICE
ARREST GERMAN
CITIZENS THERE
BULLETIN.
Halifax. N. S.. Dec. lO.-Wholc-sale
arrests of German residents of
Halifax was begun by the police to
day. This action was taken under In
structions from the military authori
ties. Sixteen Germans were taken in cus
tody within a short time. Military
officers, after an inquiry, released a
few of them. The others are in the
county jail.
The authorities refused to disclose
whether they had obtained evidence

plosion. A number of citizens of
German birth heretofore have been
allowed full liberty with the excep
tion that they were required to re
port once a month.
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.
