Tri-Weekly Mems Flashes From All Oper
the Earth,
Egg Profits

Egg Profits
Eggs bought from farmers of Michigan
last spring at prices as low as IL cents a
dozen are being sold by one of the "big
five" meat packers to the public in the same
localities at 40 to SO cents dozen, John
G. Clark, wholesale grocer, of Bad Axe,
Mich, testified last week before the govern
ment commission considering the advisabil.
ity Of modifying The consent decree, which.
on becoming effective next February, will
prohibit the "big five meat packers from
handling side-line food products
Vienna Riot
Virtually all business was suspended in
Vienna for a day as consequence of the
serious rioting which ragged in the city last
week. The real extent of the damage is es-
timated by the newspapers at many billions
of crowns. The plate glass losses alone are
said to be more than 610,0O0,000 Gro wns.
The business streets presented a desolate
expanse Of iron-shuttered or boarded-up
shops, interspersed with broken glass doors
and windows, disclosing wrecked and looted
interiors.
In addition to the attacks on the fash
ionable hotels and shops, many persons
were dragged from snowy automobiles ana
beaten. Among those who We're roughly ham
died was Sir A. M. Goode, y the Austrian
section of the Preparations Commission, who
occupied the state suite of the Old Bristol
hotel. His apartment was destroyed, ana
many of his personal effects were stolen.
| Presenting the views of workingmen, the
"Arbeiter Zeitung" says the riot cane as q
result of miseries and despair, and warns
the government and the wealthy. The news
paper advises the workers in the following
words:
"Let us finish with demonstrations, but
remain ready and resolved that when the
| first call is sound I'd to organized disciplined
battle, we may be ready"
Maritime Bootlegging
| Steamers that ply between North Sydney
and those attractive isles OF the North At
lantic-St. Pierre and Miquelon--are carry
ing ever-increasing numbers Of very busy
American business men, these days. Ship
owners comment on the passenger business
as post-wa4 boom, but the customs officials
do not comnient-they merely wonder.
There is a persistently told story In GUS
toms agency ranks that the coming and go"
ing of these business-like folk has to do with
intoxicating liquors, of which there Is quite
store at st. Pierre and M1quelon. 1t Is
said these visitors to the isles go there Tor
the purpose of purchasing and arranging
delivery of whisky and the like to Canadian
and United States "bootleg rings"
It is common talk hereabout that hand
some bounties are being offered-and paid
to the shippers and crews Of small craft VIII.
ling to run the gauntlet of revenue cutters.
Several of the small craft have been caught
running liquor, and pitched battles have oc-
Cured, but officials here said the revenue
fleet was far too small to cope with the situa-
ton and for every rum-runnlng schooner
overhauled and captured dozen had escaped
Turks Peaceful
Yussef Kemal, the Turkish Nationalist for
eign minister, has sent to the allied hlgt COM
missioners, who have been endeavorlng TO
obtain peace between Greece and the Ma"
tionalists, note stating that Turkey anx-
ious to become peace instrument; that she
does not desire to prolong the struggle, winch
| is merely defensive one, and expresses the
hope tina England and Italy may come TO
| terms with Turkey by means Of mutual con-
cessions.
'sThe moment the Greeks accept a pact
with the Nationalist, Turkey will cease to
| be an obstacle to the conclusion of peace,
adds the note, "but Turkey will insist on rep"
arations, as the Greeks INDUCED in un1ustt-
| fable devastations."
Prosecuting Christians
| Three women Near East Relief workers
| who had been in Armenia for three years ar
rived on the Greek line steamship MegaH Hell
| las this week, bringing confirmation OF re-
| ports that MuStapna kemai Fasna was Vus-
| ting Christians to death.
The women are Miss Annie Phelps, OF Phil
adelphia Miss A. G. Anthony and her sister,
| Mrs. A. Anthony Burke, Of Berkeley, Cal.
They said they had not seen any killing
of Christians but that before they left they
had information that murder was being COM
mitted.
"They have adopted a new means OF
slaughter now,' said Miss Phelps, "for no
| longer do they raid villages with savage
troops, but segregate Christians into groups
of twenty and take them to the DESERT where
| they are hanged"
Philippine Plot
| Hauling down the American flag hosting
the Turkish flag in its place and driving out
| all Americans and Christian Filipinos were
parts Of an alleged plot by certain Moro
