WILLIAMS EXPECTS
NO RISE IN PRICES
Believes Food Dealers viii
Not Take Advantage.

Arthur Williams. Federal Food Ad-
minlstrator. expressed the belief last
night that food dealers here will not
make any possible shortage of food
stuffs in this city. resulting from the
longshoremen's strike, an excuse for
raising prices.
1.-THE dealers all know that our fair
prices are based on costs" he said, land
l am confident they will cooperate in
this matter.
THE strike leaders," the food admin
istrator continued. "all are in favor of
moving perishable foodstuffs at the
terminals. and when spoke TO the
strikers Saturday afternoon ] was as
sured that they would vote on the ques-
ton. In my talk to the men ] said that
food once spoiled never could be re-
placed and that destruction OF food
couldn't possibly help any one The atti-
tude of the men was all that could be
asked. They impressed me as being
willing to do the thing asked without
weakening their cause with the public
or the steamship companies"
Mr.. Williams assured the men at the
meeting that he had no thought or ex-
pressing an opinion, one way or the
other. as TO the merits OF the strike
He appeared before them, he said, solely
In the interests of keeping costs of liv-
Ing down by saving foodstuffs from
spelling wherever possible.

BARE CHANCE TO AVERT

sp.cial Despateh to Tnr srv.


PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 12.-After both
miners and operators in the soft coal
fields had fingered hero all of to-day
each in the hope the other side would
reeede from the position maintained
throughout the conference, which ended
yesterday morning without any agree
nrent having been reported. hope OF
averting a strike on November 1 finally
! was abandoned.
The operators left the city late In the
afternoon for their homes. They said
the situation was OF the miners own
| making and 1t was impossible for them
to settle the trouble. John l.. Lewis
acting president OF the United Mine
Workers OF America, said he would leave
Philadelphia tomorrow for strike head
quarters in Indianapolis and would issue
1000 copies of the strike order notifying
100000 miners to quit work on Noyem-
Der 1. That will cut Off 90 per cent.
Of the soft coal production of the coun-
try. he said.
Leaders of the miners denied the
strike order was an attempt to force the
hand Of the Government in adjusting
their differences They said the oper-
ators were eager for Government inter-
vention, but because of the illness OF
President Wilson did not know to whom
to appeal in Washington. The miners
declared they knew the sentiment OF
! their men and were capable OF handling
the situation IL no one interfered with
thsm.
81 shall issue the strike order imme-
diately upon my arrival in Indianapolis,
Mr. Lewis said. IT regret II very much.
The position of the workers was deter
mined by the convention In Cleveland.
1t was decided there that II an agree
ment with the operators could not be
reached by November general
strike should be called. We have about
1000 local organizations, and IL will take
several days to print that many copies
OF the strike order. but there viii be no
delay.
we do not want any Government In
Prevention. though We know that the
pcrators' executive committee said.
the situation ourselves"
we are through and we are going
home this afternoon" member of the
operators executive committee said.
The whole situation was brought about
by the miners and we are going to let
them settle II. We are willing TO meet
them again whenever they request IT."
To that statement Ellis Searles editor
of the Minc Workers Journal and spokes-
man for the miners. said the miners
would meet the operators whenever the
operators requested It
When asked II there was any chance
OF avertirg the strike Mr.. Searies re-
piled: There Is n possibility without n
probability. Some third party may step
IN and bring about an agreement !
have no idea regarding who this third
party might be. II might be the Gov
eminent; It might be the National Coal
Association. an association Of coal oper-
tors In all parts OF the country. or II
might be some other agency. But there
has been no indication that any such
stem will be taken nv anybody. There
is just the barest kind OF possibility OF
avoiding the strike

Is often times the mother of invention.
1t is possible In this age of marvels
that the whole future of magazine pub
fishing may be revolutionlzed by the
Summation of what has heretofore been
the costlicst operation--the typesetter.
The present departure will at least fur
rish a basis for many other experiments
TO this end"
The Publishers Printing Company,
which Issues the Literary Digest, has
been abe to keep It's press rooms open
while those of other magazines In this
city have been closed by special ar
rangement through the Printers League
with the pressmen's union newly char
tered by Major George L. Berry, inter-
national president of the pressmen. This
union was formed to replace the strik-
Ing unions, which have been suspended
by their international.
As the strike was declared In the
Publishers Printing establishment be-
fore the time set for the general WALK
out OF pressmen II was an easy matter
to I'LL the places of the strikers. The
compositors' wa'kout was staged later
for the purpose of frustrating tho plans
Of the new pressmen's union. Tile
Printers League. including the bulk OF
the employing printers OF the city,

plant should continue running Its

sentation when the conference resumes
It's sessions.
The farmer delegates, II was said by
Mr.. Bradfute, do not object to the pay
ment OF wages to organized labor on
the basis of an eight hour day, but they
believe that the farmers are entitled TO
remuneration for the longer hours OF
their working days.
Several of tho farmer delegates are of
the opinion that national farming con-
ference will be called after tho present
Industrial conference has adjourned, and
that settlement OF their troubles Is not
within the scope OF tho gathering now
in session. However, they expect to
take an active part in the discussion of
the high cost OF living question with
the intention of showing that the blame
cannot rightly be laid against the
farmer.

CATHOLIC KNIGHTS
HONOR COLUMBUS
Prof. Ryan Assails Judge Gary
in Attack on Radicalism of
Labor and Capital.

Charscterizing the policy of Judge
Ebert II. Gary. chairman of the United
States Steel Corporation. as "fiippant
and cruel in his refusal to "arbitra e.
with the unions, the Rev. John A. Ryan.
d. D., Professor OF Socio ogy. Catholic
University of America. attacked with
equal vigor the radicalism of labor and
the autocracy OF capital in an address
before several thousand Knights of CO.
lumbus and their friends at the Co.
lumbus Day celebration held in Carnegie
Hall last night The meeti-g was one
of q number held throughout the city by
similar organizations durirg the day to
commemorate the 427th anniversary OF
the discovery Of America.
DR.. Ryan was unsparing in his con-
denlnation of ultraradicalisnn. WI 'cl, he
charged was responsible for the recent
contract violations.
"A radica, attitude Is not necessarily
evil; all depends upon the degree OF
radicalism," he said. when It is so
extreme that 1t shuts out the view OF
every side of the situation except the
ore the radical is defending Ii Is pad.
The radicalism of labor Is excessive to-
day in three ways--it violates contracts,
as in the strikes of tine printers and
longshoremen in New York II demands
impossible advantages, as when the coal
miners and some other groups contend
for a six hour day and u five day
week. and 1t abuses its present great
power through n lack of reasonable
modera ton in pressing demands that are
otherwise legitimate, as in the case of
tie steel strike and several Others" DR..
Ryan declared.
BALANCED phrases of enaemic IDEAL
ism" must be supplanted by the talk Of
man to man IL we are to put down the
men who have come to this country with
no love for her soul or respect for her in
stitutions,' according TO cambridge
Colby. who pointed TO the Knights of
Columbus as an organization active in
preserving law and order.
II seemed perhaps that the carven
image OF the great navigator stood
q bit more proudly and erect on
its pedestal at Columbus Circle last
evening as the clouds broke away and
the setting sun lighted up the statue.
Al the foot of the pedestal lay the hand
some wreath placed there in the morning
by Mrs. Mariana Scimica, patroness-of
the festival being observed throughout
the day by the Italians of the city. De-
spite the rain and chill at IL O'Clock
yesterday the little party of sixty or
more representatives of the "Flgli di
Colombo" Order of the Sons of Column
tus, decorated the statue as has been
the custom for the last twenty-three
years.
In the evening a charitable festival
was held at the Han lem River Park and
Casino, l27th street and Second ave-
rue, attended by many thousands Of
persons OF Latin descent from this city
and the suburbs. The affair. which wa
presided over by Joseph Macrone, and
addressed by many prominent Italians,
lasted until early this morning.

Tor the first time a magazine issued

and the printers Of the periodical will
have scored a victory over the compost
tors who sought to force II to shut
down by walking out OF the plant at
time when the union officials were
pretending to be at peace with the en-
ployers.
All OF the reading matter In the
magazine, which has already been made
up. is printed from Photographic plates
taken from typewriter sheets The
editors OF the magazine explain the
reason for the adoption of this process
TO their readers. and declare It to be a.

BUT NONE SO POPULAR
AS MUTT AND JEFF

This year that best of all roaring
musical farce spectacles, "Mutt and
Jeff's Dream" comes to the Opera
House Thursday, Nov. 9th. with ev-
erything rearranged, sparkling and
rejuvenated. Mr.. Hill has replaced
everything heretofore used with en-
tirely new up-to-date material and
the consequence is brand new and
thoroughly finished farce comedy,
spectacular review of the latest fads
and funny things of the day. Mutt
and Jeff" has long since earned the
top-notch position among extrava-
CANT farces, and the idea of remodel
ing the scenic environment and re-
constructing the piece generally has
been an annual occurrence, but this
season an extra effort has been made
in the way of renewing the lines, sit
uations and decidedly refreshing
atmosphere permeates the entire per
formance. A brilliant and prettily
costumed chorus of youthful maidens
assist in the .attractively arranged
ensembles and the modern popular
music leaves nothing to be decided in
a musical way. The specialties are
the best that ever appeared in any
musical farce comedy. A wealth Of
money has been expended this season
to costume it beyond the fondest
dreams of the indulgent public.
Prices, SOC, 75c, $1.00 and $3.50.
Plus war tax. Seats on sale at Box
