UP THE PRICES GO.
supply Is Small, Demand Is Great"
Says the Meat Dealers.

New York, March 2:.-Prices Of meal
were advanced on an aVerac: Of five
cents pound by most retail dealers
in The city yesterday in consequence
Of increases Of from One-hGlf 20. lwC
cents pound in wholesale prices
This is one of the most radical adj
Vances on record mere.
Persons with hearty appctites need
exnect no relief in the immediate fu-
ture. Representative packers and
wholesale dealers said yesterday that
the tendency of prices was upward be-
cause the shortage OF livestock was
greater than in previous years.
Tie supply is short" SAID one
packer, land the demand is better
Since the meat strike Detered out"
Prices may continue TO advance,
said another. "'rhere is nothing to pre-
vent it unless people stop eating meat
again. There is a shortage in lambs
any ham or bacon to speak Of Future
prices will depend on the supply and
the supply is short"
1t seems to be the general opinion
that the poor will find the burden OF
the present advance heavier than on
former occasions, because prices of
chuck steak, soup meat and breast
meat have increased proportionately
with those of the choicer cuts. AL
though some retailers will not advance
their prices for a day or two, chuck
steak generally has gone up from IA
to IS cents a pound and soup meat
from ~ to IA cents, while breast meat
which used to be II to IL cents, cannot
now always be had even for 20 cents.
Many women have had to reduce their
purchases of meat, or, what amounts
to the same thing, take less for their
money, and exc out the family meal
with vegetables and bread. The re-
tailers claim that their profit is less
than formerly. as an 500 pound steer
yields only $50 pounds Of saleable meat
and they have to pay the higher price
on the $50 pounds of meat.

Beginning OF End in
:. Philadelphia Strike.

Philadelphia, March 23.-Wth thf
decision Of the state labor organiza-
lions not to declare a sympathetic
strike, and the return to work Of many
of the sympathetic strikers in this city
the situation has settled down to
question CT endurance between the
striking carmen and the Philadelphia
Ha:.id Transit Co.
The company now has all its lines
in operation except the subway sur
face cars and a few other lines which
are paralleIed by cars in operation. OF
fcials claim tnat 1900 cars are in
operation. The secretary of the Steret
Garments Union, however, insisted to-
night that the greatest number of cars
operated in a single day since the be-
ginning of the strike was $50. He says
that there are only 100 members of the
keystone Union, the members Of which
remained loyal to the company ana
1hat even with the imported strike
breakers. the company still needs 44o'
men.
Philadelphia, March 23.-At mass
meeting of the striking motormen anc
conductors this afternoon. the attitude
Of their leaders in refusing to accept
the proposition made by the RAPID
Transit Co. through Mayor Reyburn
was endorsed and it was voted not 10

agrees to give the men back their old
runs, thereby preserving their rights
Of seniority.
q. O. Pratt, the national organizer.
told the carmen net to worry about
symnattetic strikers who were return
ing to work in such large number. He
said it was best for them to go back
and give the carmen their financial
support.
A special conference Of the depart
ment chiefs was ncld in the mayors
office in the City hall today at which
il was decided to introduce in councils
tomorrow a bill appropriating $4,000
to pay the special policemen who nave
been on duty during the strike and
100000 for incidental expenses due to
the strike.
AS the settlement of the street car
mems troubles continues to be delayed
the leaders of the general sympathetic
strike are finding 1t harder and harder to
keep their followers in line. The textile
workers in Kensington, who together
with the members of the Allied Building
Trades formed the backbone of the gen.
cral strike, resumed work today. The
textile unions represent about $1,000 per-
sons.
The resolutions calling upon their MEM
bers to return today to work stated that
the textile workers had stood Loyalty to-
gether since the beginning of the sympa-
thetic strike and had made all the sacri-
fees necessary or that could be expected
of them. The textile workers pledged the
carmen their moral and financial support
and agreed to refrain from patronizing
the trolley cars until the strike has ended.

DISCARDED AUTO ENGINE.
Interesting Story of the First Pail
SADIE Automobile.

Everybody around Palisade renem-
bers George Roedele's first automobile.
1t was little two-seated one-cylinder
Cadillac, and it went chug-chuging
around the streets for a couple Of sea-
sons, then went the way of many an
other of that type before it.
Mr.. Roedeles finally bought the hand
some little Mitchell-Twenty, and the
Cadillac was relegated to the cold stor-
age.
1t finally fell into the hands of a
Russian named Mokowski, who owns
a fourfamily brick house several
blocks west of Anderson avenue.
down in the woods where few people
hereabouts ever knew of its existence.
He took the engine from the old auto
and rugged it up to his well, and having
no water in that part OF the balliwick,
he made a cistern on the roof, connected
the pipes, and to this day the discarded
auto engine pumps all the water for the
four families from the well.
Not only this, but Mokowski has an
easy time in other ways. This same
little engine makes itself useful by
saving all the wood needed for the
house. Thus the words Of Solomon.
that nothing is wasted, comes home
in the story OF the discarded auto
engine.

A NUTTY STORY.
William Hollinger Answers An Ad-
vertisement for Nuts.

William Hollinger is a great lover
of nuts as food product Stand
treat with him and, and if you pay
in nuts, make it peanuts, pecans, fl
anything, and its all right. He
loves nuts like a squirrel
Naturally anything about nuts
catches his eye. The other day an
advertisement met his gaze 1t was
about nuts Send $780," the adver-
tisement said, and we send the rest"
naming several varieties of nuts, mar
melades, etc, the whole to weigh three
pounds, a fair price, but the nuts were
to be of superior quality.
Imagine his surprise, therefore,
when the nuts were delivered in a
fancy package. but shy in weight just
a pound and half OF course, being
a New York concern, an exchange Of
compliments was made over the tele-
phone and the missing deficit in nuts
was supplied. The point to be con
sidered is, is short weights getting to
be a habit?

TWO CHICKEN STORIES.
One from New Jersey, Other from
New Foundland=Both Good

Carl Frank was telling his friends
around town last week this one on
a New Jersey farmer:
A farmer was just getting his
wagon on the ferry boat as Edge
water the other day when one of the
deck hands spied bantam rooster
sitting on the K of the wagon tree
underneath
"Say," said Joe, the Italian deck
hand, that where you carry your
chickens?"
Don't understand you" replied the
farmer
well, look under your wagon and
you will see"
And there, sure enough, sat a little
rooster as complacent1y as you please.
He had gone the roost the night be-
fore in that spot, and when the far
mer left that morning from his home
at Dumont, twelve miles away, the
bird from the barnyard concluded to
stick to his perch, and there's were
he was found by the hawk-eyed deck
hand. The farmer took the rooster
out and procured bag, in which the
runaway was taken back home, for,
said he, 81 wouldn't sell that chicken
for two dollars I think I'll put him
in training and sell him to a show"
