Despite the confident assertions Of
Fitzpatrick, Foster and other union
leaders, the developments of the week
in the steel strike went TO strengthen
the belief that the battle win be won
by the employers. The mills at Gary
kept increasing their production until
IL was said TO have reached 80 per cent
Of the normal. and many other plants
in that district. including South Chi
caeo. reported that their workers were
returning. The Indiana Steel COM
lany ar Gary. for instance. was oper-
aiing on Thursday with about 5000
men, or half the usual force. and the
Mark Manufacturing company. employ
ing between 5000 and 5000 men. was
preparing I reopen its plant with a
large force. The strikers still out in
that area were growing restless as they
saw their fellow workers returning by
the thousands, and feared they would
lose their places permanently.
In the Pittsburgh region there was
rot much change in the situation. At

departments in IT'S various plants were
closed. but most of them were oper-

reduced forces. The Pennsylvania

General Won der Goltz still refuses
to withdraw the German army from

at Berlin, persisting in its contention
that those troops are not under its con-
troll, has shut of their supplies-eo It
says. The supreme councils patience
was exhausted and 1t authorized Mar
shall Foch to send an ultimatum to
Berlin with the threat of a renewal Of
the blockade. Near the close OF the
week 1t was reported in Paris that the
blockade had been put int effect. Won

allies in Riga, and has Announced be

in the Baltic territory occupied by Ger

A Riga correspondent cables that
the Letvian government has called to
the colors all men between the ages
of nineteen and twenty-seven. The in
tention presumably is to move against
the Germans, and possibly an advance
against Petrograd is contemplated, in
conjunction with the ESthonian army.

EXPECTS PRICES
OF FOODS TO RULE
HIGH FOR MONTHS

High food prices for many months
to come. This is the unm istakable
indication at the present time, &C
cording to G. Howard Dawson
speaking for the National AgricuI-
tural society.
Some lines OF food may show
decline" Mr.. Dawson said, but as
to staples, Americans can make up
their mind that the world demand
is strictly in control of prices and
that this condition will endure for
a long time to come.
The end of the war has brought
little or no relief. Food prices are
just as largely under the control
of the European situation as they
were a year ago. It is true there
are enough hogs coming into the
markets just now to bring about
decline in the prices Of meats and
fats if conditions were usual, and
it is likewise true that the present
outlook is for a surplus Of wheat
in the spring. But the government
says the minimum price for wheat
and hogs must not be lowered.
The government, fully conscious
that the appalling scarcity Of food
stuffs abroad will exist for many
months, clearly is continuing its
policy of maintaining high price
levels in order to stimulate prOduc-
ton to the utmost. Few will dis
pute the far-sighted wisdom OF this
policy"

LOSSES FROM HOG
CHOLERA DECLINE
IN LAST 4 YEARS

Losses from hog cholera declined
greatly in the four years 1914 to
1917 and a further reduction is ex-
pected for 1918, says a letter from
Secretary of agriculture to Addison
T. Smith, a member of the house OF
representatives.
The secretary calls attention to
the necessity for state cooperation
in the federal governments cam
paign against this destructive ami
mai disease.
The losses for 1914 totaled g.
304 800 animals, which, valued at
$10.40 a head, made a monetary loss
of $67,597,461; for 1917, 1881
animals, valued at $11.73 a head, a
monetary loss of $32.475,19O. Dur
ing the four years the number of
animals taken by the disease was
1885. sol, representing a value of
$1SS,44S,643.
Estimates obtained from state
authorities during November. and
reports from our inspectors in
charge of hog cholera control
work." says the secretary, indicate
that there will be further reduction
Of losses from the disease during
the present year q91S) except in
New York, Pennsylvania and Wash
ington, where no cooperative work
is being conducted by the depart
ment The monetary loss, however,
will still be great owing to the in
creased value of this class of farm
animals over that of previous years.
"a recent article, in which con-
ditions in Iowa are discussed, indi-
Gates that the number of hogs lost
in that state from cholera in 191 4
was approximately 100000, while
the losses for 1917 amounted to less
than 100000 Conditions in Iowa,
however, have been more favorable
to the efforts of the cooperative
forces engaged in hog cholera con-
troll work in that state during the
last two years than previously.
1.-THE reduction of losses has
been less in certain other states
due largely to circumstances which
have handicapped our efforts in
controlling the disease. We can
