Hoover Approves Plan to
Immediately Begin Work
to Avert Famine
Must Rush Project
Senator Wagner Introduce. /.
Bill to Begin Action on
Hudson and Mohawk

Ex-Governor Benjamin b. Odcll. Of
>c"porgh, is likely to fcengagc in the
we business on a scale he never
dreamed OF when he first embarked in
mat business in modest wav thirty
years ago in his home town. If the
plans OF Senator'S Brown and Wagner,
10 nave the state at once engage in the
harvesting of natural ice along the
hudson and Mohawk valleys, carry, and
II Governor Whitman sanctions them.
Ex-Governor Odell will have general
supervision of the venture. and the
work OF cutting and storing the ice will
begin next week.
~ senators Brown and Wagner and ex-
Governor Odell were in conference
'hree hours yesterday talking over in
tentative way the details of the state
without delay.
1t is understood tina, Mr. Odell said
that If he could be cf service TO the
state and city by taking charge Of the the
enterprise he would be glad to do do.
To Provide for Harvest
senator Wagner has introduced a bill
olrectlng the State Food Commission
10 make provision at once for the har-
vestlng of ice on the Hudson and Mo-
hawk rivers. The War Committee of
the Legislature, it is understood, is in
1avor OF the measure, and it is ex-
favorably on it,
under way, and that the state will soon
nave a large force Of men at work cut
ting and storing ice along the Hudson
and Mohawk said Senator Wagner
last night. Senator Brown and | we're
told to-day by people in position to
know that 10 per cent of the ice con-
sumed in this city is artitically made,
Ihe Federal government has served
notice, it is said, on the artificial ice
makers that they cannot use any con-
siderable amount Of ammonia in max.
ing ice this year, as the ammonia is
needed in the manufacture Of eXplo.

vii! suffer an ice famine next summer
and the deprivation will be felt by rich
and poor alike, but particularly by the
poor. I went to Washington this week
to see Mr.. Hoover, and he told me tha,
he was in favor Of the state going into
the ice harvesting at once. Our inquiry
to-day satisfied US that the cutting
and storage can be handled. if we ge;
at it promptly. Many Of the old ice
houses along the Hudson have not beer
used for years.
"'rhe ice people say that the ice
could be stacked up, and temporary
covering, cheaply constructed, coulc
be put over it, reserving the stool
in the regular ice houses until the last
Under the terms of the bill the state
will finance the undertaking. The prob
lem Of getting the labor may prove
somewhat bothersomc. but in the long
run it will be economy for the state tc
pay high prices for labor, if it has
to. in order to insure sufficient har.
vest Of ice and stave off the suffering
entailed by short supply and higl
prices"
it has been suggested to the wa,
committee that if the state cannot OBJ
tain labor otherwise, the able e-bodiet
inmates of the state prisons might be
used to do the work.

Servant Shortage Vies
With Fuel F. Famine

Add to fuel and sugar and other
famines the house servant shortage.
According to the United States En-
ployment Service of the Department of
Labor, which has opened new Offices
here at 90 East Twenty-second Street,
there is no relief in sight from this
latest stringency. From the Pacific to
the Atlantic have come wild cries for
cooks, mattresses and chambcrmaids.
and no one answers.
Reasons given for this shortage are
the improved status of female workers
because of the war, the increasing
range Of employment for women
opened by the conflict and the decline
in immigration.

Beware the temptation to lay rash hands upon wages.
This the advice Secretary of Commerce Redfied
laid most emphasis upon in address before the
structon of the United States Chamber of Com
here today.
Concentrate your thought, purpose and effort upon

tented labor to farsghted leadership in industry is the
greatest force production and happy they who have
it behind them
mot selfishness, sheer desire for personal
national wealth must control but spirit of profit thru
service. There alone is security"
And Redfield sums it up well when he adds:
There is not doubt prosperity lies ahead for
America" he said but there doubt as to
what use America will make of her prosperity"

While the defeat occurred by small majority never
theess effectively blocks thorogong revision of the state

This is to be regretted.
