Food Prices in City
ShOW Great Variation

WHATEVER else the food prices
" in various parts of New York
may be, there is an utter lack of
uniformity about them. Prices on
the lower East Side run, on an av-
erage, lower than the prices reached
by adding the Food Administrations
margins to the wholesale quotations.
The Federal committee for the New
York district has not yet issued an
official "fair" price list.
There w-uld appear to be more
prohteering in groceries than meat.
Eggs, for instance, are selling on
University Heights at IS cents a
dozen more than the fair price list.
Cheese ranges from rs to SO cents
pound, according to the locality
where sold. Butter runs from 5S to
68 cents.

The return of the nation to neace

calls the war mind is now giving wav

longer have the power to thrill or con-

war standard simply serve to arouse

George Nicoll Barnes, labor member

OF the Triple Alliance marks a new

governments scheme for punishing
protiteers already has had good effect
because it has convinced the masses
that oflicialdom really wants to protect
them. incidentally, it has had a sober

In brief period the country has
undergone marked change. A short

declining, and hundreds of factories

feared that the Americans would run

Accuses Coal Men
Of ':Fan,ine plot
Huddleston Tells House
Operators PIar, "Sky
High' Prices in Winter

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Represen-
tative Huddleston, himself large
owner of coal lands. told the House
to-day that "sky high" prices for coal
next winter and intense suffering are
bound to result from "the refusal of
the. National Coal Association to sell
coal now at a reasonable price" He
demanded that Congress pass legisa-
ton to force coal on the market now
and that laws be passed to fix prices
so that exorbitant profits may be
prohibited next winter.
The members of the association hay-
ing. failed in their campaign to sell
their coal at the present exorbitant
prices" said Mr.. Huddleston, "havc
now decided to withhold fuel from the
market until the snow flies. The asso-
citation claims there is shortage of
coal now, because of shortage of
labor and coal cars.
"The whole trouble is that there is
no market because the operators are
demanding exorbitant prices. There
is no shortage of labor or coal cars.
The only shortage is found in the coal
association itself-it is wofully lack
ing IN the principles of common hon
esty and humanity"
Mr.. Huddleston read to the House
letter from the railroad administra-
tion stating the supply of coal cars is
adequate, but there is no demand for
men because of the weak market.
The National Coal Association, Mr..
Huddleston claimed, recently appro-
priated $4,000 to carry on "buy coal
now campaign"
This was divided up. among 400
newspapers" he said "and there was
hardly a single statement of fact in
the advertisements. This campaign has
failed, and the association at a recent
meeting at Kansas City decided to keep
as much coal as possible off the market
until winter comes. Nothing is going
to stay this infamous plot except the
action of Congress-"
