HIGH COST OF MEAT
Forces 5000 Jewish Butchers in New
York to Close Their Shops.

New York. June H.-Six thousand jew
ish butchers in New York, who deal ex-
clusively in kosher meats, have decided
TO close their shops until the present
price of meat products has been lowered
by the wholesale dealers. This decision
was reached, late today, at meeting of
nearly 1900 members of the United Retail
Kosher Butchers Protective Association
of Greater New York. Their action di-
rectiy affects more than 100000 Jewish
residents of the city.
The decision was reached after Jewish
women of the East Side had announced
that until the price of meat was lowered
they would boycott all kosher butchers.
1t was announced that the butcher
shops would remain closed until the
wholesalers reduced their prices and that
the closing of shops had been decided
upon in order TO show the women that
the fault of the high prices did not lie
with the retailers.

Titanic Inquiry
IsResumed, Friday.

London. June 1.-THE Board of
Trade inquiry into the Titanic disaster
at its resumption. today, was occupied
with the ground to be covered in the
speeches of counsel Lord Mersey, the
presiding Judge. intimated his regret
that the certificate of Capt. Lord, OF
the Californian. which failed TO at
tempt to go to the rescue of the pas
sengers of the Titanic, was beyond
his reach. He said:
Il do not suppose | have jurisdic-
ton to direct that Captain Lords Ger
tificate should be dealt with. II | take
a view adverse to the conduct of the
captain of the Californian, all can do
is to express my opinion"
Sir Rufus Isaacs, the attorney gen
eral. assented, but asked Lord MerseY
to express his views in regard to the
evidence on the subject of the Cali
fornian.
Sir Rufus also remarked that the con-
duct of Sir Cosmo and Lady Duff-Gordon
was immaterial to the present inquiry
except as it related, to the conduct of
G. Svmonds, the Titanic lookout, who
had charge of the lifeboat in which they
were rescued, and the suggestion which
appeared to lie beneath Fireman Charles
Hendrickson's statement about bribery
to prevent the lifeboat returning to the
sinking ship. Lord Mersey expressed the
opinion that the question of ]. Bruce Is
mays conduct was only material to the
extent TO which It might have influenced
improperly Captain Smith OF the Titanic.

served written notice upon the sheriff
and MAYOR, this afternoon, that the
company would hold the city and
county liable for any damage infiict-
ed by rioters upon it's plant or en-
pIoyes.
A hull followed the rioting of this
afternoon. Tonight. the strikers as
sembled 1000 strong or more in groups
a mile along the roadway.
There are now approximately 1000
men and women on strike at six
plants here. The strike which started
with the walk-out of 1900 men at the
refinery because they were not grant
ed an increase of % cents a day, now
embraces the following plants: Perth
Amboy Cigar Co, 1900 women: Bar
Der Asphalt Works, 900 men, stand
ard Underground Gable Co. 1000 men:
Atlantic Terra Gotta Co, $50 men; II
Rosenthal Handkerchief Co, 500 wo-
men and 50 men.
The strikers in all cases demand an
increase in wages without the usual
demand for recognition Of the union.
AT the refinery there appears to be
no labor organization among the
workers. The same situation is said
| TO prevail al most of the other FIVE
plants although organizers of the

Industrial Workers of the World
claim, that there are many union
workers among the employees.

row, this afternoon, the Harvard Var
sity eight eaualled the record on the
Thames river made by the Yale crew
of 1888. which went over the annie
course in 20 minutes. and 10 seconds.
The record is the more remarkable IN
view of the fact that the crew rowed
up stream, while the Yale record was
made down stream, with conditions
more favorable. There was southern
wind blowing across the course, today.
and for the first mile, there was a long
swell from the harbor, which was
somewhat of a handicap.
