$95,O0O,00O in This
State Alone
100000 Workers
Out in Chicago
1000 Plants in Cincinnati
to Close-Thousands
in Philadelphia

The Nuol Administrators closing
order means an immediate loss in
wages alone of about 5000 900 in this
state, according to estimates made last
night. This estimate is based on the
five "workless days." plus the nine
legal holiday" Mondays set aside by
DR.. Garfield. The loss in wages
throughout the twenty seven states in
volved is estimated at more than
$3.50, 900
REPORTS from all important centres
OF population and industry east of the
Mississippi River emphasize the rcvo-
lutionary effects Fuel Administrators
Garficld's drastic order will have upon
the laboring classes.
Hundreds of thousands of men will
be thrown out Of work, with the loss
OF many millions in wages. Almost
nowhere, however, was there a DISPOSE
ton to contest or resist the order,
though here and there the opinion was
expressed that it would not work as
the Fuel Administrator intended.
Statistics on the states involved.

DR.. Henry Moskowitz, for many years
a settlement worker on the East Side.
"The poor have had to suffer enough
from the high price of food and the

VETS STILL FIGHT
Will Make Desperate Effort To
Postpone Prohibition.
Raise Old Cry of Business Ruin
and Loss of Taxes.

Washington, July lin a final
desperate effort to delay war time pro-
hibition, senate vets today planned
to call up the wire control resolutions.
By keeping this before the senate con-
tinually until disposed of, they hope
to persuade senate leaders to recess
for the summer, leaving prohibition
undisposed of.
A second move, counted on to be
more effective, is the sounding of
warning that war time prohibition,
suddenly imposed, will ruin banks
holding liquor obligations and seri-
ously interfere with the raising of
war revenues under the new tax bill
Will Start Bank Scare.
Senator Simmons. chairman of the
finance committee, is to present fig
ures showing that more than half a
billion dollars would be required to
get out of bond the 170,000,O00 gal
Ions of whisky now on hand. The tax
on this is $500 gallon.
Simmons will argue that 1t would be
impossible to get the money necessary
for withdrawal of the liquor. He will
point out that many banks are heavily
loaded with warehouse receipts and
notes against which they have loaned
large sums to distillers, wholesale
grocers and druggists to pay floor
taxes. Unless the banks are given
time to relieve themselves of this
paper they will fail, Simmons will
argue.
He will submit figures showing how
prohibition will reduce the national
revenues at a time when they have
need for every dollar that can be
raised, even at the expenses of the
peoples clothing. Upon the showing
thus made Simmons is being urged to
ask that the senate allow the finance
committee to work out plan for grad
ual reduction of the revenues and for
safeguarding banks. If this is agreed
to, it would mean postponement of
prohibition for a period considerably
longer than the five months provided
for in the amendment now pending.
If supporters of the telegraph reso-
luton are able to force consideration
of that measure, Simmons will hold
his arguments and figures in reserve
for use when needed.
Drys claimed today that all doubt
that prohibition is certain, so far as
the senate is concerned. was removed
by the vote late yesterday on the rul-
ing of Senator salisbury that the pro-
hibition amendment was out of order.
