MOVING DAY

Ensley avenue presented the appea,- ance of a moving picture screen as van after van as well as any vehicle that would carry a load passed to and fro with household furnishings yesterday Many people who have been renting houses were forced to move into rooms or small apartments as most houses are now sold to individuals.
 Real estate men say that business would increase ten-fold were there houses .o be sold, but until more are built the market is at standstill. People having homes are refusing extraordinary offers as they have no place to go should they sell.
 Many new homes are being built, espe- cially on Ensley Highlands, but the con- gestion is relieved very little.

FOREIGN BORN PREDOMINATE

George Rothwell Brown, staff cor respondent of the Washington Post writing from Pittsburg. adds most in teresting sideight to the strike situa- ton today. He declares that an as- founding percentage of the strikers in the Pittsburg district are of foreign birth, many still unnaturalized, and a considerable number from the ranks of former alien enemies" He makes the point that wretched living condi- tions endured by these foreigners IS f-inflicted by the desires of the men to make money by saving money 10 the end that soon they might be In po- sition to return home.
 MT. Brown declares that while the labor leaders profess to be waglng warfare for the recognition of unions and the right of collective bargaining they are. as a matter of fact, striking while the iron is hot" They are aware that war wages cannot be paid for ever during days of peace, he continues and are taking position against the reduction which is eventually newt able. He makes the additional point that on account of the unrest which ai- fleets the entire world the leaders re- garded this as psychological moment for the deliverance of their blow.

 At the same time, Judge E. H. Gary. chairman of the board of directors of the United States Steel corporation, has not been immune from criticism by in- dividual members of Congress. It is contended that had he acted on the re- quest of President Wilson that he per init the labor leaders to talk with him. there would have been no strike. His arbitrary position of refusing to listen or speak to labor leaders Is criticised It is yet too early to judge whether or not his interrogation by the Senate committee today put new light on the situation, but prior to his appearance the partisan opinion seemed to De that in an industrial struggle admitting of no compromise or arbitration, 2 struggle to the death irrespective of the effect on the public generally, both sides had selected proper leaders.

COST OF THE WAR
Lloyd George in Parliament Said It
Was 5000, ,OOO, ,OOO, 900

London Aug. 10-The war cost forty
billion pounds, Premier Lloyd George
declared in his speech in the House CT
Commons today on the financial and
industrial situation. Most of the sum
was spent for purposes of destruction.
The premier asserted that the chang
ing from war to peace conditions
would take, just as long as the change
from peace to war. The first outstand
ing fact of the present situation was
the alarming adverse trade balance.
The import restrictions which will
terminate Sept /, the premier contin-
ued, had given British manufacturers
an opportunity of making and dealing
in goods which otherwise would have
been hurried here from foreign coun
tries.
The premier said that before the
war imports had exceeded exports
from the United Kingdom by 100000
900 pounds, while Great Britain has to
pay back an adverse trade balance of
500, 100000 pounds.
The national debt the premier de-
clared, has grown from 641,OO0,000
pounds to 1900, 100000 pounds.
Labor conditions in the United
Kingdom, Mr.. Lloyd George added, had
improved. OF the 100000 men de-
mobilized, only 100000 have not been
absorbed in industries.

Standard

Fair Haven, Aug. 1S.--Augustus
Duri, a merchant, was arraigned Sat
urday before H. N. Locke in NUM-
.cipal court, on charge preferred by
States Attorney p. NJ NJ Phelps for
selling ice cream containing less than
the required amount of milk fat.
The sample of this ice cream was
obtained by DR.. Rushmore Lape, local
health officer. on July 81 and was
submitted to the state board of health
for analysis. 1t proved to contain but
eight per cent of milk fat, whereas the
state law requires that all such ice
cream shall contain no less than IA
per cent
Mr.. Duri contended that he was in
nocent in the matter as he purchased
this cream from the Albany Ice
Cream Co, Of Albany. and they had
warranted to him that their ice cream
came up TO the state standard
States Attorney Phelps stated to
the court that he did not blame Mr..
Duri, but that the only way he could
reach the ice cream company was by
prosecuting Duri. He recommended
to the court that a fine of $50 and
costs be impc sed. The amount was
ordered by Judge Locke.

NO ADJUSTMENT OF STRIKE
Finishers Alone Working at Black
Cat Underwear Mill.

Apparently the Black Cat Textiles
company officials and the striking
employees at the underwear mill on
Scott street are no nearer a settle
ment than was the case on Monday.
The strike originated with 'he knit
ters who were followed by the cut
ters and the washers and according
to the company's statement that fact
that the employees left the mill by de-
partments some difficulty Is being eX'
perienced in making an adjustment.
X. II. Kimball, general superintei L
dent, who came on here from Keno.
sha, Wis, the company's headquart-
ers following the strike, stated this
morning that he had been attempting
TO reach an agreement with the oper-
atfves and believed that he had ad-
justed things with the knitters and
the cutters. With other employees,
he said terms had not been made.
The superintendent said that he
recognized the fact that this thing
is in the air. and that more of 1t is
bound to occur. In his conversation
he admitted that wages in the knit
ting industry had always been low
but at the same time il was impos-
sible for one concern to make In
creases unless similar advances were
made by competing manufacturers.
He did not appear particularly hope
full of reaching a settlement at the
mill here and stated that he should
leave for New York this afternoon.
The finishing department is still at
work but must soon shut down un-
less the knitting machines are soon
in operation.

The Hague, Aug. 15.-In spite of

been learned that Minister of FL

are not so pessimistic as writer's in

from America on which they would
base economic reconstruction.
They are also counting on severe
labor troubles in America and Eng
land which they believe are now only
beginning, whereas Germany having
started under labor troubles earlier,
now considers herself at least year
ahead of the Entente countries in
this respect.
Labor unrest in Germany is be-

WILSON TO FIX
FAIR PRICES ON
ALL NECESSITIES
Bill Would Give Him More
Power Than Asked
HAS HEAVY PENALTIES
All Necessaries. Of Life Are Brought
Under Provisions of This
Act

Washington, Aug. 1S.-President
Wilson is authorized to fix a fair price
en- all necessaries and is given power
to impose a heavy fine or imprison-
ment upon any dealer or producer, ex-
cept retailers doing a business OF less
than 100000 annually, who sells his
wares above the fair price" determin-
ed upon by the governmental agencies
in the draft ct The amended Food Con
jtrol bill aubmitted to the House Agri
culture Committee today by Chairman
Haugen.
The proposed amendments, drafted
by Representative Haugen, after a con
ference with Assistant United States
Attorney General Ames go farther
than was proposed by the Prosident in
his message to Congress. All neccs-
saries of life are brought under the
provision OF the Food Control act,
whereas the President merely sugges-
ted wearing apparel and food commod-
tiles. BY the terms Iof the tentative
amendments the President would have
price fixing authority, in lieu of the
licensing system in the food act. Be.
cause 1t would be difficult to re-estab-
lish the licesing system and because
the price fixing scheme is more direct.
Chairman Haugen thinks the House
will accept the latter plan in place CT
the cumbersome licensing system used
during the war,
The amendments prepared by Chair
man Haugen, while giving the Govern
ment power to punish proiiteers by a
fine of 5000 and imprisonment, speci-
fically exempts farmers. planters,
ranchmen and dairymen from the oper
ations of the section dea ing with
profiteering.
