A formal conference between the
managers and the Equity leaders was

make a public statement until after
the conference. This was declared
to be a pledge, and because Of Il, Paul
Turner, counsel for the actors, said
!. he wouldn't even tell who won the
strike. But everybody knew.
The decisive blow It is generally
agreed in Broadway was the action
OF the stage hands last night in call
Ing special strike against all Shu-
bert theatres and productions in the
country. This was done on the theory
that the Shuberts were the backbope
OF the resistance on the part OF the
Producing Managers Association.

instantaneous.

HIGH FOOD DIVIDE
CROSSED, DECLARES
FAIR PRICE" MAN
But Food Administrators New
List Shows Several Sharp
Advances.

Or. Joseph c. Day. Commissioner Of
Aarksts, in charge Of army food
sales. issued a warning to-day against
wholesale and retail dealers who are
believed to have bought up large
quantities OF evaporated fruits placed
on sale By the city.
pr. Day has information which
leads him 70 believe. he says, that
number OF east side dealers have been
able 20 acquire large quantities of
prunes and other dried fruits at the
low price Of is cents a pound, fixed
by the city. and have been selling
them To consumers for the same price
asked for fruits which they have been
buying from regular wholesalers at Is
cents.
Many dealers have purchased
quantities OF army food from the city
on the understanding that they were
acting for groups Of CONSUMERS"
said Or. Day we have no objection
70 this. In fact, we try to encourage
this method OF getting the food to the
consumer. but we want to get after
the dealer who practises deception
and who acquires the army food by
false pretenses and retails It to the
consumer at protiteering prices
THE public could help us in pre-
venting this by giving Us informa-
tion about these fraudulent dealers.
We don't want any anonymous in
formation. We want definite facts
about specific cases."
Dr. Day announced that the schools
will be open Monday for food sales.
but would be closed on Wednesday.
Pefshing Day.
Army food sales yesterday were
$4,000, Manhattan leading with
$4,000. The sales in the other bor-
oushs were: Bronx, $4,000; Brook
lyn, $1,000: oueehs. $4,000; Rich
mond. $1,000.
Food lists made public to-day show
prices have been stabilized and are
now taking q downward trend, ac-
cording TO Federal Food Admins
traitor Williams. The new fair price
List governs retailers in meats and
groceries until next Wednesday, and
Mr.. Williams says:
"rhe fair price list for the end of
the present week shows increases and
decreases in both meats ana groceries
which, averaged. leave the result
about the same as indicated by the
last previous price list In groceries
four items show an Increase, namely:
Cannd tomatoes. Sc Of a cent;
butter of both grades, Il cent to 1
cent? potatoes, 500 OF a cent, and
onions, u cent The decreases are:
Domestic lima beans, u cent; pea or
medium, \ cent; corn meal. x cent;
lard, y to III cents. The average
difference between the two groups is
an increase OF 6-l0 OF / cent.
I'm meats. six items show an In
crease and five items decrease: four
items OF lamb, an increase OF cent
a pound; two items OF pork. . cents a
pound. Five items OF beef show de-
creases in the low range of the mar
gin. and no increase on the high side
Of the margin. Numerically speaking
the six items OF increase aggregate
the figure 8. while the 1ye items
OF decrease aggregate the figure
10: the average between both groups
appears to result In a slight decrease.
Seven other meat items show no
change compared with the last price
