NO PROSPECT SEEN
FOR LOWER PRICES
GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL SAYS A
SUDDEN DROP WOULD BE
CAUSE OF HARDSHIPS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-No pros
pect of any considerable fall in prices
for several years to come is seen by
Royal Meeker, commissioner of labor
statistics and head of the bureau
which collects information on the
trend of prices used by the govern
ment in official negotiations concern
ing wages and similar questions. He
recommended monetary unit of val
ue to replace the present units OF
weight.
"People generally are yearning, SO
intently for lower prices that they
have not thought much about the re-
suits of falling prices" Mr.. Meekel
said. "The prices we kicked about In
1918 have come to be regarded as
ideal. Untold distress has been caus,
ed by the rapid price increases OF the
last four years. The sufferings already
endured by the people through rising
prices will be multiplied tenfold Il
prices drop within the next sever
wears to the 1918 level. A period Of
| falling prices is always a time of bus
mess depression, failures and unem
| ployment."

ONLY UNION FISH
CAN Be DEVOURED
"SCAB" MEMBERS OF THE FINNY
TRIBE ALLOWED TO ROT IN
BARRELS IN NORTH.

PHILADELPHIA, PA fish that
can't show union card is having a
hard time reaching a dinner table in
Philadelphia.
Being a union or non-union fish is
entirely a matter of chance. If the
fish is caught by a member of the
Atlantic Fishermen's Union it is, fig
uratively, presented with union label.
Otherwise it earns the appellation of
"scab," and finds its road to the in
evitable pot or pan almost as rocky
as the proverbial road to Dublin.
The charge that union men are try
ing to keep non-union caught fish out
of Philadelphia was made by local fish
dealers.
Started Last Summer.
The trouble is said to have started
last summer, when Robert Jackson
a New England fisherman, refused tc
take union men on his boats. Others
took a similar stand, and the Massa
chusetts Fishermen's Union was or
gained. In retaliation, it is said, un
ion fish handlers and truckmen were
ordered not to touch Jackson's catch
es. AS result, it is said, barrels are
allowed to rot, while dealers have
been unable to get them.
According to the reports we get
some of this fish was shipped to New
York. When the shippers found GU
that the union men &ere would no
handle it they consigned it to Phila
delphia. But union men there are do
ing everything possible to delay it, s.
that it will be unfit for use when
arrives here. Some fish ordered from
Nantucket was shipped back to Bos
ton and then down here.
There has been persistent re
port that union fishers down east an
| in New York have been keeping tis
out of Philadelphia.

UP FOR PRESENT
FEDERAL. OFFICIALS WISH TO
FIRST COMPLETE EXPERIMENT
WITH THE SOVIET ARK.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-No furth-
er deportation of radical aliens will
be undertaken until the experiment
with the transport, Buford, the first
''soviet" ark" is completed, it was
said by Anthony Caminetti, COM
missioner general of immigration.
The Buford is now en- route to
northern Europe with 249 radical
.aEens destined for Russia, but wheth-
Ter she will be permitted to land her
passengers has not yet been deter
mined. 1t is not possible for the ship
to go to soviet Russia and if the rad.
icals are sent into that country they
must be transported across one OF the
! adjacent countries.
The nearly 5000 radical aliens ia
ken in the raids of the last few day
will be tried by the department OF la
Dor in the districts in which they weri
arrested and those ordered deportea
win be sent to New York.
Mr.. Caminetti said that should ne
cessity require the use of additional
space at New York or in the districts
to house the radicals awaiting depor
tation steps will be taken to secure
camps pr other Facilities from the wal
OF other departm ents that might have
suitable accommodations. He added
however, that as additional stations
would cause extra expense he believ
ed congress would grant the money

The spring hat is here and is being

summer headgear in the winter and
heavy hats in the summer is a prac-

Christmas time is really becoming the
turning point from winter to spring
as far as the extremely fashionable
women are concerned.
The hats are so attractive, how
ever, that if the necessarily large
pocketbook is filled it is a great
temptation to reduce the amount in
side by a large round figure. Women
are spending money for hats IN way
that surprises even the store buyers
of millinery. -,

money is being spent this early in the

cause they represent the exclusive
models at this time of year, but there
seems to be no hesitancy on the part
of women to pay the price. we sell
the hats as fast as we receive them"
Blue Straw Is Popular.
