FOOD PRICES
GOING Up
Coal and Commodity Market
Dealers Advance Prices.
GO HIGHER IF STRIKE COMES

Milk Dealers Say That Whatever La
Dor Troubles Come They Will Be
Ready With Half the Regular Sup
ply.
Food prices in general throughout
Philadelphia went soaring because OF
the possibility OF a railroad strike on
Monday.
| Also, dealers predict further ad-
vance on Monday if the strike is called
| on tht day.
The retail coal dealers said they
would advance the price of coal fifty
cents on Monday If the strike were
called. Notwithstanding this prospec-
tive advance the retail price of coal,
| in conformity with custom, on Sep
tember l will be advanced ten cents.
Coal is scarce for this time OF the
year, it was declared, because many
miners have been lured from lured
from their jobs by high wages paid by
munitions plants.
With this depressing condition OF
affairs facing the consumer, cheering
news came from the milk dealers, who
announced that they had taken steps
to procure at least half their normal
supply by motor truck if the railroads
find it impossible to transport milk
in the quantities needed, thus assur-
ing milk for babies and hospitals,
strike or no strike.
Philadelphia, consuming some hall
million quarts of milk daily, must be
content with half that amount, 1t was
estimated.
Babies, children and sick folk who
drink approximately half the total con-
sumed in the city, will not suffer, as
the entire output, if necessary, will
be turned over for their use.
Butchers and wholesale meat dealers
expressed conflicting opinions regard
ing the probable effects of the railroad
| transportation embargo on livestock
and dressed beef. The majority fore
saw a meat famine with consequent
soaring of prices. Others believed
| there was ilOluluS W "Oil y oDoul INV,
as they said the supply Of city-dressed
beef would be sufficient for at least a
week.
The sensation in the food situation
came in the produce markets, where
nearly all kinds OF vegetables jumped
above Wednesdays figures, with pota-
toes leading with fifteen to twenty
cents basket advance. This was true
in all five of the chain store systems
the Acme Tea company, George M.
Dunlap company, Childs Grocery COM
pany, Bell company and the produce
and grocery stores of Robinson &
Crawford.
Flour also was boosted by these
stores, advancing from five to fifteen
cents. Butter and eggs advanced a
few cents over their quotations of
Wednesday.
Potatoes which were selling In these
retail stores on Wednesday at sixty
! and sixty-ive cents rose to seventy-f1ve
and eighty.
Canned goods of which there is
good supply, remained unchanged.
Many of the merchants said they ex-
pected to see further advance.

HOUSE PASSES
8-H0UR BILL
Steele, Of Penna, Ond Of Two
Democrats Opposing
THE VOTE WAS 239 TO 56

Upper Body Measure Proposes lnves-
tieaton by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The Adamson eight-hour day bill,
which railroad brotherhood othcla.S
have said formally would avert the
threatened strike if finally enacted,
was passed by the house and sent to
the senate.
The house vote was 239 to Sc, with
five members voting present.
Only two Democrats-Steele, OF
Pennsylvania, and Black, OF Texas
voted against the bill. Sixty-eight Re-
publicans and the one Socialist voted
for it.
With a provision authorizing the in
terstate commerce commission to nH
schedule of wages on railroads, the
senate interstate commerce committee
favorably reported its cight-hour day
bill in response to President Wilson
plea.
The senate met to begin immediate
consideration OF the bill, which differs
from the measure passed by the house
in containing an important provision
empowering the interstate commerce
commission to fix schedules OF wages
on interstate railways. 1t provides
that the eighthour day shall become
effective January l, 1917, that the pres
ent pay for the ten-hour day shall ap'
ply to the shorter day, that overtime
shall be paid pro rata, but adds that
within not less than six and not more
than twelve months after its passage
the interstate commerce commission
shall assume jurisdiction OF the ques
ton of hours and wages, and that they
shall be subject to petition for change
from either the employers, the EN-
ployes and the public.
Final voting on the bill in the house
began after the house, in committee oil
the whole, had rejected the amend
ment of Representative Sterling, Of
Illinois, Republican, for a permanent
board of mediation and Cancellation to
settle future wage disputes, and pend
ing whose report strikes and lockouts
would be prohibited.
The final vote was delayed by re-
newal of the Sterling permanent me-
diation and arbitration proposal in the
form Of motion to recommit the bill
to the commerce committee. 1t was
ruled out.
At the start of the House debate
on the Adamson bill, Representative
illett, Republican, of Massachusetts
said the legislation had been written
because the Democrats were he'd up
"One hour of Cleveland or Roose
velt, he said, would have ended this
trouble"
"This bill is a makeshift pure and
simple" said Representative Brown
ing, Republican, New Jersey.
The House, after considerable dis
cussion, adopted amendments by Rep
resentatives Page and Kitchin, ex-
empting from the eight-hour law small
independent railroads and electric
street and interurban railways and
providing that the exemption shall not
apply TO terminals or transfer compa'
