window was forced open.

Says Ex-Agents of
Alien Custodian Are
Seeking Dye Retainers

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Former
agents of the alien property Gus
todian are now in Germany trying to
get retainers from German dye
companies seeking American bust
ness, H. o. Metz, New York dye
maker declared today in resuming
his opposition to the proposed dye
embargo before the senate finance
committee.
"These same men, Mr.. Metz
charged, helped to loot the very
German companies they now seek re-
tainers from, while they were dol
lar year men with the property
custodian"
Replying to testimony of Joseph H
Choate, who was connected with gov
eminent supervision of the dye in
dustry during the war, Mr.. Metz
said the alien property custodian
tried to seize two of Mr.. Metz's COM
were enemy owned, when all the
stock holders, officers and directors
were American born. He contested
the seizure and has just been award
ed judgment in the courts, Mr.. Metz
said.
The attempted seizure, he said
followed closely his testimony be-
fore the house ways and means COM
mittee in August, 1919 on embargo
hearings.
my lawyer was told I had double
crossed them in Washington" said
Mr.. Metz. "a few days later they
demanded I surrender my two COM
panies as enemy owned"

Egg Gam 1ers

Mr.. John H. Robinson, one of the
editors of the Reliable Poultry Jour-
nal, has been doing some good work
for the producers and the consumers
of eggs.
He has been studying the cause
of low prices, and the evidence he
has on hand proves that the egg
market is manipulated in much the
same way as the cotton and the
wheat markets. He was adniitteu
to the floor of the Chicago Mercan-
tile Exchange the twenty-eight of
last March. This gave him an OPP
portunity to see some of the trans
actions going on and hear some OF
the remarks that indicated the char
acter of the interest of some of the
blackboard for each of the kinds OIL
produce in which it's members trade
butter, eggs and cheese. On other
blackboards it posts conspicuously
the information about current and
comparative receipts and prices
which may be of service to traders
in determining their ideas of val
ues.
Mr.. Robinson says: "At the ses-
sion at which [ was presented the
interest plainly was centered on eggs,
and especially on egg futures. Con-
sidering the season it would be ex-
pected that eggs would get most at
tention, but not that cash fresh eggs
would be as neglected as they were.
There was little trading in them, but
quite insignificant as compared with
the trading in futures, or as some
of those who oppose the practice
call 1.-THE trading on paper
1.-THE greater part of the great
blackboard was used to list the Of
ferings of eggs for future delivery,
presumed to be for storage and stor-
age packed. Offerings were num-
bered, so many carloads in lot.
Usually there were from one to five
carloads in a lot. But the same
party might have several lots listed
consecutively, and in a few cases
noticed name frequently recurring
in the list, sometimes offering one
lot, sometimes several lots, and In
the aggregate in one case-thirty
carloads. This same concern appear
ed at the. same time as bidding on
number of lots offered by others
So did number of other parties.
Each lot of eggs was followed by

watching proceedings during the trad
ing in futures on the Chicago ex-
change, would say: This is game
designed primarily to give esq dis
tributors or traders in eggs an OPP
portunity to make prices on SEEM
ingly authoritative basis of the care
full judgment of the most representa-
tive and substantial section of the
trade, and on the basis of transact
lions which represent their consid-
cred value of the goods. Its prime
object and use is to depress prices as
rapidly and as much as possible dur
ing the flush of production, so as to
enable operators in storage eggs to
increase their profits. incidentally
it affords the members of the ex-
change facilities for gambling in pa
on such of the trade throughout the
country and of the general public as
can be persuaded to buy and sell eggs
in car lots, on margins through the
brokers of the exchange"
I am giving this much of a splen-
did article in the current Reliable
Poultry Journal, because so many
knockers of purebred chickens say,
IF the fine chickens lay so many
eggs where do they go, and why are
they so scarce? 1 used to see tubs
full where one seldom sees a peck
now"
A crouch is going to find some-
thing to knock. That sort of man,
it's generally a man, forgets facts.
but it's well for the rest of US to
be posted. Are you feeding your
hens literally? Remember she can
not reproduce new feathers and keep
on laying without a crop full OF
material for both uses
