many little debts that have been
incurred.
THE Commission hopes that la
Dor people throughout the State
will cooperate to see that these
widows are not robbed of this
money which they so sorely need
for other purposes. Most of the
undertakers are just as humane as
other business men and will not
take advantage of the widows. The
others, who have been in the habit
of taking advantage of them in the
past, must be made to know that
such advantage will not in the fu-
ture be tolerated.
There are many other splendid
features to the amendments adopt
ed at the last session of the Degis-
lature and the Commission will at
an early date bring all of these
features to the attention of the
workmen of the State, by issuing in
concise form a synopsis of the law,
copy of which will be Immediately
sent to each injured workman, so
that he may fully understand just
how the law covers his case. The
Legislature of 1919 went further
than any previous session since the
enactment of the Compensation Act
in broadening its provisions, and
the splendid accomplishments along

 In the light of this experience Attorney General Palmer probably disappointed his expectation that this lat judicial determination will reduce food prices There is nothing show that the creation of large number of uLs in the place of single nterrelated will cheapen commodities. It will probably tend to in crease prices somewhat, management and operation should where small erated independently of each other
 Thus method has been discovered for the ducion prices commodities enterprise remaining hands Government price fixing has been measuraby successful.

 Few are those nowadays believe the price Of commodities be permanently reduced merely by egisla ing big business units into large number of smaller units.

 IN THOUSANDS
tContinued from Page One.)

Misfortune is also believed to have oyertaken the coasting schooner Louisa Maud. A wireless message today from the tanker British Gen eral, which left here yesterday for Holland stated that she had picked up two men of the Nfaud's crew.
 After a four day battle with fire and storm, the British steamer Lam castrian reached here late yesterday and anchored in quarantine. Ac. cording to Captain Wood, master of the ship, the fire was discovered in No. hold, filled with chemicals, las1 Sunday morning. Although ham, pered in their efforts by a heavy storm, the crew laid steam pipes into the hold, and, ignoring the danger of an ex0' 0'osion, fought to save the cargo. -esterday, as a last resort Captain Wood decided to flood the hold to prevent the fire spreading.
 The Lancastrian sailed from Ant werp December 2, for New York.

SCHOOL MARRIAGE RESULTS IN WIFE
 GETTING I DIVORCE
Thompson Thought Wife Super Being Refused
 to Buy Clothes.

When I first met you I regarded you as a super-be!ng, but later found you were q very ordinary girl" wrote Virgil Thompson to his young bride, Minnie Thompson, who was granted & divorce from him by Judge Reed in the superior court this afternoon, Thompson is a sailor in the United States navy and is sta toned in Panama.
 The wife, who is only q years old. was attending Greenwich High school when she met Thompson. They were married on August 22, 1915, but the young bride discovered that her hus- band was very ordinary, too, for he did not give her g. cent while they were married and she had 10 buy her own clothes.
 Thompson was so disgusted with married life that he went away and never returned. The wife's mother testified that she wrote to Thompson urging him to return but he refused.

PLAN TO CHECK

 the public to check extra yagance in

 Suggestions for the conference came from producers of wearing apparel and a committee of r is being chosen.
 the personnel of which will be an-
 nounce1 atfer tho Christmas holidays
 The afna1gamated clothing unions will
 be represented in the conference,
 MT. Figg said if was generally agreed among producers that one
 essential for reducing the cost of
 clothing was to have manufacturers
 devote their plants to necessities,
 meaning the type of clothing pur-
 chasable by the average man. Some
 clothing manufacturers were said to believe that mems suits now selling for $55 retail could be sold at a profit for $25, if an arrangement could be worked out between mills, manufac- turers and retailers, whereby a cer- tain percentage of business could be devoted to goods of standard quality to be turned out in quantity.
 There is no intention to design a uniform for the public, MT Figg stated, and the standard goods under consideration would be standard in quality, rather than in pattern. The department of justice also is taking other steps to turn the reac- 1 ton of the public to the lower priced goods, neglected in the reaction from war prosperity. MT. Figg has sug- gested to the national retail drygoody ! association that ''economy depart
 ments'' be established by the asso- ciation's members, which would call the attention Of customers to tha
 fact that goods of excellent quality
 but medium in price still are to be had.
 MT. Figg has disapproved the ac-
 ton of some merchants, however, who
 were said to have taken advantags
 of the suggestion and inaueurated
 economy sales.'' The goverrmen. does not desire to stampede the
 public into purchasing goods no; needed, simply because they are ad- Vertised as ''bargains." MT. FTgg said With the coal strike over. orFcis Is
 expect to give renewed attention to
 the cost Of living. A call was sent out today from Attorney General Pal mer's office today for a meeting of the committee with whom he has met Frequently in the past on the trend 1 of prices.

 You have never changed your mind that the strike was a breach Of law" Senator Townsend, Repub- ncan, of Michigan, inquired.
 T never have,' MT. Palmer re- piled, ''The injunction was issued and is still in effect''
 He added that the miners now were obeying the order of the court.
 Did they always obey it2' Senator Townsend asked.
 The letter of the court order was obeyed from the first" was the reply. but insofar as getting men actually back to work. was not so successful as we had expected"
 You considered that the order was violated, did you not?'' Senator Townsend continued.
 ''I did, and we instituted further proceedings because we had some evil dence that the order was not being obeyed in good faith by some of the union officials
 Grand jury Investigations, MT. Pal mer said, ws,, still goin $ on involving the whole question.
 Mir. Palmer explained that the in junction was intended to separate the strikers from their leaders and the union funds.
 Was there anything said to the de- fendant officers of the union which would make them understand that no further prosecution would be com menced against theln?'' Senator Townsend inquired.
 Not one wor2i,'' MT. Palmer said. At the request of Senator Townsend MT. Palmer described the conditions leading up to court action. He told of efforts of Secretary Wilson to mediate between the miners and operators.
