The Contribution Box.
A Problem in Gamma

Solomon noted in his Proverbs that
"the destruction Of the poor is their
poverty" and the aphorism holds as
true today as it ever did. 1t is ex-
emplihed in as homely matter as the
canning of fruit and vegetables, and
in the preservation of other foods.
For example, housewife in Cleve-
land attempted to give advice as to
canning food to the woman who was
washing for her. She was telling how
beans and other things, soon to be
cheap, might be canned for the winter
months when vegetables were high.

FOOD PRICES PINCH
POOR OF DENMARK
Eggs Six Cents Apiece and Ap-
pies Eighteen Dollars Per
Bushel; Small Chicken
Costs $3.50. 49,

"In Copenhagen we paid $lS a
bushel for apples, 6 cents apiece for
eggs, so cents pound for butter and
so to 90 cents a pound for ham. All
these things, except apples, are raised
right IN Denmark, and considering
this the prices are, of course, rather
higl," said ]. Z. Nebbergall, who has
just come back to the United States
from Denmark, where he served as
Young Mems Christian association
secretary in war work. He is in Oma-
ha for a few days to help in the local
campaign for raising funds for Young
Mems Christian association war work.
"The high prices are due to the
fact that Denmark has sold so much
of its food to Germany, though the
allies are putting so much pressure
on Denmark now that food exports
to Germany have become low and may
be cut off altogether.
Fish was plentiful in Copenhagen
until England cut off Denmark's sup
ply Of gasoline for fear it would get
to Germany, and now the Danes have
no powert TO run their fishing boats.
Poor Feel the Pinch.
"In many places, especially in the
cities, the poor are feeling the pinch
of the high prices of food. On the
ether hand, many immense fortunes
have been made in food since the
war began. The food milionaires are
called 'goulash barons,' so-called be-
cause of sort of meat mixture they
manufacture to sell to Germany at
high price.
"One day we bought small chicken
and had to pay $l50 for it.
Denmark is between two great
dangers. 1t is seeking only to keep
out of the war, and suffers from both
sides. England puts on commercial
pressure because the Danes ship food
to Germany. AS soon as the Danes
quit shipping food the Germans cut
off their coal supply. To save power,
the street cars, stop only every other
block, and there is only half the
usual number of cars The elevators
arc not allowed to run. There is no
heat in public buildings and churches
and people sit in church in their over
coats.
in Sweden the food situation is
much worse. In some parts of the
country the people are actually slowly
starving"
Mr.. Nebberga1l was secretary in the
Young Mems Christian association
war work office i'll Copenhagen,
sort of clearing office for the activi-
ties of the Young Mems Christian as
sociation in continental Europe.
"The association has been Cod
send to the mel in the prisoncamps,"
he said. "All countries recognize the
Young Mems Christian association
and cooperate with it in its work
among the prisoners. Many prisoners
would have gone crazy had it not
been for the opportunities for mental
and physical activities afforded by the
Young Mems Christian association"

Watermelon Back Again
TO Visit Here for AWh1le

Well, here's our old friend, water
melon, back with us again. He ar
rived in Omaha this week and he's a
healthy looking specimen. especially
for so early in the season.
These early watermelons come from
Florida and they have a fine, healthy
ripe green color. The sheel, you un-
derstand. is green. The inside is red
and juicy and sweet. The price? Well,
OF course, the price is bit high just
now. But even at that itisn't so very
high. Three and half to 4 cents a
pound is the price. They sell them
by the pourd now. The melons are
OF good size, averaging about twenty
pounds each.
We have some homegrown toma-
toes also this week. They are little
fellows and were grown locally in hot
houses and they command about Is
cents a pound. Tomatoes from the
southern gardens are around 10 TO IS
cents pound and ar OF good flavor.
Radishes are almost at give-away

DOCKMEN'S STRIKE
TIES UP SHIPPING
Twenty Vessels Unable to Clear
From New York as Result
of WaIkout.

NEW YORK. March NEARLY
twenty ships in the harbor were sum-
marily halted in the loading and dis
charging of their cargoes last night
when the longshoremen, stevedores,
and other ship cargo handlers quit
work
1t was the most effective tie-up of
the ports activity since the strike OF
five years ago. The virtual walkout
affected every worker, whether Fed
Grafton of Labor man or Information
al Workers of the World.
1t was the first move of "force" on
the part of the men in connection
with their demands for the signing
of new wage agreements, granting
advances Of 10 cents an hour in the
rates OF pay.
More than 1000 cargo handlers were
directly affected by the waIkOut. The
whole array OF longshoremen and al
lied workers in the city numbers 5000,
and the remaining 1000 will take ac-
tion today.
The walkout is not expected to af-
feet the coastwise workers.
Ships Immediately affected by the
longshoremen's action: Californian,
lSusquehanna, Florida, HIlligom, Newa,
Afford Hage, Norlina, QuernmOre, Bia,
Nation, Marie, Genoa. Aslog, and
GogOwan.
These ships are moored at the Lo-
Gust Point, Canton, and Port Coving-
ton piers and the cargo transfer was
at a standstiIl all through the night.
The stoppage of the grain-loading
was an unexpected move.
The tie-up began at about 5:45
o'clock, and within half an hour not a
longshoreman was working on a ship.
The workers know they have at a
disadvantage the steamship compan-
les and other employing agencies, as
there is no apparent labor field from
which strike breakers can be recruit
ed. while there is crying demand
from the foreign ports, particularly
the allied countries, for goods.
Meetings were held to determine
whether or not the men will stand
pat and make the walkout holdout
or return to work and await the re-
suit of negotiations between the
Longshoremen's Union representatives
and the employers.
The walkout occurred at the term
ination OF the old agreement between
the longshoremen and employers.
This agreement, signed last Feb
ruary, took efefct on March !, 1915.
and called for 27I5 cents for dock
workers, 30 cents for ship hold men
and 81 cents for winchmen-an aver
age increase OF about cents over
the previous scale.
The injection of the old ]. w. w.
dispute with the Federation of La
| Dor is expected to be a sinister in
fIuence in the crisis between the
steamship companies and the cargo
handlers.
Police Marshal Carter has planned
to handle any disorders that may oc-
cur. The police departments Of both
the Baltimore and Ohio and the Penn
sylvania railroads have been pre-
pared for emergency work.
