ments attitude was announced
here tonight by Attorney General

tice on all retail meat dealers have
been sent to every United States
district attorney he said.
For three months the whole
sale price of meat has been fan
ing" said Mr., Palmer. THE re-
tail dealers have claimed that their
supplies were old stock purchased
at the higher prices. The old
stocks should be exhausted by this
time, and unless the price to the
consumer comes down we will have
to look into the question of the
dealers profits"
The attorney general also an
nounced that the terms of the
agreement for the dissolution of
the allied interests of the five big
Chicago packers had been settled
and would be filed in federal court

sation of foreign trade as result
Of the adverse exchange situation.
Wholesale meat prices at the Chi

that the recent attack on Field

London, Feb. ga number of
military men and others, who dur
ing the past two years have been
engaged in official duties in Rus

mier Lloyd George, advocating rec

The signatories include Lieut..

British military agent in the Cau-

commanded a brigade at Muir

They contend that simple trading
with the cooperative unions is not

is becoming clearer daily that the

New York, Feb. 22.-Assistance
to girl workers in solving housing
problems and in finding recreation
is to be continued by the Young
Women's Christian association on
war scale, it is announced in the
annual report of the association 5
war work council. The safeguard
ing of health and the maintenance
of morale of girls in industrial CEN
ters have become part of the re-
construction program.
Six new centers have recently
been opened in isolated regions
where special industrial problems
for women must be met-in mill
villages of the south, mining towns
of Ohio and West Virginia and
among canning and fish packing
industries of the Pacific coast,
Service centers have been opened
in eight cities with large industrial
populations-Ric Va; New
Orleans, Cincinnati, Minneapolis,
Pittsburgh, Worcester, Mass. 5.
Louis and Chicago. In the last fiji
teen months 100000 girls have en-
rolled in these cities as members of
industrial clubs or have been as
sisted in housing, cafeteria service,
education and recreation.
Particular attention is being given
to the women's housing problem in
Washington, where during the war
100000 women were employed. The
number has already increased to
I 103,06 and seems likely to be l25y-
| 600 before the year is over because
| of the additional force required for
| the census. A large recreation
building and a hotel for 400 girls
are planned.
Work for negro girls is under
way in ten domestic fields of the
association. Assistance to foreign
born women is being given by fif-
| ty-one international institute CEN
ters, with workers speaking thirty
| five languages. The work is in line
with that done in the war, such as
| translations, home service, for fam
lilies of soldiers, and allaying of
rumors that caused excitement
among foreigners who did not un-
derstand the true conditions. Work
for foreigners in small industrial
| towns and agricultural communI-
| ties is under way in four states.
Describing the war work of the
council, the reports tell of thirty
four vacation camps in twenty
states where about 10000 girl
workers obtained rest and recrea-
| tion. Lectures on social hygiene
were given in communities sur
| ropp 6ipor aaptpoponntC IN q total of
1,593,303 women and girls. Dor
mitories were built for girl workers
connected with a number Of cam
tonments.
The association maintained 124
hostess houses in this city for wo-
men relatives or friends who were
visiting soldiers and sailors at
camps or shore stations. Many
hostess houses acted as hospitals
during the influenza epidemic.

Atlantic City, n. j., Feb. 22.--
Governor Edwards, of New Jer-
sey, announced his intention of
going to the national democrat
ic convention at San Francisco
prepared to fight for an anti
prohibition plank in the party
platform. He criticised William
Jennings Bryan, whom he de-
signated "a man without a
state" and declared that he had
no fear that Mr.. Bryan VIII
seriously injure the party should
the convention take an anti
prohibition stand. Governor
Edwards said he was convinced
that both parties must face the
prohibition issue as the liveliest
that will come before the ma

not a matter of liquor: it's

Washington, Feb. 22.- Final

But having come through the

measure, the general opinion
among senators tonight was that
no serious opposition would de-
velop and that the law under which
the roads will attempt to work out
their own salvation after the long
period Of federal control would be
i'm the hands of the president by
the middle of the week.
AS is always the case with i'm
portant legislation, there was wide
discussion today over the possibil-
ity of the wrecking of the bill by
a presidential veto. At the same
time there was considerable inter
est in the meeting here tomorrow
Of the general committeeman of all
the railway labor organizations to
discuss the. presidents proposal for
settlement of wage grievances. The
date of the conference had no di-
rect bearing on the plan of Sena
tor Cummins for calling up the
railroad bill. Organized labor
made its fight in the house, with
varying success, according to the
Individual view of members. While
there still was much talk about
further efforts. designed to reach
the senate, there were no indica-
tions that organized labor hoped to
sway the senate to the point of
defeating all railroad legislation.
Few members of the senate or
house were willing to go so far as
to predict that the bill might be
vetoed.
There was no doubt that the big
democratic vote cast against the
bill in the house was a surprise to
republican leaders and even to
many democrats, who had preach
ed that in framing railway reor-
Ganization legislation partisanship
should not figure.
When the conference report is
presented to the senate tomorrow
Senator Cummins. chairman of the
conferees, will make brief state
ment and urge prompt consldera-
tiOn.

position from enlisted men and a
disturbance arose, described by
Captain William Elmer Hause, OF
the First infantry, speaking for
Major Cowles, commanding officer
as IAN incipient riot" More guards
were ordered out and a number OF
enlisted men were placed in con-
finement, according to a statement
issued by Captain Hause.
Two score enlisted men met the
guard when attempt was made to
arrest the alleged leader of the dis
turbance and declared he could not
be removed from the ward. Quiet
was restored following the confine-
ment of the spokesmen.
Captain House, in explaining the
affair Saturday night, said that all
Red Cross entertainments were un-

army officers have no hand what
ever in seating arrangements. Ma
ior York, he said asked the enlist
ed men who occupied seats reserved
for nurses and officers to vacate
the seats as was customary, and
they refused. Major York then,
Captain House said, called out the
guard and had the men removed,
The actors witnessed the removal
of the men and refused to go on
with the performance.
Captain House said that because
the majority of the soldiers at the
hospital are patients. officers can
not enforce the same rules of dis
cipline which prevail at army posts
This fact, he continued, opens the
way for "a few men with a spirit
of hoodlumism to start agitation
over almost anything"
He said that the recalcitrant en-
listed men did not represent the

The Longacre Picnic

a. though summer picnics were done
every year. You could all get the
day now and agree to meet in Nor
tons Grove. Your mothers would like
day on too and they could easily
telephone around and arrange about
the baskets and everything when the
time comes"
The children thought that was
marvellous idea and the few mothers
who were In attendance seemed to like
II every bit as well as the little folks.
so Wednesday Of the last week in July
was chosen then and there. ard every
body went away happy knowing that
for at least one day during the long
summer. they would all be together
again.
As the day drew nearer and nearer
the children got so crazy for that pic
mic they could hardly wait-and you
couldn't blame them either. for it was
going TO be such good fun. And then
suddenly. Alice Relland. who was
fourth grader and always thinking up
clever thirgs to- do. had an idea.
| Instead Of just playing around as
folks usually do at picnics." she tele-
phoned her chum. why don't we
plan races and contests and have a
program so that everybody can get a
prize or do stunt or something"
"Fine!" answered Jane. but prizes
cost money-where can we get any?''

twins were to say it.
The three stood up in front Of the
crowd ready to begin and-for the life
Of her Jane couldn't think of a single
word. She had thought of the idea.
she had written the verses and now
at the critical moment every word left
her mind She stood there with the
twins for one long horrible minute.
Then Jimmie Orland. who fortunately
had been drilled so carefully that he
knew her part as well as his own. be-
gan the first verse. AS soon as he
spoke the whole thing popped back
into James head and she spoke with
him:
Who helps us when we work or play?
Who hears our lesson every day?
Who loves US when we start llfes
way?"
And then all three together an
swered. Our teacher"
OF course. there was applause and
no one paid any attention to the mo-
ment's forgetfulness that SO nearly
spoiled the effect. so Jane and the
twins were happy after all.
After some quiet games and lots OF
visiting all the young folks had "a
