MEAT PRICES
INVESTIGATED
BY FOOD HEAD
Rigid Inquiry Planned by
Food Administrator of
the District.

A rigid investigation will be given
meat prices in the District of Column
bia by a special committee to be ap-
pointed today by Clarence r. Wilson.
District food administrator.
II is understood that Jesse c. Ad-
kins. prominent in many trust investi-
cations, will probably head the COM
mittee which will be composed Of
men from the Bureau OF Animal Re-
search, Department OF Agriculture.
and SO forth.
For the last several weeks Admin
istrator Wilson has been watching the
advancing prices of meats, and after
giving the question due consideration
he decided that an investigation was
necessary.
Many housewives have appealed TO
Mr.. Wilson. stating that they have
had TO pay as much as 81 cents a
pound for round steak, and 20 cents
a pound for chuck steak. Figures
now on file show that in some cases
the retailers prices are 100 per cent
above those charged by wholesalers.
The weekly fair price list issued
by the local food administration does
not include meats, as there are many
grades and cuts. Hams and bacon
may. however, soon be added to the
list.

There are 10000 men in the navy

The young men Of today have
shown that they have the stuff, that

They were supposed to be soft and

RIVETER
WINS PRIZE OF
LONDON PAPER
Rivalry in American and
English Shipyards Is
Becoming Keen.

Charles knight, a negro riveter,
employed by the Bethlehem Ship
building Corporation at Sparrow
Point. Maryland, has been awarded
the prize of twenty-five pounds
(about $125) offered by the London
Daily Mail for the worlds riveting
record. On May Is, Knight and his
gang, all negroes, drove 4,S75 rivets
in ME hours. thereby beating by $50
rivets the previous worlds record
made on the preceding day by a
British riveting gang in the Dali
muir Yards. Of the Beardmore Com
pany on the Clyde.
Chairman Hurley was informed
yesterday that Lord Northcliffe had
cabled his representative in this
country to pay the prize to knight.
Chairman Hurley made it an op-
portunity to send a letter of ap-
probation and congratulation to
Knight and his gang, and also to
encourage international rivalry by
a cablegram to Lord Northcliffe.
Chairman Hurley told Of knights
feat in his cable and added:
American shipyard workers well
come the friendly rivalry of Brit
ish riveters. and admire their ca
bled records and sportsmanship.
Steps are now being taken here to
reduce riveting achievements to
systematic scores. American ship
yard workers believe we have the
fastest riveters in world. and IL
further details concerning British
records are sent us, such as
diameter of rivets driven. anture
and location of work, on ship or
ground. and number of men in gang,
will endeavor to exceed best Brit
ish performances. Riveting inter-
est in this country now swinging to
tonnage. Gangs in every shipyard
working to add one or more rivets
per hour to average gang output.
Five additional rivets per hour gang
for all good men in ygood-sfzed ship
yards means building one 10000 ton
steel freighter in ten weeks. Work.
ers here will welcome British COM

out changing our basis of draft.
From these figures it may be seen
that there is no present need for
worry as to our ability to raise men
to match the Kaiser. In fact, army
officials declare, the percentage Of
men from the original draft who are
eligible for service is increasi
rather than decreasing.
Hundreds of men, who originally
filed claims for exemption on de-
tendency grounds, are now with
drawing these claims and reporting
themselves for Class 1.
Registrants' Wives Employed.
In most of these cases the wives
of the registrants have found profita-
hle employment, due to the greater
demand for wcmen' workers.
The men. no longer required for
the support of the wives, are anx-
ious to get into the army.
Also hundreds of cases have de-
veloped where men have waived
their Industrial classification and
have asked to be- placed in Class 1
SO they might be subject to early
call.

1917, consisted of 121,797 enlisted
regulars, 76,713 national guardmen
and 1000 members of the Reserve

202.510. In the first year of our
participation in the war, then, dur
trs which we have had to build up

organize all our training and equip

our army by 1.9S5,316.
Now that our machinery for draft

may be expected to handle at least
an equal number during the next IL

Secretary of War Baker has refus-

First Open Breach.
This is the first open breach be-
tween any of the officials and the
railroads head. although there have
been continual rumors that various
officers were not giving their fullest
cooperation to the government pro-
gram. Specific cases have been
mentioned, without the names of
the officials becoming known, OF
disincIination to accept orders orig
mating in Washington or in the
headquarters of the three regional
directors. These stories were start
ed within a few days after the gov
eminent took control.
Mr.. Huntington remains as head Of
the railway corporation. 1t il re-
quired to pay his salary out Of cor
poration funds which the government
pays for use of the road. He will
not be paid out Of the operating
funds.
Differed on Improvements.
While no definite statement was
forthcoming from Director McAdoo's
office, 1t was said that Mr.. Hunting
toms removal came as the result of
differences over improvements and
maintenance. The Virginian Railway.
which is a coal-carrying road rum
ming from Deepwater, W. Va.,- to
Norfolk. sought q mucn larger budget
for betterments, equipment and exten-
sions that Mr.. McAdoo thought was
necessary. The, ,offieials asked for

to 1881, ,3S7.
Contemplated extensions and i'm
provements had to be eliminated, ne
cessitating a revision of the arranged
plan of the road. The exact nature
of the differences between Mr.. Hunt
ington and the Railroads Administra-
ton were not disclosed.
There has been no hint previously
of any disaffection between Mr.. Hunt
