ACTION OF OPERATORS
PROBABLY SAVED PARIS
FROM SERIOUS FAMINE
PARIS, Aug. 26 (Correspondence of
Associated Press)—Vigilant telegraph
operators in the central office here
saved Paris from a possible famine
! during the recent food crisis precipi
tated by the profiteers.
Following disorders around the cen
tral markets where consumers raided
the stands, and overthrew them, scat
tering vegetables, fruit, fish and other
food to the ground because of the
high prices, a number of commission
| merchants sent urgent telegrams to
! producers outside of Paris telling
them to hold back their goods till
forther orders. Many of the dis
| patches indicated that, owing to a
I general decline in prices, the mer
chants were withholding their goods
from the market.
The telegrams numbered about one
thousand. They had gone past the
wickets into the operating rooms,
when the operator who was working
one of the wires to Brittany noted a
batch of them cancelling orders for
butter. Now he had paid 10 francs
for a pound of butter that morning.
He consulted with colleagues operat
ing wires leading to fish, vegetable,
: fruit and other centers, and their ta
bles were loaded down with similar
telegrams. None of the messages
was sent.
In a statement issued last night the
government said that it took the
responsibility for the action of the
telegraphers.
