SUPPLIES WOULD BE CUT OFF BY STRIKE "A railroad strike would have a worse effect on the food supply in Richmond than a war," declared Ed Cooper today. "If a strike Is declared and lasts as long as thirty days the situation will become far more serious than any one can realize." s "Jobbers are dependent on the east for coffee, tea and all fancy groceries," Mr. Cooper said. A strike would also cut off absolutely the supply of most of the fruits now on the market within a few days. "Not only would we be denied fancy groceries and imported fruits, which we could easily do -without, but the supply of such staples as potatoes, sugar and many other necessities would be cut off," he stated. "The potato crop in this vicinity, for instance, would be exhausted almost immediately. Means Higher Prices. "Even before the actual supply of food would be exhausted, speculation would inflate the prices and make selling and buying difficult." he said. "I doubt if the strikers themselves realize the seriousness of the situation." When told that local millers predicted that a railroad strike would lower the price of wheat and flour, by putting the surplus which Wayne county is shipping to other markets, on the local market, Mr. Cooper said that he believed such would not be the- case. "Farmers are prosperous, and can and will hold their wheat if there is a prospect of higher prices," he said. "Even if there is a surplus of wheat, the men who hold it have a monopoly if no other wheat can be shipped in from other markets."

PUBLISHERS WARNED TO CONSERVE SUPPLY

NEW YORK, Aug. 18. The board of directors and the paper committee of the American Newspaper Publishers' association met her today and took steps designed to bring about a further reduction in the consumption of news print paper. The following telegram was sent to all members: 'Production 0f news print is at its maximum and there is no surplus stock on hand. Price are Monopolistic. "The demand will soon increase, with no hope in sight of a supply cuff icent to meet it. Monopolistic prices now prevail, and it will increase unless the demand is immediately reduced to a point well below production. "The only .way to accomplish this is for you and. every publisher to econc mize drastically by reducing the number of pages printed. "Reduction to be effective must be made immediately. How much will you reduce consumption?" INCREASE SUBSCRIPTION RATES The Evansville (Ind.) Courier has announced that it has increased its mail subscription from $5 to $6 a year for the daily and Sunday editions, ana from $3 to $4 a year for the daily edition. Also has increased the price of the Sunday Courier to agents from 2 to 3 cents, and 6tates that this has been done without any appreciable loss.

The work of moving cots, tables, chairs and stoves began early this morning. Secretary Wissler estimates that there will be about one thousand campers at the Chautauqua this year. The stores on the grounds have their stocks ready and are doing good business. 1

BREAK IN WHEAT WOULD FOLLOW CALL OF STRIKE

Paralysis of freight service by a nation-wide, strike would force down the price of wheat and flour on the local market, a prominent miller said today. Wayne county produces more wheat than it consumes, so a strike would flood the local market Even this year, when the county wheat crop is estimated to be only half the normal amount, there is a considerable quantity of grain being shipped to other markets by local millers. Wheat continued at $1.35 a bushel today. Flour Remained iunchanged since the first of the week, at $3.50 a hundred pounds wholesale. FOULKE ASKS " Continued From Page One. has one at Rockvill. but the quota of Wayne county is less than three persons, which is utterly inadequate. The state hospital" will not receive advanced cases where quarantine is especially necessary, and our citizens afflicted with this disease are generally unwilling to go so far from home where their friends can not see them. A hospital in Wayne county is an imperative necessity, if the disease is to be controlled, not only for the cure of those afflicted, but to prevent them from giving it to their friends and families, their children and those around them. Wherever such hospitals have been established they have in general been followed by the best results in diminishing this fatal malady. It is conservatively estimated that more than $100,000 in earning power could be saved to our county every year within a comparatively brief period through the diminuation of this dreadful scourge by means of a proper sanatorium. A county society for the prevention of tuberculosis has been organized, consisting of more than five hundred paid members whose number is increasing day by day. This society at a meeting in Richmond passed a resolution urging upon the county commissioners and county council that steps be taken for the construction of a county tuberculosis hospital, and stating that the cost of the necessary buildings would be about $25,000, and BRIEFS NOTICEI will not be responsible for any debts Mrs. Viola Culbertson Otto, my wife, may contract Clifford Otto.

that an appropriation of that stun this year and a similar sum next ysar would be ample to establish and equip the hospital and maintain it for another year, the cost of maintenance of a hospital for twenty patient being about $7,500 s year. Such a hospital would, . however. In the course of the year care for many more than 20 patients since the places of those who are cured or who die. would be filled up by others. In rotation. The resolutions of the Anti-Tnbercur losis society were presented to the County Commissioners on August 12 together with petitions from various parts of the county asking for this hospital and the reasons for its establishments were set forth by many of our citizens who appeared before the commissioners at that time. It is now understood, however, that the application will not be granted at the present time. Although the Commissioners propose to spend $180,000' for the new Main street bridge and at a somewhat later period $180,000 more for a bridge farther south, they have not been willing to recommend an appropriation of anything whatever for he purpose of saving the lives of our citizens from this terrible scourge. They speak of postponing action just as was done a year ago and Just as will be done next year and the year after. But in the meantime, men. women and children are dying with this disease a disease which can be prevented if suitable measures are taken. Can any more useful purpose bev imagined for the using of public money than for the saving of human lives? You are a candidate for the office of County Commissioner at the election in November. May I ask from you for the purpose of saving the lives of establishment of such a hospital and the appropriation of the sum necessary for such a purpose? Such a statement will not only be of interest to the members of the association but to the voters of the county generally. Yours truly, WILLIAM DUDLEY FOULKE.
