Judge Du Boise, presiding, over

Rioting Over
Food Shortage
in Philadelphia

Philadelphia, Feb. 22-Shouting pro-
tests against high food prices, thousands
of women in the southern section Of the
city, where the residents are largely OF
foreign birth, today paraded in morgan
ICED fashion, upsetting rood displays and
overturning pushcarts. Stores were en-
tered and damaged in some instances.
A crowd of women rushed a fish store
and upset a tank of live carp. Kerosene
was poured on other fish and the store
fixtures were badly damaged. The police
forced back the crowd and arrested three
women.
Similar scenes were reported in the
northeastern section of the city. also in
habited largely by foreigners. Tho push
cart vendors lost their wares. Many gro
GERS and butchers closed their shops. Dur
ing an attack downtown on several teams
loaded with food supplies boy was hit
in the face by milk bottle and severe
ly injured. A report that man had been
shot proved untrue.
A committee of Kensington houE wives
at a meeting tonight decided to appeal
to Mayor Smith to intervene in an effort
to lower food prices while leaders of the
downtown boycott said that If the situa-
ton did not improve they would request
the aid of Gov. Brumbaugh. Prices, they
declared, were higher today than yester-
day.

Representative Bennet OF New York

with France during the administration
Of President Washington and John

URGES NATIONAL
BOARD OF FOOD
CONTROL IN u. s.

New York, Feb. pa national
board of food control, to regulate the
distribution of products by railroads
was urged tonight in a statement by
Joseph Hartigan, commissioner of the
city's bureau of weights and measures.
as a means of relieving the present sit
uation and reducing prices. The COM
missioner said he did not believe an
embargo on foodstuffs to foreign coun
tries or a commission vested with pow
er to fix prices would solve the prob
lem. The underlying causes which
threatened food famine. Commissioner
Hartigan declared, were shortage of
farm labor and the increased cost of
farming implements and other articles
necessary for production. He suggest
ed that if a national board of food
control were formed, it might be well
to consider the advisabiiity of bring
ing farm labor here from the Philip
pines.
With respect to the situation in this
city where rioting was resumed by
housewives today in the more con-
gestcd tenement districts, Commission
er Hartgan said financial action by a
small group of public spirited citizens
could speedily bring relief.
! He added that he knew where large
quantities of potatoes and onions
could be purchased cheaply and sold
here at cost. If this were done. he
said, the corner in these important
commodities the prices of which were
partly to blame for the food riots,
would be knocked to smithereens with
in q week"
! About 500 carloads of foodstuffs,
consisting mainly of meat. poultry and
potatoes, were reported to be due here
tonight. An official of the New York
and New Jersey Retailers Association
said the cars had been delayed in
transit by embargoes and railroad con-
gestion.

BRITISH WAR LOAN
SURPRISES EUROPE

Geneva, via Paris. Feb. 22.-The great
success of the British war loan has as
tonished Europe, says the Lausanne Ca
zette. This prodigious loan,' says the
paper, shows. to employ sporting
phrase, the English in splendid form. The
German press has lately been publishing
articles showing that England was in
financial gulf and prepared to quit the
fight. whereas the success of the loan
proves that the English people are as
strong financially as military There is
the truth which the nation that began
the war is now realizing"
The Geneva Tribune says: "Since the
world existed such huge sum has not
been offered any government in one OPP
Grafton. 1t can really be said that the
resources of the British government are
unlimited The loan also is proof that
the English people have every confidence
in their government being able to domi-
nate the submarine danger"
