Sixty per cent of the city's tota
daily perishable food supply comes
in by railway express. This has
been entirely cut off by embargo fol

city is facing grave danger Of
limited supply for several weeks or
longer because Of the strike. Boats
carrying cargoes of food consigned TO
this port have been diverted to Boston
and other ports not tied UP by the
strike, he said. This means, he ex-
planned, that when the situation il
finally cleared there will be little pro-
duce to offer the public.
A big French Line steamer was di-
verted to another port yesterday, Mr.
Goodsell said, while White Star Line
boats probably will be pointed toward
Boston if the tie-up here continues.
DR.. Royal S. Copeland, Health Com
missioner, reported yesterday that the
city's milk supply is in no danger of
curtaiment Most of the milk, he
said, coming normally from New Jer-
sey terminals is being ferried over
which are not affected by the strike,
and through the Pennsylvania tubes.
According to the Urnur Barry COM
pany, food market reporters, the city's
supply Of nearby fresh eggs has been
cut off completely. Western butter
and eggs are coming in by freight and
parcel post, they said. Prices have
not yet been affected.

can be used at any time. In addition
to this, Colonel Carson announced yes
! terday that the army has 100000 tons
Of frozen beef in warehouses in and
about the city which could be used.
The sales in the public schools, which
have totalled more than $2,3O0.0OO to
date, are in danger Of being discon-
tinued because Of the strike, Dr.. JON
athan G. Day, Commissioner Of Public
Markets, said last night. He said one
lighter was standing loaded at Port
Newark, while thousands Of house
wives visited the schools in vain

Arthur Williams, Federal Food Ad-

General A. Mitchell Palmer last night
and said he would make known his new
plan of action tonight.
"Tke Federal government has enough
resources" he said, "to enable it to
carry out anything it undertakes.

Yipsels' Detection
Ignored by Leaders
OF Socialist ai'ty
Hillquit and Gerber Say
League Has Only About
1000 Members, Break
Having Little Meaning

Local Socialist leaders were inclined
yesterday to attach littlo significance
to the decision of the delegates to the
seventh annual convention of the
Young Peoples Socialist League to sep
Rrate from the regular Socialist party.
The "Yipsels," as they are called, be-
sides boiling from the Socialist party,
lepudiated the Berne convention and
Endorsed the Third Internationale," the
congress summoned by Nikolai Lenine
to Moscow, and declared themselves to
Re an integral part Of the international
communist movement.
Morris Hillquit, the recognized lead
er of the Right" section of the Social
ist movement in the United States. said
the separation "meant very little"
This was also the opinion Of julius
Gerber, secretary Of the local Socialist
iarty, who said "the 'Yipsels had been
advised by us to separate themselves
from the party officially" He said there
were only about 1000 "Yipsels" all
told.
The resolution declaring the "Yip-
sells" independent from the party
"The Socialist movement in America
today is being torn BY factions. Anil
iation with any one of them at the pres
ent time will both hinder and interfere
With the Y PS. l.. in its work. Only
as an independent body can we organ
ile and work effectively. Therefore, be
il resolved, that we, the members OF
the"Y. z. S. L. OF New York, sever our
connection with the Socialist party
and declare ourselves not bound by any
organization whatever"
The preamble to the constitution in
dorscd By 9 majority of the conven-
ton contained the following clause:
THE aims and purposes Of the or
eanizaticn shah be the organization
and education CT the proletar}an youth
lased Oh the lines OF the class struggle
I ,r the abolition OF the CAPITALIST state
tyld the establishment Of the industrial
/ commonwealth through The Dictator
soip Of the proletariat."
The manifesto repudiated the Berne
International and called upon the
/ :. P. s. L. members Of the United
States to affiliate with the international
j Communist movement.
II reads: "We, the members of the
I. ?. S. l.. OF the State Of New York
lapudiate the Berno conference and al
the Socialist groups that participated
ii or adhered to it. We declare our.
selves an integral part Of the lnterna
.,onal Communist movement. We arf
