Dealing with the steps taken by the Government to assist commerce dur- ing the war, Mr. Lioyd-George said that the Government had undertaken responsibilities which no government ever had been called upon to assume before.

We independents live under a perfect reign of terror and unless a change comes there will be more murders het After three days of allence, imposed by fear, tongues began to be loosened to-day, and the detectives found the first eye-witness of the shooting of Batt, This was Adolph Danziger, an Independent dealer, whose place of business is at Nos. 10-12 Thirteenth Avenue, around the corner from Baff's place. Last year Danziger was beaten into insensibility by a gang of union chicken handlers because he had bought chickens from Baff, who was boycotted by them. FEARS HIM. He told the detectives that at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon two men who were unknown to him asked him [to be directed to Baft's store. When he pointed the direction they went, not to Baff’s place, but to Gansevoort Street, in the rear of Baff's market, and thero disappeared, Danziger was standing in front of his store when the shooting ocurred.
