UNCOvERING CITY
FROM SNOW Pile

Chicago, Jan. 14-An army of
workers estimated at more than 1OO,-
900, including $4,000 school boys, to-
day resumed the attack on the great
snow .1rifts that for 4S hours tied up
railroad traffic in this city and vicin-
ity and caused what the health au-
'thor1ties termed an alarming shortage
of fuel and milk.
As an emergency measure the pub
lie schools of the city did not open
today, the board of education having
decided that the boys could render
valuable service in clearing away the
snow.
Every one of the 81 steam railroads
entering Chicago resumed limited ser

be at least two days more before any
thing like normal passengers sched-
ules could be established and perhaps
"a week would elapse before movement

GROCERIES MINUS GAMBLING

"a year ago, when we were at peace
with the world, saw the grocers of
New York, Philadelphia, and 'Balti-
more mobbed, and their goods taken
away without any compensation. The
speculator and gambler in foods were
the cause of all the trouble. Most of
them were rank outsiders, and in no
way connected with the grocery bust
ness. They had cornered enough of
our food supply to raise the rest away
beyond the reach of the poor and they
were fighting for bread. Owing to
the war, the demand for food is twice
as great now as it was a year ago, and
yet no grocer has been mobbed and
robbed in broad daylight, simply be-
cause Herbert Hoover has smoked the
food gambler out of business. The
food gambler in the past has recog-
nized neither God, man, nor the Kais-
err, and it is certainly a pleasure now
to see him get down on all tours for

DEFENSE COUNCIL
is COOPERATING
WITH RED CROSS

Hartford, Jan. 15.-The Connecticut
State Council of Defense and its
agencies in towns and cities through
out the state are working in closest
cooperation with the American Red
Cross. Inquiry at the councils head
quarters at the State Capitol today
revealed that all the war bureaus and
town committees representing the
council have been instructed to work
in closest cooperation with the Home
Service Section of the Red Cross in
their localities.
All work for the welfare of the fam
lilies of men and officers in the armed
service of the United States and it's
allies and of their families resident in
this country, which is the field of
work which the Home Service Section
of the Red Cross is authorized to
cover, is to be referred to the local
section of the Red Cross, the council
has ruled. Any relief or charitable
work outside of this field to be under
taken by a war bureau, the council
has directed, should tbe entrusted to
q committee, distinct from the Red
Cross Home Service Section Commit
tee.
In this way, the council hopes to
guard against any conf1iction or du-
plication of work in the feld of the
Red Cross, at the same time making
available to local branches of that
| national organization the large
amount of data which has been and
will be collected by the councils local
agents and which will be Of great
value in the work to be done.
In a recent letter to the council, Al
exander W. Wilson of New York, di-
rector of civilian relief of the Atlantic
Division of the Red Cross, wrote:
Il have read with interest the pro-
gram you have outlined for your wal
bureaus, and am delighted with it.
