Only IL Ships in
New York Harbor
Get Bunker Coal
Falling OF Due to Ice and
Breakdown of
Tugs

Only seventeen ocean going ships
were supplied with coal in New York
harbor yesterday. Twenty were coaled
or Tuesday. This falling eff was large
ly due to the ice foes in the harbor and
tho breakdown Of tugs There are
now seventy-one ships waiting in tho
liarbor to be bunkcred.
Deputy Marine Superintendent w. P.
Pollock reported that ninety-three
barges, with 81, ,63S tons of bituminous
and 1921 tons of anthracite, had been
towed during the twenty-four hours
ended at 6 o'clock yesterday morning.
The breakdown Of harbor tugs be-
came serious yesterday, when it was re-
ported that thirty-two railroad and fif-
ty-nine privately owned tugs were in
drydocks or undergoing repairs else
where. There are only about 1870 pri-
vately owned tugs plying in New York
harbor, SO that 33 per cent of the fleet
is temporarily out of commission.
Eugene +. Moran, president of the
Moran Towing Company, II Battery
place, said the harbor conditions were
the worst he had known in twenty five
years.
Back in 1899 and again in 1908 we
had some severe weather, but it never
lasted more than four or five days at
stretch" he said. "This cold snap
and intermittent snow storm bas lasted
since the middle Of Decembcl.'

Newsprint Men Organize
Association Succeeding One
Recently Dissolved Said To
Be Legal Proof

Representatives of the newspyint in
dustry met at the Waldorf storia
Hotel yesterday and approved the ar
ticles of incorporation for the forma-
tion of the Newsprint Manufacturers
Association, which is to succeed the or
ganization of the trade recently dis
solved by court decree.
The plan of the new organization is
absolutely legal proof. according to
Henry A. Wise, counsel for the assoca-
ton. "Whcreas the government be-
lieves the old organization Illegal" said
Mr.. Wise, this is an entirely new at
tempt to get the advantages which
trade organizations give without trans
crossing the law. After pcrusing the
statement of what the men in the in
dustry purpose to do, as set down at
length in the new articles, any one who
can find anything illegal must be a
fine-spun individual.
"The personnel of the new organiza-
ton will be substantially that of the
old, as representatives of so per cent Of
the firms in the newsprnt field were
represented in that"

Is Per Cent Saved
BY Meatless Days
Reduction Made 1t Possible to
Supply Army, Navy
and Allies

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-Meatless days
have resulted in 25 per cent decrease
in consumption, according to the re-
port of Armour & Co. to-day.
The business of the company in the
United States> in 1917 amounted to
$575,O0O,OOO, on which a net profit of
$21 100000 was earned. The firms
business in products originating in>this
country--sold both here and abroad
was $50, 100000 greater than the world
business Of the firm in 1916.
Net income last year was equivalent
to 14.6 per cent on the company's IN
vested capital and to 81 per cent on
the outstanding capital stock. The
profit from the sale of meat and other
food products amounted to 2.21 cents
on each dollar of sa.es. In 1916 total
profits were S20,1O0,000, equal to 14.7
per cent on the investment and 20 per
cont on the capital stock.
}. Ogden Armour, in a statement ac-
companying the financial report, Of
fered as an explanation for the high
price of meat products during the last
year the fact that live meat animals
cost approximately 81 per cent more
than they did the preceding year.
In regard to meatless days, he said
that these have proved beneficial in
reducing consumption and enabling the
packers to care for the needs OF the
army, navy and Allies.
Mr. Armour said that his company
welcomed government supervision and
regulation under existing war condi-
tons The close cooperation which
the company has received from the
Food Administrator has made the gov
crnment apprec its many complex
problems, he said.

Stole News Messages
From "Staats-Zeitung"
Daily Thefts Solved When
South American Corre-
spondent Confesses

The practice Of mysterious messen-
ger, who daily distracted papers from
a letter box at the entrance of the
Staats-Zcitung Building, 1872 William
Street, led yesterday to the discovery
that Associated Press dispatches re-
ceived by the German newspaper were
being stolen and probably transmitted
to South America.
For several days a detective disguised
as a wagon driver has maintained {.
watch on the Stats -Zeitung Building
and observed the messenger, it was
learned He was repeatedly seen to
take papers from the letter box, but all
attempts to arrest him failed, the mes
senger eluding pursuit in Park Row.
Yesterday when the man appeared he
was apprehended Associated Press
dispatches were found in his posses
sion.
Taken before John C. Knox, Assist
ant United States Attorney, the letter
box visitor gave his name as Giulio
Arbaiza. He said he was the New York
newspaper published in Buenos Ayres.
He admitted transmitting the dis
patches to his paper, according to Mr..
Knox, and declared he had purchase
them from an Associated Press EN-
ploye stationed in the "Staats -Zeitung''
Office. Bernard Rdder, questioned by
Mr.. Knox, denied knowledge of the
transaction or Of Arbaiza.
Arbaiza was turned over to William
c. Offley, superintendent of the Bureau
of Investigation of the Department of
Justice, who will examine the dis
patches sent by him to LA Union"
Arbaiza Mr.. Knox said, has been in
difficulty with the censorship author.-

Empty Coal Bins
Keep Many Plants
Here i'm Idleness
Hundreds Unable to Re-
open at End Of Five Days
Closing Period

The wheels of New York industry
Garfieldian vacation period, and they
started up yesterday in smooth running
order-that is, those able to get coal.
Hundreds of plants remained idle
yesterday, even though the Garfield ban
had been lifted. They could not open
because they could not procure coal.
These were the "less essential" indus
tries, which were not on the fuel ad-
ministration's priority list.
local Fuel Administrators frankly
admitted that it might be a long, long
time before such industries would be
able to open up.
AS to the actual number of plants
still closed down, Fuel administrators
and industrial experts said they must
run into the hundreds. Fuel Admin
lstrators reasoned that the number of
plants closed down because of no coal
must represent no incoh.iderabIe per-
ccntage of New York industries. The
coal receipts lately have not been one
half of New York normal need, which
is 100000 tons daily.
AS state Fuel Administrator Wiggin
put it, the number of lesser essential
industries which were abe to open yes
terday was largely determined by the
number which had reserve stocks Of
coal on hand when the holiday season
opened.
When those reserve stocks are ex-
hausted-the Fuel Administrators yes
terday predicted no bright future for
the lesser essential plants. They may
remain closed until the abnormal war
demand for coal has passed
The industries which resumed oper-
alton found no particular difficulty in
starting up after five days of idleness.
Workmen were at their usual places at
the toot Of the whistle They were
eager to get back to work.
Many employers feared a scarcity of
labor when the industries should re-
sumo operation. Some employers ex-
pected that workers would flock to pub
nc utilities or to war plants, where
they would not be affected by any fur
ure order from Dr.. Garfield. Such was
not the case.
There was comparatively no shifting
of labor during the shutdown" said L.
3. Woodcock, of the Clearing House for
Employment Offices.
The Retail Drygoods Association sent
ITS attorney. Edmond Wise, to Wash
lngton to get a decision on the pro-
posal that department stores remain
open from 10 to o'clock six davs a
week instead of closing Monday.

as Germany is in military warfare, one

lie urged that the bill be amended to
clearly provide that it is war meas
urc and should not be taken as a prec-
edent for future legislation after GOV
ernment control over the railroads has
been rclinquished.
Increased Passenger Rates Unnecessary
Mr.. McAdQo thought Federal con-
troll would not affect the states rights
to tax the roads. He did not believe
an increase IN passenger fares to dis
courage travel was necessary now, but
II freight congestion became so acute
as to demand passenger equipment, he
said he would not hesitate materially
to increase passenger rates.
He reiterated his belief that the
PRESIDENT has power to fix interstate
rates, but he believed the State Com
missions should continue their super
VISION over intrastate rates. He again
expressed belief that the right of the
President to fix rates would not be
exercised except in emergency cases.
The railroad administration he said,

by the government, and those not
needed will be advised to continue
their operation in the same manner as
before Federal control began.
{. A. Prouty, head of the Valuation
Department of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, told the committee
he did not agree with the opinion ex-
pressed by Director General McAdoo
that the power to fix rates should be
paramount with the President. He did
not go into the question further.

that the House committee hearings
will end with to-morrow's session.

were former Senator Bristow, member
of the Kansas State Railroad Commits
sion, and Grady Carey, of Louisville,

prices official for the trade Let house
wives keep away from stores that show
no inclination to observe these prices -
Mr.. Mitchell told the tradesmen that
there is no intention Of unduly cxer-
cising authority in the matter of the
labelling law, which makes it compul-
sorry for all storekeepers to put price
and grade labels on all goods exhibited
for sale.
"The trade" he said, "will be given
another week Or ten days in which to
arrange for the labelling of all the
commodities in the rule; after that. in
spectors will be instructed to make ar
rests for violations"
In view Of the fact that new sugar
is coming into the local market, though
slowly, the Food Board issued a price
list showing the present compulsory
sugar prices and those that will prob
ably be placed upon the new product.
They indicate that when the new
sugar reaches the retailers the price
to the consumer will be fixed at 81
cents pound.
The old basis will be maintained
until most of the old sugar has been
disposed of, probably about three
