LABOR MEN SCORE BRITISH METHODS
 OF FOOD CONTROL
Say Unnecessary Suffering Caused City Dwellers by
 by Useless Delays.

London. Dec. 29.-The national con- yention Of the trades union party and war emergency workers adopted reso- lations protesting against the suffer ing now being unnecessarily inflicted upon the mass of urban consumofs by the prolonged delay Of the government in organizing an equitable system of distribution of the supplies of food, and demanding equal sharing among all families, without distinction as to wealth or class, with compulsory Ia tioning.
 The governments methods of con trolling the food situation were crit icised severely at today's session of the labor congress. Speaking of res olution on this subject, Robert sml- lie, .;leader of the miners, said: that we put this forward as a grave warning to them. If they do not carry out at once the spirit of the resolution they may take 1t for granted that the workers of the country will no longer stand having their wives and children waiting outside shop doors, almost begging for food to be sold to them."
 Dr. Marion Phillips of the executive committee of the women's labor league, said that unless steps were taken to improve present conditions infant mortality would rise in way which never before had been known.
 The whole policy of the government, declared Bevan of the dockworkers' union had been to "play into the hands of the American ring"
 "Talk of food control--there will soon be nothing left to control" he said.
 John Clynes, labor member of the house of commons, said the govern ment had not gone so far as the food ministry desired and that if the con- ference could do something to push the government further it would be most pleasing to the ministry. He in- sisted much had been done already to reduce the price of food, adding that scheme was being worked out for equal distribution.
 MT. Clynes intimated that the gov ernment was constructing mills for the manufacture of margarine. Baron Rhondda, the food controller, was do ing his best, he said, to obtain con- trol of the entire output of margarine, butter and similar commodities.

London, Jan. 24.-Thc Daily News
today gives prominence to an article
by it's naval correspondent, who calls
attention to the gravity of German
submarine activity The writer says
he fears the real seriousness of the
German campaign against merchant
shipping is not realized by a major
ity of the British people, and adds:
'The daily record of ships sent to
the bottom has become so regular a
feature in the newspapers that no
particular notice is taken of it un-
less some unusual atrocity attends

40 Ships Sunk in 90 Days.
The correspondent recalls that
when Germany's submarine blockade
began in February, 1916, the British
admiralty issued weekly statements
of losses but says that after a perioG
of thirtY-five weeks this was discon-
tinued. During that period the week
ly average loss was five vessels, but
during the past three months the rate
of losses has, nearly trebled. The

CONDEMNED HORSES
KILLED IN ARIZONA

ESPECIAL coRREsPoNpENc. 70 MORNING JouRNALl
Snowflake, AriZ., Jan. 23,-Fifty-
nine head of condemned horses were
killed here at the quarantine pasture.
The animals were suffering with dou-
rine and were condemned by authori-
ty of the United States government
bureau Of animal industry at Wash
ington. The execution was under the
direction and supervision of Dr. L. F.
Schneider of Albuquerque, DR.. w. E,
Severns Of Phoenix, and DR.. v. A.
Dennis, inspector for Apache and Nav
ajo counties. The animals had been
under the care of Local Quarantine
Officer w. w. Freeman Of this place.
They had been appraised by a duly
appointed committee. The United
States government has authorized the
payment of one-half of the appraised
value. provided the state of Arizona
will pay the other half. Some Of the
animals were registered mares and
valued very high. Some were range
and work horses and represented
about all the horses belonging to some
of our farmers.

6nly slightly less than If they had

Menace Firmly Rooted.
Remarking that the submarine
menace has become firmly rooted. the
writer dwells on the rapid multiple
cation of U-boats, their striking de-
velopment in power and their cruis-
ing radius, which, he says, has COM
pletely changed the problem since
the underwater boats started opera
tions.

serious menace that ever threatened

contends that it is imperative for the
people to cut down their consump-
ton of tobacco and other imported
luxuries and live in homelier fashion,
and thus free tonnage for essentials.
He adds that the question will be
raised in the house of commons when

Common Stock Dividend In
creased to Ten per Cent
Quarterly With 200 per
Cent Stock Dividend.

New York, Jan. 23.-One of >tho
largest melons" ever divided by an
Industrial corporation was announced
today when the directors of the BETH
lehem Steel corporation increased the

cent to 10 per cent quarterly; recon-
mended a 200 per cent common stock
the common stockholders the right
to subscribe to $15,0OO,00O new stock
at par on the basis of share for share
OF present holdings.
VIII BE Approved.

q proposed increase of the common
stock from $4,000, 600 to 100000
900. The plan regarding the new
stock is to be submitted to share
holders at a special meeting Febru-
airy IA. Inasmuch as Charles M.
Schwab, chairman of the corpora
ton, and his friends are believed to
control the present stock issue, it is
virtually assured that the proposition

cent on the preferred stocky payable
in four quarterly instalments, also
was declared.

AS precaution and to provide
against possible future contingencies,

visable to provide for the creation Of

which will authorize, under suitable
restrictions, the issue of bonds from
time to time for refunding opera
tions, extensions and additions and
other capital purposes not provided
for from earnings or sale of stock.
