BERLIN, Dec. 22. The municipality Is face to face with a very serious problem In connection with the upply of food to thousands of virtually starving children attending; the primary schools In conse quence of the Industrial Inactivity. Hitherto the Children's Canteen Society has been able to cope with the task In a very satisfactory way by means of sub scriptions from private sources, but the rails on Its funds this year are so great that It will be unable to supply many of the children. In the first week of December, accord ing to official statistics, from 245 out of the 285 primary, schools, no fewer than 11,947- children attended school In mosi cases without breakfast and In all .cases without the prospect of obtaining a mid day meal at home. Of these, 2498 re ceive a simple dally meal from the 14 canteens belonging to the above men tioned society: the other 7449 are totally unprovided for. The question of the city's responsibility for the children has now been raised by the Socialists In the municipal council who propose that the council should In future undertake the task. The society will be able this Winter to dispose of the sum of J8.421.50 and this will be taken up by the provision of a meal a day to the children who are on Its books. Alto gether for the feeding of the-12,000 starv ing little ones during the Winter J37.5O0 will be necessary and the council is to be asked to vote $30,000 to make up the amount required and place It at the dis position of the society for administra tion. This course Is suggested In order to obviate the loss of civic rights en tailed by the children's parents should their .offspring be directly fed by the authorities. Parents who do not send their children to school are fined unless they can give medical authority for keeping them home. 7refore. poor parents send children to school even though foodless and mis erably clad.

ARBITRATE 01) FACE STRIKE SITUATION GROWS SERIOCS IN PHILADELPHIA. Rapid Transit Company Imports 2000 Men Serions Trouble IB Feared. PHILADELPHIA, Deo. 23. The local streetcar union today voted to give the executive board of the National body authority to call a strike unless the streetcar companies give consider ation to their request for arbitration on wages and working conditions. The Rapid Transit Company has brought 2000 strikebreakers into the city. These men are being kept at a large park opened by the company on the outskirts of the city, where they are being provided for. Streetcar em ployes profess to believe ' that the Rapid Transit Company wants to get rid of every man on its cars who has Joined the Amalgamated Association and will, if given an opportunity, force them out. More than 76 policemen were put on guard in every streetcar barn in the city last night and arrangements have been made to utilize the entire fire de partment together with the police in case of trouble. The original strike resolution of the streetcar men gives the Rapid Tran sit Company 48 hours In which to treat with their representatives before a Btrlke is voted in the executive com mittee. The period of time will not expire until tomorrow. REFUSE THE REDUCED SCALE Canadian Miners Turn Down Prop osition to Open 'Mines. PHOENIX, B. C. Deo. 22. Special.) Last night the news was made public that the referendum vote taken Wednes day evening by members of PhoerAx Miners Union and Grand Forks Smelter Men's Union in regard to accepting the reduced wage scale offered by the Granby Consolidated was turned down by a joint majority of 67 votes in the two unions. Asked for details at the vofcaa at the two unions, which were taken separately but on the same night, the union officials declined to give out any further figures at' this time. At the meeting of the Phoenix Union there were present from 800 to 400 men and probably over 600 at the two meet ings. The Granby mines and smelter, the largest copper producer In British Co lumbia or Canada, have been closed about seven weeks, but the management recently offered to resume operations at both plants on a reduced wage scale similar to that In force here a year ago, the new basis being $3.50 per day for miners and $3.00 per day for common labor at the mines. No announcement has been made what the company will do further In the matter. SALEM BRIDGE IN DANGER Rains Undermine 'Approach and Car Tracks Sink Five Feet. SALEM. Or., Dec. 22.-HSpecia!.) The heavy rains of the last few days have raised the water in the small creeks In this vicinity as well as in the Willam ette, but there is no apparent danger of the Willamette overflowing its banks. The new reinforced concrete bridge across North Mill Creek, In this city. Is in great danger, however. The approach to the bridge on the north side was undermined by tbe water tonight and the streetcar track sank six feet. The cars stopped running across the bridge. . It is believed that the water will recede without doing more serious damage than washing out the approach. This is the bridge on which the city spent $12,000 and concerning which a grand jury investigation was had. The grand jury exonerated the City Council and the construction company. The bridge has never been opened to general traffic. Northwestern People In New York. NEW YORK, Dec. 22. (Special.)

Several Other Aspirants to Govern ment Jobs Must Wait Until After the Holidays. WASHINGTON, Dee.' 22. The Senate adjourned for the holidays,- afar con sidering a few executive nominations unconfirmed. President Roosevelt has sent to the Senate practically all of his ' appointments ' made ('during the Summer recess of Congress, and the larger part of these have been acted upon by the proper committees and considered in executive session by the Senate. " These include postmasters, consular appointments, land office ap pointments, certain judicial nomina tions and a list of more than 1000 pro motions in the Army and Navy, ' Of the nominations reported favor ably to the Senate for confirmation but one remains to be acted upon that of John G. Capers, to be Commis sioner of the Internal Revenue. An attempt was made to secure the con firmation of Capers a few days ago, but objection was made and it went over until after the holidays. , No charges against him have been made, but the nomination was simply passed over at the suggestion of one Senator who bad conferred with others before he took action. The nomination of Silas H. Reld, of Oklahoma, to be Judge of the District Court of Alaska, in the place of Judge Wickersham, recently resigned, is also held up In the judiciary oommlttee. It It is understood that there will be some protests from Alaska against his ap pointment. There are also some nominations still pending in the finance committee. Senator Clay has held up the confirma tion of one or two Georgia postmast ers, who are to succeed women. The committee on territories has re fused a favorable reporfVor the present on the nominations of George Curry to be Governor of New Mexico, but has seen no reason for holding up the aDDolntmsat n f OavM J. hr tA K United States Attorney for that territory.
