HOOver's Prediction of Meat
Famine Not Amiss.
Pork Chops so Cents Coming
Hogs Up $40 in Year.

Chicago, Aug. 21.-Pork chops soon
will be so cents a pound, retail.
Ham and bacon will be even higher.
Meat generally is going up.
Herbert Hoover's fear of a. world
meat famine is not overestimated.
These were the conclusions draw
for the United Press today by Robert
Miller, president of the Chicago Retail
Grocers' association, from Hoover's
report on meat conditions.
Danger OF a meat famine has been
known to Chicago retail meat dealers
for some time, Miller said.
There is but one remedy" he con-
tinued. Uncle Sam must devise some
regulation that will make it more
grain to cattle than to1sel1 it. AS long
as the farmer can get 81 forrcorn
on quick sale he is not goingSto feed
it to cattle and wait for the same
profit. S
Ham Already As Cents.
''Shrinkage in the supply of corn

alarming daily"
The rapid rise in wholesale hog
prices is boosting the retail prices OF
pork, proportionately. retailers de-
clared. Pork loin that sold for go
cents Saturday, today was IS II cents.
A SO cent advance in hogs on the hoof
over last weeks prices was blamed
for this.
The wholesale price of hogs August
1 was Sc higher than year ago, and
twice as high as on August 1, 1914.
Hogs today were nearly 81 higher
than August /, this year, selling close
to $40 a hundred pounds.
Bacon THAT retailed from 80 to 80
cents last week, today was IS to 40

The increase will be granted in in
dividua1 yards when present union
agreements expire. Where no joint
agreement is now in effec. at a ship
building center, the case will be sub
mitted to the proposed commission.
The New York ship yards strike
may be settled before the special
commission plan is put into effect.
The union is cleaning up the situa-
ton on the Pacific coast before turn
ing it's full attention to the Atlantic
seaboard The agreement with San
Francisco yards expires Sentember Is.
An agreement is being sought in Port
land. The Seattle yards may furnish
the first example of a government
wage increase, as shipbuilders there
whose contracts were taken over by
the ship board put the new wage scale
suuarely up to the board.

IT'S A HARD LIFE
Militant Suffragists Find Few
Comforts In Jail.
They Object to Heavy Shoes
and Coarse Underwear.

~ Washington, Aug. 21-Strenuous
protest against the coarse underwear
and heavy shoes they are forced to
wear has been lodged with Congress
man J. NJ. Baer of North Dakota, by
the six militant suffragistS serving
thirty day terms at the District Work
house at Occoquan, Va. Mr.. Bear
echoed their protest to Supt- w. H.
Whitaker, but he ruled that there
could be no modification of the rules
in this respect.
The prisoners also protested against
the use of a common drinking cup
by all the women prisoners. Super
intendent Whitaker agreed to remedy
this condition.
Representative Baer went to Deco
guam early Monday afternoon but was
forced to wait four hours before he
could get an interview with the suf-
fragists Mr.. Baer was finally grant
ed 5 minutes.
This underwear is worse than
wearing red flannel" declared one of
the suffragists, blushing at mention of
her lingerie and at the same time
Squirming nervously.
And these boots may be all right
for ploughing. but they certainly Were
not built for comfort" chimed in a
second.
The superintendent declared he
had no discretion in the matter and
that the regulations contained no pro-
visions for furnishing the prisoners
with silk or fine linen lingerie. He
agreed after talking with Representa-
tive Baer to allow the prisoners to see
a few friends today.

H. C. PAPER EXCESSIVE
Federal Trade Commission Reports to
Senate on Book Paper.

Washington, Aug. 21.-The advance
in prices of book paper last year was
excessive and unwarranted, the fed
eral trade commission reported today
to the senate. AS result of its in
vestigation, the commission has or
dered proceedings against certain
practices of manufacturers.
The advances were not warranted
either by the increase in costs or by
the changes in conditions of supply
and demand, the commission found.
The advances were brought about in
part by the activities of members of
the paper manufacturers association
and the secretary of the bureau of
statistics, maintained by the manufac-
turers. on account of whose activities
the proceedings were ordered

Everyone declared the pavement
was as smooth, If not smoother than

city. Yet, two or three property own
ers have told Tandy it was rougher

PROTEST NEGRO CAMP
Governor and Senators of South Car
DINA Kick On Camp Near Columbia.

Washington, Aug. Ex-Governor
Manning of South Carolina, accom-
panied by Senators Ti1lman and Smith
and the remainder of the state dele
cation in congress, protested to the
war department today against the en-
campment of negro troops in the
state.
The Carolinians protested against
the assembling of thousands of ne
gro troops at Columbia and particu-
larly against the encampment of sew
eral thousand from Porto Rico.
Porto Rican negroes, the delega-
ton commended, were unused to the
southern view of the negro question
and should be modified elsewhere.
Senator Tillman asked that in view
of the fact that Cuba has offered the
United States a training ground on
the island, that the Porto Rican troops
be encamped there.
