( The chickens are being sold by about 8.000 butchers throughout the greater city, and the federal Food Adminis-: trator welcomes the purchase of poul¬ try every day i* the week until the supply i a bought up, but a special an- peal will be made on the two ''chicken days." f Sale of eggs by the "rolling atores" will continue to-day at the old price of .", cents a dozen. Rumors that the price would be jumped to 5(5 cents were not based on fact, according to Commis¬ sioner of Markets Jonathan C. Day. The old price will be maintained for this week, it was said. Oscai Straus, who has been investi-1 gating the meal situation, and who has been . interrogating packers about dis¬ tribution and retail prices, said a Fed¬ eral food expert is expectted to arrive m New York to-morrow from Washing¬ ton Mr. Straus indicated that the meat prices will be the subject of *i conference, but that nothing hud been planned in respect to meat prices within the v.rx: few days. The "rolling stores" distributing canned goods will begin operations this morning. Canned beans, corn, peas, to¬ matoes and bacon will be sold at prices advertised by the Federal Food Admin¬ istrator, and these figures, it was said, will be one-1'ourth to one-half the pres¬ ent prices quoted by the retail dealers.

J Factory Work in Tenement (Ionics Dec la red Vic ions Cl»il<l Welfare Committee of WomenV City Club Ar¬ ranges Conference to Plan h* Abolishment Aboliion of fuctoy work in tenement homes as a source of abuses even greater than those developed by the sweat shops is demanded in a report of the child welfare committee of the Women's City Club, which has been approved by the organization's board of directors. The club's "Quurteny Bulletin." just issued, announces in this connection that a series of four conferences are to be held soon, at which all interests concerned will be represented, to devise means of carry¬ ing out the committee's recommenda¬ tions. These conferences will be held under the joint auspices of the Women's City Club and the Men's City Club, and the delegates will include capitalists, labor unionists, manufacturers, physicians and social welfare experts. A summary of the committee's re¬ port given in "The Bulletin" states that in the course of a study involv¬ ing '¡,700 families engaged in homo work the commit!ee found the \ast majority of workers earning less than 20 cents an hour, and that there was u free exploitationvof child labor, with conditions of hours and pay aggra¬ vated by unlimited competition. Home» Are Unclean "Families in which home work ¡a being done are, of course, the poorest among the city's population," says tho committee's report. "Living quarters are unclean and crowded, the neighbor¬ hoods dirty and congested. The work¬ ing hours of the women and children are long and unregulated, and in most cases the conditions under which work is produced are unsanitary and un- healthful. And it may here be said that the work of little children is utilized in practically every homo in¬ dustry. "After a careful study of the facts and ligures obtained," the report con¬ tinues, "the committee came to the conclusion that the only defender of. such an iniquitous form of industry is tho employer and contractor who has been in the. past, and will be in tho future tue first to protest against the abolition of home work. His advan¬ tages are many: "Ho saves all overhead charges. His workers have unrestricted overtime. There is no enforceable age limit ioc workers. He can secute plenty of workers in the rush season without having t<> pay for them in the dull sea¬ son. He is free from compliance with any factory or sanitary regulations. "The apparent benefits to the worker are these: Hone worn can be taken up when other work is scarce. It. fur¬ nishes a few luxuries that poor t'htti- ilies could not otherwise ari'ord to have. It is an .irregular form of employment for those who cannot work regularly. It gives « little work to needy mothers of families, or to widowa, with children whose home duties do not permit reg¬ ular outside work. System Held Vicious "If the employer is correct in the reasons he gives for the continuation of home work ¡hen it ii unthinkable that such small remuneration should be made to people whose nerd is so great and whose sacrifice is so costly. If the argument is given that the in¬ come of the home worker is supposed to supplement the general family in¬ come, then it must be said that such supplementing of iiicomo as a solutio't of tho economic problem is iiripro- gressive, antiqu-.tcd and positively dan¬ gerous to the health and welfare of the entire community. "After a careful consideration of this phase of industry, involving many thou¬ sands of workers, the committee came to the conclusion that home work con¬ tained so many feature-- positively inimical to the health and safety of thousands of people, consumers as well as work'-r.-. that nothing short of it a complet«*- abolition could elminatc its many vicious aspects."

Oppressed Peoples' League Denounces Peace Conference I New Organization for "Free- dorn of 400,000,000" Is! Formed; Protests Action! on Part of Great Britain! Great Britain and the Paris peace conference were held responsible for political wrongs in Egypt, India, Ire-| land, Persia, Syria, China, Russia, Tibet and Corea by speakers at a mass meeting held yesterday afternoon in the Lexington Opera House. The meet- ing formally organized the League of Oppressed Peoples, whoso avowed pur- pose is to work for the "freedom of -100,000,000 people now enslaved." Three thousand persons who filled the hall greeted with cheers the intro- ductory remarks of the Rev. James Grnttan Mythen, of Norfolk, Va., who declared that "ono half of the world to-day enjoys freedom while the other half is in bondage." Dr. Mythen said he had served as a chaplain in the war in the belief that it was being j waged "to free small nations, as promised by Mr. Wilson." "Subsequent events have shown that such is not t'ne case," declared Dr. Mythen. "The time ha? arrived when one man shall no longer speak for the people, but the people shall speak for. themselves'." , Dudley Field Malone, the chairman,! said tin« meeting was called lo serve! notice on the political parties thut. the American poopl«*. "do not want a set of n<*\v quarrel» with other nations." "Our cry fur international liberty will be heard with the cry of our dead soldiers above the din of the political bat tin of 1920," asserted Mr. Malone. ¡Speaking for Ireland, Harry Boland. "secretary of the. Irish Republic," said he was not pleading for a nation that had to he looked for with a microscope. "There can be no ijcacc in Europe, league of nations or no league of na¬ tions, until Ireland is free," he said. tala Lajpot Rai, head of th" Young India movement, contended that "as Prussianism and Ozarism had been crushed, so will British tyranny over India In* crushed." Attacks on the peace conference dis¬ posal of .Shantung; and on the extension «if British influence in Syria, Persia,' China and Corea «.«.-ere made in specific speeches by the Rev. Norman Thomas, editor of "The New World"; Alderman B. Charney Vladeck. manager of "The. Jewish Daily Forward," and Gregory1 /.ilzourg, secretary to a minister in the Koi-ensky Cabinet. This resolution was adopted: "That the assembly places on rcc- ord its emphatic protest agatn.-t the, brulal an«! inhuman methods which Great Britain has, since the signing of the armistice, been using in Ireland, India, Egypt and parts of Russia for putting down political disaffection and dispersing of political meetings. This assemblage is of the opinion that the use of machine guns, aeroplanes, bombs and starvation by blockade for the selfish control of political ai d eco¬ nomic life reduce'-i civilization to a condition worse than savagery and is a sin ¡-.gainst humanity, which ought to be forbidden by the league of na¬ tions. This meeting protests against any interference by foreign powers with the independence and supreme right of self-determination of nil peo¬ ples." 2 Convicts Escape From City Prison in Brooklyn Warden Send* Call lo Polite to Ait!

They are the "odd"' pieces, perfect representations of early American cabinet-mak¬ ing, but with an individual¬ ity of design or proportion or material that distin¬ guishes them from examples found in most private collec¬ tions and museums. 4 Low high=Boy Shown in the drawing above is a low high-boy of curly maple ; the dainty beau¬ tifully designed piece of fur¬ niture of this type. It varies from the usual types of old high-boy and low-boy by em¬ bodying some of the qualities of both in a proportion of lino that is extremely well balanced. The scroll top is unusually beautiful, the curve tit' the legs is very near perfect. Another interest¬ ing feature of the design of lhis low high-boy is its grad¬ uated drawers that get deeper so that the bottom one is the deepest of all. Trice $525. Another pieee fine in design and construction is a small maple and mahogany ehest of drawers, which was probably used as a serving sideboard in/m old Colo- nial dining room. Then- are two drawer:* at the top and deepi drawers on either side of a lower cupboard; $300. A scroll top mahogany chest-on-chest, so fine in de¬ sign as to be almost minia¬ ture, has a carved shell at the top and very beautifully turned (lames at each cor- ner. This is an excellent piece lor ¡a low-ceiled, small room because of its dainty size. Its perfect proportions, however, give the same feeling of height that the usual eiiest-on-ehe st has. $350. A Corner Cabinet .one of the most important pieces in the collection.of j mahogany with scroll top and carved shell, has quarter shells carved in its lower- doors and still has its orig¬ inal H-plate brass hinges: $450. One banjo clock signed by Simon Willard has the original painted glasses; $225. A Chinese Chippendale ma- hogai ..- card table, of an un¬ usually fine old brown color, has incised carving on legs and apron ; $1500. Of lip;ht colore«! maple of beau¬ tiful surface is a small Dutch foot table with drop leave charming table «for ;'-«-akfast porch of a country house; $173. A Fine Desk An unusually interesting desk which Au Quatrième was fortunate enough to ac¬ quire is of the bureau-desk type, with a drop front that simulates a deep drawer and carries out the bureau or chesi of-drawers construc¬ tion of the piece. I' is of un¬ usually lovely light mahog¬ any inlaid. Equipped with three large drawers, besides the small drawers in the in¬ terior of the desk ; $375. A mahogany Hepplewhite sewing-table is perfect in de¬ sign, but much smaller than the usual sewing-table of the period ; $300. A set of six Hepplewhite chairs, and one arm chair, is of mahogany with inlaid and carved shield back, and seats covered with quilted glazed chintz of the period; $900 for set of six.
