Labor Department Officials
Optimistic on H. c. L.
And Coal Strike.

The peak Of high prices was
reached about the middle Of last
July, and since that time the cost of
most staple commodities has declin-
ed steadily, according TO officials Of
the Department of Labor yesterday.
Important among the reductions
were those in the wholesale and re-
tail prices of -four, sugar. meat, and
clothing which average approx
mately { per cent.
1t was confidently predicted that
during the coming six months prices
will fall to lower levels than have
been known since early in the war
The clothing business especially is
said to be lettering on its toes"
Hugh Kerwin, conciliator of the
Department of Labor. stated yester-
day that the anthracite strike is
practically a closed issue. Most of
the miners have returned to work,
he says. and the rest cannot remain
out much longer. While a tenn
porary shortage Of anthracite coal
is expected to result, the price, IT
was stated, will not be seriously af-
fected, and it is hoped that the
shortage will be made good before
winter sets in.

the rate Of room and board would

Several imprOmptu meetings yes

Miss Emily Clark. president Of

said she believed the girls would
not take definite action as they had
thrsatened to do Thursday night
when the notice was sent to the

going to submit quietly to the in

PostoHce May Lose Home
In Southern Building from
Fight Ouer .Munsey Lease

The new central postofice, estab-
lished in the former quarters of the
Munsey Trust Company In the
Southern Building, Fifteenth and II
streets northwest, now is involved
in the lease fight between the
Southern Realty Corporation and
the Mtnsey Company. Steps taken
yesterday may result in the removal
of the postoffice from the Southern
Building. ....
Twelve hours after Postmaster NJ.
o. Chance had sublet the quarters
from the Munsey Company the post
office was open for business. Twelve
hours later the postmaster was in.
formed by the Southern Realty Cor
poration, which originally leased
the premises to the Munsey Trust
Company, that the postoffice lease
would not be recognized.
The new branch postoffice was
well patronized yesterday and its
establishment was commended by
downtown merchants, who profit by
the expedited delivery seRice made
possible by routing postmen from
the branch station rather than the
city postofice.
Claims Right to SubIet.
c. T. Willis, manager of the Mum
sey Building and representative for
the Munsey Trust Company in the
latter's lease of its former quarters
in the Southern Building, said last
night he knew of no protest on the
part of the Southern Realty Corpo-
ration other than the original suit
The Washington herald., 1920-09-19

recently filed in the courts. The
Munsey Company claims the right
to sublet the quarters, he said,
The Southern Realty Corporation.
through its lawyer, John Lewis
Smith, yesterday sent n letter to
Postmaster Chance informing him
that the presence of the postoftice
was in violation of its lease to the
Munsey Company. inasmuch as its
lease to the Munsey Company pro-
vided the quarters were not to be
sublet.
1t is understood the Southern
Realty Corporation has offered to
relieve the Munsey Company of the
original lease, since the Munsey
Trust Company now occupies quar-
ters in the Munsey Building. The
Munsey Company, according to the
Southern Realty Corporation. will
not give up its lease and insists
upon subletting.
The Southern Realty Corporation,
according to Smith, will ask for
court order denying the premises
to the postoffice occupancy and will
make the action of the Munsey
Trust Company in subletting to the
postoffice the basis of petition sup
Elementary to its original suit
against the Munsey Company.
The installation of the postoffice
in the building Thursday night, be-
tween Z and ~ p. m. according to
Smith. was without knowledge or
consent of the Southern Realty
Corporation.

Grip on Fame as Worlds
Thoroughfare of Sensations

Pearl streets is the location of the
birth of life insurance business in
America-an enterprise brought to
Wall Street by Morris Robinson, a
Scotchman from Canada. Nearby Is
the site of the very house where
Capt. Kidd resided for a time.
Further on is the Tontine Building,
reminiscent of the Tontine Coffee
House.
Now let us start back from Pearl
street on the south side of Wall
street. First we come upon the
offices of the American Sugar Rein
ing Company. The Sugar Trust"

including the old Baltimore firm of
Brown Brothers and Company. Next
is the National City Bank and the

the great fire of 1895.
A Notable Block.
In the block between William
street and Broad street before reach
ing the Morgan Building we have
the U. S. Trust Company and the
equitable trust company, whose
president, Alvin W. Kroch, was cut
by glass from the bomb explosion
while seated at his desk. During
the panic of 1907 the same offices,
then the Trust Company of North
America, was storm center
Now we have reached what is
probably the most widely known
bank in the world-J. p. Morgan &
Co. 1t is a low, attention-gripping
building of classic outline. The
structure is new, but this afternoon
it looked as If it had been machines

Directly across Broad street is

All Marked by Blast.
All of the group were marked and
niCked by the crash of glass and
flying debris. Office buildings dot
the south side of Wall street be-
tween Broad and Broadway. All
had their windows blown out.
You can walk Wall street from

New York. Sept. 1S.-Of the
streets of New York, Wall Street is
by long odds the most famous. Its
diminutiye size does not detract
from its Importance as the greatest
of all financial centers.
The street has physical dignity,
for both of its sides are lined with
buildings of the most costly and
compelling grandeur. We shall en-
ter from it's mouth at Broadway.
At No. is the First National Bank.
This grim edifiCe still called Fort
Sherman" because of the part it
played in the resumption of specie
payments when John Sherman was
Secretary of the Treasury. Next
door we have the Schermerhorn
Building, owned by the Astor estate,
which in the days passed into slum-
ber. was the site of the old first
Presbyterian meeting house where
Jonathan Edwards preached.
Bank on Tavern Site,
On the corner of Nassau street
rises the well-known Bankers
Trust Co. which occupies the exact
location of John Simmons tavern
which was frequented by Henry
Brevoort and Washington Irving.
Jumping to Nassau street we have
a view of the u. S. Subtreasury,
with the massive bronze replica
of George Washington in the center
of the steps. Here once stood the
first city hall built by the British
in 1899. The new building that
rose in its place is now filled with
the gold of London and Paris, aC-
cumulated during the great war.
Site of Old Assay once.
Adjoining the Subtreasury is the
site of the famous assay office.
1t used to be the New York branch
of the Bank of the United States
until "Old Hickory Jackson sue
ceeded in killing the institution
and brought a panic on the country
in so doing.
The next building has been oc-
cupied for l20 years by the Man
haitian Company which purchased
the plot in 1893.
Next along Wall street are four
century old banks-the Bank of New
York. the Bank of Manhattan, the
Merchants Bank, and the Bank of
America. Tho first was organized
by Alexander Hamilton and the sec
ond by Aaaon Burr.

LittIe-Girl and the Rain Babies

"Oh dear, it is raining" said Little-G Girl as she sat up in her downy white bed with the blue coverlet on which little maids were dancing along the border.
 Little-Girl sighed. She had in- tended to go over to see Big-Boy-on- he-Other-Side-of- -the-Fence. Big Boy had told her that would trans rlant tomatoes that day. And now the Rain Babies were pity batting against her window-pane at a great rate. They were very cheerful little rain-drops. They made a merry tinkling sound as if they were whispering to one another, and then they would break out in perfect gale of laughter, and laugh and laugh until they were washed away in a flood of rollicking tears. Little Girl lay back among her pillows. It was very warm and cosy in the little blue and white bed. Soon, lulled by the tinkle of the rain on the pain, she drifted off into last minute nap. And then
 "Now," said the Dictionary Man, We are going to plant a most won derful fower-a wonderful flower. Hold the stem, Madame Garden Manual, while Big-Boy shovels in the earth"
 Little-Girl thought it was all very strange, for she was standing in the middle of a small hole in the ground, and the little Elf Man was swinging on a moss rose bud that was just about to open into pink and beautiful bloom. Bobtail was running around in circles, and Ma dame Garden Manual was holding open her rustling leaves, and saying in tiny, high voice-"This is the way, press the earth down firm you will find the directions in my valuable pages-press the earth down firm" And Little-Girl felt a weight on her feet, and thought
