Criminal Prosecution Will Be
 Instituted Against Big Five
FOUR HUNDRED BRANCHES OF INDUSTRY AS CONDUCTED BY PACKERS ARE NOW
 BEING INVESTIGATED.

Washington, Aug. 7-The govern ment's case against the five big packers will be placed before the federal grand jury which meets at Chicago three weeks hence. This means that criminal persecution will be instituted.
 Charles F. Clyne. federal district attorney at Chicago. said today that besides asking indictments under the criminal sections of the Sherman antitrust law. civil suits would be brought under that statute and that in addition the packers would be prosecuted under the food control act on charges of hoarding.
 MT. CIyne has been in Washington for several days conferring with Att torney General Palmer and George R. Williams, who prosecuted the oil trust cases. The three officials have been sitting tho evidence gathered against the packers by the federal trade commission.
 Four hundred different branches of the industry as conducted by the packers, MT. Clyne said. are being dealt with by the Departznent of Jus ttce.

Stocks Of Food In Storage 20
 Percent Bigger Than Year Ago
AS PRICES ARE HIGHER FACT APPARENTLY MEANS THEY ARE WITHHELD SPECULA-
 FINELY FOR WORLD DEMAND.

Washington, Aug. 7.---A1though prices of practically all importan. foods have shown a. substantial in- crease during the last year, stocks of food held in storage on June 1 this year were approximately 20 per cent. greater than those held in June 1, 1918. according to a memorandum showing the relation between storage figures and prices issued today by the Federal Trade Commission. Govern ment stocks were excluded from the comparison.
 "The fact that stocks of many dm- portant foods were much larger on June 1 this year than on the same date last year." said the commission's 8 statement. while prices were as high or higher, apparently means that they are being withheld speculatively for a world demand which is not now here but which is expected when hun ger-impe1led strikes secure higher wages with which higher food prices can be paid"

MaItbie's Ruling VitaDy y
 Important To Union Men
NO PURPOSE TO COERCE R. 6 W. SHOP TO OR-
 GANIZE-INTENT TO GIVE FULL TIME EMPLOYMENT.

A decision of great importance to union labor is the ruling of Judge Ma1tbie of the Superior court today that it was legally justtf1a;ble for off, cia1S of the United Hatters of North America to inform George McLachlan of Danbury that he should give union shops preference over non union shops in deliveries of hat bodies.
 This ruling was made In a memo randum written by Judge Maltbie in the injun1on proceedings brought by the R. & W. Hat Shop Go. of Norwa1k against Jeremiah Scully and other union officials.
 The Norwalk company had secured a teInpuorary injunction against the interfering with George MoLachla n, who had a contract to deliver hat bodies to the Norwalk shop, which is non-union. The present memoran- dunn explains why the court dissolved the injunction upon motion of the unions counsel
 The court says that when the union officials informed McLachlan he should give preference to union shops in making deliveries their pur- pose was to obtain full time employ ment for union men who had been partly idle because of lack of raw
 material
 Their purpose" said the court
 was not to coerce the R. & W. Hat Shop into unionizing the concern l nor was their attention directed par ticularly against that company" says the court They made no definite (Continued on Page 16.)

CORONER FINDS ASHE DID NOT
 HEAR WHISTLE

That Jacob Ashe, the 15 year old East Norwalk boy. failed to hear the locomotive whistle because of the noise made by an approaching freight train. is the finding of Deputy Coro- ner H. c. Stevenson today in deciding that the boys death was accidental The finding states that the crew of the passenger train, which struck young Ashe, were not guilty of criminal liability.
 At the time of the fatality the boy was returning home from work in the Neptune Hardware Co.,, Norwalk. He and some companions were near the tracks when Ashe attempted to cross in front of the passenger train, despite the warnings of his friends, which he apparently did not hear.

Czecho-Slouakia, Poland And
Austria Must Change Their
Governments, Say Officials

tfyE-l.EtE%L F-z.L ~ sNtIt FsHnf. L-aHHEf-
5Is + Paris. Oct. 2.-(By the Associated
Press)-An intimate view Of condi-
tons in Eastern Europe is given by
an American official Just back from
q tour through Poland, Czecho-Slo-
Vakta, Austria, and later q visit to the
Hungarian capital at Budapest. He
says:
TT seems inevitable that changes
must occur in the governments of
these new states Of Europe. None OF
them is stable. Everywhere is the
intrigue and struggle for power and
place IN the part Of cliques n in
Giyiduals and beneath is the unrest
and discomfort of the masses. Nation
al independence has not brought ITO
! pia and constitutions do not furnish
bread.
In Poland, a strong opposition to
Mr.. Paderewski has developed. Be-
sides this, Poland will suffer from
acute hunger this winter. Her people
are supporting an army out of all pro-
portion to the population to guard
her frontiers and any incident may
bring a clash with the Czechs or Ger
mans. The Teschen question is acute
and both countries are aflame. L
doubt if a plebiscite will settle it sat-
Hfactorily or permanently.
In Czecho-Slovakia there is strong
OPpOSlllOi W IN pISoctlt SofCA IIIICJlS,
which lacks strength in it's personnel.
The danger there lies, however, more
in the growing jealousy of the Slavs.
They have been very thoroughly su-
bordinated and resent the arrogant at
titude of the Bohemians proper.
Again. the drastic anti-German policy
of the government is a source of dan
ger. Czecho-Slovakia. in a physical
sense, is better off than any other
country over here. She has ample
food and fuel and is thus in a COM
manding position. Her industries can
resume with little outside help. With
a strong government that country
should survive'and prosper. Her dam
e seems to lie in probable racial an
tagonisms with resulting political con-
fusion.
"As for Hungary, few people here
believe it will survive as an indepen-
dent country. Eventual union with
Rumania seems now inevitable. either
with its own king as vassal, or simply
a part of the empire.
THE Rumanians were quick to see
the powerlessness of the Allies and
simply disregarded the cqmmunica-
ter-Allied military mission. unbacked
by anything real, is a farce. The 9TH
err day a letter was sent to the Ruma-
MAN commander by this mission, writ
ten in Enelish, and he handed it back
with the remark to communicate With
him in a language understood by civil
lied people.
Another Rumanian parsonage re-
marked that the Paris conference had
sent them a very impolite note to
which they were forced to reply in
kind. These are merely illustrative
of the conditions there.
Hungary will starve this winter.
1t is beginning to starve now. The
Rumanians rave stripped it utterly,
from seed wheat to the printing press
es. They control the censor, the mails
and wires, and are in fact and deed
conquerers.
Among the men with whom I talk

ed in Budapest. there is a. conviction
that. if Hungary survives it will be
only under a monarchy. The peas
antry want a king and the old reac-
tionary crowd is powerful, acute and
busy. The great landowners are still
the great power and. with the Church,
form a powerful organization. Recent
ly one of the great dignitaries of the
church approached the 1nter-Allied
mission with a proposal to place the
Duke of $3.50 on the throne OF Hun
gary. In fact. there are any numDer
of royal candidates in the .offing
waiting to see what will happen.
"As for Austris, every province..an
every district is a separate govern
ment by itself, acting independently
and often in defiance of the Vienna
government, which is actually control
led, as far as any control goes, by
Neither the Christian Socialists nor
the Social Democrats have a majority
in the assembly, so that the All-Ger-
man, party, with it's membership of
about 80, has the balance of power
and throws it's vote to suit it's own
ends. There must be terrible suffer-
ing this winter. The country will be
practically without fuel, and it is a
rigorous winter climate. Food is al

creases in price. The hospitals are
still without supplies, the death rate
is high, and the. streets literally filled
with begging men and women and
children. Highway robbery is preva-
lent, smuggling rampant. and there
arc signs of revolution unless condi-
tons quickly mend.
There. too, the body of the people
seem to want a monarchy. They have
had enough of Republicanisn. Well
informed people say a cup d. etat is
not impossible. 1t would not take
much to place a king back if he were
a strong MAJ with quality of leader
ship. In any event, the r~eactionary
element is strong and growing strong
er in the absence of leadership, in the
present government.
THE Austrians are hopeless regard
ing their future and see only a union
with Italy or Czecho-Slovakia if they
are to survive. The country is bank
rupt, stripped Of it's by the
peace settlement. and the people are
too worn QUITO fight. In spite Of the
treaty. there is a feeling that some
way will be tried to bring about union
with Germany"

GRA1N AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Oct. 27.-Decided strength
manifested itself today in the corn
market. Tsere was active buying on
the part of the commission houses ami
shorts. We weather and higher quo
tations on hogs and stocks were bull
ish influences. In addition the rail-
road permit system and acute short
age of cars tended to curtail receipts
and to hoist prices. Opening figures,
which ranged from SIS to l 3-Sc
higher. including December at 1875 1-2
to 1.27 and May $1.23 1-2 to 1928 ga,
were followed by material further

December at II 3-S@71 1-2c, the
market continued to harden.
Provisions. like cereals and hogs,
were on the upgrade. Trade, though,
was light.

PEACE CONFERENCE
AT SHANHAI STILL
IS in DEADLOCK

Picking. Tuesday, Oct. 21.-(By the
Associated Press)-The int~er-sectional
peace conference at Shanhai continues
deadlocked owing to the refusal of
representatives of the southern gov
eminent to meet the delegates Of the
government of North China Wang-I-
Tang, who has intimated his prepar-
edness to disclose all secret treaties
and agreements which have been ar
ranged by the Picking administration.
Tang Shao vi, leader of the south
ern delegation, suspects 'duplicity'
and declares the number of such
agreements mentioned by Wang-I-
Tang to be incomplete. The president
is continuing his efforts to secure
sympathetic cooperation between the
northern and southern leaders.
