WOULD CUT PRICES. Deputy Market Commissioner Negotiates With Authorities at Washington. Edwin O'Malley, Deputy Commis- sioner of Markets, announced to-day that New York City has requested the ‘War Department to let the city act as agent in the sale of large stores of surplus food products now on the Government's hands. If the proposal 1s accepted the goods will be given the city on consignment and sold at retail through numerous municipal facilities, including police and fire stations. Mayor, Hylan has said that he will place all the city facilities at the disposal of the Bureau of Mar kets should they be able to secure the foodstuffs. Capt. A. A. Stewart, Q. M. C, in charge of the Zone Surplus Property Office at 31st Street and Pighth Ave- nue, has promised the co-operation of his department and has forwarded the Mayor’s suggestion to Washing- ton, where it will be acted on by army authorities, An Evening World reporter to- asked Deputy Commissioner O'Maliey whether he expected any antagonisin to the plan from the retail and whole- sale dealers “Well, I hope that they will try and undersell us,” said Mr. O'Malley. “That will bring the prices down for the consumer, and that, after all, Is ‘what the city ts driving at.” If Washington approves the plan the foods will be offered directly to the public at prices far below the current retail rates. Another plan is to have the food distributed through a number of rep- utable trade houses who will give bonds to the Government.

Board's Pl Plans Were Known to Big Liners’ Own- ers Before Announcement. Plans of the United States Shipping Board to make xfontauk Point the terminal for the giant ocean express flyers reached the big steamship com- panies before the general public knew of them. As a result representatives of all the big lines have made investt- gations concerning the project, and with one exception are in favor of it. ‘There was-no explanation as to how the project hecame known before :he officia! announcement, but the pre- diction was freely made that th leadership of the Shipping Board would be followed by all the big steamship companies and the rovtes of the express.steamers would be changed to end their trips at Mon- tauk Point, An official of the International Mer- cantile Marine Company said: “Do not be surprised if an official announcement 1s soon made that our fast steamers will make Montauk Point instead of Now York.” ‘This offictal declared that it was almost certain that the Olympic, Aquitania, Mauretania, Mount Ver- non, Leviathan and Bismarck would make Montauk Point thelr port of call. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company ha’ guaranteed a two-hour train service if the lines accept the Project and has guaranteed to in- crease the tracks and rail facilities to care for the largest possible ocean passenger travel and to handle the mails 6o that a 200-mile trip will be saved the big ships to this port. The same official said that President Franklin of the company had com- pleted an Inspection of the Point and was enthusiastic over it, All that is needed, he said, was a breakwater on the easterly side to keep out the seas, that the harbor was a natural one and that no tides would affect the docking of the big ships. “The keels of the Shipping Board's big ships will soon be laid at the New York Shipbuilding yards in Philade! phia,” he said, “and work wilt bo Ashiey Sparks, Managing Director of the Cunard Lin the projected port, Kosminski of the 5 is Manager euch Line, The latter ne only one of the big ship- pin in favor of the project.

A member of the crew on the Brighton Beach line declared the in- spector knew the motor on the train was defective, and it should never have been moved by the hostler to the main line, for he and the in- spector knew it was sure to cause trouble unless a miracle prevented, This forty minutés’ tipup cost at least ten $8-a-day-men a day's pay, ‘The men are employed on a Brook- lyn newsp2p: and sre members of Big Six,” the printers’ union. ‘The union rule is that unless @ man is | ready for work at the stipulated hour substitute he loses the day and a must work for him.
