Altho Tacoma firemen all
handed their designations to
Commissioner Petit Saturday be-
cause of the city councils refusal
to grant two-platoon system in
the fire department, they are will
ing to withdraw the resignation
any time before Sept. IL, IL their
requests are acceded to.
This was the sentiment of fire
men in the various city stations
Monday.
"Our resignation is not a bluff,
and 1t means that we will all quit
Sept. II unless the two-shift sys-
tenn is inaugurated," said an Off
Ger of the fire department Mon
day.
But in all fairness to the city,
we are still willing to reconsider
our faction if the council will re-
consider its refusal to do anything
to better our conditions"
Deny Increase Needed.
Firemen are not asking for an
increase in the fire department,
altho Chief Carlson has reported
to the council that Al additional
men would be needed If the two
platoon system were adopted.
Members of the department de-
clare that the present force of los
men could be divided into two
shifts. without increasing ex-
penses at all, and that practically
the same number of men would
be on hand at all times to fight
fire as are now on duty.
Declaring that Mayor Fawcett's
signed statement in the Tacoma
papers Saturday was misleading
and tended to prejudice the public
against the cause of the firemen,
a committee of three officers of
the firemen's union today issued
statement contradicting the
mayors words.
The statement follows:
Answer Mayor.
"In a newspaper article Satur-
day regarding the present fire
mems situation written by the
Hon. Mayor Fawcett we notice
that his statement gives the pub
lie a wrong impression. and we
wish to correct this. He states
that the city pays substitutes con-
10 permit all the men to
have time off. We beg to inform
he public that these substitutes
Ire not furnished free, but are
,afd from the salaries OF the men
vhose places they FIJI.
Another thing we would like
0 make clear IL the fact that the

The statements made in recent issues

triotic prices charged for bread and
crackers and. indeed. for every wheat
product. confirm SO fully my own esti-
mate of their unreasonable excess that

such poor managers" of the materials
intrusted to their manipulation that
they should be subject to inspection by
some really competent housewife. or
else that a boycott of sufficient force
to give them pause to think should be
established.
This boycott would give every house
wife an opportunity to do her patriotic
bit" for it would, undoubtedly, mean
to many unusual physical labor, not to
speak of the mental effort involved, in

process of bread making to success

there was general failure of the corn

Maj. Ambler's crop. however. was an

consequence Of the bad season, the price
Of corn rose exorbitantly and poor peo-

REASON FOR HIGH PRICES.
Fish Dealers Say Demand Keeps
Pace With Increased Supply.

While the dealers in fish at the wharf
market report good supplies on hand
they also report an increased demand
that keeps prices as high, and in some
instances higher, than they were early
in the week when fish were scarce.
Herring have practically disappeared
from the market and sliad are scarce.
The season for bringing them here
from any source closed today, but the
dealers have until June 10 to dispose
of the shad they have on hand The
summer fishing fleet is about ready to
start work and increased supplies of
Potomac fish are looked for in the next
week.
The market this morning was brisk
and prices ranged about as follows:
Roe shad, $1.10 each; buck shad, 70
cents each; rock, Is to 20 cents
pound: perch, 25 to rs cents a bunch;
catfish, s to cents a pound; carp s
cents a pound: pike. 121s cents pound;

to 10 cents a pound; founders, $3.50
a barrel; trout, 81 to $6 a barrel; croak-

Accidentally With Pistol.

Shot in the neck by his wife. Mrs

ence of John Naecker. machinist in

The shooting occurred in a rear room
on the second floor of the Naecker home
shortly after the machinist returned
there.
Mrs. Naecker had an old pistol in her
hand when her husband entered the
house. a weapon that she kept for pro-
lection during his absence. and it was
tered the left side OF the husband q

sarily dangerous wound.

shooting and interviewed husband and
wife. The wounded man substantiated
his wife's story OF the shooting.

To the Editor Of The Star:
In last Fridays star appeared an ar
ticle by Mr.. Daniel Smith Gordon on
the high cost of bread that should be
read by every bread and
since then several others have written
along the same lines, and it seems to
me they have made out a strong case
against the bakers in favor of much
lower prices. 1t appears to me to be
both a patriotic and humane duty for
bakers and all foodstuff manufacturers
to strive rather to ease the pop
ular burdens in these stressful times
of a universal calamity than to increase
the hardships of life by exacting high
prices to crafty an indefensible greed
for large profits. We all, as part and
parcel of a community that boasts of
it's high Christian civilization. ought to
prove worthy of such distinction by be-
ing ever ready to act the part OF the
good Samaritan, no matter whether our
fellow falls among footpads or food
