Double perrormers.

The other night Mrs. Carrie B. Adams, leader of Terre Haute's com munity singing, and Maj. Birch Bayh. of the Indiana State Normal school. were on the same program. Now, Mrs. Adams did not know that Ma jor Bayh was the speaker of the eve ming, but she did know that he could sing. So when the audience seemed rather tired she turned to Mr. Bayh and said: You sing the next verse as a solo,"
 Major Bayh seemed embarrassed, but complied with her request. Hard iy had he taken his seat when his speech was announced. He arose, greeted his audience and then turned to Mrs. Adams: Now. before I get through I'm going ito call on you to play 'ring-around-the-ros or do some stunt out here on the floor," he threatened.
 The audience laughed, but Mrs. Adams was evidently bluffed. for she immediately found 1t necessary to go in search of her coat.-Indianapolis News.

twenty-five bakeries were boycotted
by customers and mobbed by agitators
in the 9th Assembly District yesterday
as result of the mass meeting of the
Socialist Consumers League, held in
the Lenox Assembly Rooms, Second
Street and Avenue C., Tuesday night
1t was with difficulty that the police
prevented rioting among the excited
and ciamorous women who mobbed the
bakeshops and held meetings at the
street corners. Three thousand women
are interested in the bread strike and
hundreds of homes are affected. The
police look for serious complications
within the next two days. 1t is said
to be the intention of the striking
cloak makers to aid and abet the wom-
en- in their demand that the price of
bread be reduced from 8 to cents
and rolls from 90 to 18 cents.
The ovens in the district were work
ing overtime yesterday. The women
are making preparations fora long

munching matzohs, bought in grocery
stores.
Hundreds of Homes Hit
Agitation commenced in the district
with the first raucous sounds of matu-
tinal life yesterday. Plans for vol
unteer picketing had been laid by Mrs.
Rose Elias, organizer Of the Consum
ers' League; Mrs. S. Weingart, Louis
'Sperling, manager of the Peoples Co.
operative Society, and others. In all
$50 women were detailed for picket
duty. but they soon resolved them-
selves into an unruly mob, which was
out to find what the trouble was. In
no time scores of screaming, chatter
ing, gesticulating women formed self
appointed bodyguards around the doors
OF the bake shops.
Any one who attempted to enter was
held up, and few had the pluck to break
down the solid barrier which confront
ed them at the door of every bakery
The local policemen had to send for
reserves to break up the mobs and to
keep an eye on the street corner meet

Banners over the improvised plat
forms declamed the high cost of liv-

Doesn't Want Relatives in

That the Scrap Is Over''
Big Cargo for the Thala
Army Lieutenant and Fed
eral Official Among Those
Who Have Engaged Space

A United States soldier, recently re-
turned from France, with two wound
stripes on his sleeve, accompanied his
mother yesterday to the offices of the
Balkan-American Express and Naviga-
tion Company, at % Broad Street That
is the corporation which has char
tered the steamer Thala to sail June
5 with cargo Of foodstuffs for Ger
many.
They made reservation for the
shipment of quantity Of canned
meats, chocolate and other articles of
diet to the mothers relatives in
Bremen.
"In addition to my son here" said
the mother, "I have two brothers in
the American army, both of whom
fought overseas. Three other brothers
were in the German army, and it is
to them and my mother. ninety-two
years old, that I wish to send food"
+ "You didn't happen to ever meet
did you?" an official of the company
asked the soldier
He said he had not.
Would you have shot them, if
necessary, had you met them ?"
After the Battle
You bet would" was the response.
"But I don't want them to starve
to death now that the scrap is over"
The Thala is due at New York to-
day from San Francisco, and work of
loading her with German relief food
stuffs will begin Immediately. She
will discharge her cargo at Hamburg
and the packages will be distributed
to various parts Of Germany. The
Balkan American Express and Navica-
ton Company chartered the vessel
shortly after the war trade board, on
April %, announced that shipments of
food for Germany would be permitted
Ever since the projected sailing of
the Thala was made known the Offices
OF the company have been besieged by

yesterday with grain handlers, millers,
-four jobbers and bakers in the office
OF the Food Administration Grain Cor
poration, AZ Broadway
Mr.. Barnes announced that all the
interests concerned had agreed that if
lower basis fer the price of wheat is
justified as the season advances the
reduction shall reach the consumer of
bread. He issued this statement, CIV
ing the results of the agreement:
"There was a general agreement, in
order that all the wheat producers of
the country should secure equal bene-
fits, that the various trades could be
bound by contracts to see that wheat
trading should be only on, the guaran-
teed price, and if lower basis was
justified with the developments of
world factors as the season advanced,
this lower basis should be made to
reach the consumer by trade agree
ments with millers and manufacturing
facilities, the wheat director making
the readjusting basis effective by the
payment of the difference, as allowed
allowed under act of Congress.
Protection Is Asked
"1n return for protection against a
fall in price, after the guaranteed
price had been made for wheat bought.
the wheat director would require from
the various trades contract obligations
by which their trade practices and
margins of profit would be subject to
his review and control.
ut was suggested, for instance, that
the mills agree that their total gross
operating profits between wheat bought
and the finished products sold v should
not exceed an agreed basis a barrel of
flour manufactured thus assuring i'm
mediate reflection to the consumer Of
any. reduced price of wheat supplied
to the mills.
"The jobbers expressed willingness
to contract that their handling margins
should not exceed the price fixed on an
agreed basis, thus making immediately
effective lower retail price of -four
when made by the mills on read
justed wheat basis.
into a contract by which they would
reflect at once in their products the
lower price of -four made effective bv
the mills.
Some of the Western delegates ex-
pressed the view that certain sections
of the producing wheat country had
developed sentiment that wheat next
year might be worth more than the
guaranteed price in the open markets,
but the general view was that the
crops promised so we'll that any with
holding from the market under such
sentiment would be unappreciable in
the total volume.
"New wheat will be moved in Texas
in thirty days and from the present
outlook in six weeks more they will
commence very large movement of
new winter wheat. In order that sea
ports and interior markets should not
be choked by congestion and blockade
the general opinion was that the
grain corporation should continue the
cooperative control with the railroad
administration of the movement of
cereal and cereal products by the per-
NIT system of car shipment.

produce the loaves we're selling for
nine.
LET them keep it up. They'll get
tired of it before we do. 1t would be
better for us to close than to sell our
bread any cheaper"
"My husband and T will close, but
we certainly won't bring down the
price," confided a Jewish mother. "We
work night and day, and our men work
overtime and still we're not making
money. Labor is $58 week and flour
is $1,000 barrel. 1 work half the
night. My children work, too, but
what's the use 2"
The woman hugged her baby little
closer and shrugged her shoulders.
Plan Cooperative Shop
One baker on Eighth Street has been
selling bread for cents since the
Passover, but he did not profit yester-
day to the extent of one cent The
boycott of bakeshops in general in
cluded him. The other bakers regard
him as a black sheep and the public
tinctly skeptical.
Louis Sperling, manager of the Peo-
pies Cooperative Society, is laying
plans for opening a cooperative. bake
shop like the butchers shop, which he
has already instituted in the Sixth
Assembly District, and which will un-
dersell ali the stores in the neighbor-
hood.
Mass meetings were held last night
and the pickets will be out again this
morning, so that the iron ring is SOL
idly clamped around the bakeshops of
the district. The agitators expect the
strike to spread to other paras of the

for the purpose of opening trade re-
lations with Germany.
"It is merely for relief" he said,
"and nothing except foodstuffs will be
accepted for shipment. If we were
taking regular merchandise we would
heed five ships instead of one"
The War Trade Board has even
drawn the line against sending soap
to Germany, although that is badly
needed article there. The reason is
that soap contains glycerine, which can
be utilized in the manufacture of ex-
plosives.
Cotton Shipment Refused
While Tribune reporter was talk
ing to Mr.. Liebenson a New York
broker called up to find out if he might
ship 1000 bales of cotton on the
Thala. His request was refused.
Large individual shipments of food
stuffs are being discouraged in order
that as many as possible may avail
themselves of the opportunity. Ship
pers are being urged to contine their
packages to two cubic feet each. The
shipping charge is SIS cubic foot.
Some of the commonest articles ap-
pearing in the cargo list are choco-
