 DOWN PRICES IN
 LAWRENCE TEST
Shop He Opened at Wool1en Mills Forces Retailers to Make Cuts for Every
 body.

Lawrence, Mass, March 2-In op- eration on small scale only for five weeks, the cooperative departmen ent store established by President William M. Wood of the American Woolen Go. for the benefit of his 15.00O opera tives here has reduced the cost of liv- ing for them and incidentally others in this city.
 When carloads of canned goods, vegetables and apparel, including shoes and gloves, began to arrive, price lists were distributed through the big textile plants here and all the supplies were subscribed for quickly, as the prices were much lower than the retailers asked.
 So eagerly did the workers buy that ten-story building had to be utilized to house the supplies. It is nearly empty again. but consignments on the way will permit the manage | ment to go ahead on a more extensive l scale.
 The general public cannot buy from MT. Woods store, but his experim ent is causing a big redufctfon in the prices of other merchants. Here is a comparison of prices in the retail l stores in December and today: | Women's suits S50-$S5 S25.Oo Plush coats 40- 50 29.5O | Womens silk
 dresses s5 25Oo Mems suits 50- 50 1SO0- $500 | Shoes, a pair g. 16 800 1000 Round steak that is 25-23 cents a pound was 4o-50; SirIoin steak 25-41 1 cents, was 55-60 cents; lamb chops | 30 cents, were 3S; fresh eggs, 69 cents a dozen, were 95; beef to stew | 15 cents, wwas 20 cents; Hamburg 1 steak, 19 cents, was 2s. | The best grades of canned pears
 peaches, tomatoes, peas, beans and 1 the like, are offered to the Wood en-
 ployes at II cents; the retail mer- | chants ask 80 cents. Potatoes, bring
 ing 75 cents a peck in the retail stores

Passengers say there was no panic.
The cause of the trouble is not quite
clear as yet, though it is known there
was a considerable ash discharge in
the stokehold. Several saloon passen-

ceived anonymous warnings not to
sail on the ship. The engineer staff
