j At the conclusion of the regular

meetings of the Central Labor coun

embarrassed by reports that had gone
forth of his activities on the floor;
that other men had their Jobs Jeop

been taken to the police station as an

with but a single dissenting vote.

CHICAGO. III., Nov. 20. Investiga
tions of charges of profiteering on
the part of the master butchers, made
during the strike which ended today
after a duration of three weeks, dis
closed that the four retail shops,
operated by the strikers, have been
celling meat at a lower vrice than
the wholesale price.
To substantiate their charges of
profiteering the strikers opened the
four stores, which were operated by
Individuals and yesterday their quota
tions for meat of medium grade were
as follows:
Porterhouse steak, a pound, I8c;
sirloin steak, lac; round steak, 15c;
chuck roast. Ma to 12c; lamb chops
(loin), 18c; stewing lamb. 10c; pork
chops. 26c: smoked hams (sliced), 40c;
lard; 30c, aad veal cutlets, 2Sc.
The master butchers doing a cash
and carry businses, quoted the follow
ing prices:
Porterhouse eteak, a pound, 28c to
32c; sirloin steak, 28c to 32c; round
teak, 25c to 30c; chuck roast, 18c to
23c; lamb chops (loin), 29c to 40c;
utewing lamb, 10c to 18c; pork chops.
35c to 40c; smoked hams (sliced), 50c
to 55c; lard, 32c to 3ac, and veal cut
lets, 35c to 45c
The strikers claimed that they han
died the grade of meat known a
number two, also classified as me
dium. The master butchers, however,
asserted that the strikers' shops car
ried the poorest grades of meat, and
which they did not handle, as it would
not satisfy their customers and that
the demand for Buch meat exists only
in the poorest parts of the city. A
government inspector also declared
that the strikers' shops sold only in
ferior grades.
The master butchers claimed that
the strikers opened their shops as
"propaganda."
They claimed the medium grades of
meat they sell are quoted as follows
by the packers:
Porterhouse steak, a pound, 2114c
to 32c; sirloin steak, 15c to 25c; round
eteak, 12 He to 18c; chuck roast, 8 Vic
to ISc; stewing lamb, 8e to 10c
pork loin. 24c; smoked ham (whole),
Zoc to 29c, and lard, 28c.
According to the master butchers
and packers, a porterhouse or sirloin
steak may be 20 cents a pound higher
in one locality than in another, owing
to demand, location, overhead expense.
volume of business and quality.
Guy F. O'Neil, secretary of the re
tail butchers' union, said the butchers
were doing all In their power to r
duce living costs. He said one of the
terms of the agreement was that the
S5 wage increase given the strikers
should not raise the price of meat.
The men asked for a scale of $40
week and returned to work on a $36
scale.
1 ne shops opened by the union
butchers will be continued by Individ
uals, said Mr. O'Neil, and that prices
win continue low.

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 20. The
irrigation conference of the 12 west

D. W. Davis of Idaho to consider the
west's need for irrigation legislation,
was formally opened here today when
two committees, one to consider con
templated , legislation and the other
financial problems, to be submitted
to the full gathering of state repre-'

met and decided upon these matters.
The committees are composed of
men from the various state delegates.
Organization of the committees was
decided upon by the leaders of the
conference to gain time and avoid as
much discussion as possible when the
delegates meet tomorrow.
The states of California, Oregon,

WASHINGTON, TTov. 30. Though
operators and miners of central com
petitive fielas remained deadlocked
all day today in their negotiations,
for a new wage scale contract, pros
pects for an agreement that would
settle the coal strike were considered
brighter tonight than at any time
since the strike was called.
The operators offered to the miners'
representatives a flat increase of 15
cents a ton on coal mined, and 20 per
cent increase for day workers.
John L. Lewis, acting president ot
the United Mine Workers of America,
outwardly stamped the concession ea
wholly inadequate, but both sides
plainly took the offer as a breaking
of the ice and an opening
conference.
Meanwhile, the government
tinued to hold hands off and
Administrator Garfield took no steps
openly to ration or restrict coal con

Operator Offer Critlclae.
President Lewis of the miners, after
the close of the session, said he con
sidered that the operators' proposal
"had contributed nothing to the set
tlement of the difficulties." but at
the same time indicated that miners
were preparing to come down a de
gree in their demands for a six-hour
day and a 60 per cent increase.
The operators are proposing some
thing that they know cannot be
accepted," he said. "The increase
they would give they simultaneously
arrange to take back in increased
charges to miners for supplies. Then
they haven't talked the question of
hours at all. We have many of our
men who work nine and ten hours a
day under present conditions, be
cause the present eight-hour day in
many mines is merely a basic theory,
and not an actual fact."

ply were being made.
Except in the West Virginia fields,
upon.whieh It was announced the rest

disregarded the strike recall order,
awaiting developments from the
miners-operators' conference.
in Colorado, a strike of the miners
who had returned to work was set
for Friday because of alleged dis
crimination against union men.
Should the apparently deadlocked
conference at Washington not reach
an agreement within a week, martial
law and state operation of mines

The United States court at Fargo,

If You Need a Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason
why It is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon for

shows excellent results, as many of

According to sworn statements and

that it fulfils almost every wish in

wrote stories, and the nice old law
yet who wrote also interminably
lengthy and wearisome articles on
international law, and put all the
boarders to sleep reading
from his pages, and then received the
surprise of his life by being called to
Washington as an expert diagnosti
cian of international law.
Everybody ehould know the land
lady, ornate and commercial, who
ran the usual boarding house where
the wee godmother wept and dusted
and waited tables and answered
bells, and ran errands, and found her
fun in the friendliness of the board
ers. "She is not my really' step
mother, although I call her step
mother," the godmother child in
formed the prince. "You cee. a step
mother is a lady who marries your
mother's husband."
Yes. everybody should meet Com
fort, the godmother, and her prince,
but anyone who missed making their
acquaintance last night at the Heilig
had better hie himself, or herseir, to
the theater tonight, tomorrow night,
or to the matinee Saturday and rem
edy the deficiency.
Because this twain is one of the
most delightfully human sort one
could meet anywhere. The god
mother has her own particular sense
of dignity, and it shows itself when
she calls upon the bored-to-death
young millionaire chap, Martin, who
is idling away his life because a
great grief, the loss of a wife and
baby, have met him unprepared for
personal battlee. In his great, lonely
apartment at a hotel he is courting
forgetfulness in liquor, and scorning
in apathy any attempts made by his
friends to get him out of the rut.
The little godmother, on the trail
of a publisher who has just left Alar
tin's apartments, is ushered into the
place, through a whim of the tired,
unhappy, un-prince-like owner. Their
adjustment of values, sitting side by
side on the divan, is one of the sweet
est, most charming of episodes. Noth
ing more thoroughly clean and whole
some has been written in stage literature.
They used to call me a prince." he
tells her, and it is her own idea to
name him Mr. Prince. She tells him
of her love for Miss Woods, one of the
boarders who writes stories, but who
never can sell any of them. - She
tells of the other boarders too and
as she reviews them according to
her childish judgment, they pass in
fascinating pictures before us.
Later at the boarding house we
meet them all.. The prince fe
spurred out of his lethargy into un
selfish devotion to a cause. To
make the little godmother happy he
goes to live at the boarding house,
and in his capacity as associate edi
tor of a magazine, a position he de
mands from his publisher friend, he
purchases the princess stories and
buys the output of the old lawyer on
international law.
There's a happy ending; was there
ever a real fairy story without
happy ending? The prince weds the
beautiful princess, who turns out to
be a real princess in disguise (seek
ing copy and atmosphere in the
boarding house) and they adopt the
godmother, first buying her a pink
velvet coat and a white muff, and
they all live happy forever after.
Last night was a home-coming
event for James Gleason, who was
given a big ovation. James is the
prince, a lovable, intensely human
prince, and his quaintly bland sem
blance of boredom was delightful.
Eight-year-old Muriel Nelson, twink

INTEREST in the new bill at the
1 Hippodrome divides among several
good numbers besides the big feature
photo story, any one of which is cal
culated to hold entertainment enough
for any audience. The Minstrel Misses
have an exceptionally lively offering,
a collection of delightful songs, step
ping of an original sort, and plenty,
of comedy. They are seven in num
ber, and each has a lot of costume
changes which adds to the attractive
ness of the offering. Their songs and
steps are new, too with original
ways of getting them across. John
D. Bentley, presents the clever turn.
Mack O'Neil, billed as the tale teller.
Is a capital raconteur, and delights
with his Scotch and Irish impressions,
and his rube study. He is an excel
lent dialectician and his act sparkles
with freshness and fun. ,
Virginia Pearson in the motion pic
ture is one of the big spots on the
bill. It is a comedy drama of preten
tious proportions, a modern version
of "Taming of the Shrew," with the
clever Miss Pearson in the title role of
"Impossible Catherine," a spoiled,
selfish daughter of a rich man. She
meets her Waterloo, and her cave
man hero simultaneously and her
taming into submission is well or
dered and smoothly accomplished. A
capable cast supports the popular j
Miss Pearson, and she is at her com
edy best in this picture.
The three Trennells, featuring a
happy little maid named Anna Tren-
nell have a highly pleasing athletic
diversion called "Bits From Circus
dom," in which strength, grace and
agility count. The charming Anna
does her part in the athletic endeavor,
clad most modishly.
George Randall and company add
a good measure of comedy of the
better sorj in ther playlet entitled
Too Easy." A nicely balanced mix
ture of comedy and chatter plus song
of a pleasing variety is offered by
Willard and Jones in "Huh? Tou
Know."
Opening the bill are Butler and De
Muth a clever team who offer music
and sonar, capitally commingled.

Ing state-wide action against I. W. W,
and kindred advocates of sedition is

Fred C. Brown to result from a con
ference including all the prosecuting
attorneys of the state to be held in
Seattle next Monday. Announcement
of this meeting was made Thursday

was notified over long distance tele

Thompson.
.The prosecuting attorneys of every
county in the state will meet at
o'clock Monday morping in the office

general is expected to attend.
While the purpose of the .meeting
was not disclosed in detail, the attorney-general
indicated to Prosecuting
Attorney Brown that a definite policy
in the eradication by legal means of
enemies of the government was con
sidered imperative. Existing statutes
probably will be gone over at the con
ference and evidence of bolshevistic
radicalism submitted by the various
county attorneys. If a general policy
of investigation and prosecution is
adopted in every county it is believed
that the problem of ridding the state
of undesirable elements will be made
less difficult.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 20. Reduction of
freight rates on coal during summer
and a sliding scale of coal prices,
with lower charges in summer, were
advocated today in resolutions pre
sented to the American mining con
gress as means of reducing the prices
of coal and increasing production so
that miners would have continuous
work throughout the year, thereby
assisting in allaying industrial unrest
at the mines.
A resolution was presented to the
industrial committee urging author
ities "to enforce to the limit all ex
isting laws that deal with anarchy
and seditious utterances and acts."
Speakers urged that congress im
pose a heavy tariff on "war miner

better with foreign shippers.

Augusta, Ga.. May 20, 1919. "I suf
fered with rheumatism and Indiges
tion and at times could not use my
arms to feed myself. I tried every
remedy I heard of with only tempo
rary relief. I was advised to try
Number 40 For the Blood, which I did,
with splendid results. While I am not
entirely well, I feel like a different
man and expect to continue Number
40, believing- it will cure me. I have
told several of my friends of 40, which
they are taking: with great results.
I cheerfully recommend Number 40 to
any one suffering- from any blood or
