JOBBERS' BOYCOTT
LAID TOU. RULE
Terminal Manager Mantell's
Order Bars Fruit and Produce
Buyers From Pier.
INCREASES DRAYAGE COST
Situation Likely to Send Liv-
ing Costs Up for New York
Consumers.

A sudden boycott declared early yes
terday by jobbers against commission
merchants who handle rcuit and produce
at the railroad piers in Manhattan re-
manned unbroken last night. Prospects
OF a settlement Of the difficulty appeared
remote.
As result retail prices may advance
sharply all over the city, as many OF
the dealers declare they will permit fruit
and vegetables to rot on the docks rather
than accept them under conditions which
have been imposed by agents Of the
Federal Railroad Administration. The
situation last night was admittedly COM
plicated, and no one could be found who
cared to predict what the outcome Nigh,
be. Jobbers declared they would buy
nothing this morning unless former con.
ditions were restored.
On February Is ]. ]. Mantell. who II
terminal manager OF the New York
terminal district for the Railroad Ad
ministration, issued an order excluding
buyers from the piers. thus overturnine
a trade custom OF forty years standing
Costs More Than Drayage.
Under Mantells decree only store
trucks" were allowed to enter the docki
and carry away goods actually consigned
to the houses from which the trucks
came. Heretofore goods have been sold
direct from car floats at the piers and
buyers have done their own trucking.
The ruling had the practical effect OF
requiring the buyers to pay an additional
charge OF approximately 12h cents fol
drayage on each package. and also Of
causing great delay in transporting fruit
and vegetables from the docks to the
jobbing establishments in the early
morning hours.
Mr.. Mantells ruling has been enforced
at some docks ever since II was issued
but yesterdays complaints were made
that discrimination was being shown
and that buyers were allowed to entel
the Old Dominion and Pennsylvania
freight piers as formerly. As result
of these complaints there was a stric
enforcement OF the rule all along the lin,
yesterday morning.
The buyers learned during the nigh
that they were to be excluded from al
docks and boycott was at once de
termined upon. They declared that the,
not only could not afford to pay thu
extra charge for carriage but that thu
delay in securing shipments would re
suit in their Inability to handle pur
chases to advantage as practically al
sales are made during the early hour
and deliveries must be prompt.
The reason given by the Railroad Ad
ministration for the order Is that man!
complaints have been received of thu
theft of packages from piers and o
confusion in the delivery on consign
ments.

from Washington recently, says the
San Francisco Chronicle. The ma.

map out forest and other surveys and
to act as detectives to find outlaw
cotton planters in Texas, Arizona and
southern California.
Lieutenant Compere at Ellington a
year ago investigated the cotton stu
alton. Owing to danger Of an inva-
sion of pink boAworm from Mexico 1t
was necessary to. create restricted
safety zones where no cotton could be
grown. Certain outlaw planters In
land surrounded by heavy forests have
defed the government and planted in
these districts. which are difficult to
find. The young Californian took a
camera with him. cruised over the for

snapped seven outlaw fields. The
fields were destroyed. COmpere has
been released from service and will
soon return to California to organize

OLD THINGS UNDER THE SUN
Democracy In Ancient Jewish Days and
the League Of Nations,
Are Two.

The democratic idea is of great antiq-
uity, the Christian Herald reminds its
readers. Under the prophets and
judges, Israel was democracy. 1t was
not until they were fascinated by the
barbaric splendor and unrestrained IL
cense OF the heather nations around
them that they began to be dissatisfied
with their own simple Ways and to long
for king and snowy court. 1t was
the lure of sin and worldly vanity.
Samuel warned them against courts
and kings and told them of what would
happen, but his warnings went unheed-
ed. The vision of the age of peace
began as early as eight centuries B. c.,
but 1t was not until the Christian era
that the world change in the existing
order fully dawned upon the minds of
men. The idea of a league of nations
is not new. Such league was fore
Swallowed by Jean Bloch, in his re-
markable book, "The Future of War"
issued 20 years ago. 1t was also fore
seen by Emanuel Kant, who, in his es-
say on perpetual Peace" wrote that
the law of nations must be based on
the federation of free states. At diff
ferent times leaders in national and
international reform have had visions
of such league, but always as a pos
Sibllity Of the remote future. 1t has
remained for the United States to
prOmulgate it at a time when the
world seems prepared to listen.

to come.

PROPER AMERICAN is SIMS
Many Reasons Wy Rear Admiral
= Has Obtained and Retains Gen.
eraI Popular Regard.

Rear Admiral Sims came quietly
into town the other day made a
speech or two, and when he left he
had Washington hanging to his very
abbreviated jacket tail. Folks here
certainly did like the admiral A
popular idol that obtains the pIaudits
of Washington is pretty good.
These are some of the things the
people liked about the admiral: He
said very positively that he will not
write book on the war: he referred
to the navy's part in the war as its
stunt" he boosted General Pershing
to the skies, indicating that the ad-
miral is without a jealous streak; he
referred jocularly to himself as 1.-The
only rear admiral in captivity" and
said he was glad to exhibit himself if
the folks wanted to see him; and,
best of all, he took time to talk with
every one who could squeeze a word
into his ears.
Down at the Union station, when the
admiral was boarding his private car.
a gray-haired woman rushed up and
shook his hand warmly.
"This is the proudest day of my life.
ADMIRAL" she said. II now have
shaken hands twice with you"
"All right. my dear lady," the ad-
miral replied, raising his cap. I'm
glad If meeting me pleases you. Come
around again the next time I'm in
town and We'll shake third time"
If any further proof that the ad-
miral is human were needed, it might
be stated that he plays rafting
game of misunderstanding Star.

IuDs, rOllers, a water-nearIng system.
When, last January, we ended the
lease and moved out the officer who
conducted the business offered to leave
the plumbing wheresi 1t was, since its
removal would cost asSmuch, as it was
worth. The French owner refused. We
had to take out our plumbing. What
he wanted from that chateau was not
sanitation, but venerable beauty, and
the sense that he dwelt In. the same
Identical home as his. ancestor Of the
tenth generation back.

Eighteen hours day at hard labor
