With no prospects Of resumption of

BOYCOTT OF MEATS
OFFICIALLY AT AN END
Price Advanced During Strike
Though Foodstuffs
Fell.

CLEVELAND, March 16.-The official
death of the meat strike was announced
today. but there was nobody to bury and
no requiem services. Long since the
strike movement had ceased to be q
force, although its leaders will not say
that II was barren OF results.
Two months ago the movement was
started by Fred w. Sebelin OF this city,
who suggested that sixty-day abstinence
pledges be signed as a blow at the in
creased cost of living.
Meat was the target although other
articles of food were not overlooked The
plan spread over the country. and for a
week two fiourished. Then it sputter-
ed and burned out.
When the meat strike" began the
price of beef was six cents Wholesale
Today it is Z cents to ~ cents. Hogs
jumped from cents to II cents Eggs
fell from IS cents to II cents, and butter
is 33 cents, a fall of 3 cents. Potatoes
are 10 cents bushel lower.
The net result has been an avalanche
of investigation but no new legisla ton
is reported from any state. Prices still
are high.
Thousands OF persons boycotted meat
for a while. and many small shops were
closed because of lack oc business. but
trade reports indicate that few adhered
to no-meat diet.

VAN NORDEN NOT THERE

Indictments Not Dismissed, But
Prisoners Relieved Of Heavy

NEW YORK, March 16.-Warner M

seas, and consequently did not appear to.

Williams, the two women he accuses OF
holding him up on the street and robbinG
him of $4,000.
In view OF the fact, which his attorney
admitted, that Mr.. Van Norden did not
expect to return from Europe for six
months. the women were discharged from
the 10000 bail bonds In which each had
been held since shortly after their arrest
January q.
The district attorney was willing that
the women be released on their heavy
bonds. He opposed the motion for a dis
missal of the indictment.
The motion to dismiss was supported by
an aff1davit OF Bessie Roberts, in which
she said:
II am convinced that the sole reason
why the complainant is not in court and
has left the jurisdiction is because he
dare not face the trial Of this Indictment
against me and because he knows l am
innocent of the charge which he has
wrongfully made against me-
Counsel for Van Norden said the latter
was willing and anxious to press the
charges, but that the state Of his health
compelled his staying in Europe for the
next six months. Judge Rosalsky refused
to dismiss the indictments.

BILL MEETS WITH FAVOR.
CIVIL SERVICE RETIREMENT
PLAN TO BE REPORTED.
Special Provision Made for Superan-
nuated Employees Of the Depart
ments-0ther Features.

According to Representative Gillett o.
Massachusetts. chairman Of the House
committee on reform in the civil service,
civil service retirement bill will be
favorably reported to the House in the
near future. Last session the committee
reported out measure which in gen.
eral way provided for retirement, but the
measure which it is expected to lay be-
fore Congress this year has been amended
in many important particulars.
An age limit of seventy. with certain
notifications possible in the discretion OF
the President, is fixed by the Gillett bill,
which also contains provision for past
service payment by which superannuated
employees less than seventy years old
contribute the fixed percentage Of their
salary between the time Of the passage
of the act and the attainment of the sew
enty years of service, the government to
pay the pension after that on the same
basis as If the employe had been contrib
uting his percentage all those years.
Superannuated Employees.
There is special provision in the bill
for superannuated employees. and a line Of
distinction as to the retirement limit be-
tween such services as are performed by
railway clerks and departmental en-
ployes.
The proposed retirement of those clerks
who have spent their lifetime in the pub
lie service is in line not only with the rec
concentrations of the President, caDinet
officers and bureau chiefs, but also with
the systems already inaugurated In big
corporations all over the country.
1t is possible that a meeting OF the conf
mittee on reform in the civil service Will
be called Saturday to take action on the
retirement bill
Advocates of civil service retirement
say there should be no question OF the
passage of the bill. They contend 1t Is
unfair to say that there would be toe
much expense involved in the plan, partic-
ularly in view of the fact that Congress
has not hesitated to appropriate millions
of dollars for the Senate and House office
the President, Vice President. Speaker
and members Of the two houses OF Con-
gress and to provide for increased COM
pensation all along the line except in this
one direction desired.
Clerks Not Considered.
Clerks in the government departments,
they say, are underpaid and without rep
resentatives to speak for them. the most
conspicuous instance OF neglect upon the
part of the government. They point to
the action of big establishments like the
Pennsylvania railroad and other corpora
tons, both here and abroad, in providing
for faithful employees. Particularly should
something be done in Washington. 1t is
insisted, owing to the present high and In
creasing cost OF living in the National
Capital.
