Price of Pork Takes Jump, How
ever-Crisis in Walkout
Due Today. .
By Internat ionai News Service.

CHICAGO, Dec. CAS- the second
day OF the strike of members OF the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butch
err Workmen of North America opened,
officials OF the big five" packing com
panies gave. out statements that 90
per cent Of their employees were at
work. The crisis I'm the strike was
expected TO come today, when union
representatives were expected to at
tempt to get other employees to desert
the plants.
Despite the claims Of the packers,
who declare that the walk out. so far
as Chicago Is concerned, has been a
failure. packing house statesmen today
were asking prices from to 5 cents
higher for pork. City food authorities
declare this advance in pork is un-
warranted.
Conflicting claims as to the number
of men involved in the strike here
came from opposing camps. The pack
ers assert only a few hundred men are
on strike. Union leaders declare that
more than IL, 900 men are out here.
According to Dennis Lane, secretary
of The union, $4,000 men walked out
in cities outside Chicago. Lane pre-
dicted the big packing plants q: Chi
cago would be forced to close before
the end of today.

street northwest. He was found No
vember 81 I'm the doorway at 1915 Y
street. He died today In Emergency
Hospital, as the result OF injuries 10
the chest.
Two theories are advanced AZ to tire
possible cause of the PHYSICIANS
death. The first. and to the police the
most plausible, Is that he was struck
10y a motor car and carried by the
strange men to the doorway. The
men were seen talking to DIR. Neale
Just before he was discovered In the
doorway by a negro girl.
The second theory is that he was
beaten and carried to the doorway.
Search is being instituted. also. for
the man who telephoned Emergency
Hospital for the ambulance. Tho
same man. II is said. is believed to
have notified the Eighth precinct by
phone. Although the affair happened

FALL ADVISES
TRANSFER Of
LAND BUILDING
Not Used by Department of In
terror, He Says-Again Urges
Erection of Garage.

Because the Interior Department
office building, at Seventh and Z
streets northwest, Secretary Fall, in
his annual report today, recon.
inends that control OF the building
be transferred to the Office of Pub
lib Buildings and Grounds. The
only Interior Department employees
in the building are an electrician
and an engineer.
The Secretary renews the request
made last year that the appropria-
ton of s150,000 for the erection of
a garage for the department be made
available. He says the construction
of the garage not only would save
the Government money, but would
increase the efficiency of the service.
He estimates the Government would
save S11,640 year.
Installation of the new telephone
switchboard in the Pension Office
saved the Government sS,400 last
year.
The cost of operation of the build.
ings under the control of the depart
ment during the year was:s Interior
Department. 2S.l cents per square
foot; Patent Office, 1915 cents; Pen.
sion Office, 1914 cents; old General
Land Office, 81 cents; and garage
(rented), 45.l cents. The increased
cost of operation over the preceding
year was due principally TO increase
in the cost of electric current and
coal.

Z. @. What is the origin of the
Albanians, and what language do
they speak?
A. The Albanians are supposed to
be descendants Of the earliest Ayran

and Illyrians. They divide them
selves into Tosks and Ghegs. The
people are mostly illiterate and the
spoken language is a mixture of
Latin, Greek and Salvic tongues.

A. An authority on fertilizer says:
"The carbon of the soil takes no

to produce carbon compounds of
plants, because the carbon dioxide
of the air is the source for crop
production. It is estimated that
there are thirty tons of carbon di-
oxide in the air over every acre
Of the earth's surface. The car

ally combined with other elements,

are absolutely necessary for crop
production"
