Il has been practically decided

to the superintendent of construc-

decided to use Il good grade OF red

cording to both a telegram Of Satur-

this morning.

SOARING FOOD PRICES
L. y. ATTORNEY At BOSTON
THINKS THERE IL DANGER
OF A SOCIAL Up
HEANAI.

Washington. ID. G., May 21.-Pre-
dictions of a social upheayal unless
the rising prices of food are checked
were made by George w. Anderson,
United States attorney at Boston,
and special assistant to Attorney
General Gregory, in coordination of
food Investigations, today before the
house agricultural committee in con
n~ection with the administration food
control bill.
Mr.. Anderson, with great emphasis
made this statement:
Something must be done. That
a social and political "upheaval is
threatened cannot be denied or dis
regarded. | see the signs of it. Any
one with his ears to the ground
knows it. There will be a phenome-
non in America inconsistent with law
and order unless something is done
to prevent it,"
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1917-05-21

and the activity and evident interest
of Mr.. Dillon.
The brick proposed under the de-
scription of red pressed brick" will
represent about the $1,000 addition
al that the treasury department ex-
pressed itself as willing to spend in
additional cost of better material. 1t
has been earnestly impressed on the
minds of officials concerned with the
construction of the building that it
required a better brick here than i'm
some climates, Mr.. Waskey holding
up the examples of some of the build
ings in this vicinity and their con
ditions, as against some of the
buildings of Virginia. Here even u
good brick soon shows signs of dis
indignation, while often buildings in
that milder climate, built of very
mediocre quality of brick have stood
for 500 years with little deteriora-
ton. Ii is explained by the fact that
brick which absorb a large percent
age of water viii not stand against
the freezing of this climate, as the
water contained in them takes more
space when frozen, breaking down
the brick into flakes and scales. In
til it ultimately goes wholly TO pieces.
1t is with great satisfaction that
the success OF the remonstrance is
viewed by our citizens. The practical
~ final decision on a grade of brick
closes the matter as far as w are
concerned. While the exact brick
has not been selected, it may be con
sidered as closed.

EDDYSTONE WORKERS
HAD BEEN WARNED
OF THE DANGER
Anonymous Letter Writers Are Said to
Have Forecasted the Tragedy with
Cost of 122 Lives.

Chester, Pa, April l2.--After an ex.
tended investigation, company officials
to-day reaifirmed their conviction that
the disastrous explosion on Tuesday at
the plant of the Eddystone Ammunition
corporation was deliberately perpetrated
as part of a campaign of terrorism.
This theory, however, is disputed by
State Fire Marshal Port, who is con-
ducting an investigation and adheres to
the belief that the origin was an acci-
dent.
Experts to-day were analyzing the
powder in the shrapnel shells at the
works with the hope of establishing pos
itively the cause of the explosion which
cost l22 lives There is the theory that
if plot existed, as the officials of the
plant maintain, an acid capsule might
have been dropped in shell in the
charging room. So far there is no def
mite evidence that the disaster was the
work of alien plotters. The authorities
have been told, however, of anonymous
warnings said to have been sent to
workers at the plant and of other notes
and letters reported to have forecasted
the tragedy All are being investigated.
