Berlin, Nov. 12.-Gradually increas
ing prices for food in Berlin have caus-
ed q corresponding increase in. the de-
mands Of workmen for higher wages
and strikes, or the threats Of strikes,
hang oyer virtually every business in
the city. &
Approximately 100000 persons are
reported unemployed in Germany, the
majority Of, them IN reduced circum-
stances, some facing starvation. Four
months ago 284,181 women were seek
ing employment, according to the la
Dor mtnistry's estimate, and 1t was an
nounced 500, 900 persons shortly would,
be out Of work or IN short-time, the
latter being unable to earn enough to
support themselves.
Nearly every Municipality in Ger
many is occupied with the problem of
providing work for unemployed and
adjusting wage difficulties, in an eff
fort to forestall the spread of strikes
and further discomfort. "A
Shops Well Stocked.
The meat shops Of Berlin are well
stocked with choice cuts and have
large supplies of imported cheese, oils.
pickles and other viands but, as win
ter advances. prices continue to go up
and sales fall OFF. With nothing saved
from summer wages, workmen are
facing the problem of expenditures for
fuel for heat and warm clothes in ad-
dition to food and the fact that the
pay Of many falls short Of meeting
these expenses has caused a spread Of
unrest. ;.s} s--
Sporadic strikes already have oc-
Cured, not only in Berlin but also in
the provinces and, while there has
been no. evidence that q general strike
is probable, the situation is causing
state and municipal governments
much concern.
Proprietors of food shops say prices
are higher thah>they were q year ago
when nothing was being imported be-
cause a vigtlant watch is kept on
smuggling and import duties, now be-
ing paid, are necessarily added to the
retail price Of commodities. AS a re-
suit they say only the well-to-do and
foreigners are able to buy imported
btuffs. -

quantities. They are gathered be-

They live buried in sand, and no lit

to capture them, SO rapid are they in
their movements. When frightened
the razor clam protrudes its foot
downward, expands it and jerks itself
deeper. At each jerk 1t goes down
couple of inches. and SO is quickly
out of reach.
