KANSAS CITY SOAP MAKERS
ARE OUT ON A STRIKE
Workers Demanding an Eight-Hour
Day-Affects 1000 Workers
Other Strikes There.

Kansas City, Mo.-With the walk
soap plant and an alleged sympathe-
tic strike of workers at the Kansas
City Packing Box company, strikes in
four different industries involving
nearly 1000 workers are in progress
in greater Kansas City.
Higher wages and an eight-hour
day we're the demands stated by the
striking Peet Brothers employees af-
ter organizing a soap makers union.
Packing plant officials announced
they would treat only with a commit
tee of strikers and not with organic
ers and there was said to be no i'm
mediate prospect for a settlement of
the packing house employees strike
involving nearly 5000 workers and
four of the seven plants in Kansas
City, Kan.
Approximately $50 of Wells-Fargo
freight handlers and teamsters joined
the express strike, started on Satur-
day by the walkout of Adams Ex-
press clerks, freight handlers and
teamsters. This strike already has re-
suited in an embargo being placed
upon all shipments of perishable
nature and in addition practically no
express of any description is being
moved by either company at the IN
ion station.

General Trade Conditions.

Bradstreet's says: Governmental
buying. moderate expansion in regu-
lar fall business, light retail trade
at the east, exceptionally good crop
reports, activity in industry, liquida-
ton in the stock market, induced by
concern over the excess profits tax, and
unanimity of opinion respecting the
expected large proportions of fall
trade stand out as the prominent fea-
lures of present trade conditions.
In the larger sense war demands
concededly dwarf ordinary commercial
business perhaps to a greater extent
than at any time in the last three
years, but even so, progress in normal
channels is seen now that the fall
season is close at hand, this manifes-
tation being more evident at centers
that cater to the agricultural regions
than it is in the industrial zones,
which latter certainly continue active.
1t is suggested, however, the indus
trial workers have felt the burdens
of the high cost of living in great de-
gree wherefore they are prone to econ
omize, while agriculturists, largely
self-sustaining, have profited from the
prolonged era of high prices.
House trade in the larger staple lines
has expanded in a conservative way,
thanks to the presence of numerous
visiting buyers in the more important
markets.
Retail trade ranges from fair to
good, the latter word Characteristic of
conditions in sections wheer soldiers
are encamped, particularly at the
south.

MANUFACTURE OF
WHISKY STOPPED.
The Prohibition Clause of Food Con-
troll Has Now Become Effective
Few DistilIeries Cease.

Washington-The manufacture of
whisky ceased throughout the nation
Sept. Sth, when the prohibition clause
of the food control act became
effective.
Millions of bushels of grain, which
food officials say would otherwise be
released for food. How many milli-
ons no one knows, for the manu-
facture of alcohol for beverage pur-
poses is so closely blended with the
production of alcohol for industrial
purposes that there is no way of
determining the exact amount.
OF the 100,000,00O bushels of grain
or Whereabouts, which goes into the
distilleries each year, about 40 per
cent, experts estimate, comes out
in the form of whisky and other dis
titled beverages. The remainder
made into alcohol of exactly the
same characteristics as that used fol
whisky, eventually finds its way into
perfume, toilet waters, bay rum medi
cines and to industries where dena
tured alcohol is used in ever in
creasing quantities.
Approximately 116,00O,O00 gallons
of whisky are produced each year by
American distilleries. Production Of
alcohol by the same distilleries fol
commercial and medicinal use:
other than beverages approximate
LAG, 100000 gallons. The manu-
facture of alcohol for the latter pur
poses will continue as usual, prob
ably in greater volume, and few o
the larger distilleries, if any, will
have to shut down, according t
government authorities.
The class of distilleries which will
be put out of business is composed
almost wholly of small plants operat
ed by from one man to half a dozel
men located in California, Ohio ant
New Jersey and producing brand,
from grapes, apples and peaches
These produce approximately $500
900 gallons year

Sensation at Washington.
Washington.-The governments ex-
posture of how Swedens legation in
Argentina acted as a secret channel
of communication for Count Luxburg,
German charge in Buenos Aires and

a sensation which absorbs the diplo-

subjects connected with the war

of German diplomacy it takes rank
second only to the celebrated Zim-
norman note plotting war between

State department officials contin-

but it was plain they deplored any
attempt to color the incident as fore
casting a diplomatic break between
the United States and Sweden.
No such development is thought
of at this juncture. At the present
stage it is wholly a matter between
Argentina, Sweden and Germany,
with the United States, her allies and
the rest of the world interested on
lockers, eager to know how the most
remarkable train of events will be
explained or dealt with by the three
governments.
