Nov. 23.— While the businesg of manufacturers of sewing machines has fallen slightly below the record of last year, sieng of a re- vival are apparent in the demand for machines used chiefly in the manufacture of underwear. The placing of large orders for war ma- terials in this country by foreign nations hag resulted 1n a good de- mand for certain machines particu- larly those suited for edging blank- etg, The loss of the regular Euro- pean business has been replaced to w certain extent by large purchases of machines in England and France tor stitchinz blankets, underwear, puttees, and other army supplies. One of the leading manufacturers cays his firm is looking rorward to increased with South Amerviea, due to the celimInation of German competition. Many inquiries have been received from manufac- turers in the southern continent as to whether parts for the German machines eould be supplied by firms here. This particular firm makes supplicg only for machines of their cwn manufacture, as do mest of the and sooner or an busines- cther large concerns; later South American have to discard the forelgn machine, due to inability to repair breakaces, and replace it with the American ar. tiele. interests will JUGGTLING BETTER PRICES New York, Nov. The tigation being conducted by State into the prices of bhutter, egg and food will be continued today. At the recent hearing James S. Pet- tit, of Petit & Reed, admitted that the rules of the Mercantile Ex- a0 inves- ter, of Lakeland, and James J. Peter and Chandler Campbell, of Missourl, {last week purchased $37,000 worth of land in the neighborhood of Clar- cona, which is lodated jbout ten mileg northwest of Orlando. These gentlemen intend to colonize this recent purchase and place it on the market. Mr. Baxter is a well known man in this section of Florida and ]has handled several large proposi- {tions. Only the finest type of high class and desirable people will be | secured by the above named promot- ers in developing this splendid tract of land. It is an enterprising move on their part. and is an ever increas- ling index of the progressiveness of the people in this sectlon who are vitally interested in the develop- ment of Orange county and this part of fair Florida. change end themselves to manipula- tions by the members for selfish mo- tives. He declared most of the troubles of the exchange are brought about by the members themselves, who manipulate the market for their own ends. He gave as an ex. ample the fact that a man can offer a bigger price than usual for the highest grade of butter, of which there may be only fifty tubs in New York, and at the same tlme call for 400 tubs. This causes other men not on the inside to raise the prices of the lower grades of butter all along the line. A man who hag a large supply and wants to unload can have a dummy offer lower prices on the exchange and cause receivers to lower the prices of all grades ac- cordingly. Referee Edward O'Malley is conducting the inquiry. the 5 Convicts Kill Guard And Escape At Pensacola A. MAYQO VICTIM OF AS.

The following from the call is the argument for full representation: “Each year furnishes additional reasons why the State Federation of Labor should be supported by every lzbor union in the State. In the ab- sence of a State body the labor movement would be little heard of outside of the large cities. We need additional lawg for the welfare of the toilers of our State, and thig is the mission of the State Federation of Labor." Officers of Federation The oflicers of the federation are as follows: President, ('. E. Shap- ard, Miami; first vice president, . K. Pierce, West Palm Beach; second vice president, C. T.. Willoughby, Lakeland; third vice president, G. V. Blackwelder, Sanford; fourth vice president, W. S. McQuaid, Mi. ami; fifth vice president, R. H. Norburg, Tampa; sixth vice presi- dent, J. H. Mackey, Jacksonville; secretary-treasurer, W. E. Terry, Jacksonville. BELGIAN CONSUL SAYS THERE IS NOTHING DOING Miami, Nov. The effort, which means the expenditure of ap- proximately $100,000 by Miami, to I'elgian Consul Georges Mignolet, on behalf of his unfortunate people, who, because of the war, have been made homeless, has apparently been considered lightly by that official, judging by the tone of his letter from Kansas City in answer to the cffer which reached Miami. The let. ter follows: “Dear Sir--1 thank you for your letter and telegram of recent date, and in reply will say that at the presentg time there is nothing in but will be glad to flle your the first opportunity o0 3. view; letter, and at advise you.” I In view of the fact that the efforts |of the Board of Trade, together with certain individuals, have been untir- ing, and that their offer was con- ¢idered one well worth causing the an consulate to take immediate laction, Mignolet’'s brief reply was anything but encouraging to further stimulate acts that wonld eventuate in bringing guccor to those who have been deprived of their homes.
