FAvORS The RICH
German Distribution System
Given as Cause of Riots.
Wealthy Get Market Supplies;
Poor Scramble in Vain.

Rotterdam, March 31.-Favoritism
in the distribution of foodstuffs is de-
clared on German authority to have
had more to do with recent disorders
in the FaJherland than any actual
shortage. The accusation is not made
alone by radical publications like Vor-
waerts- The Kreuzzeitung, of the mil
itary press. discussing the situation at
Dresden, relates the following:
1T appears that the market au-
past been doing a thriving trade in
which were intended by the munich
charge among the poor. Before long,
proof was forthcoming that the names
of customs and town hall officials
wholesale business firms and first
class boarding houses were carefully
noted in the market authorities books
These favored customers We're sup
piled secretly with all the articles they
needed at prices only slightly in excess
of those fixed as payable by the poor
The consequence was that on
scores of occasions hundreds of poor
women, after standing for hours in
front of the market stalls, pushing
and trampling one another and tear
ing one another's clothes off their
backs in their struggles to obtain the
desired food. were sent away either
empty handed or given a paltry half
pound of peas or beans while well
paid officials or rich merchants were
supplied with 20 pounds at a time,
delivered free at their houses
