President Wilson Considering
flans for Regulation of Ex
ports With This End
in View.
(By AMOcUted Pre.)
Washington, July 28. A plan for
rationing the northern Europe neutral
countries was put before President
Wilson yesterday by the exports
council.
A general policy of supplying
America first, the allies second and
the neutrals last was announced by
the president in his proclamation put
ting the export control into opera
tion, but no specific policy has been
adopted. At present no licenses are
issued for shipment of goods to the
northern neutrals. A large number
of Scandinavian ships, loaded with
foodstuffs, is awaiting permission to
sail.
The American government has no
intention of attempting to stop all
neutral trade with Germany, but will
rut an end to reshipment of Ameri
can goods into enemy territory.
Gradually the export control will
take the place of the British system
of letters of assurance.
Neutral Ships Wait.
Baltimore, July 27. Eighteen neu
tral ships loaded with grain are
anchored off this port with 96,000 tons
of grain in their holds. Fifteen are
Dutch and three Norwegians. Some
have had their cargoes under hatches
for a month awaiting a license from
the United States government and
letters of assurance from the British
ambassador. The cargo of one neu
tral steamer consisting of grain was
dumped overboard yesterday because
it had spoiled. It consisted of about
7,000 tons of corn.
More Than Two Million Tons
Of Shipping Sunk, Says Cecil
London, July 28. Lord Robert
Cecil, the minister of blockade, dis
cussed the shipping situation at length
with The Associated Press today,
touching particularly on the sacrifices
incurred by Great Britain owing to
the obligations imposed upon shipping
as a result of the war, ,
"Ocean going vessels of British
registery before the war were between
17,000,000 and 18,000,000 tons," he said,
by way of introduction. "At present
the total, inclusive of prizes and new
ships, is slightly over 15,000,000 tons."

Governor Harding presided at the
meeting. The city was represented
bv Mavor MacVicar and Superinten
dent Ben Woolgar, the county by
Countv Auditor trank Alber and
members of the board of supervisors,
and the state, in addition to the gov
ernor, by members of thu executive
council and the state board of health.
It was declared that the civil popu
lation trib tar to Camp Dode would
develop to 135,000 people. This esti
mate is based on previous experience
in big camps. The camp itself will
have around 45,000i men. This will

are wonderfully accurate and the
French instructors are amazed at their

London, July 28. Dispatches from
Petrograd dealing with the military
and political situation concur that Pe
trograd is outwardly calmer than it
has been for months, which is attrib
uted to Premier Kerensky's strong
repressive measures, including the
disarming of rioters and mutineers.
Among the arrested extremists is said
to be Madame Kollontae.
The ministry of justice is said to
have issued a statement that it has
clear j.roof that Nikolai Lenine, the
radical socialist, and two of his asso
ciates, Zinovieff and Kamenoff, were
concerned in a German plot against
Russia. None of the correspondents,
however, mentions the arrest of
Lenine.
Internal Situation Improves. ,
The whole internal situation is said
to show sighs of improvement and,
according to the Times, Odessa cor
respondent, it is generally recognized
that the various domestic problems
must now await the end of the war
for solution.
On the other hand, this correspon
dent records the victory of the ex
tremists in the recent re-election of
the local executive of the council of
workmen's and soldiers' delegates.
It is believed that the Germans
themselves were disconcerted by the
unexpected retreat of mutinous Rus
sian troops near Tamopol and lack
sufficient forces at that point to take
full advantage of the situation.
Frontiers are Closed.
Petrograd, Friday, July 28. The
provisional government, in view of
the existing exceptional circmustances,
has issued a decree, closing the fron-
tiers ot Kussia until August 15 in
elusive, both for persons desiring to
enter and those wishing to leave the
country. The only exceptions will be
persons holding diplomatic passports
and diplomatic couriers.
Premier Kerensky, referring to the
situation in Russia said: "It is a spec
tre of anarchy which needs to be ob
literated. Stout hearts and stern
hands are required to stay the rout in
the army, There is plenty of good ma
terial in Russia, but it has been al
lowed to go to waste."
According to the Gazeta, Lenine,
the radical agitation, is being concealed
in Kronstadt in the guise of a pris
oner, by the maximilists.
On the battle front in Galicia,
where the Teutons have been on the
offensive, nothing of material import
ance occurred yesterday, according to
the official announcement today. In
the Carpathians, the Teutons attacked
to the east of Kirlibaba and pressed
back the Russian detachment.
Teutons Continue Advance.
Berlin, July 28. (Via London.)
On the' front commanded by Arch

Russians.

B. R. T. SWITCHMEN
IN CHICAGO STRIKE
Freight Traffic is Hampered
and Embargq, is Placed on
Live Stock; Demand Closed
Shop, Say the Managers.
Chicago, July 28. Freight traffic
in the Chicago switching district was
seriously hampered today by the
strike of the switchmen affiliated with
the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men, employed on nineteen railroads.
The dispute which led to the walk
out of the switchmen at 6 o'clock this
morning is over certain demands
which the railroads declare are equiv
alent to establishing a closed shop
against all switchmen not members of
the Brotherehood of Railway Train
men. ;
Members of the Switchmen's Union
of America, affiliated with the Ameri
can federation, remained at work, and
the railroads declared were aiding ia
filling the places of the strikers.
One Accident Reported.
No violence was reported and the
derailment of a passenger car in one
of the yards was the only accident
recorded. Police details were sent to
the various yards and reserve held
ready. s
The railroads gave great attention
to the moving of government supplies
and the progress of the strike was
closely watched by federal officials.
District Attorney C. F. Clyne said that
prompt action would be taken if gov
ernment supplies or army materials
were destroyed.
Federal mediation was a possibil
ity, though intervention was refused
yesterday -before the strike was called.
Embargo on Live Stock.
The general managers' conference
committee, representing all the rail
roads affected, as soon as the strike
was called, declared an embargo on
all shipments of perishable goods and
live stock ana notified snippers mat
it would be in force until the strike
was settled.
Although the strike technically is
local, it will have national scope to
the extent that it may delay traffic
on all transcontinental roads passing
through Chicago.
James Murdock, vice president of
the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men, received early reports that the
men had quit work at the appointed
time. He said o.wu switcnmen De
longed to the Brotherhood of Rail
way Trainmen in the Chicago district.
The strike is the outcome of a de
mand of the men for certain changes
in rules which the railways contended
would establish a closed shop.
of the federal
board of mediation said that he had
been informed that the union leaders
had voted not to mediate.
Fourth of Men at Work.
Railway officials reported thai
more than 25 per cent of the switch
ing force was at work today. Pas
senger service was said to be little af
fected. Headquarters of the switchmen re
ported that 98 per cent of 6.000
switchmen employed by the nineteen
roads quit work. It was further
stated by Mr. Murdock" that out of
1,408 switchmen unaffiliated with any
union, 1,090 had voted to strike..
Omaha Little Affected.
An embargo has been placed by the
Burlington and Northwestern roads
on perishables and live stock destin
ed for Chicago. This is the result of
the strike among railway switchmen
in Chicago.
The Stock Yards company of
Omaha expects to be notified official
ly also that the embargo is effective
on stock billed to Chicago.-
W. B. Tagg, president of the South
Omaha Live Stock exchange said:
"This embargo will have no great
effect upon our receipts here,except
that they may run a little heavier than
usual. Probably quite a few shipments
will come here from western Iowa
that under ordinary circumstances
would go to Chicago."
