EMPLOYES REITERATE THREATS OF WALKOUT Executive Council of Shop Crafts Unable to Cope With Situation; C. of C. Against Public Ownership. Washington, Aug. 5. The railroad problem which is engrossing the at tention of both the executive and legislative branches of the govern ment will be brought before congress tomorrow with the appearance be fore the house interstate commerce committee of representatives of the railroad brotherhoods and of organ ized labor in general in support of their plan for tripartite control of the railroads. Meanwhile threats of hundreds of thousands of railroad employes to go on strike to force higher wages to meet the high cost of living were reiterated. From many parts of the country today came reports that striking shopmen refused to return to work, despite that their action was denounced as illegal by the execu tive council of the six shop crafts. Strike ballots were mailed from the American Federation of Labor for taking an official vote as to whether the 500.000 shopmen shall walk out to obtain their demands and express their disapproval, of President Wilson's reference of the railroad wage question to congress. Demands also are being made by 450.000 clerks, freight handlers and station employes. Director Htnes was to have dis cussed their problems today with J. J. Forrester, grand president of the union, but other business mteretered and the conference will be held tomorrow. Business men of the country as represented in the Chamber of Com merce of the United States favor private ownership of the railroads. C. of C. Announcement. Based on a referendum of the chamber's 670,000 members, this an nouncement was made tonight fol lowing publication of the demands of organized labor for elimination of private capital from railroad owner ship and operation. Announcement of the vote ot yy per cent of the businessmen against government ownership "was accom panied by the following explana tion of the reasons actuating the decision: "1 Under government ownership the development of railroad facili ties would depend upon congres sional appropriations whfch would prevent the anticipation of the transportation needs of the country. Appropriations would not be made in the amount and at the time needed to insure adequate development ot the railroads. Political considera tion might also control the amount of appropriations and the objects for which they were made. "2 To acquire the railroads the government would have to pledge its credit, for $18,000,000,000 to $20,000, 000,000 at a time when other large financiering must be none. It would be difficult for the government to dispose of the securities required to . j , i , j purcnase tne rauroaas. ana u wouiu be necessary for the government to secure from $500,000,000 to $1,000,- 000,000 of new capital each year.

Efforts to an ticipate the results of any quick switch in the policy as to the dis posal of the 1919 domestic crop of wheat knocked the bottom out of values today on the Board of Trade. Downward plunges in the price of the chief trading commodity, corn, did not stop until the market was 32c a iushel lower than when the campaign against the high cost of living began a week ago. The most spectacular tumble to day was in the December delivery of corn which under furious selling dropped 104 to 1-41, but rebounded and closed at $1.42 to $1.43$4. At the same time pork plunged down $3.50 to $44.50 a barrel for Septem ber delivery and unlike corn dis played no power whatever to rise again from the bottom price reached. Plane Kills Electrician. San DL. Cal., Aug. 5. Return ing from a flight to the Pacific fleet, a seaplane piloted by Lieut. O. P. Kilmer, of the North Islaid naval air station, crashed in San Diego harbor Tuesday night. S. E. Deveas. radio electrician, was killed SHANTUNG AND LEAGUE PACT ON SENATE GRIDDLE Both Come in for Bitter Criti cism in Consideration of Treaty With Germany. Washington, Aug. 5. The league of nations and the Shantung settle ment both came in for bitter criti cism in the senate's consideration of the treaty with Germany. At a public hearing of the foreign relations committee issues of the league controversy started a dispute which bordered on an uproar, and in the senate chamber an attack on the Shantung provision by Senator Watson, republican. Indiana, de veloped a series of sharp exchanges. Crash Follows Examination. The committee's clash over the league grew out of the examination of Norman Davis, a financial adviser to the Versailles peace conference, and centered in a heated discussion of the attitude of President Wilson toward supplying the committee with adequate information. Chairman Lodge, replying to a suggestion that the president be asked to come- before the commit tee, declared Mr. Wilson never had offered to do so and had failed to send important information repeat edly asked for, Senator Pittman, democrat, Nevada, replied that in his address to congress such an offer had been made, but the committee majority had ignored it. Running Fire of Questions. Once the subject of the league had been raised, league opponents gave a foretaste of what may de velop when Secretary Lansing ap pears before the committee by keep ing the witness under a running fire of questions relating to provisions of the covenant. It was when Mr. Davis declined to pose as an expert on the subject and, in reply to a question, suggested that the presi dent be consulted that the commit tee members clashed over Mr. Wil son's course in the matter. Under present plans the question ing of the secretary of state will be in open session, and it is expected he will be asked to disclose many features of the Versailles negotia tions with the league covenant and the Shantung agreement occupying a prominent place in the discussions.

COMMISSIONERS FAVOR INCREASE IN CAR FARES The International Copper 5H zzrto PUNISH Detective Tells of Plans Form ulated in Recent Labor Controversy. Winnipeg, Aug. 5. R. E. Bray, a returned soldier and Winnipeg strike leader, on trial here for con spiracy, declared that he had a fully organized band of 3,000 to 4,000 men ready to take up arms at a given signal June 10, last, according to testimony offered in court today by Detective W. H. McLaughlan of the Northwest Mounted Police. McLaughlan was a plain clothes man assigned to follow the strike and was in the confidence of sev eral labor leaders. His testimony in part, follows: "In 'the course of my conversation with Bray, he stated this affair was going to end in a fight and when I lamented the fact that we had no guns, Bray said: 'Don't worry about guns; we'll have them. We got between 3,000 and 4,000 men ready and instructed to be in certain places when the alarm is sounded and they will get into citizns' cars which are to carry the militia to Minto barracks, pass themselves off as militiamen until they get inside the barracks, get possession of the rifles, turn upon the real soldiers and seize the barracks.'" Allied Forces Driven Back in Onega Attack London, Aug. 5. Allied forces that landed at Onega, on the north Russian front, attempting to recap ture it, were driven out after 16 hours' fierce fighting in the streets, according to a bolshevik official re port received Tuesday. The bolshevik statement said the allied troops re-embarked under a hurricane of fire from their ships and that the warships steamed northward. One of the allied ves sels, it was reported, was set on fire by the bolshevik artillery. Ukrainian red troops have occu pied Aleshky, the message adds. The dispatch also announces that the congress of Soviets held at Nizhni Novgorod decided to close all the monasteries and send the monks to work in the rear of the army. Man Overcome by Heat; Highest Temperature, 96 William R. Meyers, Tekamah, Neb., was a victim of the heat yes terday afternoon. Meyers stagged into the William G. Pfeiffer garage at' Twenty-fifth and Leavenworth streets and said he was sick. Dr. A. J. Edstrom attended him and had him removed to the doctor's office at Central police station until he re covered. The highest temperature mark yesterday was 96. compared with 104 'in the same day last year, Will Withdraw Opposition to 6-Cent Fares if Company's Books Show Loss and Wage Increases Granted Employes. Out of the maze of conflicting developments, declarations and con ferences resulting from the street railway strike controversy, one fact stood out prominently last night. No street car strike will be called in this city today. This announcement, made offi cially by both Ben Short, president of the street railway men's union, and Allen H. Burt, national com mitteeman, here in the interest of the street railway employes, served for a time at least to allay the fears of residents who believed that the refusal of the demands submitted to the company by the men would make a strike inevitabe. Officials of the company denied practically every demand of their men yester day. Only in the matter of in creased wages are the men accorded a compromise offer conditional upon higher fares. Will Withdraw Opposition. Action was postponed by the men following a conference late yester day between the executive commit tee of the union and Commissioners Zimman, Towl, Falconer and Mayor Smith. At this conference the com missioners declared their willing ness to withdraw opposition to an increased fare if the scale of wages was also raised. Before consenting to a higher, fare, the mayor de clared, the company must place its books before the council for exami nation to determine whether the company is entitled to the increased fare. Assistant General Manager Letissler expressed his readiness to submit the company books for ex amination. The men and the company are also to arrive at some understanding on the matter of wages before the city council will agree to a fare increase. This is to insure a sufficient wage increase to the men, the mayor stated. Immediately after this meeting it was announced by officials of the union that they were willing to waive the demand for a "closed shop" as well as for a signed agreement be tween the company and the union. It was also intimated that many of the other demands would either be wholly waived or greatly limited. "The primary issue now is the question of wages," Mayor Smith declared following the meeting. "I believe the men are entitled to more money and the company to a higher fare if its revenues are insufficient at the present time," he declared. Disagree on Increase. An attempt to comply with the suggestion of the councilmen that a wage agreement be reached ended in failure last night when employes refused to consent to a 5-cent in crease per hour in the event that a 6-cent fare is granted. This propo sition was put forth by the company. Upon concession of a 7-cent fare by (Continued on Pao Twa, Column Fonr.) Three Killed and Millions Damage in Storms in Ohio Cleveland, Aug. 5. -Damage esti mated at nearly $2,000,000 to crops and property resulted from rain and electrical storms which almost reached cloudburst proportions, that swept northern Ohio Tuesday after noon and night.

SHNPiiAY CONTINUE UAKKUltU IN flLLU; DOG ON GUARD Belts Drawn in Tight Knot Around Their Necks; Blame Robbers for Deed. Brawley, Cal., Aug. 5.

The royal party then returned ashore, the prince accompanying them to the railway station, where there was an affectionate leave taking. The princestepped out and stood at salute with tightly drawn lips as the train pulled out for London. Then he reboarded the Renown, which sailed immediately. (Editor's Note: Governor and Mrs. McKelvie have invited the prince of Wales to visit Nebraska during his stay in the l :d States.

WEDDING TRIP ONCE DELAYED First Wife of Salesman May Withdraw Charges of Failure to Pay Alimony. Police crossed the honeymoon trail of Ralph Deveraux, Hastings, Neb. salesman, Monday night and wresting him from his bride of five days, jailed him for failing to pay alimony to a former wife. Tuesday afternoon the two Mrs. Deveraux discussed the alimony, the interrupted honeymoon and "Ralph." Mrs. Deveraux, jthe divorcee, agreed to drop the charges against her former husband. Deveraux was arrested at the Hotel Castle, where he brought his new wife from Hastings, Neb. last Friday just a few hours after the wedding ceremony. Tuesday morning he was ar raigned in police court on the charge of nonpayment of alimony and was bound over to the district court. Mrs. Deveraux broke down when she watched a policeman "mug" her former husband and take his finger prints. "It's horrible!" she declared. "It's hell," said Devereaux. And the newest Mrs. Devereaux hung up the telephone when asked about it. Later Mrs. Lura Devereaux, the first wife, begged Chief of Detec tives John Dunn for permission to see her former husband. Both wept. Then Mrs. Devereaux decided to drop the charges. They were married in Lincoln ten years ago and have three children. A divorce was granted Mrs. Lura Devereaux last November on grounds of non-support. She said Devereaux paid her the alimony granted by the court until last May.

HOARDERS OF FOODS Attorney General Palmer's Announcement First Indica tion of Government's Plan in Fight on High Prices. STANDARD WHEAT PRICE TO REMAIN $2.26 BUSHEL All Existing Law to Be Util ized and Additional Measures May Be Enacted Wilson to Send Message on Subject. Washington, Aug. 5. (By the Associated -Press.) The decision of Director Julius 1.1. Barnes of the grain corporation to maintain the government's guarantee on wheat at $2.26 a bushel as a "reserve pro tection against a higher price later" was one of the moves today by gov ernment agencies working to reduce the cost of living and allay the country's unrest. Two other decisions were reached today. President Wilson decided to ad dress a message to congress recom mending legislation to aid in reduc ing the cost of living. Agents of the Department of Jus tice were ordered to ferret out all hoarders of necessaries and profi teers throughout the country. They are to be prosecuted under the food control act. At the conclusion of a day's ic tivity by the president the substitute committee of the cabinet appointed by Attorney General Palmer and by the attorney general himself an- picmrrcements were made on these immediate steps to be taken, and o' the government's wheat policy. Promises New Flour Prices. ' In a statement showing why tht price of wheat would rise but for the government guarantee, Director Barnes promised a readjustment of flour prices at the expense of the na tional treasury as authorized by con gress, if later developments indicated a world price for wheat lowerthan the guaranteed basis. Immediate steps will be taken bv the grain corporation to sell standard export flour in every community of the country in carload lots at a price not greater than $10 a barrel, Mr. Barnes announced. This price, h added, is lower by $1 a barrel than any price ruling during the last four months. Using figures described as coming from the grain corporation's own private sources, Mr. Barnes pre dicted a shrinkage of probably 400, 000,000 bushels in the wheat produc tion, for North America, 250,000,001 bushels of which1 is in the United States, from the June forecast, and a further., shrinkage, in European wheat and rye production of 300. 000,000 bushels outside Russia. Not Discussed by Cabinet The high cost of living was not discussed at today's cabinet meeting, but Attorney General Palmer re mained after the meeting to confer with the president and presented memoranda stating what the gov ernment was doing and what it pro poses doing under existing laws, and possible additional laws to cope with the situation.
