The settlement OF the strike, it was

strikebreakers to work, nor Will they
grant wage increases in excess OF

This decision was reached at a con-

The Adjustment Commission TO-
dny reconsidered the demands OF the
coastwise longshoremen, whose re-
quests for increased compensation
had been denied, and decided TO
grant them double pay for work dur
ing meal hours and double pay for
handling salvaged cargoes. This, 1t
was explained, put them on more OF
an equality with the deep sea long
shoremen.
The Commission declined to re-
open the case of the checkers on the
ground that the unauthorized strike

forfeiture of'their rights to be heard
by the Commission. The checkers

Hungry for Horse Meat.

Eight hundred condemned army
horses and mules were sold at auc-
tion to a German butcher near Cob
lenz last week, writes a correspon-
dent, with the understanding that all
the animals must be killed to help
relieve the meat shortage within the
occupied area. All the animals sold
had been inspected and found unfit
for military use, owing age or be-
cause they had been infected by gas
during the war. Captain Joseph Kit
tell, Of Pikeville, Tenn, remount Of
ficer of the quartermaster corps, act
ed auctioneer, and butchers from all
parts of the occupied zone attended
the sale. One horse brought s1,175.
Before the war, frst-class Belgian
horses in this district were worth
about $500 each. The sale was ad-
vertised in German newspapers, and
as a result many inquiries are pour
ing into Coblenz from other cities
asking when the next sale takes
place. A great many letters inquire
especially regarding mules, as the
mule is said to find a better market
than the horse.
