ENct AMPS POOR

,Labox Convention Demands
Equal Distribution Of
Eoodstuffs.
SUSPECT TRADESMEN
Government Agrees to Take
Steps to Alleviate
Situation.

London-The demand made by the
labor convention that the government
secure a more equitable distribution OF
foodstuffs arose from the constantly
growing difficulty experienced, espe-
chilly by the poorer classes, in obtain
ing a few staple articles. No diffi-
Guilty has yet been experienced in op-
tanning bread, which. under the gov
eminent subsidy system. Is the cheap
est food on the market.
Potatoes and fresh vegetables also
are plentifue and comparatively cheap.
while meat, although less pientlfui
than formerly. still is in fair supply
and at prices ranging below those of
faxv months ago. This is due also to
government control. Fruits, fresh and
dried, for which the country is depend
ent upon imported supplies, are still
obtainab bile hut at higher prices and ~
limited amounts.
The articles most difficult to obtain
and which has caused quite a scandal
arc tea, butter. lard and margarine
I. is almost Impossible TO purchase
butter Scarcity of milk is nouceabie
only in the poorer districts of the Dig
towns: The lack of milk is due to re-
duced imports of concentrated feeding
stuffs and the blowing up of pasture
land for the growing OF cereals me
shortage in milk is being partly met by
prohibiting the use OF milk or cream IN
the manufacture Of sweetstuffs ana the
stoppage Of the sale Of milk as bcver-
age in restaurants and other places.
The price Of milk, however. is high,
and the government is sbeing urged TO
take steps to secure n cheaper rate to
poor nursing mothers and children.
Trade Dodge Suspected.
The tea scarcity showed itself very
suddenly and many persons suspected
that this was trade dodge to divert
tho people to coffee. Of which 1t Is
believed there are ample supplies IN
the country. especially as 1t is notice
able that there never is any difficulty
in obtaining tea as beverage III
restaurants, luncheon rooms and tea
rooms.
Tea is still in very limited supply
and at high prices, but the government
promises greater supplies WITHIN
couple of months. when i Is hoped
that the requisition of Ccylon ana IN
dian crops will be marketed.
The worst shortage has been IN but
Ter. margarine and lard. Most of the
hotels and restaurants have beeh

refuse to serve butter with dinners

fats Is due TO the cessation of supplies

Done Much to Hurt the Reputation of Other Players
Jake Daubert's Claim Made at Unfortunate Time
Red Sox and Cubs Strike Considered Ill Advised

ny So
GONE Of the professional baseball
- players have the unhappy faculty
fate or whatever it may be. to make
the worst kind OF bad breaks and
thereby cause reflection to be made
on the profession as a class.
The very latest mistake. that
looked awfulIy bad, was the state
ment coming from president Ban
Johnson that. fearing some Of the
worlds champion Red Sox had not
turned, or would not turn over, ten
percent Of their share Of the receipts
Of the title series to the Red Cross or
some other worthy war charity. he
would demand a sworn statement
from every one Of the players that
they had done so.
Now that some Of them must
have neglected TO send in the
money must have become known
to Ham, or else he would not have
mnde public any such statement.
The National commission that had
charge Of the worlds series and the
disposition Of the receipts made il
obligatory for each and every. player
getting share Of the money. no mat
ter how small, to donate 10 percent
Of it to. some war charity.
That any of the Red Sox failed to
do this, and appearances surely
pointed that they did fail was an
other black eye TO the reputation OF
professional baseball players, who
were in bad enough with the public
before
Players Lack Common Sense.
Many Of the players do not use
plain common sense in their dealings
with the public The Red Sox must
have very exaggerated ideas Of how
they stand with the fans. They must
think they are as solid with fandom
as before the war, when conditions
were normal and the baseball stu
alton comparatively quiet.
The Red Sox turned the baseball
public Of the entire country against
them when they struck for a larger
percentage of the gate receipts of the
worlds series the day before the last
game. 1t was very poor time for
them to make their break and as thew
were extremely fortunate in being
TO play the series. the 5udg-
ment the SOx and the Cubs showed
was very bad. It antagonized the
public, and that is what the bali
