Jersey City viii Use
$780, 600 to Buy Food

The Jersey City Commissioners yes-
terday agreed to bond the city for
100000 to be used in fighting the cost
of living by buying food from the
government and selling at cut rates.
Michael McGiverin, the city purchas-
ing agent, was sent to Washington
last night by the commissioners to
find out what food the government has
to sell and to make arrangements to
get some for Jersey City, particularly
canned goods and foods which do not
require refrigeration.
Mayor Hague, Finance Commissioner
James f. Cannon and Corporation
Counsel John Milton said that recent
tax appraisals revealed that one cold
storage warehouse in Jersey City con-
tanned S5,000,000 worth of beef,
chicken, butter, cheese and other foods
which the company was holding out Of
the market for higher prices A reso-
luton to make the appropriation was
adopted on the suggestion of Mayor
Hague in communication to the COM
mission, in which he said the best
way to attack the high cost of living
would be by proceeding against pack
ers who have warehouses in Jersey
City and protiteers. He said the coun-
ty prosecutor should convene the
grand jury and investigate

Price of Cuba, Sugar
OF the I9I9-I02O CroD
Promises To Be HigIsey

HAVANA, Aug. 5.--That the price Of
Cuban sugar for the 1919-'20 crop will
be higher than the present figure es-
tablished by the United States Equali-
zation Board seems inevitable from the
present trend of events in Cuba
A resolution presented in the House
OF Representatives late to-day would
authorize the President "to intervene
in the buying and selling and exporta-
tlon of sugar and tobacco of the crop
and production which may be obtained
from the time this law becomes opera
tive, and in virtue thereof dictate such
measures az he may deem convenient
to obtain remunerative price for mill
owners and planters in the sale of said
products"
The same resolution would authorize
the President to impose duty up to
so per cent ad valorem or to Increase
the existing customs charges 100 per
cent on all raw materials or finished
articles entering Cuba, when such raw
materials are produced or the articles
manufactured in Cuba.
No action was taken on the measure
tonight, the quorum of the House be-
ing broken by the departure of several
Repre- sentatives of both parties who
desired time to study the provisions of

''Marne Division'' Now
Leaving Rhine for Brest

COBLENZ, Aug. by The Asso-
ciated Press) (Delayed). Thirty thou
sand American troops Of the Sd Divi-
sion, who defended Chateau Thierry
and adopted for their unit the name
"Marne Division" will begin bidding
farewell to the Rhine Tuesday after
eight months service in occupied Ger
many.
The first detachment of the Sd Divi-
sion will leave by train for Brest on
Tuesday morning, and the transfer of
the entire division is expected to be
completed within a week
The Sd Division claims the distinc-
tion of being the only entire American
division which actually fought on the
Marne
The 1st Division is preparing to be-
gin entrainng for tie first leg of the
homeward trip on August IS. Mean
while the French are proceeding with
their plans to occupy certain of the
districts evacuated by the Americans.
Within a few days the French will
take over Treves and the areas be-
tween the Luxembourg border and the
Rhine.
The question where the American
units which will remain in Germany
indefinitely are to have their head
quarters and garrison is now in the
hands of Marshal Foch.

Grain Market
IN Near Panic

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-Semi-panic broke
out this afternon among holders Of
grain and provisions as Il result of fear
of possible sudden sweeping action at
Washington toward putting wheat into
the hands of consumers Mt price far
below what the government has guar
anteed to pay the farmers
During the consequent selling STAN
pede corn made sheer descent of as
much as 10 cents Il bushel from the
days top, and closed excited, 4hM71a
cents net lower, with September $1.74
to $1.74 la and December $142ha to
$1.43h Oats lost l Y to pa cents. and
provisions all the way from Is cents
to $3.50.
Near the end of business hours the
attention Of traders centred on the
chance that the conference announced
to take place this evening between
President Wilson and julius Barnes
Federal Wheat Director might result
In radical change of policy. Until
after midday dealers had believed that
recent setbacks in the price of corn
had discounted for the present the in
fluence of agitation against high cost
OF living. However, the contingency in
regard to wheat had been looked on
as remote. Then came signs that this
view was perhaps a mistake, and simul-
taneously the fact was disclosed that
the market was almost bare of orders

Motormen, conductors and trackmen

trolley on the island at 4 a. m. Thurs

Of the motormen one days pay which
they were dockcd last week.
Two meetings of the workmen were
held in Mechanics Hall, New Brighton,
and both the day and night employees
favored the ultmatum to the company
The employees number about 800 and
nearly all are members of the Amalga-
mated Electrical Railroad Employees of
America, which is affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor.
A committee of three will present
the issue to f. l.. Rand, vice president
and general manager Of the company,
this morning at II o'clock. If he re-
fuses the demand the men will quit to-
morrow, as they consider that the vote
has been taken already.
The trouble began week ago last
Sunday. Five of the motormen, after
working fourteen consecutive hours, re-
fused to make another trip on the
ground that they had to return to
work early Monday and would be in no
condition to handle cars. When they
returned to work the next day they
were not permitted to take their cars
out, and at the end of the week they

armour e Co. Blame
Retailer for Present
High Cost OF Meats
New York Tribune
~


WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.-Responsi-
biiity for the high cost of meat was
laid at the door of the retailer to-day
by +. +. White, vice-president of Ar
mour &C.. at a hearing on the high
cost of living held before the Senate
Committee on the District of Colum-
bia.
Mr. White said the price of meat
sold by the packers to distributors has
recently declined more than the price
of cattle on the hoof; that only a
great overseas market for meat since
May has preventede panic among live
stock producers; that Armour & Co,
made only per cent last year on q
capital of $100,000,OO0; that eggs
stored in April brought only 3 cents
more per dozen in midwinter than was
paid for them.
Retailers are keeping the prices up
because they will hold on TO high
prices Just as long as they can" he
continued II think the first step to-
ward lowering the cost Of living would
be to lower the cost of bread"
Mr.. White said there is plenty of
meat in the country. but that there
will be &wool shortage this winter.
England, he said, bought up three sea-
sons supply of wool in Australia, and
before the year is over the United
States probably will have to buy wool

French Blacklist Plan
LoiUering Food Prices
Local Committees Are Formed
Representing Dealers and
Consumers to Fir CHARGES

PARIS. Aug. 5 (By The Associated
Press) ).-~The plan recently adopted by
the French Food Ministry to reduce
food prices is working successfully in
some of the French cities. At Havre
eggs have been reduced from $12(
a dozen to 60 cents, onions from ten
to five cents a pound and potatoes from
four to two cents a pound The re-
ductions in some foodstuffs vary from
90 to so per cent.
A local committee has been created
representing both the dealers and con-
sumers. which determines fair prices
and accredits dealers who accept the
prices specified. This results in prac-
teal blacklisting of unfair dealers by
public opinion, without any formal
legislation.
The lowering of prices obtained by
the Montmartre Consumers League,
Sunday, when members Of the league
paraded through the district and deal
ers voluntarily cut their prices, has
been maintained and generalzed, al
though the league has not met since the
Sunday demonstration.
Little groups of the league have con-
tinued circulating through the district,
and daily have secured lessening in
the quotations of dealers without be-
ing obliged to call on the police.

FdSH1nQtCn 6nre0N
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Little hope
of an immediate reduction in the cost Of
living through Congressional action
was held out at to-day's emergency
meeting of the Senate Agricultural
Committee. The committee decided that
the enactment of legislation for the
regulation Of the packers must be the
first step in the campaign to bring food
prices down.
Two bills to put the packers under
Incense, to terminate their control Of
refrigerator cars and stockyards. and
to limit their control of unrelated food
products are before the committed.
They are the Kenyon and Kendrick
bills, upon which hearings are sched-
uled to begin August 18.
senator Gronna, chairman of the
committee, said he thought it would
take from sixty to ninety days to dis
pose OF the packer legislation alone.
Inc high cost of living was primarily
ana q decreased production, condition
Congress was powerless to remedy.
Senator johnson, of South Dakota.
said the situation could be met by lin
ltlng the percentage of profit of pro
ducers and distributors of the necessi-
ties of life during the next twelve
months
1--WE m.st have drastic action" he
SAID, "or We face revoluton."
Senator France, of Maryland. took a
different view.
We don't want drastic action but
remedial action he said 81 believe
this situation has been caused by un-
considered, drastic action by the gov
eminent. The three causes of present
high prices are underproduction of
TODD, overproduction of money and
faulty distribution"
Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia.
criticised the railway workers for de-
manding increased wages at this time.
RAILROAD labor and workers about the
cities" he said, "are doing half DAYS
work and getting double pay"
we face serious situation," Chair
man Gronna said. eve have got to
handle it with hard, not soft gloves.
While we are dealing with this matter

Senate committee ought to be here.
also want the farmers-the bona fide
iarmers-to come and give their side.
10 catch up with the consumption we
have got to have a working dav of
fourteen hours instead of eight"
The feature of the Kenyon bill which
distinguishes it from the Kendrick bill
is Its provision for the operation of
the BUSINESS of the packers under Fed
eral receivership if "moral bank
ruptcy" is proved.
Senator Poindexter asserted on the
floor that the Administration has am
pie power to deal with the high cost
of living situation if it will exercise
the authority conferred in the Lever
act to prevent the boarding of food
products.

House again Refuses
To Consider Shoe Cost
Resolution by Igoe
Ne1o YORK Tribune


WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.1Again re-
fusing to consider a resolution inuuir-
ing into the price of shoes, the House
to-day spent half an hour reviewing the
difficulty of last Saturday involving
representatives Igoe and Clark, of Mis-,

Representative Igoe, who last week
prevented the House from taking more
than denatured recess of three DAYS
repeated his performance at the close
OF to-day's session by obieyting to q
request by Republican Leader Mondell
that the House be guaranteed two
weeks recess, with only formal meet. e =

to get recognition to have a resolution
regarding the price of shoes considered
newspapers had printed the report thai
Speaker Gillett had overruled Mr.. Ieoe

New Jersey Telephone
Calls ''Subject toDelay''
Not Enough Trunk Lines TO
Handle Extra Rush, Company
Officers Say

Telephone calls to points in New
Jersey were accepted by the New York
Telephone Company yesterday "subject
to delay" The company declared this
was due to a congestion of traffic.
w. l.. Cook, manager, said the num-
Der of trunk lines between New York
and New Jersey is less than the num-
Der normally needed to handle the
traffic. Congestion, which has existed
for some weeks, he said, became
enormous yesterday because of IA
sudden rise in the number Of calls.
At the offices OF the company it was
explained that every room in every
hotel at the New Jersey resorts is filled
this year, and that hundreds of New
York business men go to these resorts
for days at a time, keeping in touch
with their business by telephone.
Late last night the telephone COM
pany placed New York in the restricted
district and urged subscribers to use
the telephone only when absolutely
necessary. This was due to the strike
