 General increase of wages and the rapid increase of money in circulation are among the causes of high prices, but extTavagance is the paramount cause. Most housewives will pay three to four times as much for foods done up in fancy packages as they will for the same foods without the frills.'' Boston Labor Unions Join the Fight.
 Boston, Jan. 23.-Two labor unions, the Boston & Maine Freight Handlers assembly and local Teamsters union No. 6S. voted tonight to join the move ment for lowering the prices of meats. The assembly reviewed the fact that one year ago it petftioned congress for an investigation of the prevailing prices of the necessities of life.

RAPID WORK ON THE CANAL. Dredges Taking Out Wet Earth-Pros
 ress at the Gatun Dam.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Signs of the approaching completion of the Panama canal are manifested in the summary of the work done-on that great project last year.
 The canal record, just received, shows that during the year more than 35,000,- 900 cubic yards of material were re- than the record for 1908 A reason for this decrease is found in the fact that the field of operations in dry excava- tion has been narrowed by the compile tion of the work in certain sections, while in the west excavations the work has become more difficult owing to the depth obtained by the dredges.
 Meanwhile great progress is being nous locks at Gatun, where 2,000 yards of concrete were placed in a single day.

The Peers and the Irishmen will Dominate the
 Next Parliament
ENGLISH PARTIES LIKELY TO BE TIED
Never Have They Pound themselves in the Position They are in Today-Neither Party Anxious to Assume the Responsibility of Legislaton-John Redmond a Fig Almost Important the Premier.

One hundred and sixty-soven sdats remain to be filled of which lO2 are English In the last parliament these were; Unionist 36; liberal al. nation alist 16. Should the present trend or voting continue, neither the unlonlst8 nor the liberals can muster a majority of more than n dozen, and the nation alists with s3 votes will be wholly masters of the situation.
 Asquith Has Two Battles to Fight.
 The peers and the Irishmen will be the dominating forces of the next par liament. Premier Asquth has two bat ties to fight to reform the lords and to pass the budget which failed and tho budget for the coming year. Tho pros pect that both the peers and the ma tionalists will vote for the budgets is bright.
 The house of lords can be reformed only by a bill which the lords must swallow. The secretary may deny that the country has given a mandate for this. The unionists insist that the elec- tions have not proven that the country desires a change in the historic status of the upper house They agree that bare majority it not enough. No coun- try with a written constitution. such as the United States, they point out, can make such, changes by mere ma jority.
 NationaIists in Unique Position.
 The position of the nationalists is unique. With them all questions are subservient to home rule. The tariff reformers claim that the Irish are all protectionists, if they could vote that issue without complications. . The na- tionalists in the last parliament de- clared against the budget principally because they were opposed Go increas- ed whiRlSey taxes, but they would prob ably help it through the next house as a measure of political strategy. Home Rule May Be Delayed Next
 Session.
 Home rule is not likely to get far next session, according to well versed politicians, because the reform of the house of lords, which the prime min ister has written at the head of his programme, promises a great struggle John Redmond, leader of the nation alists, will be n figure almost aa im- portant as the premier because Mr. Asqufth can do nothing without him.

woRkINeMEN's CIRCLE.
Conference Wanted on United States
 Steel Manifesto.

At a meeting of Workingmen's cir cle, branch No. 12S, in Swatzburg hall, on Sunday evening, Morris Taft chair man, a committee of four was ap- pointed to see the leaders of all the local unions and of the socialist party to arrange for a conference on the manifesto against the United States Steel corporation sent out by the na- tional lodge of the Amalgamated As socfation of Iron, Steel and Tin Work CTS with a view to giving them all the aid that can be given locally. The committee includes N. s. Penfch, Myer Rich, K. Raisin and Morris Taft.
 The meeting also voted to recom- mend to the general office of the Workingmen's circle that it have copy of this manifesto printed and dis tributed to all branches. The local branch offers it's hall, free of charge, if needed for the proposed meeting.
 There were two candidates proposed for membership and it was also voted to make a gift of books to the Otis library which are valued at about $40 and include works on science, history and English classics

London. Jan. 23.-Neyer in the rec oilection of the oldest politicians have the British parties been in such a per- picking position as they find them serves today and are likely to face when the next house of commons is organized. So evenly divided will be the membership of the next house, and so close is the popular vote, that the result of the elections for all practical purposes may be considered a tie.
 Do the People Demand Tariff Reform {?
 No human mind can divine which of the principal and different questions before the electors had the most in- fluence at the polls, or whether the results mean that the people demand tariff reforms, or are loyal to the lords or.anxious to reject Chancellor Lloyd Georges budget. or whether all three Of these have an equal effect Under these circumstances neither party wants the responsibility of attempting to legislate, and. since division must be so close, the unionists are better satisfied to be in opposition. than to have won by a very small majority.
 Predictions.
 Mir. Balfour's speeches show plainly that with the existing conditions he ernment. Premier Asquith would be equally pleased to escape the perils of plotting the party through the troubled waters. There are precedents for him to dSh tiiS hinS lO summon anOIneT leader to form the government, but no one expects him to haul down his flag. All the prophets make the pre- dicttion that the new cabinet will find itself in the minority within a year and that the country will plunge into another general election.
 How the Popular Vote Stands.
 The remarkable figures recorded at this stage of the balloting foreshadow clearly how nearly equal both the pop ular vote and the membership of the house of commons will be divided be- tween the two great factions.
 The popular vote stands Union- ists 2,565.627: liberals 2,324,315; labor ites 395.115. This gives the united iIberal-labor party a majority of 153,- S03 in total vote of 5,2S5.157. Today the membership of the head of com mons is a tie. the unionists and the combined liberal and labor party each having elected 21S representatives.

MANN WERE WATCHING
 THE DRAKE COMET
Most Brilliant Seen in Thirty Years Visible Above Western Horizon in Early Evening.

Comet gazing was an occupation that made an interesting hour for a number of Norwich people on Sunday evening between 5.30 and 6.30 o'clock, as one of these wanderers of the sky was discovered low down near the western horizon at that time. It was the Drake comet, discovered in South Africa on January 16th, and is the brightest that has been seen in 30 years, being of the first magnitude. Many who saw the come thought it was the Haley cAmet. but that is directly overhead at that time in the evening and is between Mars and Sat urn at the present time.
 The Drake comet, visible Sunday night. was between Venus and the horizon. little diagonally to the right of the star and low down. It will probably be visible for two or three weeks, a little later each night, and moving three degrees to the north each day.
 Leon Campbell of the Harvard fac ulty, was in the city, and observing the comet with some of the local as- tronomers
 He is a specialist on variable stars and has written a number of books on the subject.
 The comet is also known as Comet "A 1910.'

NEW ENGLAND RIVERS
 ASSUME FRESHET STAGES.
Great Damage Caused in Many Places
 Dam Swept Away.

Boston, Jan. 23.-Down from the hills is coming much of the winters ac- cumulation of snow, melted into water by a January thaw," and augmented by the recent rains is causing New England rivers to assume freshet stages. In many places these floods have caused damage
 At Easthampton, Mass, a dam was swept away, a gas house and a black smith shop foated away, and other buildings were undermined. The dam age is estimated at s25, 1000. It Is doubt full if several mills there will be able to resume work tomorrow. They were closed yesterday.
 The tributary streams of the Con- necticut river in southern Vermont have gone on a rampage, and many roads in the vicinity of Brattleboro are impossible because of ice and water The lighting plant at West Drummer stan has been rendered useless Sew eral houses there have fioated away.
 At Pownal Vt, and surrounding vl- lages food conditions prevail. Farm CTS were forced to use boats yesterday and today between their homes and barns. The trolley service there is demoraIized.
 An ice-crested freshet swept away the uncompleted southerly span of the new bridge of the Maine Central rail- road across the Kennebec river at Skowhegan today. The Kennebec river is clear of ice up to Madison.
 On the Connecticut and Merrimac rivers, with a rise of five feet of wa ter, there can be no immediate re- sumption of the ice cutting.

GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATION,
 PACKERS ALL READY
Inquiry to SurPass All Former At
 tempts for Thoroughness.

Chicago. Jan. 23.-With the heads of all the big packing houses gathered here and attorneys arrayed on each side, the governments investigation of the dressed meat industry is expected to be ready for action when the fed eraI grand jury c6nvenes tomorrow.
 Whether the price of meat is arti- fciaIly kept high is to be the conten- tion in a contest which may last for weeks.
 Subpoenas have been prepared to bring before the jury witnesses from all departments of the packing house business. It is promised this inquiry will surpass all former attempts for tlhorou ghness.
 The packers are ready for combat.
 All I have to say,' said J. Ogden Armour, 'is that such cooperation. as may exist among the packers is a benefit to the public rather than the reverse.''
 Three lines of action have been out lined. These are:
 Criminal prosecution for alleged vio- Iation of the antitrust law.
 Civil action for the dissolution of the National Packing company.
 Contempt proceedings for alleged violation of Judge Grosscup's injunc- ton restraining the packers from fix ing prices in restraint of trade.

PRESIDENTS SKILL MATTRESSES
 THE MINORITY.
IRVING TO BEAT DEMOCRATS
Out of Any Prospect of Controlling
 Next House-President Daily Gain
 ing Supporters for His Programme.

Washington, Jan. 23-Activity such as seldom, if ever, before has been dis played by committees so nearly in the first session of a regular congress is now in evidence in both wings of the capital. Although there are practical ly three parties, the regular" repub- HcanS, the inSurgent republicans and the democrats manoeuvring for po- Htfcal advantage, there are signs on every hand that President Taft, both steering his characteristic middle of the road" course is daily gaining sup porters for his legislative programme.
 President Shows His Skill.
 T'-e skill shown-by the president in of the ruling party, and the knack he has exhib bited in completing the aid of both in his fight for the redemption of party ledges has noticeably impressed the democratic minority. In the house there are indications that the threat ened fusion of democrats and 'insur- gent republicans on several 1egisla- tive questions is now little feared by the majority.
 Democratic View.
 f'Taft is trying to beat the demo- crats out of any prospect of controlling the next house." remarked a prominent democratic leader of the senate yes- terday, speaking frankly to his col leagues of bothRartieS in a committee session considering an administration bill. "If it were not for the way he is knocking republican heads together and making them fall into line for ad- vanced egislatfon-democratic 1egisla- tiOn if you please-we would get you fellows sure" predicted this minority leader, addressing the republicans present.
 The senator was talking to men who had just agreed upon the principle of piece of western legielation that ad- few of them favored at heart. The incident furnishes a. good iilustra- tion of the present congressional sit 1a
