was no disorder.

mass meetings, have formed a number
of organizations for the purpose of
more orderly agitation.
The Women'S Anti-High Price
League, the largest of these bodies.
sent a delegation to the board of esti-
mates this morning to demand an ap-
preparation of s1,o00.000 to be used in
buying food to be sold to the poor at
cost. This organization announced
that if its plea was unsuccessful it was
urged that beginning Monday chill
dren be kept out of school until condi-
tions had improved.
In some of the tenement districts the
boycott has taken the place of the
riot as means of protest. The boy
colt, however, has not been altogether
peaceful. A number of women were at
tackled by Infatuated housewives as
they came out of shops carrying meat

situation in different parts of the state
In New York city the board OF aldermen
and the board of estimate met to dis
cuss possible remedies.
At the board of estimate meeting
Mayor Mitchell, in pursuance of his
promise made earlier this week to
housewives who visited him, brought
up their request that the city purchase
food and resell il at cost to the needy
The mayor prefaced his action by say
ing he did not believe the city had
power to act, but that the problem was
one properly for the state legislature.
Mrs. Jacob Pankin. one of the wom-
ems spokesman. charged the mayor with
prejudicing their case before placing
before the board their proposition that
$1,000, 900 be appropriated imm ediately
as relief fund.
You learnedly quote the law. Mr..
Mayor; but put aside our requests"
she said. You cannot afford 10 ignore
our cry for food. Do you prefer the
people to take the law into their own
hands or to provide us justice your
selves. We cannot wait two and
half years for the legislature to act.
We want you to take up our cudgels
for US. You cannot afford to ignore
the cry of women and children for
bread"
TT In not true we are ignoring you"
The mayor replied. I'VE are doing all
we oan."

Want Free Competition.

Although they were glad to accept any
price reduction. the publishers said they
would agree to an arrangement for price
fixing only If free and open competition
be established among the mills and the
price reduction put on a permanent basis.
They did not think the manufacturers,
proposal would be practicable unless al
least so per cent of the newsprint max
ers signed it.
The commission made it plain that 1t
would consider the viewpoint OF the
publishers. and it was said the com
mission would not contemplate any
price arrangement which in the END
did not promise restoration of free and
