Europe, was quoted as having said
that "unless the allied and associated
governments provide credits for food

likely to become a desolate waste OF

tinued:
England cannot do anything likely

Spanish Kings First
Smoke Made Him Sick
(London Tit-Bits)

King Alfonso has been telling the
story Of his first ciga rette.
The incident, it appears, occurred
Immediately after he had been form
ally enthroned as king of Spain on
attaining his majority on his sixteenth
birthday.
Up till that time he had not beer al
lowed to smoke. nor even then was the
prohibition withdrawn. Nevertheless
he came to the conclusion that, as a
ruling monarch, he might at least do
as he liked in this respect.
Accordingly he asked his brother.
in-law, the prince of the Austrias, for
a cigarette.
81 haven't got one" said the prince
faithful to family orders.
Then the king applied to the officer
of the guard, who said solemnly:
81 regret that l do not smoke them
your majesty"
At last the young king made his
way to the sentry at the palace door
who anna bly, produced plug of black
tobacco from his trousers pocket and
rolled cigarette for his majesty, who
smoked it proudly through the palace
at made me violently sick later on, ,
he said in telling the story; but l en-
joyed it at the time. / felt, as I puff
fed and puffed, that l was really and
truly grown up at last"

BUSINESS ANXIOUS
ABOUT INCREASED
COST SAYS REPORT

WASHINGTON, Jan. /. - General
anxiety prevails throughout American
business concerning the continued adj
vance in prices and readjustment ap-
pears imminent, the Federal reserve
board reported last night In its re-
view of December business conditions.
Through the boards statement the in
ference was strongly given that re-
duction in prices is due because of
recognized curtailment of buying pow
er coupled with lack of unanimity
of opinion as to what the future holds.
While retail trade shows great ac-
tivity and wholesalers and manufac-
turers were represented as being UNI
able to supply the demand, the great
growth in business was shown to have
been terms of dollars and not in units
of production. High wages for labor
further complicated the situation, &C
cording to the boards view. Prac-
tically every Federal reserve district
reported that skilled labor was work
ing only sufficient days to keep going"
with consequent falling off in pro-
duct1nO as a result.
Manufacturers Cautious.
In face of the heavy demands, eau
tious manufacturers were described as
ulSlHCllueu 10 COulHllC themselves lar
in advance. Credits have been short
ened and uncertainty as to changes
which may come within the next three
months is forestalling the expansion
In trade naturally to be expected as
the nation gets back more nearly to
its peacetime activity. The high cost
of living was referred to as an "un-
questionable menace"
The board noted that real estate val
ues in hundreds of communities seem
to have reached the peak. or at least
the rise has been checked This was
said to be particularly true of the Chi
cago district. With the stoppaCe in
the rise of real estate values, building
operations are expected to be stimu-
lated.
The housing situation was said to
have reached critical stage in the
territory west of the Mississippi Riv-
err. resulting in an increase in rents.
Relief was expressed that the COM
bination of anticipated greater returns
on investments with a probable drop
in raw site values would bring new
construction and thus relieve tenants.
Grain Shipments Low.
Grain shipments were unusually low
during the month, partly because of
the fuel shortage and the consequent
reduction of warehouse accommodate

grain and, Federal reserve agents
said, there has been the utmost diff

SAMUEL GOMPERS
DECLARES LABOR
TRULY AMERICAN

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. - Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, in a New Year
statement, pledged Americas workers
to do their full share in working out
the country's problems Of 1920. Mr..
GomperS said:
"America's workers stand ready in
the new year, as in the past, to do
their full duty as American citizens.
We have always placed our obligations
as citizens above all else. AS citizens
we are true to the American ideal of
equal opportunity for all.
I'm the past we have found it neces-
sary to fight for that ideal against
agencies that sought to establish spe.
cial privilege. Those fights have not
been in defense Of class advantages,
but to assure to wage earners the
rights and opportunities that all should
possess. Our struggles may have
brought discomfort to others, but they
prevented greater Standardization
of the virility Of a part of the ma
ton.
Fought for Freedom.
THE great struggle of labor in the
past has been to assure to workers in
| their industrial relations the rights OF
| free citizens. We have fought to give
the ideal of America dominating in.
fluence in the shops and factories. Our
military struggle has won general rec
ognition for our demands. But our
work is not all militant. We are in a
| position to contribute to the improve
ment of production processes and Or
ganization.
| "The immediate problem Of the
world is to develop a production or
ganization that will benefit directly
those who are the real producers and
will also serve the needs of starving
nations. When assured of just deal
ings, Americas workers are able to co
operate in freeing production from the
preventing grasp Of spectators and in
fluences that manipulate industry to
enrich few who gain unfair advant
age, thus preventing production for the
benefit of all.
"This is a big job, but it is essen
tial for well-grounded development in
the years to came. 1t is essential tC
that ideal which is America-equal OPP
portunity for all. Americas workers
will do their full share in working out
all our country's problems.
Hail TO the new year 1920! May il
bring freedom, glory, and happiness to
all our people"
