NEW YORK HIT BY STORM;
SHORTAGE FUEL AND FOOD
Generalization of Transit Lines Is Un,
precedented, Only Subways Main
tanning Their Schedules

New York. Feb. New York was
stormbound late last night and there
was small prospect for immediate re-
lief The city's great army of COM
muters started home through snow
squalls blowing up from the northwest
by 30-mile gale and the weather bu-
reau said the fall would continue for
another II hours.
Decentralization of transit lines of all
kinds was almost unprecedented. Only
the subways were maintaining their
regular schedules and every train in
them was literally mobbed at the rush
hour. Surface cars had almost ceased
TO operate. Long lines of them were
tied up in all parts of the city behind
tangles of trucks, drays, motor busses,
automobiles and taXicabs.
So serious was the situation that
Mayor Hylan issued proclamation
late yesterday calling on all persons
engaged in the transportation bust
ness, except the delivery of foOdstuffs,
coal and milk, to cease work from last
night until Tuesday morning, turning
over their trucks and laboring forces
TO the city to meet the storm emer-
gency in the delivery of fuel and food

800, eco RAIL MEN ARE
THREATENING TO STRIKE

Detroit. Feb. THE general chair
man of the Maintenance Of Way En-
ployes and Shop Laborers' union, in
conference yesterday. unanimously APP
proved the proposal TO call a nation
wide strike of its 100000 members If
necessary to enforce demands for
wage increases, and sent word TO Dr.
rector General Hines that action would
be deferred seven days pending the
outcome of the Washington conference.
Should the strike be called, brother
hood officials said, their union would
act independently of the other rail-
road organizations. They added, how
ever that employees in other depart
ments might soon be thrown out of
work If roadbeds were allowed to go
to pieces and the shop forces were
stopped.

Federal Reserve Bank Summary of
Business Conditions for Month
Says Demand for Higher Priced
Goods Slowly Lessening

Washington, Feb. 4.-Results of the
action of the federal reserve system
| in raising discount rates to six per
cent, forcing reduction in outstand-
ing lines of credit, have become evil
dent in the last month, the federal
reserve board announced last night
in summary of business conditions.
Coupled with this Optimistic outlook, "
the board expressed the belief that a
peak in high prices and initiation had
been approached if not reached.
While heavier trade demands were
reported federal reserve agents in re-
porting to the board have pointed to a
shorter lending power"
This was interpreted as indicative
of less easy credit because of dangers
growing out of extravaganza, excess
sive prices and Overtrading."
Another result of the higher dis
count rates was cited in the action of
commercial houses in discouraging eli
ents from extensive borrowings.
The general liquidation of the stock
market was also continued during
January, and, according to the boards
view, the higher discount rates had
forced slowing down in stock activ-
tiles.
Financially, January has been
month of doubt and tension, the sum-
mary said. General business pros
poets appear favorable, but will re-
quire careful disposal of pending finan-
cial and exchange problems. Foreign
trade continues at an abnormally high
level, although heavy reduction is
predicted if the exchange continues at
its present figure
Gratifying changes have come in the
leather and shoe industry within the
last few weeks, reports showed. The
demand for higher cost goods appar-
emily is slowing down rapidly with an
increase for lower grades.
Iron and steel production, the re-
port said, has reached high record
level, but the demand for production
is keeping just ahead of the supply.

AGGRESSIVE BIPARTISAN FIGHT
WILL BE LAUNCHED AT

Friendly to Labor

Washington. Feb. 7.-Plans for the
first nationwide, aggressive political
campaign by organized labor TO con-
troll congress and elect friendly nation
al and state officials have been made

the executive council and department
presidents of the federation, which has
been in session here for two days.
Samuel Gompers, president of the fed

public soon. The committee fOrmulat-

to the general labor conference held
here December 10, to put into effect

accepted at that time.
Representatives in congress whose
organized labor. it was said by mem
bers of the committee, will be opposed
vigorously for reelection, and all new
candidates hostile to labOr's interests
will meet with the same opposition.
Every craft affiliated with the fedora
ton will be called on to join in this
political fight, it was added. and con-
gressional districts will be actively can
vassed and an army of organizers will
be put in the field. The federation now
claims over 100000 members.

an effort would be made TO enlist the |

movement is considered advisable. No |
attempt to reach an agreement will be |

MODIFIED RESERVATIONS
BASIS OF CONSIDERATION
Lodge Will Present Draft to Senate
Republican Leaders Decide to
Take Initiative

Washington Feb. 1.-THE modified
Lodge reservations, agreed on tenta-
lively by the recently abandoned BIZ
partisan committee, most likely will be
the basis on which. consideration of the
peace treaty will be resumed in the
;enate next week.
Republican leaders. after a series
of conferences with their party col
leagues yesterday, decided to take the
initiative on the senate floor in sug-
costing adoption of the bipartisan
committee notifications of the Lodge
reservations. Although it is expect
ed under the decision that the orig
inal Republican reservations will be
attached to the treaty when it is refer
red to the foreign relations commit
tee, it is understood Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts, the Republican leader.
will present the modified draft as
substitute after the committee has re-
ported.
Definite decision as to whether the
Democrats will accept the reservations
with these notifications will not be
reached until the Democrats hold a
conference on the treaty. The gene
raj opinion prevailed, however. that
the changes worked out in the unoffi-
cial committee negotiations would
prove satisfactory to majority of the
Democratic senators.
Acceptance of the bipartisan modifi-
cations by both Republicans and Dem
ocrats was considered as likely to mar
row differences by both Republicans
and Democrats to a few differences
on a few of the prominent issues. In
some quarters it was predicted that
agreement would be reached without
much delay on all but two of the four
Incorporated in the rati-
fication. These two relate to Article
Y. and the Monroe doctrine, on which
leaders assert their de-
termination to accept no modification,
while the Democrats are equally EN-
phatic in their declaration that modifi-
cation will be necessary if the treaty
is to be ratified.

Decadent Nation

Chicago. March ll.-Dr William j.

pathic Laboratory. declared today
shat decadence of the nation can
only result from the ascendency
gained bv women in affairs.
"The women have securedthe drop
on the men in this country" said Or.
Hickson. "The nation has put its
hNud in the noese of Puritanism, and
OF individual and ma
tional ferver Is inevitable"
DIR. Hickson said: Prohibition Is
typical of the modern Puritan mania,
and the church movements are typi-
cal. They. with prohibition, with So
called high standards OF morality, re-
suit IN a deterioration OF masculine
physical and mental virility. There IS
a falling off OF creative ability. The
lowering of the birth rate already is
noticeable. American pep which was
the result OF masculine dominated
country. soon will be n thing OF the
past.
The effemination OF man already Is
noticeable. The man OF today is al
ready inferior in most respects to the
female. He Is aping her in the matter
Of clothes. He bows to her legisla-
tions and vaguely whoops it up for
her reforms. He is fast taking Sec
ond place, and with his fall there is
no question that production in the
United States, mental and material.
will decline"
