SOQGn, vice pr6SlQSnL OIL LQ6 ASSOC
citation, conferred with a committee
of ward chairmen yesterday. Other
organizations were represented at the
conference. The Woman's Party of
Cook County will take hand. Reso-
lutions passed by its board of direct
ors call on for falling price-raisers.
Aid. Lawley, who has called a
meeting of the municipal markets
commission for next Monday, gives
out a comparison of prices of food
sold at cost at the city store last
winter and the present war prices.
Sugar, now 711a cents, was then Az
cents. Beans, now ~, were sold by
the city for 31a. A 241a-pound bag
of flour, now selling at IS cents, was
sol dby the city for So cents. It is
not expected that the city can resume
these prices and relieve the unem-
ployed and distressed. But the inten-
ton is to find a way of bucking the
food gamblers.
To quiet the clamor which has
started because of fierce prices and
the steady upward showing of living
cost, the biggest business interests of |
Chicago issued cool, calm statements |
telling the people to wait. ]. Ogden
Armour says the farmer should be |
blamed for not shipping hogs and
cattle in. Marshall Field & Co. an
-nounce the cotton, silk and wooden |
industries will be up against hard |
game because dyestuffs come from
Germany.
= "a federal board with power to |
control meat prices would be a boon
to the citizens of Chicago" said |
Charlotte Rhodus of the Woman's |
Party of Chicago.
Regulation would do us a lot of |
good.
"a board would be valuable only If |
composed of persons not liable to |
bribery, for the meat trust would do |
all possible to buy high prices once |

footed men from the undertaken shop
with their maddening airs OF sympa-
thy; the Over-powering scent OF tube
roses and lilies of the valley; the
sitting pail of crepe wells; the har-
rowing notes of music and the long
sermon wherein the minister drew a
moral for the unregenerated from the
blameless life of the deceased. Uncle
John has been put away las the
quaint mountaineers of the South
say from mortal ken.
Poor Aunt, Mary! Never before did
l realize how barbarous are our fun
eral ceremonies. When my dear
mother died l was too young to I'M
derstand that there might be any
thing else than the usual way OF bid
ding goodbye to those we love best.
But as l sat beside dear Aunt Mary
with her trembling hand in mine and
felt her shrink and shudder when the
hymns began and heard her sobs as
the minister referred to her as 'wid-
owed and childless" it seemed to me
that all this was like sticking knife
into an old wound and turning it
around.
Aunt Mary whispered to me: Send
all the flowers you can to the hospital,
dear, so at least some poor tortured
living being will be gladdened by the
sight and odor of blossoms that were
sent to. honor lifeless clay!
The modest line of carriages were
filled with neighbors and friends.
Aunt Mary could afford to spend
much on the obsequies of Uncle John,
but she asked that they should be as
simple as possible.
AS we entered the cemetery we met
another procession headed by band
playing a funeral dirge. Following
were vehicles filled with flowers and
then innumerable carriages filed
with men, women and children. All
these were poorly dressed, and Dick

Aunt Mary looked up with the first
CLEAN of interest in life she had
shown since Uncle Johns death, and
as we descended from the carriage
she glanced to a cheaper part of the
cemetery where, about the open
grave, stood a group of people, evil
still playing dolefully
Then her grief overpowered her
and Dick had to fairly carry her to
the place reserved for the last rite
of all.
But now it is all over. We have
returned to the house from which
kind friends have already banished all
signs of death and dissolution.
Aunt Mary went Immediately to
her room and l knew she wanted to
be alone. Dick began to plan about
getting back and l sighed as 1
thought how hard it would be for me
to stay here while knew Dick was
home
Just then dear Aunt Mary came in
and said: "Margie, have been think
ing of that other poor woman we saw
at the cemetery today and l want
Dick to go Immediately and find out
if it be true that she is paying out all
her little hoard to give her husband "a

to pay all those expenses for her.

than is necessary"
| just took that little woman in my
arms and kissed her.
Aunt Mary may not be scientifically
phiIanthropic, but she is regular hu-
man being.

TAKE BURNED BODIES FROM
THE GROUND-29 DEAD
Trinidad, COL, April 24.-Twenty-
nine are now dead as a result of the
war between the militia and the strik-
ing miners in the Colorado coal fields
and their bodies lie in the morgue
Nineteen will be buried today in one
big funeral.
The strikers released the prisoners
in the Empire mine yesterday, but ].
w. Sipple, president of the company,
with twenty of his men, refused to
surrender.
I'VE told them we'd protect them
if they'd come out and give up their
guns" declared Strike Leader Sny-
der, who led the party that bore the
offer of release to the prisoners.
"Sipple said he'd talk it over with his
men,"
The work of taking the charred
bodies of the wives and children of
the miners out of the ruins of the
tents fired, it is declared, by the mill
tia, was CHASTITY.
Eleven women and two children
were taken from the death cellar at
Ludlow, where they we're held trap
ped by the guns of the militiamen in
Mondays fight.
The cellar is ten feet deep and at
the bottom less than six feet square.
In this hole lay the bodies, heaped
together. The mothers, Mrs. Chas.
TOcto oDd NJrc c Cboun1 had owl
IDENTIFY tried to shelter with their
bodies their helpless little ones. But
the bodies, one of them II days old,
struggled when the suffocating
smoke -crept down. Their little hands,
SCARED by the flames, showed how
they had reached out, trying to pull
themselves from the flames.

the Ludlow strikers leader, and that
he would wipe out the colony there
some day.
This committee twice asked Cover
nor Ammons to remove Lenderfelt
and Ammons twice disregarded the
requests.
Upon Elias Ammons, governor of
Colorado, rests the blame for this
awful slaughter.
Ammons is out of the state now.
John Chase, his adjutant general, is
rushing more ammunition and rein
forcements to the gunner in order
that they continue the massacre.
Colorado people are very anxious
for me to write into my story that no
decent Colorado boys are now in the
militia on strike duty. The so-called
militia in the strike country are all
thugs and buns from the cities, many
of them gunner with penitentiary
records.
For the benefit of those who may
not understand the ''tent-colony" sit
uation, it should be stated that, when
this strike started, the miners, ex-
pecting eviction from company
houses, bought tents and set them up
on ground they leased themselves.
. Their purpose was to be on their
own property, where they could not
legally be molested or evicted.
They found that the poor and OPP
pressed have no legal rights as
against the oppressors. From the
start the tent colonies have been the
object of depredations by soldiers and
gunner.
Time and again the tent colonies
have been shot up in the night. Raids
have been made and tent ropes cut
Wells have been fouled, and this in
a country where water is as precious
as gold.
Ludlow is the largest tent colony.

That the battle is general is indi-

Details of the fighting are withheld.
The official bulletin merely states
that Mulhausen was evacuated fol-

German attack was checked in the
outskirts of the city.
This is the first news of a Ger

taken by the French it was claimed
by the Germans that they had retired
because the city was not fortified.
Today the United Press received a
despatch from Rome telling of the
situation in Germany. 1t announced
that the retirement was in pursuance
of pre-arranged plans Of the German

Little news is being received from

In this fighting the war office
