'YANKS GET ENGLISH
ORDERS FOR Steel
American Manufacturers Are
Prospecting Since British Mine
Strike Was Started.

LONDON. Nov. 13.--"American COM
panies are 1ubiiant at the steel or
ders they have just taken Inc Eng
land"
This was the statment made by A.
J. /Hobson, president of the British
Associated Chambers OF Commerce. at
a meeting of the British Commercial
Gas Association held recently In Shelf
leld. " ~
Mr.. Hobson has just returned from
America and he took the opportunity
OF the association meeting to warn
his feliow-countrymen OF the menace
OF American competition.
"The American manufacturers are
breaking into quite new trades In this
country" added Hobson. For the
first time they have taken large or
ders for colliery winding ropes for
English pits. This has been brought
about by the action of the miners IN
demanding a price for coal swhfch
made It Impossible to make these
ropes In England. tr- :
.Not only was the gas industry be-
ing lifted to an abnormal level OF
price for the same reason. but SO
were other British industries and the
result was going to DO very detri-
mental to the commerce OF the MAJ

"Up to now the price Of coal hns
not much mattered to the steel in
dustry because, owing to thet famine
OF supplies throughout the world the
price hns been passed on as part OF
the price OF steel" declared Hobson.
THAT has ceased to be the case, and
the great steel industry of; England
will have q desperately; bad time be-

not bring about some modification In

MALT AND HOPS0.K,
SAY DRY OFFICIALS
Ban Expected Here Shortly,
However, on Canned Combina-
tons of Products.

Malt and hops prepared by the In
ternal Revenue Bureau, according TO
directions given away with them to
purchasers have produced a beer that
contains less than one-half of 1 per
cent alcohol, 1t was learned today. 1t
was only by adding other ingredients,
officials said, that a beer of more
than the legal amount of alcohol was
produced.
A new regulation the Internal Rev.
enue Bureau is considering is aimed
at canned brew ingredients, and not
the sale of malt and hops separately,
according to officials of the Prohibi-
ton Unit.
Richard :. Dodson, prohibition di-
rector OF the Maryland-District of
Columbia division, located in Balti-
more received orders last Tuesday
forbidding the sale Of canned combi-
nation OF malt and hops. which
showed that they were intended for
making beer. Under the new order
the canned combination will not be
sold to any one except bakers and
confectioners. The sale of the combi-
nations Is said to have been contrary
to law from the beginning, 1t Is said.
Their sale has reached such prspor.
lions II was deemed advisable to call
a halt
The local prohibition office, how
ever has not received orders to stop
the sale OF the canned combinations
but they are expected any day. II
any one in Washington wants to buy
malt, hops or barley, there is no law
to prevent them. II was said at prohi.
Ditto headquarters today.
Dealers in the combination canned
malt and hops reported a big sale OF
these commodities yesterday.

man in Purchases From
Farmers.

Senator, Albert B. Cumuins, OF
Iowa, chairman OF the Senate Inter
state Commerce Committee. who has
arrived in Washington for the ses-
sion, declared efforts will be made to
work out a law for a real marketing
system.
"Such a law is sought by the farm
ers of the country and they are clear
ly entitled to it," said Senator Cum
Minis.
He is anxious to have the question
taken up by the Interstate Commerce
Committee this session, If possible.
From all over the agricultural sec
tions Of the United States there are
coming demands for the establish
ment Of q great system of marketing
which will take the farmers, live
stock men, and consumers out from
interests which are now mulcting
both producers and consumers.
Senator Cummins, as the chief au.
thor. of the Cummin ms Esch railroad
law, was the objective of q bitter
fight in his State this year when he
came up for reelection. He was op-
posed in the primaries and in the pre-
election campaign. However, he was
reelected by a majority Of FOG, 900
over Claude r. Porter, counsel for
the trade commission, who ran on the

ORGANIZATION PLAN
O|SSAT|SF|ES HOUSE
Many Democrats Oppose Kitch.
in, While Certain Republicans
Seek New Speaker.

Murmurs OF dissatisfaction sit
heard about the House of Representa-
tives, Oh both the Democratic and
Republican sides, over prospective
plans for organizing the new Con-
gress.
Among the Democrats there is dis
satisfaction over the prospective Sc
lection of Representative Claude
Kitchin as minority leader.
Among the Republicans there is
talk of efforts to elect someone else
to the Speakership in the place OF
Gillett Of Massachusetts,.
With respect to Kitchin, talk OF
opposition to him for leader proceeds
from Democrats who say that in the
new Congress the Demoscrats will be
in particular need of vigorous lead
ership. Mr.. Kitchin. rs is well
known. is a strong debater. but since
his health failed him about a year
ago. he has not been In shape to do
such fiRhting as he used to do in his
younger days.
Representative Garner of Texas,
who will be the ranking Democrat on
WAYS and Means, Is talked Of for
minority leader in place OF Mr.. Kitch-
In, It is the intention OF Mr.. Kitchin
to give up the Ways and Means chair
manship.
In spite Of the murmurings and
nutterings, It Is unlikely that enough
opposition can be mustered to dis
place Mr.. Kitchin IL his health con-
tinues reasonably good.
As to Speaker Gillett, the Opposi'
ton to him is unorganized. A num-
her of Western Republicans would
prefer a Western man. Some talk ~
heard Of Theodore f. Burton making
the race for Speaker.
Mr.. Gillett has the advantage OF
having the support Of most of the
House organization. and II Ia prob
able that in the end the opposition to
him will not assert itself strongly
enough to make him serious trouble.
some Of the friends of Jim" Mann
would still like to SEQ him Speaker
and there IL mention, too. of Repre-
sentative Martin Il. Madden of ILL.,
nois. who. like Mr.. Mann, is a veteran
of the House.

Several Wounded When 'BIack

Creamery.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-two civilians
were killed and several wounded
when q squad of "Black and Tans'
fred on "a group Of men working IN
a creamery at Cork, according to q
Central News dispatch from that city
early today. L.: -
CORK, Nov. 13.-Yielding only re-
to the order Of their supreme
chief, the nine hunger striking prison
ers in Cork prison continued TO-DAY 10
try to accustom themselves to the
thought that they are to live instead
of dying martyrs deaths for Ireland.
All of them were lowering in the
twilight between conscious life and
oblivion when the order from Arthur
Griffith, acting President of the Irish
Republic, to end their ninety-four
days fast reached them yesterday.
With some Of them II was believed
to be merely a matter of hours before
they would share the fate of their
two fellow prisoners. Michael Fftz-
gerald and Joseph Murphy. who
starved to death in the same gaol.
When they received Griffith's let
ter yesterday they arst refused, but
finally capitulated, moved by the APP
peals and arguments of their friends,
who told them they could serve their
country better alive Than dead.
-Moving scenes were witnessed out
side the prison gates when word was
passed that the nine men had de-
cided to take their first nourishment
in more than three months.
Relatives and sympathizers who
had held vigil there fell on their
knees and prayed aloud. offering
thanks that the prisoners lives were
to be spared after all.

EMPLOYMENT DECREAsEs.

Cancellations continue to be a
strong factor in lowering ths~rate Of
output in various channels and are
most prominent in the iron and steel
industry. Production returns all in

orders are filled and are. not replaced
by contracts OF any great magnitude.
With the repression OF manufacture

employment Is decreasing In many
directions. This tends to automatic
