There is one bunch of men In

Same Jobs for Civil Service Men

The War Department wishes
every man in the service who
was employed in the civil serv-
ice before the war to know that
his job is ready for him to re-
sumo.
1t is hoped that these men
will take the first opportunity
to communicate to their COM
handing officers, and to their
department heads in Washing
ton or elsewhere, the fact that
they are ready to go back to
their old positions.
Importance is placed on this
announcement because it means
much to the soldier who wishes
to get back his old place in life
and it will help the government
to solve the problem OF getting
the soldier Job.

sKaspryzyk enjoys Army life, and
displays a fine spirit when he says:
II am not pining for a discharge: I
am willing and ready to stay and
serve my country as long as there Is
any need"
The sergeant has been most cordial
in his relation to the "Y" and has
ever been ready to furnish transport
tation for the parties which come to
entertain the men in the "J' hut.
The secretaries, of course. appreciate
this greatly. and so there has sprung
up a fine feeling of friendship and
cooperation between them.
Sergt. KaspryZyk was born and
reared in Chicago. but he is greatly
interested in the governments pro-
posed land propositions. and 1t is be-
lieved that with his fine knowledge
of motor transportation he will fill
some position of importance and in
fuence when he has finally completed
his work in the Army and gets back
to civil life.

Market Trend

Western Should Be Price
on Monday, Say Experts
Butter a Cent Higher
Butter a Cent Higher
But Rally Is Believed To
Be Temporary; Strike in
England To Be Felt Here

The price of eggs moved a little
faster down toward the pre-war level
yesterday, when the wholesale market
dropped cents, from SO to AT cents
dozen. Ii retailers throughout the city
follow the example of the Washington
Market dealers, in passing on the de-
crease to the consumers as soon as pos
sble, the best Western eggs will retail
at 81 cents a dozen tomorrow. SINH
lar eggs brought 6o cents at wholesale
three weeks ago.
By purchasing butter yesterday from
other merchants who were overloaded
VIII olesalers were able to keep the mar
ket fairly active and the price hrmer
of the trading was done at AT cents,
one cent higher than on Friday. The
rally is only temporary, according to
They described it as IAN
of a steady downward
trend"
Fowl are becoming slowly cheaper,
it developed yesterday. While only
one cent drop was recorded, indications
presage a sharp decline. Lamb and
veal, in response to the increased de-
mand due to lowered prices, are show
ing unexpected frmness. With new re-
ceipts, however, substantial decrease
is expected.
The strike of British workmen, food
market experts pointed out yesterday,
will further reduce the cost of living
here. Thousands of tons of foodstuffs
ready for expectation probably will be
held back and thrown on the local
market The embargo on American
goods also will serve TO bring prices
to lower level. Armies of workmen
here will be thrown out of work. it
was said, and the demand for foodstuffs
will fall off proportionately during the
turnover of the labor market.
While the prices on stable commodi-
ties are tumbling, the market for the
minor foodstuffs is becoming chaotic
Cornmeal and oatmeal prices are de-
creasing with amazing rapidity. One
instance of three carloads of cornmeal
brought here originally for use as the
wheat substitutes required by the food
administration, illustrates the uncer-
tain conditions. This meal was bring
ing $50 ton when it was brought here
two months ago. Yesterday an offer of
$45 a ton was being favorably enter
tained

Soldiers accustomed 20 an outdoor

wise them what steps to take as to
selecting a suitable farm or arranging
loan to purchase land.
Commissioner Wilson points out
tnat placing unframed men on farms
or on land which they will be unable
to work at reasonable profit, is detri-
mental to the states agriculture.
The rural school teachers, through
the cooperation of Commissioner of
Education John H. Finley, are listing
farms in their districts which are for

scription blanks giving information on
these farms, which are being Forwarded
to the Division Of Agriculture. When
applications are made for farms the

Textile Strike
Danger Is Over,
Says Union Man
20 Per Gent of Employers
in North Have Conceded
Demands, Golden Asserts
Paterson Holding Out
Walkout of 10000 Workers
in That City Next Mon
day Is a Pos 5 i b ility

John Golden, president of the United
Textile Workers of America, announced
yesterday that all danger of general
strike in the industry was over. More
than 10 per cent of the extile manu-
lecturers in the North, he said, had
conceded the forty ight-hour demand
o fthe workers. Other employers gen
orally agreed TO compromise until a
definite settlement had been made.
Early in the day information was re-
oeived at Headquarters here that manu-
facturers in Lawrence. Mass, employ
ing $4,000 workers, had granted the
shorter week Then came the news of
10000 in Philadelphia. All the manu-
facturerS in New Bedford and Fall
River yielded. followed by similar &C
ton by employers in PaSsaic, N. J , and
other textile centres.
New England Mills Hold Out
Mr. Golden said few mill owners
in Rhode Island, New Hampshire and
Maine were still holding out, though
he did not think walkout would have
to be ordered to bring them around
In Utica and Cohoes the manufacturers
agreed to keep the mills running I'D
hours week until a satisfactory ad-
1uStment was MADE
The situation in Paterson, n. j., how
ever, he said was not so satisfactory.
There the demand is for 44-hour
week by $4,000 silk workers This is
being Vigorously fought by the manu-
facturers, majority of whom are
holding out for so hours An effort by
the employees to effect compromise
Of II hours was accepted by only five
mills. Louis Magnat, the union leader
IN Paterson, has informed about
5000 employees that thew probably
viii have to go on strike tomorrow
TO enforce their demands
Manufacturers Talk Fight
Edward Weyman, secretary Of the
Manufacturers Association, said that
SO per cent of the mill owners in Pater-
son would stand pat on the ffty-hour
proposition. and that tomorrow morn
ing probably would see most Of the
mills closed.
Mr. Golden said he believed reports
on Monday would show a complete vic
tory for the workers, although be had
no information from the South.
The State Reconstruction Commits
sion, it was announced by Mrs. Henry
Moskowitz, of the local office, will CON
fer with both sides in the various local
tiles where the situation has not yet
been cleared up.

this movement Is not merely a strike.
Some of them already are threatening
g six-weeks lockout | have talked
10 number of employers since Mon
day and not one of them has the
slightest conception of the real gravity
of the situaton--that it is a social and
not a wage movement that is afoot
Thinks 1t Only Reaction
One large employer told me that he
thought the situation only a reaction
due to war WEAKNESS and said that
after q few days or weeks of vacation
the men would all be back again; that
the good sense of the community
would eventually control.
But, senseless or otherwise this
strike is absolute Bolshevism, and
take the present disorders as only an
attempt on the part of shrewd leaders
to create few martyrs and arouse
the fighting spirit, thus bringing out
men to whom radical doctrines do not
appeal. In this respect the authorities
are playing right into their hands,
making worse what already was as bad
and widespread labor trouble as ever
existed anywhere.
For the time being the social crisis
here is overshadowing the peace ne
gotiations, except among that class of
Engishmen who refuse to think that
the working man can possibly have
changed his ideas of life and of the
social structure.
