LINEN SHORTAGE ACUTE

Unions and Affection Goods Repac-
ing Linens for Household Use.
The linen situation shows no i'm.
provement. Reports from Irish sour
| ces are to the effect that the flax sup
ply continues inadequate, with indica-
tons that the shortage will grow
more acute in the near future. This,
of course. affects the spinpcrs, whose
ability to produce yarns is limited
partly by the flax supply and partly
by the shortage of labor caused by
the calling of many men to the
colors.
AS an example of the attitude of
the manufacturer and his agent today
we may cite the following incident
which occurred one day last week.
The head OF large chain of hotels,
who spends approximately 100000
per year for household linens, endeav
ored to duplicate his order, which
had always been given to a certain
Belfast house. The representative of
the Belfast concern called on the

this being promptly declined, the
manager began to bid When he got
to 80 per cent advance over last
years figures he stopped and said,
We'll, man, what are you going to
do? How much will the stuff cost
me?" Belfast man begged for time
TO stop and think. He feared that
any order he took would be turned
down, but he did not dare TO pass up
an order as big as the one in ques.

He finally said he would accept the
offer professionally, at an advance of
65 per cent over last years figures
the buyer TO await confirmation from
the mill To this the buyer demur-
red, saying he would think it over.
The mill man went away. happy in
the belief that he had evaded an or
der which his mill could not, or
would not fill without hurting the
customers feelings. IN the next
mornings mail however, he received
letter from the manager to the eff
feet that he would take the goods at
the advance of 65 per cent as provis-
ionally offered. He promptly cabled
the order with explanations to the
home office and the oruer nnaliy went
through. But those who know the
facts say it was accepted more for
the purpose of holding a good custo-
mer than for any other reason.

GREY DISCOURAGED SERBS
But Did Not Refuse Permission tc
Attack Bulears When Modifying

London, Nov 10.-The statement
recently attributed to a member of
the Serbian Cabinet that Serbia had
asked the Entente Powers in vain for
permission to attack Bulgaria before
Bulgarian mobilization was complete
was followed by question on this
subject in the House of Commons to-
day. The reply disclosed that appar-
emily the attitude of the Allies was
one of Encouragement of the propos
al, but that there was no actual refus
al of permission for the attack.
Answering the question, Lord Rob
ert Cecil Parliamentary Under Sec
rotary for Foreign Affairs, said in be-
half of the Foreign Office that Serbia
had pressed this view as the right
military policy. The Foreign Office
thought it was a matter of Serbia to
decide, and, therefore, sent no instruc
lions to the British Minister at Nish.
When, on Sept q, Serbia pressed
for an opinion, the Parliamentary
Under Secretary said, Sir Edward
Grey replied that all political and
diplomatic arguments were against
such action, but that he was no judge
of strategical consideration. AS far
as the British Foreign Secretary was
concerned, his spokesman declared,
there was no question of refusing per
mission

violation of the interstate commerce
law. It is claimed that Williams had
nothing to do with the dynamite
transaction, which occurred last Oc-

in the organization Davis went to the
federal authorities and made the
charge against Williams.
! Williams was arrested last SatuF-
day and later released through the
efforts of John D. Farrell, his attor-
ney, who claims that Davis had the
dynamite shipped from Newport
News to Chicago in the name of Ray
Williams, business agent. That when
the box containing conclusion caps
and 500 feet of fuse arrived in Chi
cago the notice was sent to Williams,
and Davis had Williams go to the
