NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-New York
Citys fight to reduce the high cost of
living began in earnest today with a
boycott on eggs by thousands of house
wives This was followed with direct
appeal by the National Housewives
league to President Wilson for the reg
ulation of the country's food supply. and
meetings of federal, state and city Of
ficials and investigating committees. as

ing to grade. The average price Tor
fresh eggs was So cents as compared
with 55 a year ago, The price OF fresh
eggs showed no change from yesterday.
Some of the wholesale dealers assert
ed that the boycott would play into
the hands Of foreign buyers. They said
that men VINO want eggs for export are
waiting for a reduction in price An
Official daily report issued for the bene-
fit of produce dealers said:
storage eggs are lower under re-
duction of speculative support and a dis
position on the part of the distributing
trade to hold off and use the stock on
hand"
The Housewives league today con-
tinued active missionary work to dis
courage the use of eggs. One method is
an endless chain of telephone appeals.
One woman called up twenty-five OF her
friends, asked them to abstain from
eggs for two weeks and then asked
each of these twenty-five to call twenty
five of her women friends and deliver
the same message.
Virtually every branch of the munich
pal government was at work today in an
effort to find a solution to the food

Seattle Wash.-Thc Seattle Munich
pal News is excited because President
FuruSeth OF the International Seamen' 5
Union advised striking longshoremen
to ignore an injunction issued by a
federal judge. This publication thund-
crs about Furuseth's "mistake' and the
necessity OF obcying the law Editor
Ault OF the Union Record accepts the
challenge for law enforcement in this
clcar-cut reply:
"If any mistake has been made it has
been i'll the act OF the longshorcmen in
admitting the jurisdiction OF the court
i'll the first place, and voluntarily ap-
pearing to attempt to show cause why
an injunction should not be granted.
What Furuseth pointed out was that
matters relating to work and wages and
the actions of human beings we're coy
cred by the law and infractions of the
law should be dealt with in courts OF
law. The plea for an Injunction and the
issuance OF an injunction takes the mat
ter out OF the realm OF law into that OF
equity, which deals with matters of
property.
"Furuseth contended, and rightly,
that the courts OF equity had no iuris-
diction in the case that it has arro-
gated to itself-of course in line with
precedent, but none the less unjustly-

ADJUSTMENTS

The return to Cincinnati OF the dis
tinguished comedian, Mr.. Lew Fields
always comes as a welcome announce
ment to the patrons OF the Lyric The
ater. lie will appear at this playhouse
in his musical comedy success, "Ster
This Way" on Sunday night, October
20, and remain the entire week, with the
usual matinees on Wednesday and Sat
urday. Step This Way" is Jolly al
fair, with a typical Lew Fields cast and
chorus. The central figure is that OF
a multiplied millionaire" as Lew
Fields calls him, one Henry Schniff, -
who, in the hands of the star, mmed-
ately becomes an unique characterize
ton. AS usual, the part possesses all OF
those elements which permit the great
comedian all possible latitude in his fun
making. "Schniff' is at once stingy
and lavish, a crouch and the essence OF
his lips are wreated in smiles in fact,
he is one OF those lovable beings at
whom one laughs and at the same time
is sorry for. To portray such role
successfully is the height OF genius, and
Lew Fields has reached the summit for
which he has been striving for forty
years. The action OF Step This Way"
takes place in London. The first act
transpires i'll huge department store
whittier the "Schniffs' have gone to
shop. Every shilling spent by
"Hcnry's' extrtvagant wife produces a
throb OF pain in the region OF his purse
Presently the comedian is mistaken for
detective and forced to 90 on watch
for shopifters. No end OF amusing
complications result; and act second
finds Lew Fields still on the Job. This
time the scnee depicts II swagger garden
party at the Jardin de Paris, and poor
'Schniff' wandcrs in and out OF the
many funny situations, adding trials
and tribulationS to his lot every time
he appears, Step This Way" has
fascinating musical setting, and the
various numbers are in the hands OF
such clever entertainers as Gladys
Clark and Henry Bergman, Marguerite
Farrell, Elizabeth Wood, Alice Fischer,
Sam Dody, Edward Bassi Vaughn
Trevor and Charles Mitchell A won
dcriul chorus OF stunning girls and
handsome young chaps will be in evi-
dcnce, and an imported dancing octette
called The Eight High Steppers' will
appear in terpschorean novelties. 1t
goes without saying that the stage set
tngs are wonderfully brilliant affairs,
while the costuming is something to
marvel at. The usual popular matinee
will be given on Wednesday, at which
seats will be sold for ST. Regular matt
