War is Just one food innovation AZ

whale. And the prospect isn't so bad
as it sounds. We're not destined to
eat the bluhber, but the lean meat or
steak, which according to current ac
counts is so desirable that, after
taste Of it, the great American public
will rise up and clamor for whale.
They had a whale dinner in New
York the other day. They had pickl.

whale planked steak The meat was
pronounced by epicures to taste
more like yenison than anything
else In all three forms il made a
decided hit And the guests mouths
watered for more cetacean as the chef
of Delmonc0's explained the various
delectable ways in which It could be
broiled, baked, stewed, fried, curried

the sewer department, because Of
shortage OF funds.'"
One Of the men laid OF was Charles
Gerber. secretary Of the strikers aSSocia-
ton.
The point at issue becomes one Of
whether or not the twenty-five men
were laid on because they were union
members or members OF the association.
which Is an independent body. The
strikers. through Mr.. Hurley and Mr..
Gerber, take the ground that that was
the reason.
Officials point out that the Iay-ofs were
being made before any trouble arose.
and were solely because the end Of the
fiscal year was approaching. and funds
had run so low that the force had 70 be
curtailed.
Commissioner Brownlow referred all
inquirers to Engineer Commissioner
Knight, saying the communication %
Mr.. Hurley was in some respects vague
and must be studied before its complete
meaning may be understood"
Hurley Not Accessible.
Mr.. Hurley was not to be found. He
sent his letter to the District build
ing, and efforts to locate him by teIe-
phone failed.
The Commissioners and subordinate
officials began prepaEations to adjust
department matters to carry on the
Districts work until some adjustment
is effected. There is a disposition to
view the situation calmly.
The strike necessarily will interfere
seriously with the conduct of the af-
fairs Of the municipality, but efforts
Will be made to provide such neces-
sary service as will maintain the
city's sanitation with efficiency.
Intervention Is Invited.
The District Commissioners have
written to the Secretary Of Labor,
asking him to use his good Offices in
an effort to adjust the strike Of the
District Iaborers.
The twenty-five men who have been
laid OF may find work in the sewer
department, the department in which
they were employed, IL they will apply
to the construction division. The men
laid OF had been at work at the sew
age pumping plant and the appropria-
ton available for their wages necessi-
tated their being laid of.
1t is understood. however, that in
the construction division, money is
so that there need be no

FAIR FOOD PRICE
. LIST WILL DOWN
RETAIL PROFITEER

Standardization OF retail food
prices by local committees to be pub
Iished for the guidance of housewives
will begin at once by order OF Food
Administrator Herbert Hoover, who
in an announcement last night dV
clared he would make war on the
retail profiteer. This action is d.
rectly in line with a suggestion FIRST
advanced in the editorial columns OF
The Times.
Throughout the medium OF the fair
price list" to be published in every
community where food is sold, the
Food Administration believes It can
virtually eliminate the retail food
prohteer.
II will be difficult, the AdmInIstra-
ton believes, for any grocer to put
something over" on lhis customers
once the new system Is put into effect
and housewives begin to give thsIT
1ooa bulS more careful attention
