ONE STORY OF
SPOILED MELONS
AND PROF|TEERS

A housewife in a large Ohio city
asked her neighborhood grocer the
price OF half watermelon. Seven.
ty-fve cents" he told her. ooh, I'd
never pay that" she replied. "Well,
you could stand it," he retorted
Money is plenty" To which the
housewife replied: "That may be,
but l have moral scruples about pay
ing such price,"
In this same city, on the same day
nineteen carloads of watermelons
were thrown on dump for the fies
to eat These melons had been con-
signed originally to Cleveland, but
because Of fear that they might break
the market a cent or two, they had
been turned away and sent to Buffalo.
On reaching Buffalo, they had been
rejected again for the same reason.
IThe insufferably high market price
must be maintained at all costs. Then
the nineteen cars of melons wended
their way to Pittsburg, to be turned
away again. Back to Cleveland they
were sent, and by this time the ship
ment had spoiled.
Who will pay the freight on these
melons for the course of their wan
derings? Does anyone believe that
the consumers will be allowed to es-
cape?
This incident illustrates the down.
right criminality of the profiteers,
who prefer throwing away food that
is desperately needed, rather than
allow a plentiful supply to lower the
prices. 1t is matter of general
that surplus foods that
cannot be put away indefinitely in
cold storage warehouses are being
destroyed or allowed to rot.

,oday is the cost of living. The

SENATE APPROVES 'SHANTUNG CLAUSE
Rejects Amendment Approved By Foreign Relations Com mittee-l4 Republicans Swing Over to Pro-Treaty Party.

Washington, Oct. 16--The long de- bated Shantung amendment to the peace treaty, presented by Senator Lodge and approved by the foreign relations committee, finally was re- jected in the Senate today with a ma jority of an even score against it.
 In the vote of 35 to 55, IA Republi- cans swung over to the pro-treaty forces, while three Democrats lined up with those supporting the propos- al. Of the six senators absent two Republicans were put on record as in favor of the amendment and one Re- publican and three Democrats as op- posing it. The roll call, which came at the end of another six and half hours of sharp debate, in reality swept away six amendments instead of one, each change in the treaty text having been numbered separately by the committee in it's decision to strike out the word Japan" and substitute the word "China" throughout the sec tions relating to the province of Shan tung. By unanimous consent, how ever, the six changes were debated and voted on as one.
 Only three of the committees 45 amendments now remain to be acted on by the Senate, 36 previously hav- ing been rejected. Of those remaining one relates to American representa- tion on the reparations commission and two to equalization of voting power in the league of nations as- sembly.

PETROCRAD SAID
 TO HAVE FALLEN
Concerted Action of All-Russian Forces Bringing Results - Poles Advancing From West, Cossacks From South.

London, Oct. 16.--Gen. Yudenitch is reported to have captured Petrograd last night, according to the Daily Ex- nress. There is no official confirma- ton of the report.
 Kronstadt, the big naval fortress protecting the former Russian capitol, is said to have capitulated.
 London, Oct. 16.-Forced back by the onslaughts of enemies on four fronts, the armies of the soviet gov ernment of Russia appear to be fac ing a period pregnant with disaster. Gen. Denikine's Cossacks from the south, Polish forces from the west, Northwestern Russian legions on the northwest and Northern Russian troops from the north have during the last few days forged ahead until it seems the Bolshevik armies are be- tween the upper and neither millstones
 Petrograd is doomed to capture, in the opinion of observers, Gen. Yude- hitch being at Gatchina, only 25 miles south of the former Russian capital. In the extreme north the Northern Russian army has broken the resist ance of the Bolsheviki, according to reports, and are pursuing them to- ward Omega, a village about 150 miles west of Archangel. Further to the south it has forced it's way far down along the Dvina river. Polish forces have captured Kovno, on the extreme northern end of their line. Denikine's men have driven giant wedge into Central Russia as far as Orel and are thought to be on their way toward Tula, an important railway center, that is considered the key to Moscow. East of the Urals is Admiral Kol- chak's army, but it is seemingly too far away to enter into consideration as vital factor in the situation which is developing in Russia proper. Gems. Denikine and Yudenitch and Admiral Kolchak are said to be operating in close coordination.
 West of Gen. Denikine's army are forces of Ukranians, who, while sup posed to be hostile to the Bolsheviki, have declared war on Denikine be- cause of alleged atrocities perpetrat- ed by the latter's soldiers on their ad- vance toward Moscow. Reports have been received, however, that part of the Ukranian army has joined Deni- kine, having been assured the latter Will wrest Eastern Galicia and the Province of Chelm from Poland.

STRIKERS READY
 FOR PROCEEDINGS
Wifi Move Against Local and County Officials-Make Issue On Free Speech and Assemb- lage.

Pittsburgh, Oct. 16.-Labor leaders conducting the steel workers strike in the Pittsburgh district completed their preparations today to make legal attack against local and county authorities in Allegheny county on the question of free speech and free assemblage, which the strikers have had denied them. Papers in the con- templated court proceedings have been prepared and it is expected in- functions will be applied for tomor- row against officials in Pittsburg and Allegheny county and in some of the cities and boroughs of the county to restrain them from interfering with the meetings of local unions and la- bor mass meetings. Applications for injunctions, it is said, might be ap- piled for both in the county and fed eral courts.
 Mayor E. V. Babcock today issued statement in reply to a warning sent him yesterday by counsel for the strikers that legal action would be taken if there were any further un- lawful interference with union meet ings. Tn mayor said:
 "That all may clearly understand my position in the controversy. raised by Attorney w. B. Rubin, represent ing among others, John Fitzpatrick, Chicago, H., chairman, and William z. Foster, secretary treasurer, of the national committee for organizing steel workers, over holding meetings in the city of Pittsburgh, I desire to say that deem it for the best inter- est of the city that no meetings be held held iii iii the strike zones nave given orders to that effect.
 Peace and order in the city must be maintained. The fact that Mir. Foster continually in the city and had the reputation of starting trouble in other places, causes me to plan to be ultra safe and conservative in the interest of the city of Pittsburgh and all the people inside of it's confines. There is no objection whatever to public meetings outside of the strike zones in the city limits"
 The mayor said the police depart ment is maintaining order with a firm hand, "but not with rough or in- human hand"
 "The general situation is excellent" said Secretary Foster tonight, with prospects of gains in small communi- ties to which we have been unable to give more attention heretofore. Only the successful outcome of the legal proceedings under way to secure free speech is necessary to close up the places in the immediate vicinity of Pittsburgh which are now crippled to
