Grain for Alcohol.

Obviously nationwide prohibition will cut sharply into the use of the ce- reals in the manufacture of alcoholic liquors for beverage purposes. At the same time it is regarded as assured that more alcohol will be manufac- tured than ever before for use In the liberal arts and in manufactures gen. erally, this to be denatured and thus absolutely unfit for drinking purposes. Plans are under way, however, for greatly increased output of alcohol as above noted, some of this undoubtedly to be made from grain, while large quantities it now appears will be pro- duced from cheap molasses brought from the West Indies. Official chem ists have been able to secure from this not only alcohol but also the use of residue for the production of glycerin, something of increasingly large con- sumption. Glycerin is very largely used in making nitroglycerin, transpar- ent soaps, lubricants, printers inks, ofo

ICE RAT|ONS BEGIN,
PRICES UNCHANGED
Retailers May Increase Charges
Due to Business Decrease,
Jay Cooke Asserts
LESS WORK FOR DEALERS

The city ice rationing system went
into effect today, and although no gen
"ral increase in price has been reported.
another wallop for the public is not
unlikely.
1t Is considered probable that some Of
the small dealers may charge the con -
sumcr slightly more money to make up
loss in sales.
This point was made TO-DAY by Jay
Cooke, former federal food administra =
tor for Philadelphia, who now repre- =
scnts the city as ice administrator, co =
operating with representative ice manu-
facturers and dealers.
Mr.. Cooke said that he has not the
power he held as food administrator
and that If any cases of cxtortion were
brought to light, it would be matter
for investigation by the district attorney
rather than for his office.
There has been no increase in the
price charged for ice at the manufac
turing plants, Mr.. Cooke said. He
added that he did not believe the price
would be raised above the present price
of So. The large dealers, he said, are
not likely to attempt an increase in
cost to the consumer.
While no evidence of any increase
is in his hands, the administrator
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-07-10

pointed out that some of the smaller
dealers, whose supply has been cut
by the rationing system, may attempt
TO charge a few cents more a hundred
pounds to make up their loss through
smaller sales.
Explaining the case, he said:
"a dealer who formerly purchased
100 tons of ice from manufacturer
may now only receive seventy five tons.
He therefore loses his profit on twenty
five tons sold at retail. To make this
up he may charge few cents more
for his ice, although any evidence of
this has not been brought to my no.
tice. 1t is for us to wait and see what
happens"
Private families taking twenty five
pounds of ice or less daily are not
touched by the rationing system.
Neither are hospitals. milk and meat
dealers and ice cream manufacturers.
Virtually all other users will see their
supplies cut between so and 10 per
cent.

Three of the strikers were arrested

was being handled from Washington.
AS fast as ships enter port pickets
inform the seamen of the strike. Pick
cts also have been posted at the railway
stations to prevent the importing Of
non union seamen.
The steamship Alapaha, ready to sail
for Havrc with a cargo of coal, and the
steamship Battahachie, ready to put out
for Rotterdam with n cargo of coal, are
held up because of the strike, the lead
crs contend.
Other ships due to sail this week. it
is said, will not be able to put to sea.
William Rice, chief engineer of the
Philadelphia Bourse and agent for the
Sea Service Bureau, says 90 per cent of
the strikers are foreigners.
The strike was called by the Inter-
national Seamen's Union. The body S
headquarters is in Chicago. The men
demand an increase of S15 month.
