Manchester, England. April 20.
Unemployment in Lancashire con-
tinues to increase and the outlook In
the cotton manufacturing districts Is
regarded as grave. At Preston there
are now more than 1900 persons
drawing the government cut-of-wnrk
donation, and about half Of them are
in the cotton trade.
Large numbers of miners, including
many demobilized soldiers, are out of
work
Despite considerable demand for
domestic servants women decline to
accept such employment because they
consider the work too trying. The
domestic servant, they further say, is
not treated with the respect to which
she is entitled.

Edwin J. O'Malley. Commissioner Of

charges that the sale of army food
stuffs to the public Was conducted or
profiteering margins by saying that
The net profit Will be found 20 be less
than half cent a pound
He pointed out that 40,50o 600 pounds
Of food were sold and that this, at
one cent pound would nave yielded
Sf09.ooo profit. Instead, he declared
the margin, after bills are all paid, will
he scarcely S265, 900 Had the goods
been sold at onehalf cent less, he
declared, there would have been a
deficit. He explained that he had been
personally responsible and any losses
would have to be made up from his
own money, or taken from the SlO0.-
600 bond he had deposited with the
government.

They asked that the surplus remaining
from the sale Of army food be expended

planned to them that the disposal of the
money was in the hands Of a committee

probably attempt to have his counsel

Mrs. Heath Not Satisfied
Mrs. Julian Heath, president OF the
Housewives League, wrote second
time to Mayor Hylan yesterday, telling
him that his reply to her letter charg-
ing the Markets Department with
profteering and inefhciency had been
unsatisfactory. She pointed out that
net profit OF 10 per cent was ex-
cessive and probably as much as
merchants get She said that turning
The surplus over 10 charity was equiv
alent to placing a charity tax on the
sale OF staples.
She said that the special committee
Of hey organization formed to investi-
gate the Department of Public Markets
wanted facts and figures on just what
II had done to reduce the living cost
She also said that tho Mayor did
wrongly when he shifted the blame on
his comml ssioncrs, as he was rcspon-
sib!c to the people for their conduct.
