New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1919-05-03

Some weeks ago The Enter
prise and other business men In
New Iberia interested themselves
in inducing the owners Of the In
land Barge Line operating from
New Orleans to make weekly
schedule trips to New Iberia. Il
was assured the steamboat man.
ayers that the merchants Of New
Iberia would give them assurance
of sufficient freight to make the
trip .remunerative if the itinerary
was New Iberia instead of at jean
erette as was first proposed. We
are sorry to state that but few OF
Our merchants appreciate the need
Of this waterway route if we are
to Judge Of the amount Of freight
given, to them to haul the addi-
tional distance. We have been
requested by the owners OF the
boat line to call the attention OF
the merchants to the prompt
service they are giving our mer-
chants at q rate ten per cent be-
low that Of the railroads. The
steamboat Pharr and barge Glen
wild leaves New Orleans every
Wednesday en- route to New lbe-
ria and the goods are well pro-
tected in q large sealed barge. In
q few weeks connections will pc
made with q line Of boats direct
from Minnesota and then the boat
service to New iberia will be the
equal Of that Of the railroads run
ming into our City. 1t therefore
behooves the merchants and ship
pers Of freight to at least give .
portion Of their freight to the
Inland Barge Line operating from
New Orleans.

of course, bread. For supper they

TYPICAL MENU.
This is one days typical menu for
men and officers alike. The menus
vary among the kitchens and from
day to day. The result Is there Is keen
competition for the prize given the
kitchen judged to be serving the men
best--a weeks leave every month.
Some times, as a consequence the men
get hotcakes and doughnuts for break
fast, pie for dinner etc.
The amount OF food allowed to each
man Is unlimited. He can repeat the
whole dinner II he desires. Feeding
is done on an exact schedule, by which
it is impossible for a man to spend
more than 80 minutes going and COM
ing between the barracks and kitchen,
usually about 20 minutes. This would
seem to dispose of the idea that the
men stand for hours in the rain,
waiting to eat.
While 1t Is never necessary to en-
courage the men to move rapidly to
get their food one negro, serving a
negroes mess" seems to think 1t is.
The correspondent watched him lad
ling out rice pudding, shaking his
ladle from side to side and crying the
longer 1 shakes the less you get"
The first time he did this the diners
eyes popped out as they watched the
last grains pour off the ladle, where
upon the ladder would grin and dip
up great ladlefuls in the waiting
plates.
Meantime, another server would be
crying this way to the hash bar
rage" Altogether the kitchens are a
merry place. 1t has been seriously
charged that the men are compelled
to wash their own mess kits. This
is true. They have to do it in the
field often with cold water and no
soap But in Brest the washing con-
sists of dumping the refuse in garb-
age cans then dipping the aluminium
plates, cups and spoons in big tanks
of constantly boiling water, from
which they emerge not only clean but
sterilized and dry almost as soon as
they strike the air.

EMBARGO HURTS
|. Y. LOCAL STOCK men

Madison county stock shippers are
still "up in the air" over the live
stock embargo on the L. & N. to Gin
cinnati. Unless there is some relief
very soon, local stock buyers are go
ing to lose lot Of money. Those
who have hogs bought for Immediate
delivery are being forced to take them
up, and turn them in stock pens to
feed until they can ship them. A
number Of cattle buyers are weighing
up the beeves they have purchased
and turning them back into pastures,
paying the farmers for grazing privi-
leges. s
Developments in the embargo since
yesterday were, notification by the
Senate Interstate Commerce Com
mittee to President Wilson that he
has ample authority to handle the
strike Of the railroad shopmen.
President Wilson notified Director
General Walker D. Hines that he was
authorized to take up the demands Of
railroad shop employees for higher
wages and decide them on their mer.
its. '' 49, '''"''- '''--''' .'-t-'.
The Presidents decision was an
nounced from the White House in the
form of letter sent by him to Mr.
Hines. The President said until the
employees return to work and agar
recognize the authority of their or.
ganization the whole matter must be
at standstill." &t G
The effect of the Presidents decis,
ion, it was believed, would be to put
a sudden end to sporadic strikes
throughout the country, denounced to
be illegal by union officials, but invol-
wing perhaps $4,000 men and to some
extent normal traffic. 1t was taken
for granted also that the meance of a
general strike to compel higher
wages to meet increased living costs
likewise was removed by the Presi-
dents action. ~ '".-
