This is a lockout. not a strike"
declared Harry Jones. national or

citation OF Street Employees, in a
statement today in Lyceum Hall
Our organization could send 1000
men to the Interborough to go to

At the meeting OF strikers in the

that Frank Hedley. vice president
and general manager OF the Inter

the Amalgamated Association to
supply 500 men to help break the
strike.
w. B. Mangan. secretary of the
Interborough Brotherhood, warned
the men against violence.
Members of the Amalgamated AS
sociation say the brotherhood is mo-.
really a union organization. but
merely a creature Of the INTERIOR

be broken in very short order IL the
city should decide to seize and

Flu Sets Fad
For Women in
Hair Bobbing

Bobbed hair is rapidly becoming
fashionable among the women of
Washington local hairdressers say.
The influenza epidemic of last fall,
which often caused many women to
lose their hair, is responsible for the
fashion. according to the hairdress-
ers.
The women now hope to restore
the full glory OF their lost Jocks by
frequent cuttings.
Once the cutting has been in
dulged in. hairdressers say. and the
women discover how comfortable
bobbed hair can be. many refuse to
permit their hair to grow beyond
their ears.
Tall women. short women, fat and
thin, alike. view their shorn heads
in their mirrors, the hairdressers re-
port, and decide IT is becoming as
well as comfortable-"espe to
a woman of my type. my dear"
Ii Happens Like This
After one woman in any particu-
lar set has taken the fatefuI step,
the style is taken up by her friends.
Then blonds and brunettes flock to
the beauty parlOr and barber shops.
Many shops have hired artists"
to do the bobbing. and of late these
specialists are proving to be the
busiest of the attendants in the
shops.
Styles in bobbed hair vary with
the taste of the customer or the
pursuasive powers of the hair
dresser.
Mrs. So-and-sO may wear hers
cut on both front and back. reduc-
ing her morning hair dressing to a
mere running of the comb through

friend may prefer hair worn with a

as the first of more than 800 witnesses
who have asked to be permitted to
testify.
Party lines will be more or less
obliterated in the fight, it is ex-
pected.
Packers have no hope of preventing
passage Of some kind Of a regulatory
bill, it is assumed. They are prepared
for a finish fight, however. to pull the
teeth of the Kenyon bill in committee.
Since the introduction Of Senator
Kenyon's bill providing for the licen-
sing of the packers, members Of both
Houses of Congress have been
swamped with hundreds of kilograms
and communications. Many tele-
grams are due to the packers activi-
ties.
When the bill was frst introduced
agents were called in from their op-
Grating territories and instructed to
round up customers and to see that
kilograms were sent to their Sena-
tors and Representatives protesting
against the bill.
On the other hand hundreds Of tele-
grams have been received favoring the
bill. These come from farmers, from
labor organizations and from con-
sumers. The legislature of Montana
endorsed the bill by vote that was
almost unanimous.
Kenyon Bill Provisions.
The Kenyon bill embodies a radical
and far-reaching change in the gov
ernment's legislative policy in dealing
with industries where the tendency
is to monopoly, stifiing of competition
and maintenance of high prices. One
OF rhe aims of the bill is to separate
the packing industry proper from the
stockyards.
The bill provides that both packers
and stockyards shall be licensed, as
well as persons engaged in manufac-
turing dairy products or of preparing
poultry products or poultry for sale,
where the business exceeds $4,000 a
year.
Execution OF the act Is placed with
a Commissioner OF Foodstuffs to be
appointed by the President. with the
consent of the Senate, and acting
under the supervision OF the Secretary
of Agriculture.
The commissioner is given full au-
thority to investigate matters relat-
ing to supply and demand. costs and
prices. ownership. production. storage,
and operations OF stockyards, dairy
products. poultry and poultry pro-
ducts. Provisions are made for hear
ings before the Secretary of Agricul-
ture on charges of violation OF the
act and a penal clause is carried in
the act.
The Senate Committee on Agricul-
ture, of which Senator Gronna, OF
North Dakota. is chairman. will con-
duct its investigation of the Big Five
packers along the lines of the reports
made by the Federal Trade Commits
sion. The inquiry will go beyond the
packing industry proper into the
charges that the packers have gained
monopoly in hundreds OF other food
stuffs as well as their manipulation
of refrigerator cars, ownership OF
hotels, and their growing control OF
necessities OF life.

Injunction Is Ineffective.

him from calling the men out

Ticket-sellers and choppers and

ton OF the brotherhood men for
having struck at this time and Of

so desired. Powerhouse men, too,

The New York Central has an

will be thrown on the lines tomor-

however, see no relief in sight, ex-
cept what may be offered by jitneys

today. District Attorney Martin. of
Bronx County. said he had been in
formed that strikers were to be paid

reached him to the effect that en-

questions are:

give any hint of whether he intends
to seek a third term?
2. What degree of control will be
imposed on the meat-packing busi-
ness concerning which hearings be-
gin tomorrow in Congress?
3. Have the Republicans, as a re-
suit of their handling the peace
treaty and the league of nations,
paraded themselves before the coun-
try as ridiculous and lost that po-
litical advantage which they won
through their election to control of
Congress?
politicians are apxiously watching
to learn how the country took the
news that Senators Lodge and Knox
would be sent to Berlin to negotiate
new treaty If the proposed docu-
ment fails OF early ratification. Of
hcial Washington laughed and ap-
plauded when the President let il
be known this would be his coupe
II the treaty comes a cropper in the
Senate.
Have Republicans Lost.
II the nation took 1t the same way,
politicians say. there's no question
that the Republican party has lost
prestige. And SO far. say the poll
tcians. there's every reason to sup
pose the nation was just as quick to
see the point and the humor, of the
situation as Washington. The pic
ture of Senators Lodge and Knox go
ing hat in hand to Berlin to ask for
new treaty without being in a po-
sition to demand 1t. is one that de-
lights friends of the President, who
say he has neatly turned a trick on
the chief opponents of the league of
nations.
Tuesday morning will bring an
epochal conference when Lodge will
lead members Of the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee into a conference
with the President at the White
House. Arrangements now are be-
ing made to give to the country a
stenographic report of the converse
tions of the conference while it is
going on.
President Wilson is expected to de-
liver a final parting shot at the Re-
publican opposition just before he
leaves Washington, probably late this
week. to begin a stumping tour OF
the nation TO kick Congress into rati-
flying the treaty without amendment
or reservation.
Big Fight Predicted.
Hearings on the Kenyon and Ken
drick bills to regulate the meat pack
ing industry which start tomorrow
are regarded as certain to precipitate
one OF the bitterest fights Congress
has seen in years. The hearings will
be before the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee.

berry. 81 remember a big robbery
back in 1872 or 1873. That was when
a man, by the name Of Halleck, en-
tered the United States Treasury and
stole 1880. He got away with it,
too, although the police searched
from coast to coast for him. Finally
he compromised and turned into the
Treasury most Of the money, but they
never found him.
