Four district committees ot mo wom

greatest amount of subscriptions to the
third Issue of the Liberty Loan. Tho
Women canvassers In the West Philadel
phia. South Philadelphia. North Phila
delphia and Germantown districts havo
Crganlztd their forces in an endcaor
each to outdo the other.
Each of these districts has exceeded
the $1,000,000 mark. They arc grouped
eo closely together that unless each
worker docs her utmost one of the com
mittees will walk away with tho honors
Sirs. John W Moycr. chairman of the
committee working1 In tho northeastern
section of the cltv Is confident, like all
the other campx n chairmen, that her
team -will take the lead. Hhc has planned
to Invade the rural sections of her dis
trict and expects to obtain many large
aubscrlmlnns from the farming folks
The other chairmen of the contesting i
committees nre not so prone to let their
plana and objectives be known to the
other contestants, but Insist that tliej
will win the honor of being the most suc
cessful woman's Liberty Lo.in committee
In addition to theso districts, the
women's central city committee ha"
almost $8,000,000 to Its credit, but this
district Is so far In the lead that no
other may hope to overtake It.
North Philadelphia, under Mrs. WIN
mer Krusen. went ocr the million dol
lar figure last night when tho Young
Friends' Association, through Treasurer
LIndfll, sent In an cnelope with $1J-,-O00
In subscriptions. Across the envelope
wai written "Moro to come." Of this
nmouut $50,000 was subscribed by
Charles 11 Hires Another big factor In
the success of Mrs. Krusen's workers
was the work of tho olunteers In the
theatres, whero moro than $100,000 was
subscribed over the week-end.
In South Philadelphia, under Mrs.
Walter J Freeman, the women rounded
out a busy day after the parade on
Saturday by working hard along South
street, South Drood street and other
busy thoroughfares, und pushed their
district Into tho million-dollar class. A
large factor here, too, was tho motlon

Vigorous nctlon by Pederal authorities
to suppress West Philadelphia real estate
profiteers who have given tenants the al
ternative ot vacating or purchasing at
exorbitant pi Ices is expected as a result
ot conferences bilng held tcilay between
United States District Attorney Kane.
Congressman Clecrgo P. Darrow- and
Howard A. Uernhclser, chairman of the
citizens committee named to fight the
profiteers.
As soon as Mr Kane has had time to j
go over tho evidence presented to him
which will probably bo within tho next
few- days, a mass-meeting vill be called
similar to tho one held In Liberty Hall
last week, at which 350 West Philadel
phia tenants voiced their protest against
profiteering In real estate.
Tho committee desires every tenant
In West Philadelphia who has received a
notice to vacate or buy to notlfey Mr.
Bernhelser at once. Already more than
fifty tenants havo so notified tho committee
A striking example of the course of
real estate prices In West Philadel
phia, chiefly In the southern section, is
a largo number of houses on the south
side of the 6900 block on Pino street,
where the price went from ?3800 to
J4C00 In the last month. In the CT00
block on Larchwood avenue, north side,
about thirty houses have gone from
(3300 to 33700 In the last six weeks.
The neighbors say they aro accus
tomed to seeing a new price on the
signboards nearly every morning when
they awake.
James A. Graham, a lessee at E74C
Itodman street, received a notification
to purchase the house at J 3000, an In
crease of 3300 over the original price,
or get out. Mr Graham and a brother
who lives with him are engaged

BREWERY STRIKE CONTINUES
The lumber Industry of western Wash
ington and western Oregon, according to
recent statements of the I3us!nes3 Chron
icle, of Seattle, Is working under handi
caps exceeded In no other essential In
dustry of the country. "These handi
caps," said the paper, "aro not the re
sult of natural conditions, but have been
imposed by clumsy efforts at Government
regulation put In force by theorists who
know- nothing of practical lumbering op
erations." According to ono Instance cited, n
Washington shingle mill found Itself un
able to ship Its product ow Ing to tho
cutting oft of car supply for commercial
shipments, A situation lu which banks
were about to shut off credit and In
which eastern customers began to shout
about contract fulfillments then arose.
In desperation the mill chartered scows
and a tug to move six carloads of shin
gles up to Vancouver. B. C, where there
were plenty of cars.
At Vancouver the shingles were londed
on cars belonging to an American rail
road, and, after going Into Canada under
bond, the cargo rode back Into the
United States, went directly by tho mill
where It had originated and went on
somewhere "east of Chicago" Into terri
tory Bhut off by Administration embar
goes from receiving any lumber origi
nating at rail haul points In the Pacific
Northwest.
As lumber comes Into the United
States from Canada without duty, the
situation Is such, American lumbermen
say, that Canadian lumbermen have ac
cess to domestic markets which Is denied
to mills In the United States. Some
dea of the extent to which Canada draws
upon car supply can be seen from the
United States Department of Commerce
figures, which say that shingles requiring-
0001) cars were shipped In from
