New York Faces Food
Shortage Made Imminent
by Number of Strikes
Now York. Oct. 14. With at
least 230,000 workers either on strike
or idle as the result of strikes, ac
cording to union estimates, New
Y'ork to-day viewed with increasing
concern the prospect of a serious
food shortage rendered imminent by
the refusal last night of the long- j
shoremen-to return to work and the
continuance of the teamsters' strike, j
The only ray of hope was the an- ;
nouncenient by President T. V. j
O'Connor of the International Long- j
shoremen's Association that the
various locals would now take a
referendum vote on the question of
returning to work.
The walkout of the 11.000 team
sters, chauffeurs and helpers has
caused the American Railway Ex
press Company to place an embargo
on all express packages entering and
leaving the city. Virtually all the
lish, vegetables and other perishable
food are shipped here by express. !
The strike of the longshoremen, 1
harbor and ferry workers has caused
food to rot on the docks and in ships. ,
No coal has reached here for sev
eral days. Some milk and vege
tables have reached the city by cir
cuitous routes.
% The industrial unrest in the city is
shown in a statement by Ernest i
Bohm. secretary of the Central Fed
erated Union of Greater New York,
in which he says 120,000 workers I
affiliated with the American Feder- j
ation of Labor are on strike. In j
addition Mr. Bohm states that there !
are 50,000 "unclassified" strikers |
and 50,000 nonstrikers thrown out !
of work.
The principal strikes here and the-j
number of men affected, according I
to Mr. Bohm are: Marine workers, !
25,000; cigarmakers, 15.000; millin- |
ery workers, 7,500; shipbuilders, j
3,000; printers, pressmen, etc., 5,000; j
piano workers, 10,000; builder J
trades, 25,000; tailors, 3,000 and [
laundry workers, 20.000.
An interesting development in the j
Btrike of pressmen and other ,
workers in book and job concerns I
was a letter sent to Samuel Gompers '
by the heads of three international \
unions affected by the strike, in I
which expulsion was demanded of j
the Central Federated Union of New
York from the American Federation
of Labor, unless its "sympathy and
moral support" was withdrawn im
mediately from the "outlawed"
pressmen and press feeders unions.

uled to speak until the last day of

vices."
Mr. Seraphin. who is special in
spector of weights and measures for
Philadelphia, explained that because
of the enormous increase in the sale
of gasoline during the last few years,
the attention of the department was.
called to liquid measuring devices.
He weqt over some of the devices in
use at present, suggesting improve
ment and criticising the work of
some, and then explained the most
recent Invention in the liquid meas
uring line, the automatic predeterm
ined stop, which permits the gauge
to be placed at the number of gallons
desired and a free flow of gasoline to
the tank, the stop automatically shut- |
ting off this flow when the required
number of gallons has come forth. 1
Mr. Seraphin likewise explained a
test measure device which he had
invented. '
James F. Woodward, secretary of

department. He told them of the law
