that the car supply order which he was
led to believe by local railroad men

WOMEN IN RIOT POUR OIL
ON MEAT IN HILADELP7IA
Pickets Attack Those Who Buy of Dealers Who Raised
Food Prices-Woman Man and Boy Injured
by Mssiles-Values Go Even Higher.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2c.--Disorderly
scenes occurred to-day in the southeast
crn part Of the city. populated largely
by persons of foreign birth. when
bands Of women made demonstrations
against dealers that have raised food
prices. In melee between a crowd Of
women and others attracted to one Of
the streets where stores were being at
tackled. woman was knocked down.
trampled upon and taken to a hospital
with broken leg. The police succeeded
In dispensing the crowd without any
serious injury being done. Minor dis
orders occurred in other streets of the
foreign quarter.
To-day's demonstrations are the re-
suit of a meeting OF women at which It
was decided to boycott dealers who in
creased prices. Women with bottles con-
tanning kerosene are alleged TO have
poured the oil On meats, fish and vege-
tables displayed by dealers and to have
attacked curb merchants and pushcart
venders. Pickets were established. and
women ~ho patronized stores where
prices were raised were attacked and
the articles they purchased taken from
them.
Dealers in kosher meats have distrib-
uted circulars in the neighborhood affected
calling for n mass meeting to explain
that retail dealers are not responsible
for the high cost Of food, The police say
the trouble Is an echo Of the New York
food demonstrations. The disorder had
no connection with the strike riot las
night at sugar refneries a mile away.
Late this afternoon there was another
outbreak in the foreign quarter with the
result that man was shot and II boy
badly injured. The boy was struck with
4 bottle. They were taken to a hospital.
The trouble started when policemen tried
to protect two women who had made pur-
chases in q store on which boycott had
been placed.
A committee OF kensington house
wives at 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 situation did not improve
they would request the aid of Gov.
Brumbaugh. Prices. they asserted, were
higher to-day than yesterday. Fish for
which they yesterday paid l2 and IA
cents a pound had advanced to IS cents !:
onions had increased from IL to IA
cents pound beets from 10 to l3 cents
and poultry ranged from &c to 40 cents,
an advance of three cents pound.

for prompt. dictatorial action to staight-
en- out matters.
With the misunderstanding cleared up
to-day's conference was based on the
assumption that relief might still be en-
pected from tho Interstate Commerce
Commission, and the second telegram
was said to be a final plea on behalf OF
the Board of Trade and In general
way on behalf of the farmers and coun.
try grain elevators Of the Mississippi and
Missouri valleys.
Mr.. Griffin reiterated that the grain
trade of this section is in desperate
way. Forty million bushels of grain are
held UP in local elevators; seven million
bushels additional are in cars. some OF
which should have been shipped three
months ago. He also said that 1000
product factories in Chicago In many
cases are running only 25 per cent. OF
capacity because they cannot snip tneir
products out, and that one OF the Dig
gest corn products factories in the world
may have to close down II conditions
are not remedied. He said that al
though the elevators have ceased 10 op-
crate they fear. because of the shortage

they might not be able to get them back
again. Thus their expenses remain al
the maximum.

Griffin admitted that the Minneapolis
cars were being used to ship -four t.as
instead OF grain.
Touching on the statement maze to
day by the car service commission thai
Chicago had asked for only 200 cars FOL
grain, Mr. Griffin said:
"That was the minimum on which we
could exist but for the last month we
haven't been getting them. Four or hVt

reply TO the United States defining her
position In the submarine war is known
in Berlin, according to the FrankJurter
Zeftun1, which predicts that a breach Of
relations between Washington and
Vienna is inevitable. The papers Berlin
correspondent says:
Wilson has sent to the Vienna Govern
ment leaves no doubt that the breach Of
relations between the United States and
Germany will soon be followed by a
breach with Austria Hungary. Presi-
dent Wilson wishes to be clearly told
whether the Austro-Hungarian Govern
ment has withdrawn its earlier declara-
ton regarding the conduct Of submarine
warfare.
Really. one ought to think that the
explanation given by Austria Hungary
at the beginning of the unrestricted sub
marine warfare to the effect that from
February all ocean traffic in the
blockaded zones will be prevented with
all means should not be capable of mis-
conception. But in his dealings with
the Central Powers President Wilson Is
always painfully exact.
Berlin Is Informed.
1T is true that We have not heard
that he ever sent cautions, let alone
warnings. to the Entente for torpedoing
Austrian or German ships without warm
