SOCIALISTS LOSE HOLD
ON THE LABOR UNIONS

Paris, Aug. 29.-The recent
collapse Of the movement for a
general strike is explained in
some quarters by the saying that,
while the extremists were get
ting control Of the ocialist party,
,,2e.,- were losing their hold on
he labor unions, which, 100000
strong before the war, now have
a membership Of more than l.
100000. The 100000 were well
in hand, it is said, but the 1,2OO,-
900 have brought with them a
certain independence Of thought
and action. The consequence lis
that the vast majority Of union
men are not ready to accept such
radical measures as general
political strike.

ers and the government Of
Czecho-Slovakia, together with
plans for the economical devel-
opment Of Jugo-Slavia, influence
President Wilson more than did
his fourteen points in the SETTLE
ment Of the Adriatic question:"
This question is now being
asked today in Italy, as a result
Of facts just revealed at Paris.
It was revealed, among other
things, that the Czecho-Slovak
government has granted rail
road concession of great impor-
tance to the Commercial Corpo-
ration Of America, now being
formed at Prague with a capital
or 100000 crowns, divided
into 5OO-crown shares which four
Prague banks have fully sub
scribed at $50 crowns each. This
Prague company is to be a
branch of the Commercial Cor
poration Of America, with head
quarters at New York and a cap
ital of $5, 100000.
American railroad engineers
appointed by the Serbia ngov-
ernment already are on the
ground tracing the new road. A
group Of American bankers is
financing the enterprise, while
-another group has obtained con-
troll Of the shipping interests on
the Danube formerly belonging G
to Serbia and Croatia. This lat
ter transaction is taken in Italy
to foreshadow the economic de
velopment Of Jugo-Slavia by
American capitalists, while the
contracts with Czecho-SIovakis
are cited as showing America ,:

FEEDING OF THE EYES
ADDS To LIVING COST

Chicago, Aug. 29-To d con-
siderable extent, feeding the
eyes instead Of the stomach is
responsible for the high cost Of
living, according to authori-
ties here in the milling and grail
trade. They cite the fact that rye
flour is $2.55 a barrel cheaper
than white -four although, ex-
cept for looks, the rye -four is
equally good or better as food.
Unusual cheapness Of rye -four
at this time is ascribed to two
cause.-the stoppage Of whlskey
distilling and the substitution OF
white bread for rye bread by
thousands Of workingmen, who
until the era of high wages, useC
rye bread as a rule.
It is said also by the milling
experts that 50 far as known
here the United States govern
ment is purchasing only white
four for shipment to Europ
Notwithstanding that the bulk o
the population across the Allan
jtic is far more accustomed to ry
bread than white.

Storekeeper Who Banned Ger.
man Language Says Irishman
Ordered Emblem Out

Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore P Mayer are
about the most patriotic folks along
upper Third Avenue, as the window
display in their little confectionery
store at No. 1927 indicates. When the
war started Mr.. Mayer painted neat
little sign to the effect that no German
would be spoken in his place of bust
ness and his wife busted herself pre-
pairing elaborately trimmed windows,
with the flags Of the Allies much in
evidence.
There chances to be German colony
o. considerable size near the place
where the Mayors earn their living,
and all through the war there were
strong objections to his ban on the
German language. But he continued
his sign and his window display right
up to the present.
Yesterday Mr. Mayer was disturbed.
A man who said he was Irish entered
his store and demanded that the Brit
sh flag be lowered. The proprietor
told him he could see no reason for do
ing so, and refused. Later in the day
he received an anonymous letter re-
pcating the demand. Mr.. Mayer didn't
notify the police, but he expressed his
opinion in no uncertain terms:
mo one is going to tell me to take
down the British flag or any other AL
lied flag. I'm half Irish myself-my
mother was born in Tipperary. No, sir.
