N. Y. UNION OF $4,000
WILL NOT AID RED CROSS
First Wants Organization to do
It's Duty by Ireland"
Says Resolution.

NEW YORK. November 13.-The
Central Federated Union, at it's week.
~ meeting last night. voted unani-
mously to ignore an appeal for aid
from the American Red Cross, after
John Sullivan. treasurer of the union,
and other speakers had urged the
delegates to withhold their support
until the organization docs it's duty
by Ireland"
A letter from Miss Elizabeth A. Gull
len, associate director of the Red
Cross. describing it's membership en-
rollment campaign, and asking the
support Of the $4,000 men represent
ed by the union. was Kissed. Letters
received by delegates from friends in
Ireland telling of conditions there
were read to the delegates. who there
upon voted against extending assist
ance to the Red Cross.
Sullivan stirred the gathering when
he said: II think it is the sentiment
of this body. as well as the sentiment
generally among the 100000 or more
union men in this city. that no aid
shall be extended to the Red Cross
until that organization does it's duty
by Ireland. We have read reports OF
how they have aided the distressed
people of Armenia. destitute people
of Czechoslovakia. and the starving
inhabitants of Jugoslavia, but we have
not read a line about their aiding the
wounded and sick in Ireland"

Children Invite Accidents.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Apropos of recent articles about
reducing the number of motor ac-
cidents it can well be said that
children on roller skates, wagons,
scooters and various kinds of toy We
hicles playing in the streets are jeop-
ardizing their lives and are a source of
annoyance to the motorist.
Especially is this true on 18th street
at Florida avenue. where I have OBJ
served a number of children coasting
down hill at a hazardous rate. appar-
emily oblivious to any impending dam
ger.
On Pennsylvania avenue in front of
the White House, at an hour of great
CONGESTION. a boy with laundry on the
front of his elongated wagon was kneel-
ing on the rear of it with his left leg
and propeling it with his right He did
not hug the curb, but thoughtlessly
sailed gayly along near the car tracks,
defying every passing motorist
Another evidence of careleSsness was
displayed on 18th street, just over the
crest of the hill. A lad was pushing a
little wagon and hopping on at intervals
right in front Of the automobile in which
I was riding when a wheel of his wagon
struck stone and he suddenly rolled
off and fell on his back. Had it not
been for alertness Of the chauffeur, who
quickly stopped the motor. within few
inches of the PROSTATE boy. serious ac-
cident and possible death would have
resulted. BETTY BURTON.

ID. c. BREAD PRICE
TO STAND, IS CLAIM
Bakers Stocked Up With
High Cost Flour and Sugar,
Alleged Reason.

No reduction in the price of bread
near future. according to several local
bakers. Although flour has dropped
in price and sugar as well. the bakers
say the public cannot now profit by
this through drop in the price of
bread. The reason is that the local
bakers stocked up some time ago on
large quantities of flour and sugar.
when the prices were high. and, as
most of this stock is still on hand.
they must maintain the same prices
in order not to lose money.
Acted on HOOver's Advice.
To the advice of Herbert Hoover,
former United States food admins
traitor. is attributed one reason why
the price of bread is not being re-
duced at this time The manager of
today stated that at convention at
Atlantic City several months ago Mr..
Hoover delivered an address. in which
he is said to have urged the bakers
to buy their flour and sugar then, as
he said there would be no drop in
was stated. more than 100000 bar
rels of flour were purchased by bak-
ers who attended the convention. The
prevailing price at that time was
$3.50 per barrel. The price Of -four
today is $40 and $1,000 per barrel
1t is expected that as soon as the
present stock on hand i'm the local
bakeries is consumed the price of
bread will be reduced. "A manager of
one of the bakeries, however, said he
did not believe there would be a re-
duction before the first of the year,
as there is so much flour on hand.
Price Reduction In New York.
A dispatch from New York city to-
day stated one of the largest bakeries
there had reduced the price of breaed
from 10 cents to 9 cents per loaf. 1t
is also explained that the reason for
it was that the old stock. which had
been purchased three months ago. had
been consumed and new stock pur-
chased at a much lDwer figure.
