PAY RAISE HALTS
NEW YORK STRIKE:
Railroad Embargo Is Lifted
as Produce Truck Drivers
Return to Jobs.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 9.-The rail-
road embargo on fresh fruits and
vegetables consigned to New York was
lifted yesterday as the strike of 1900
union market truck drivers was
brought to an amicable end. 1t was
estimated the strike had cost shippers
and merchants several hundred thou
sand dollars
A compromise was reached between
all four factions involved in the drivers
strike, partly through the efforts of
Lieut.. Gov. Lehman, who acted to bring
the opposing groups together.
Through a new understanding with
the Fruit and Produce Trade ASsocia-
ton the Market Truckmen's Association
was able to grant a salary increase to
satisfy the demands of their striking
drivers. Commission merchants also
will be involved in the new rules and
regulations to be drawn up between the
Produce Trade and Truckmen's Asso-
Citations
The union drivers were granted a IS
weekly increase and regular pay for
overtime after the tenth hour, but the
nine-hour day was retained. The union
had sought an eight-hour day and time
and a half for overtime.
Movement of 1000 carloads of produce
from New Jersey Railroad terminals
started with the ending of the strike.
More than 100000 worth of
perishables had been tied up in the
railroad yards through the walkout
which occurred Saturday noon.

TOBACCO STOCKS CLIMB
AFFECTS RETAIL SALES
Large Chain Store Raises Price of
Cigarettes to ID Cents
q Package.

The upward movement of tobacco
stocks started last week. following the
announcement by cigarette makers that
they had agreed to raise the base price
of cigarettes from GO per thousand to
$40, is beginning TO affect the retail
sales Of Washington. This was learned
today when one of Waslaington's largest
chain stores announced they had raised
the price of cigarettes from two pack
ages for a quarter to IA cents straight,
and the cartoon price from $115 to
$1.35. Another large chain store and
leading tobacco concern announced
that they expected to follow the lead in
the near future.
This advance, which is directly re-
sponsible from the upward trend Of
stocks, comes after a price war of more
than II months and Is considered the
first phase Of ending the war between
manufacturers.

GRIFFITH SIGNS =
BEALL AS HURLER
Right Handler, SandIot Star
Here, Played With the
Yankees.

Walter Beall, formerly right-hsnd
pitching star of Washington sandlot
base ball and who several times was
given trials by the New York Yankees,
was signed this morning by the Wash
ington club. His contract does not be-
come effective until next Saturday.
President Clark Griffith announced, but
Beall will work out with the Nationals
meanwhile.
Beall was free agent when signed,
having been released outright by the
Montreal club of the International
League early this year when he spurn-
ed its salary offer. He probably will not
be able to do more than assist the Ma
tionals in batting practice for several
days as recently lanced abScess on
his left-hand is not yet healed.
Beall, who is in his late 20'S, pitched
for many sandlot mines here, but gained
fame principally as a member of the
hurting staff of Mohawk Athletic Club.
His first professional experience was
in the Virginia League about seven
years ago. From that circuit he rose
to the International League, pitching
for Rochester Tutored by the late
George Stallings. who managed Roches-
ter. Beall became a clever curve-ball
pitcher and was sold to the Yankees
for $4,000.
Beall was too wild in his pitching to
be of much value to the New York
Americans, however, and after several
trials he was sold back to the minors

PIEDMONT MILLS NEAR NORMAL.
South Carolina Plants Resume Opera
tions-But One Idle.

GREENVILLE, S. c., May 81 P).-
With the resumption Of operations this
morning at the Woodruff Mill of the
Brandon Corporation, textile activities
in the Piedmont section of South Caro-
lima became nearer normal than at any
time within the last eight weeks. Only
one mill remained Idle due to strikes,
about 1000 workers being out as re-
suit of walkout of 200 weavers at An
derSon.
The Woodruff plant was the last unit
of the Brandon Corporation to resume
operations. Workers of the Brandon
unit returned to work last Monday and
those of the Pinseot Mill Thursday. A
total of nearly 5000 workers had been
affected by the strike, which was in
protest against the "stretch-out' eff
cheney system.
At one time 5000 operatives were on
strike in the State, all protesting against
efficiency systems. Labor unions did not
figure, but the United Textile Workers
Union entered the field after the strikes
started and now claim to have over 49,
900 members. The union, however, had
no hand in negotiations ending the
strikes.
Strikes at Union, Pelzer and Ware
Shoals were settled some weeks ago.
