ARMY FOOD IS
SOON SOLD OUT.
Canned Goods Attract Large
Numbers to the Firehouses
MANY ARE DISAPPOINTED
Not Enough to Go Around, So
Large Were the Crowds
Of Purchasers

The $4,000 cans of army food
placed on sale in the fire houses of
the city, were disposed of in one
hours time after the doors opened
for the sale. Hundreds, however,
were disappointed, not being able to
get near the places where the goods
were on sale. Never before has there
been such a demand on the part of
residents here for army food.
Efforts were made to limit the
number of cans sold to one person to
six in order to give more chance
to secure the food, but this was a diff
fcult matter as several members of
son1e families bought the maximum
supply, this resulting in others not
being fortunate enough to get any.
Crowds started to form In front of
the firehouses before o'clock and
when the doors were opened at 10
o'clock the prospective buyers form
ed a crowd which extended into the
streets. 1t was impossible to form
line and 1t was case of first
come, first served" and Everybody
for himself when the doors were
thrown open.
In the Eagles firehouse the last of
the goods had disappeared within
thirty minutes after the doors open
ed and at the Washington house in
Rector street it took just ,forty-five
minutes to dispose of the last can.
In all of the other houses one nour
was the longest the supply lasted.
This mornings sale was the last of
government food which will be Offer
ed to the residents here. The low
price at which The goods was offered
and the fact that it could be kept
without any danger of spelling made
it the most popular of any sales yet
conducted.
AS a result of the sales of army
food here residents have been given
an opportunity to take slap at old
Mr.. H. G. of l.. and get some food at
the lowest prices possible.

PARIS, Oct. 3-Complying with
suggestions made by various mem
bers of the supreme council, the Jugo-
Slav government. it is learned. has
given special instructions to all Jugo-
Slay officers to avoid clashes with the
italians. This precaution was ad-
vised because there appears to be the
general belief among the peace con-
ference delegates that certain ele-
ments among the Italians are seeking
trouble with the Jugo-Slavs as an ex-
cuse for the absence of additional
territory along the Dalmatian coast.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 3.-Giving a
detail history of union activities in
the steel industry, Michael F. Tighe,
president of the Iron. Steel and Tin
Workers Union, told the senate COM
mittee investigating the steel strike
today that the United States Steel
Corporation instead of leading the
van in advancing wages as Judge Gary
has claimed, has Jagged behind our or
ganization."
Mr.. Tighe repeated the charge that
the steel corporation early In its his
tory had appropriated $40, ,000,0 900 to
fight the union. The unions, he said,
had never sought the closed shop, but
union shop.
when the management signed a
contract as to scales and working con-
ditions, 1t is union shop" he ex-
planned.
'"The effect is the same as a closed
shop, isn't it 2" asked Senator Sterling,

The twelfth day OF the steel strike
opened today with virtually no change
in the situation at the steel produc-

strikers were apparently holding
firm, pending the result of the inves-
tigation being conducted by the Sen
ate Labor Committee in Washing
ton.
Employers in the Chicago and
youngstown districts reported more
men returning to work, but strike
leaders disputed these claims and in
sisted that the strikers were remain
ing loyal. The only change In the
situation at Bethlehem was In the
announcement by steel union officials
that bricklayers and plasterers had
walked out in sympathy with the
steel workers.
From the Pittsburgh district came
reports of plans on the part of en-
ployers to attempt to open shops,
now closed down, beginning Monday
in an effort to cause a break in the
strikers ranks.
At Washington the senate COM
mittee was hearing the testimony Of
union leaders.

Plan to Reopen Plants.


PITTSBURGH, Oct. 3-Evidence
of another serious attempt on the
part of employers to make breach
in the ranks of the steel workers next
Monday, when the third week of the
walkout begins, was apparent today
when reports came from company
sources that preparations were being
made to open several plants now shut
down and in otherwise providing for
a larger return of men.
Although no definite figures were
available, union organizers in the
Pittsburgh district said they have
made big inroads on the working
forces on many of the large plants
within the past two days.

Washington, March 3.-Salesmen and other employees receiving per diem allowances in addition to regu- lar salaries are required to report these allowances in income tax re- turns, the internal revenue bureau announced today.
 Living expenses are not allowable deductions, even though incurred in carrying on business, and amounts paid for board and lodging by per sons who travel in the course of their employment are considered liy- ing expenses. Any excess of a per diem allowance over living expenses is taxable income.
 A salesman who has to pay for the use of sample room is entitled to deduct such payment as business expense and any travelling man is entitled to deduct railroad fares paid by him in carrying on his occupa- ton.
