IPRICEUST FOR FOOD ISSUED TO BUYERS [Continued from First Page.] groceryman charging more than the price list shows, but the housewife will know that she can do better somewhere else. Mr. McCormiek said this morning that if a retailer charges more on a "cash and carry" plan that he would like to have the matter reported to him by letter addressed to the Cham ber of Commerce offices. It was agreed generally about the city that the housewives can easily save ten to fifteen per cent, on this price by buying in the city markets. It Was also said that the price list in many cash and carry stores are lower. Some, however, doing virtually only a charge account trade, have higher lists. Following the issuance of Mr. Mc ! Cormick's list a reporter for the Harrisburg Telegraph visited two stores doing nothing but a cash and carry business and generally con ceded to have the lowest prices in the city.

CITY STRUGGLING TO RESTORE TRAFFIC [Continued from First Page.] Hallways Company, this morning an nounced that by evening the entire city and suburban trolley system of the company probably would be working on schedule again, with the exception of the Capital street line. A large force of men under the direct supervision of Mr. Davis, worked all night to keep the lines open and to resume operations on the tied up lines this morning. On some of the lines, traffic was con tinued all night, as the only means of keeping the lines open. This morning the lines to Oberlin. Middletown, Riverside and Steelton, were open, and running on fairly good schedule. Cars are running on the Linglestown line as far as Prog ress, and are running to Hummels town borough line. Cars go as far as Division street on the Rockville line. The company hus a plough at Hum melstown trying to open up the line through the town. Sweepers are working in the city to keep the lines in operation. Early this morning the sweepers gave out after the terrific battle in the drifts during the night, and had to be replaced. Mr. Davis said that all lines will be operating to-night. Capital street patrons are taken care of by the Fourth and Sixth street cars, so that the attention of the clearing crews will not be turned to Capital street until to-morrow. Worst in Years Mr. Davis said this morning that the tieup was the worst he has experienced in his twenty-nine years' experience in the city. The Valley Railways Company announced this morning that its lines will be op.ened by this evening. Cars were running on every line on the West Shore this morning with the exception of those from Overview to Marysville, and Boil ing Springs to Mechanicsburg. Car lisle to Boiling Springs was open this morning it was announced. The company had men at work on these lines this morning, in an effort to open them during the day. In Harrisburg cars were still run ning in pairs, or even in threes, this morning. Owing to the accumula tion of ice and snow between the tracks, the cars could not make any speed, and consequently sched ules were slow. Teams getting on the tracks made it impossible to keep to the schedules, and result ed in pairing. This was especially noticeable on the Third street*and Market street lines. Vehicular traf fic on the tracks also carried snow on to the tracks, making it difficult for street oars to operate. Streets Blocked Streets in Harrisburg are to-day almost impassable. The snow is heaped along: the sides in piles eight, ten and twelve feet high, and it is impossible for wagons and trucks to travel anywhere but on the street car tracks. Street car company ploughs have thrown such great piles of snow along the sides of the tracks that another storm would And all traffic paralyzed indefinite ly, while the snow could be hauled away from the sides of the streets. Downtown sidewalks were being cleared of snow this morning by businessmen who made no effort to clear their walks yesterday. The snow tossed off the wide sidewalks in the business sections of the city, also added to the great piles in the streets. In uptown secSions. the accumulations of snow piled up from the sidewalks and from the roofs of dwellings, have become so great that many side streets have been abandoned by vehicles for days end have remained impassable since the storm. Itnllwnyii Open tp After a hard 24-hour battle with snow drifts and snow piles, railroad trains were again in motion to-day. Armies of track forces on the Pennsy, Philadelphia and Reading Railway and the Cumberland Valley Railroad had some hard digging to clear the lines. This afternoon it was an nounced that all trains were again moving, but not on schedule time. The only branches of the Pennsy not open to-day were the Belwood and Cresson divisions. On the main line trains annulled yesterday were again running, but from one to six hours late. Freight also started with a rush to-day and was a big factor ir. preventing the running of pas senger trains on regular schedules. The working forces are still on duty to-day and the snow piles are disap pearing very rapidly. Freight em bargoes which were ordered last week proved a big help in prevent ing a more serious tieup. As far as has been learned, no seri ous results have occurred to food shipments held up because of the storm. It was said that a carload of cattle reached Harrisburg about the time the storm was on full blast and it required considerable work to get it out of the snow drifts. The cattle were cared for at the local stockyards. Railroad officials said this after noon that barring any further fall of snow, trains would be moving much better by to-morrow. Due to the annullment of trains yesterday, a number of engines were given re pair attention, and motive power was in better shape to-day. AH of the lines of the Harrisburg Railways Company will be open by to-night, according to the belief of officials of the company at noon to day. At that time both tracks on the Steelton and Middletown lines were cleared, a sweeper was just inside Hummelstown and promise was given that through service could be given within a short time: the Dinglestown line was open to Progress; Reser voir, Oberlin, Third and Fourth street lines, the latter as far as Divi sion street, were open entirely. Early this afternoon the Race and Vine street line was opened. Immediately after opening the Hummelstown and Race and Vine street lines, sweepers were sent to Rockville to open that line. After that the Unglestown line, from Progress to Linglestown, was scheduled to be opened. River side cars were running on good time, the line having been opened there yesterday. Volunteer Street Cleaner One of the interesting developments of yesterday's storm was the clean ing of downtown streets and the Mul berry street bridge sidewalk by a tractor. Shirley B. Watts, driving a Cleveland Caterpiller tractor, vol unteered for the work and cleared the bridge sidewalks on both sides from one end of the bridge to the other in twenty minutes, bringing back a f e*r passengers on the return trip. He then cleared sections of Market street and broke a roadway up Third str.. He said he could have done ir better if he had been equipped with a heavier plow.

TROTZKY AGAIN OPENS PARLEY WITH GERMANS [Contiuued from First Pago.] and (o return It to the Rumanian people. "Third—That the former com mamler-in-chief of the Rumanian front, Lieutenant General Stcher batclieff, lie declared a rebel against the revolution and an enemy of the people, and is hereby outlawed." Vnrest Continues Unrest among the working peo ple of Germany has not yet quieted down nor has the political conflict between the pan-Germans and the non-militarists lessened appreciably. Concern over the internal security of the empire appears in the mes sage sent by Emperor William in answer to birthday congratulations from the Reichstag. To President Kaempf, of the Reichstag, the Emperor expresses his "ardent daily wish" that the German people may "preserve their union until the final victory of our arms." The Emperor declares that he enters upon a "serious and de cisive year." The Reichstag, how ever, is reported to have refused to vote confidence in the government, mainly through Socialist opposition, and Chancellor Von Hertling may appear before it again in a few davs to discuss the auestion of Belgium. Strike Agitation Fails Efforts to agitate a general strike in Berlin on Monday are declared to have failed, according to a mes sage reaching Amsterdam. Leaflets calling for such a strike were dis tributed widely, in the German cap ital, but it is said that workmen In only a few factories were idle. Lack of central direction of the strike agitation is reported to have brought about the failure. The revolt in Finland is reported to be backed by the Bolsheviki gov ernment in Petrograd which also has severed diplomatic relations, generally the first act leading to war with Rumania. Ultimatums and de mands have been served on Ru mania by the Bolsheviki and refusal to meet these probably caused the Lenine government to act. Finish Disorder in East Most of the disorder in Finland appears to be in the eastern prov inces nearest Petrograd. The revo lutionists generally are members of the Red Guard. Bolsheviki troops have gone to the aid of the Finnish Red Guard and additional aid has been promised from Petrograd. On the lighting fronts of France and Italy nothing has accrued to break the almost daily routine of scattered raids and artillery bom bardments. The representatives of Italy and Great Britain on the Su preme War Council have arrived in Paris, where the American and French members already are, for the plenary sitting of the council. German airplanes again have at tempted to raid London, but with little success. Only four machines are believed to have penetrated the defenses and one raider was brougtu down in Essex. The usual tactics were followed • by the Germans, who tried to attack London in relays, the duration of the raid being five hours.
