There was a conference to-day at which the league directora met na- tional, State and city food adminis- tration officials and representatives of distributors, It was proposed that the distributors accept the half-cent joss occasioned by the November ine crease—paying the Increase and atill maintaining the 14-cent October rate to consumer. The distributors said a half-cent increase in the price to them might necessitate a full cent increase to the consumer, because the penny could not be split on the price of a bottle of milk. A tentative suggestion was made that the distributors might stand the half-cent loss during this | month if the league would guarantee to stand the loss caused by any fur- | ther increase n Represontat! distributors went into @ room by themselves this afternoon to talk it over and decide, The conference was held at the of- fice of Food Administrator Arthur Williams, TO TURN OVER TUGS TO U.S. IF HARBOR STRIKE COMES Owners Announce Plans to Prevent Interference With War Preparations.

Morris Hillquit: “Our Campaign Has Evoked a Great Popular Uprising for Democracy—We Have No Doubt of the Verdict.’ To the Editor of The Evening World: Our campaign has been made on four matn issues: A humane, effictent city government; our programme for reducing the great burden of soaring prices under war conditions under plans similar to those found successful in scores of European cities; the preser- vation of our constitutional guarantees of a free press, free speech and freedom of assemblage; the issue of having the United States take the lead in moving for a speedy, just and general peace, a negotiated peace without forcible annexations or punitive indemni- ties, based on disarmament, and a pact of all nations to prevent any recurrence of a catastrophe like this war. We believe such @ peace would be the greatest possible blow to Kalserisin, junkerism, militarism and imperialism in all countries, While the candidates of other parties have indulged in a cam- paign of mud-slinging and abuse, we have stuck calmly to the {asues und have evoked a great popular response which will sweep us into office next week by a remarkable vote, We have been gaining steadily with Increasing momentum day by day, Democrats and Republicans of all classes, by the scores of thousands, have been flocking to our standard, Already Messra, Mitchel and Bennett are hopelessly beaten. The tssue up to the people of New York is whethor they want four years of an old-fash- joned Tammany administration, with all that that implies, or a human administration pledged to officer the city with the best expert assistance oltatnable, irrespective of party lines, and to conduct the city solely in the interest of the people. Our campaign bas called forth a great popular uprising for democracy, for human happiness, for a just and speedy peace, We have no doubt of the verdict MORRIS HILLQUIT, ~ $100,000,000 18 NEEDED |.2""-""" TO HOUSE WAR WORKERS "35 is centres is seriou a0 Shortage of Homes for Munitions } 1, | Plant Employees Interfering | With Output.

He Gidn't get the money, he says. It is charged that the alleged fraud and forgery were committed when surplus names on some petitions were shifted to others to help out candidates who couldn't get enough signers. “The evidence brought to light by the examination of the petitions this afternoon," said Assistant District Attorney Mork, “would indicate that the nominations of John J. Boyle jr. and Jullus T. Tobias, candidates for Municipal Court Justices of the Bronx, William Wachtel and John Lawrence for the Board of Aldermen, were obtained by fraudu- lent means——or in any event fraudu- lent petitions were filed in their be- half. “Simeon Beckerman, of No. Avenue A, Manhattan, was emplo: by John J.

Tobias ant John Boyle, jr. both candidates for Municipal Court Justice in the First District of the Bronx. “He was hired in the office of Mr. Knewitz, a City Tax Commissioner, in the Municipal Building, Manhattan All the candidates named were present when he was hired, and thre} agreed to pay him a certain price—$1,000, he says, but they haven't paid it—for ob- taining sufficient signatures to make the nominations good. “Mr. Beckerman obtained more than enough signatures for the nom- ination of the candidates on the ticket that did not bear the Mayor's name. After he had turned over the signa- tures to Julius T. Tobias, candidate for Municipal Court Judge, and Charles Hatberstadt, Secretary of the Republican County Committee of the 147 Bronx, he did not see them again They were delivered to these men by Mr. Beckerman's partner, Isador Wolchok. “We found during our short exam- ination here in the office of the Board of Elections that some of the city petitions were used for the purpo: for which they were Intended. B we also find that a petition for the Fusion Committee party waa filed in behalf of Julius T.

NAIR nace | Twenty-Nine Huge Factories Taken Over to Build Great Fleet of Planes. ‘ WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN THE FIELD, Nov. 3 (United Presa). —Germany is making supreme efforts to meot America’s aviation pro gramme. Whatever the number aeroplanes and pilots America may be able to contribute by next spring, Germany will duplicate the performs ance, if it in at all possible, Documents taken on prisoners and assembled to-day showed some extras ordinary efforts by Germany to ime crease the number of her planes am@ counterbalance the aviation superiors tty which America’s contribution oth+ erwise would brin, Since last spring no less that twenty-nine huge German factories formerly engaged in production of general war material have been con~ verted Into factories for airplanes and hydroplanes. In addition, old~ established airplane factories at Ber+ lin, Cologne, Altanna, Johannisthal, Potsdam, Charlottenberg, Dresden, Spandau and other industrial centres have been greatly increased in size, The Fokker factory has fust taken over the largest piano factory in Northern Germany—the Bersina, at Schwerin. But not only is Germany increas ing her own production, she is mak~= ing purchases of foreign countries, An order for 250 Argus motors has been placed with the Radernesksee= bac at Zurich. Simultaneously with this speed-up, programme tn manufacture, Germany is experimenting to Improve her out~ put. Among the newer types now being put out is a 200-horsepower being put out 1s a 200 horse-power Fokker. A new bombing plane be also been developed—a two-eni machine, with a carrying capacity mee 1,700 pounds of bombs. The motors are Mercedes type, 260 horse-power, and when fully loaded the planes are capable of climbing 12,000 feet ta, thirty-five minutes. Germany now figures an alrplane 1s “worn out” after 150 hours of fight. At present her greatest weakness in manufacture 1s the propeller, as the Germans do not seem to have a suff- cient supply of the proper wood. To provide the necessary pilots for the new German aviation programme, the military authoritius are offering exceptional facilities for all volun- teers. Some idea of the degree of pertec~ tion which the Germans are endeave oring to put into their new pro- gramme may be gathered from the fact that a new German plane re- cently forced to land on French @oll was equipped with an electrical ap- paratus for drying the clothing and gloves of the aviator and at the same timé furnishing current for , wireless communication, —_—_——_——— GAS KILLS TWO SOLDIERS.
