With Profiteer1ng.

CHICAGO. November s.-To back
up their charges that some of their
employers were profiteering, striking
butchers today opened large retail
shop and sold porterhouse steak at IS
cents a pound, veal chops at 16 cents
a pound and hamburger steak at 10
cents a pound. Other meats were
sold at a correspondingly low price,
and the union butchers declared that
although the figures were from 80 to
IS per cent below the prices charged
by a majority of retail dealers, the
strikers were making a fair profit
on their sales. The union butchers
are demanding an increase from $35
to $40 a week in their minimum

The enthusiasm for motor stocks
in Wall street is no greater than the
interest displayed in all sections of
the United States over the automo-
bile and its future. In addition to
the many attractions offered by the
machine itself there is the extra
stimulant OF bodybuilding, opening
up new possibilities for the automo-
bile. Probably one billion dollars will
be expended in the next few years

that for 1916.

MAY SELL SILVER
IF PRICE ADVANCES
Danger Point Is at the Parity
of the Big Silver
Dollar.

The danger point for silver in the
United States is not $12929 an ounce,
or the parity of the silver dollar with the
gold dollar. but s1.3S23. the melting
point of the subsidiary silver. Mexico.
| France and other European nations
| have already seen the price of silver
| make the bullion value of their currency
exceed its face value, causing silver
coins to be boarded or melted. to the
great embarrassment Of retail trade.
POSTAGE stamps and various kinds of
scrip are being used to make change,
and the proposition of substituting
! nickel coins for silver coins is being
considered by treasures of the coun-
| tries affected.
Silver has sold this week as high as
sl;2S an ounce. although the so-called
ofnclal price. the equivalent Of the Lon
don price, did not exceed S123A. So
far as banking circles are informed the
Treasury has not taken any steps to
prevent the price of silver from exceed
ing the gold parity point Of s1.2929 an
ounce, but it was suggested by one
banker with close Washington connec-
| tons that the government might turn
seller OF the white metal to stem the
advance.
The Pittman Act.
The Pittman silver act. which was en-
acted in April. 1918. authorized the Sec
rotary of the Treasury to melt and sell
as bullion not in excess of $50. OOo, 900
standard silver dollars While the pri-
mary purpose of this act was to provide
bullion for sale to Great Britain for
shipment to India, the act stated, "Sales
purpose Of conserving the existing stock
Of gold in the United States, of facili-
tating the settlement in silver of trade
balances adverse to the United States,
of providing silver for subsidiary coinage
and for commercial use.'
This clause protects the Treasury
against high prices Of silver for coin
age, as the Secretary of the Treasury
can sell to the director of the mint
silver bullion derived from melted
also authorizes the melting of dol
lars and sale of bullion for CONNER
cial purposes and to settle balances
of trade.
Stock Reducing.
The stock of silver dollars on April
| /. 1918. was 56s,26s,513 and on Octo-
crease of 26o,123754, which repre-
sents dollars melted. This leaves
leeway of S9.S76,246 dollars which the
Treasury can melt and sell under the
authorization Of the Pittman act.
The demand for silver with steadily
rising prices comes at a time when
production was curtailed due to
miners strikes in the United States
and Canada and to the reduced OPP
erations Of copper companies which
produce silver as by-product. The
miners strikes have since been set
tied, although production is being re-
sumed very slowly. Sale by the gov
eminent of additional melted dollars
would serve to supply the demand
while the mines are getting under
| full operation, although, In view of
| the world shortage of silver. such
measures would have only tempo
rary effect.

URGES REFORMS TO AID
JUVENILE COURT WORK
Judge Kathryn Sellers Suggests
the Tribunal Should Have
Chancery Jurisdiction.

Judge Kathryn Sellers of the Juve-
nile Court. speaking before the Juve-
nile Protective Association last night
in the gold room of the Shoreham
Hotel, recommended many reforms to
aid the work of the Juvenile Court.
Judge Sellers suggests giving the
court chancery as well as criminal
jurisdiction. and power to continue
probation of children for two years
after they reach the age of seventeen.
She advocated laws giving the court
power to punish adults who contribute
to the delinquencies Of children; to
make mothers of illegitimate children
responsible for their support in the
same degree as are mothers of legiti-
mate children: to make mothers of il
legitimate children of whom the father
is unknown responsible for their sup
port, and to put parents employing chill
dren on the same plane with other en-
ployers of children.

One Car to Every Fourteen.

BY the turn Of the new year there
will be a car for every fourteen per-
sons in the United States. based on
the estimated population of 105,253.-
400 a year ago. In the New England
states. with a car for fifteen persons.
and in the eastern region. with one for
every seventeen, the showing is near
to the average rate. However, the
distribution throughout the country
is not so uniform, with the ratio one
for every twenty-five in the south.
ten in the midwest, nine in the far
west and one for every eight persons
along the Pacific slope.
The density" is greatest in those
states where climate conditions are
mild and even all the year round and
in the farming regions. Iowa stil
leads with a car for every SO persons.

Motor Truck Registration.

Registration Of motor trucks through
out the country will total from 100000
to 100000. Auto-truck traffic has as
sumed record proportions and threatens
to have an important bearing upon earn
ings Of the nations steam roads. In
cidentally, the out turn of motor trucks
this year is expected to number slightly
below 100000 despite the small produc-
ton of the first three months. Passen-
ger car production this year is expected
to reach 100000.
This productive rate is far below cur
rent requirements. In almost every
town and city dealers are way behind
in their orders. And the demand is on
the increase. That the absorptive power
is still ahead of production is in
dictated by the fact that IL the nation
as a whole had Iowa's automobile
density" there would be 17,50O,OO0 cars
on the road today. or nearly 10000
