of SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28. 1914 LEDGER EVENING LEDGER- LADELPHIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1914. 11 AT NORMAL FIGURES DESPITE RIGID QUARANTINE Killing of Uninfected Cattle Keeps Prices in Check, but Rise Probable if Ban Is Not Lifted. No increase in the retail price of meats has taken place in this city, despite the widespread quarantine of live stock in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia dealers, however, say that if the ban continues much longer the present prices will not stand and beef in particular will become a lusury that only the wealthy will be able to afford.

Killing of uninfected cattle was allowed In the Philadelphia Stock Yards on Tuesday morning for a few hours, and alhand to of the animals passed by though there, were not enough men on the inspectors, a sufficient number, were slaughtered to supply the one week. At present round steak is quoted at 25 cents a pound, rump steak at 30 and airloin steak at 35 cents a pound, while chuck roasts are bringing 20 cents. Hind quarters of spring lamb are solling at 23 cents a pound, forequarters 16 cents and chops from 25 to 30 cents. Legs of mutton bring 18 cents a pound. Veal and pork are quoted as before.

Veal cutlets bringing 35 cents, chops 25 cents and shoulders 18 cents A pound, while pork chops and loins of pork are sold at 25 a pound. Poultry dealers report that turkeys coming to market at present are of a poor quality owing to the fact that there has not been sufficient bad weather to cause the birds to stay at home and fatten up for Thanksgiving. They do not anticipate scarcity of the fowl, however, and say the price will remain at Agures ranging from 32 to 35 cents a pound. Chickens for are roasting quoted and 24 at cents 28 for cents stew- a pound ing. A noticeable increase of sales in this field of the poultry men's business is attributed by them to the fact that customers are becoming frightened by the magnitude of the cattle quarantine and are substituting chickens for beef on their weekly market memorandums.

Fresh eggs continue to sell at prices ranging from 46 to 50 cents a dozen, while print butter is bringing from 40 to 48 cents a pound. In the vegetable markets the prices remain firm on seasonable goods, but on such products as corn and tomatoes the figures are decidedly "fancy." Good corn 18 bringing from 50 to 60 cents a dozen, tomatoes 35 cents a till, while small lima beans are quoted at 70 cents a quart. Lettuce has reached the customary winter figure of from 13 to 15 cents a head. Cranberries are reported plentiful this year, and are selling at 10 cents a quart. Celery is bringing from 25 to 50 cents a bunch, according to size.

the fruit markets, plums and peaches have been displaced by oranges, grapefruit and. apples. Oranges are sellIng at from 30 to 70 cents a basket, apples from 20 to 35 cents A half peck, and grapefrult at the usual prices, ranging from 60 cents to a dollar a dozen. Seckel pears are plentiful and of good quality, selling at 30 cents for a small basket. An unusual feature is found In the fish market, where large bluefish are quoted at the unusually high figure of 25 cents a pound, although the smaller bluefish continue.

to sell for 18 cents. This is said to be due to the scarcity of the larger fish on the Jersey coast. All other prices in this market are reported firm. although there ras been a alight rise in the price of halibut, which is now quoted at 26 cents a pound. TRIBUTE TO MRS.

Conboy, general organizer of the United Textile Workers of America, who is attending the big American Federation of Labor convention in this city. Mrs. Conboy is in town to advertise the big strike of textile workers in the Fulton Cotton Mills, Atlanta, which has been in progress since May 1.

If there is repetition in history, it is assured many little Southern girls yet to be born in the tent colony of the strikers will be named after this fighting organizer, who withal, is as tender with the "white slaves of the mills," as she calls them, as their own mothers are. Sara Conboy is a name to conjure with wherever the textile industry extends. Sara Conboy is to the textile workers of the country what Mother Jones is to the American labor movement. Inspiration is in her work. She knows what the inside of a textile mill looks like.

Many years of her life she spent beside the whirring loom watching the havoc of the machines upon the workers. She was born in Boston. Early she became a member of "the union." She took to its propaganda like the proverbial duck to the proverbial water. She occupied almost every office the union had to until she was called into the intergive national field as a general organizer years ago with the American Federation of Labor paying her salary--that's what they thought of the character and ability of Sara Conboy, as everybody in the labor world calls her. President Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, has promised to let her address the convention en on the subject nearest her heart--the strike of her beloved men, women and children in the cotton mills of the South.

After her address the strike will ASsume a national interest because of her ability to tell the story, and the fact that the revolt is the first big textile strike in the history of the South. This remarkable woman sat for an hour in the Hanover Hotel with her dinner waiting to tell the story of her "kiddies of the mills." Deep emotion was in her voice, her eyes were misty as she told of their gray, colorless lives. In powerful language she spoke of the terrible consequences because of confining drudgery In the big industry. One example she gave is that of 5- year-old Oliver Lee, of Atlanta, A blind boy, whose affliction 18 directly traceable to the toll his mother underwent in the mill. The story of 7-yearold Esther May Smith, who earned 30 cents a week made her hiss her condemnation forth, but when she told of how little Milt Nunnally, a 10-year-old worker.

entered her office one day and placed his arms around her saying, "Mrs. boy, I love you," the lines in her face softened and she quietly murmured: we can control with love, but tomorrow hell with all its imps of hate may be in the saddle." Mrs. Conboy will be a conspicuous figure in the big labor parade Friday night with the textile workers of this city. During and after the convention sessions, she will make a campaign throughout the town among the various unions to obtain aid for the "tent colony" of textile strikers in the Sunny South. There are many interesting women at this convention, but none who grips more strongly than the "Divine Sara the Mills." then you wouldn't be any better off than you are now!" "Oh, yes I would!" cried the little was the big and you the little fish, with a watery, giggle, "for if I fish, I'd tell you to amuse me.

And you'd have to do it or I'd eat you up." The big fish thought slowly for a minute and then he chuckled a fishy chuckle. "And suppose all thatwhat would I do to amuse you?" The little fish flirted his fins and said. "Oh, I could find plenty for you to do, don't worry about "I'm not worrying," replied the big fish, "I'm asking. What would I do?" The little fish giggled. "First I'd have you swim around ten times in a circle like this" (and he swam briskly around), "then I'd have you swim up and down this way and I'd try to catch you." "But wait a minute," the big fish interrupted, "isn't all that swimming going to be rather tiresome on such a cold day?" "Cold day?" demanded the little fish, all breathless from his brisk swimming.

"This isn't a cold daythis is a nice warm day!" And then, quite suddenly the little fish remembered his complaining. "Well, don't care," he said, "it was cold a now!" "At least you are," laughed the big while ago, but it's nice and warm fish, "and let me tell you something, if ever you are cold again, don't sit around and whine for something to do -never! Just hustle around and find your own job and you will get warm and be happy. -Things Tomorrow to Make From Leaves. Copyright, Clara Ingrum Judson.
