WOMEN CALL FOR
MORE ARMY FOOD
Demand Day Extend System
of School Stores.

DR.. Day, Commissioner OF Markets
was beeieged yesterday in the City
Hall by a Iadge number of women,
members of Community Councils, who
insisted more surplus army foodstuffs
should be placed on sale in the public
schools.
Some found fault because not eonugh
supplies were sent to certain schools
Others had grievances because new
school stores were not opened. House
wives will buy the food IL they get
chance, many insisted. and it was plainly
up to the Market Commissioner to see
that they get II.
One woman said there are a number
of groups of Community Council men,
bers who are willing to get up at
o'clock In the morning, II need he, to &c
to the schools and help sell things, but
the food isn't forthcoming and all their
energies are going to waste.

Day said he is doing the very best he
can, but is laboring under great difficult
ties in building up his distributing and
selling organizations.
Every department In the city which
let us have city employees TO act as
cashiers in the schools he said, lis de-
handing their return. Under the cir
cumstances, I think that we have done
pretty well. We have tried to build W

impossible"
The city already has sold &75O,o0C

DR.. Day has not caught any more
wholesalers with army foodstuffs which
we're purchased on the instalment plar

loaehe to prosecute those whom he
caught Tuesday with stocks OF city

These men purchased other foods direct

BILL AIMS TO CHECK
AUTOMOBILE THEFTS
House Gets Measure ProUid-
ing Federal Prosecution.

WASHINGTON, Sept. l1.-Federal
prosecution OF automobile thieves, with
fines of $1,000 and Imprisonment for
1--WE years, is provided in a bill agreed
upon to-day by the House Juriciary
Committee.
The measure Is framed to remove the
difficulties OF prosecution when stolen
motor cars are taken from one State
10 another. and Representative Dyer,
tMo), It's author, predicts it will be eff
fective in reducing automobile thefts.
"The bill is framed TO protect the
G,50O,0O0 automobiles In the United
states, now valued at $500. 600, OOO,"
Mr.. Dyer said.
according 10 the American Auto
mobile Association 22,273 cars were
stolen In eighteen Western cities alone.
Detroit led with 2,639 thefts, followed
by Chicago with 2.6l1, 81. Louis. 2,241 /;
Cleveland, 2.O76, Cincinnati 34S.
Kansas city led in the percentage Of
- per cent stolen cars regained.
another fact revealed by the sta
tistics was that Ohio leads all States in
the Union with 464,S26 cars. New
York Is second with 436,932, Pennsyl-
yania third with 407,923, and Illinois
fourth with 4O1,37l. Nevada has the
fewest with S,l53.
"rhe National Automobile Dealers
Association is asking manufacturers
for better Identification OF motor cars
by more complete numbering OF the
component parts. Usually the engine
alone is numbered but the thief
promptly chisels the number Off"

Provision for enforcing the prohibition
law until constitutional prohibition goes
into effect next January IS carried in
the bill. Attorney General Palmer liz APP
pearing before the committee estimated
enforcement of wartime prohibition
would require 100000 a month. The
prohibition enforcement bill carries an
appropriation of $500, 900 for the work
during the first year.
Mr. Palmer warned that large eXpend-
lures are necessary. or the law VIII
become a farce, and mentioned particu-
larly the New York situation.
ar you are going TO make farce OF
this wartime prohibition law. let 1t go
and let people do what they please ;
that is one thing, but If you want me to
enforce Il I have TO have the ammuni-
ton" Mr.. Palmer told the committee.
For instance, take this New York
situation. I sometimes think that New
York not only does not believe the
country is dry now, but does not believe
4 ever will be dry. j base this on the
violations over there. II Is an extremely
difficult act TO enforce in>an atmosphere
of that kind The big hotels obeyed
the law on the first. of July, and the
leading saloons. think. obeyed it. and
they continued to do 80, at least so far
as the hard liquor Is concerned.
They sold 2.75 per cent. beer pretty
generally, but that question was being
disputed in the courts and we arrested
persons who sold that kind of beer in
many jurisdictions. and about half of
the United States courts decided with
the Government and the other halt de-
cided against the Government, and we
continued to enforce the law in those
Jurisdictions where the courts were with
US: but in New York the court was
against us on that proposition. and they
continued to sell pretty openly 2.75
per cent beer.
''The larger places obeyed the law SO
far as hard liquor Is concerned until
they came to the conclusion that We
did not have the force necessary to en-
force the law and then you could go
into pretty nearly any place in New
York and p0t-your foot on the brass rail
in the same old fashion and get anything
you wanted
I'VE made forty or fifty arrests Au-
gust % and We will make more II neces-
sary, but 1 cannot go very much further
in a big city like New York without
money. II takes money because l cam
not send an Investigator into a saloon to
get evidence that whiskey is being sold
without his buying some and having 1t
put into bottle and taking 1t out and
testing It go that he can prove 1t in
court"

nections;
9. To effect early deliveries at
freight houses and team tracks; and

instructions have also been issued
for the establishment in each importa Mt
terminal of a committee OF officers of

1t will be to study and expedite the
movement of cars, empty and loaded,
in their respective terminals.
Every effort is being made to speed
up the construction of 100000 freight
cars ordered by the Railroad Admins
tration last year and to place in service
such OF these cars as are still In
storage. The Railroad Administration
has decided to place all these cars in
service, irrespective of whether the al
locations are accepted by the railroad
corporations.
ION September 8, 1919, 54.o6s OF these
cars were completed and in service and
17,469 were in storage awaiting letter

Many other BENEFITS.

In practicable application OF his
plan Mr. Perkins sees remedy, II not
actually n solution, of many other prob
lens. 1t would Increase production, with
the world now crying for supplies, re-
duce costs to the consumer, foster and
extend trade and enable this country to
meet the keen competition of foreign
markets, he said. Only real coopera-
ton between capital and labor will
bring about this amelioration of condi-
tons. he said, and added:
THE only way to secure this coopera-
ton in the highest degree is by eliminat-
ing the distrust that has existed between
ca pital and labor for so many years and
establishing confidence in its place
Nothing will do this except frank, open
dealing, publicity as to earnings and a
fair division of earnings.
"Since the beginning of time no coun-
try has ever had such an opportunity to
extend its trade, increase its prosperity
and better the material condition Of
every one of its people as has the United
States at this very hour. The only fac
tor missing is that of close cooperation
here at home among ourselves. ct seems
inconceivable that we viii fail to realize
where our weakness lies and fail to
adopt the one and only remedy for 1t.
In the strenuous competition with the
rest of the world that this country Is on
the eve of facing could we have
stronger weapon than complete coopera-
ton between capital and labor at
home?"

ton police TO affiliate with the A. i. of

ing the strike by refusing this right, Mr..
Vol. who appeared in the absence OF

while the American workers hold

that there Is a method of redress open
