INCREASE INLIVING EXPENSES
(From War Cry, February I2.)

! (From War Cry, February II!
No body of Christian Workers is
more closely in touch with the condi-
lions among the poor than the Saliva
ton Army, and it stands to reason that
The Army is deeply interested in the
agitation to lower the price of house
hold commodities now going. on.
Wherever the blame for the terrible
increase in living expenses should or
should not be placed, it seems that the
limit with regard to exorbitant charges
has been reached, and we shall hail any
| legal and moral movement that will
promise success in bringing them to
somewhere near normal condition.
It will be interesting to the War Cry
readers to know that while housewives
are being driven by the high prices to
boycott meat here is what the Ice and
Refrigeration Blue Book says is being
held in cold storage:
Fourteen million cattle.
Six million calves
twenty-five million sheep and lambs.
Fifty million hogs.
According to these figures from the
official guide-book circulated only
among the cold-storage men, there is
in storage one entire animal for each
adult in the United States, with enough
whole animals left over to give two to
each family.
This meat is being held in $50 cold
storage plants. In addition it may in
terest the worried housekeeper to know
that in seventy-eight fsh-freezing
plants in the country there are fish wait
ing to be doled out that are valued at
100000.
In other co1d-storage plants during
any year now, according to the storage
mems own statistics, the struggling
wage-earner will find:
I,8oo,ooo,ooo eggs.
100000 pounds of poultry.
Fruits valued at $5ooooooo.
Then, besides, there are millions of
pounds of potatoes, onions, thousands
OF turtles, cells, cases of canned goods,
and milk, butter and cheese valued at
500, 100000.
At Washington, bill has been offer
ed in Congress already forbidding the
retention of meat, fish, poultry, butter,
eggs, or other food products in cold
storage for more than six months Sup
porters of the bill assert that its passage
r1uid mean an immediate ending OF
prices fixed to suit the food kings with
out relation to natural conditions.
A similar bill has just been offered
in the Assembly at Albany, and it is re-
ported that a legislative committee will
visit New York to secure testimony
regarding the cold storage conditions
In Albany there is one large storage
house, from which, dealers say, comes
nearly one-half of the eggs used in
this city.

Leavenworth. - Several hundred
convicts, twelve of whom are former
bankers, are eagerly looking forward
to the meeting of the board Of parole,
which is expected TO convene here
early in November. At this time the
board will consider applications for
parole.
There are forty members in the
bankers colony, and some have such
short time to serve they have not ap-
piled for their freedom, preferring to
serve their time rather than be re-
leased under parole. Among those
who are eligible to receive the bene-
fits of the law are Frank Bigelow Of
Milwaukee: j. l.. Broderick, Elkhart,
Ind: G. A. Consman, Terre Haute,
Ind; Fred Lubbe, Indianapolis; w.
IA. Schmidt and S. G. Braunard,

system provides that every prls-
oner who has served one-third OF his
total sentence and whose record
shows he has observed the rules OF
the prison may be paroled at the dis
erection of the board.

WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC
GOVERNMENT TO MAKE An
RESTS THROUGHOUT COUN-
TRY ON CERTAIN DAY.
DETAILS SECRET SERVICE
Nets viii Be Thrown Out to Catch
Ones Higher Up" Who Have
Evanded Mann Law Gir,s Coming
Into the Country VIII Be Watched.

Washington.-The secret service
! division of the department OF JUS
| tice is perfecting plans for n coun-
try-wide net TO enmesh men and
women engaged in the white slave
! traffic.
Attorney General Wickersham has
detailed to the work men engaged
In the bucketshop and custom frauds
Investigations. The district attor-
neys in all the large cities have been
notified to render assistance. State
legal officers will be asked 20 join in
the crusade.
The government will make its
roundup by striking simultaneously
In the larger cities of the country.
Investigations are under way in New
York, Philadelphia. Chicago, New
Orleans, Seattle and San Francisco.
Reports received by the department
tend to show that the guiding minds
in this Legitimate traffic are 10 be
found in these cities. When the
government is prepared to make ar
rests it will pick up the suspects in
these cities on the same day.
District Attorneys Whitman OF
New York and Sims Of Chicago have
reported TO the attorney general that
the white slave traffic has been
increasing in their respective ter
ritories during recent months.
Efforts have been made both in
New York and in Chicago to stamp
out the business and there have been
some prosecutions. 1t has been ac-
knowedged that the men and
women higher up" have not been
caught. It was hoped at the de-
partment OF justice that the Mann
law, enacted at the last session or
congress, which prescribes severe
penalties for interstate traffic in
women, would have a deterrent ct
feet on the business and send most
of those engaged in the business into
other pursuits. This does not seem
to have been the case.
Agents of the department Of JUS
VICE are w w s'uI IAtO ip''A5H ,'""
tries to study the character Of the
female immigrants and port immi-
grafton officials will be instructed to
closely watch for unattended female
arrivals, so that their destinations
may be learned.
Reports are TO be made to the de-
partment of justice and inyestiga-
lions will be had TO see if such f.
males have reached safely their re-
ported destination. The district at
.orncys say their information is that
many OF these females are lost sight
IF as soon as they leave the ships.
They fall into the clutches of the
dealers and are hidden away until
it is safe to ship them into the
white slave" market.
