the time for objection to the new
rate by the city expires.
Only four commissioners were
present when the council voted
down the resolution introduced by
Mayor Smith. This resolution di
rected Corporation Counsel Lam
bert to notify the supreme court
that the city council of Omaha will
not oppose the 7-cent fare ordered
Wednesday by the State Railway
commission.
Commissioners Zimman and But
ler voted in opposition to the reso
lution and Mayor Smith and Com
missioner Towl in favor of it.
When informed of the action of
the council. Assistant General
Manager Leussler of the company
exclaimed: "It is very unfor
' tunate. -If everyone sits tight and
nothing is conceded on either side
a strike is imminent."
'.During the voting by the city
commissioners Mr. Falconer, though
in the city, was not present.
After the meeting the mayor stat-
ed that if Commissioner Falconer
notifies him that he is in favor of
the resolution he will call a special
council meeting to take another
vote on the matte'r.
"The action of Mr. Butler and Mr.
Ziruman in voting down my resolu
tion may precipitate a street car
strike," said the mayor after the
meeting.
"The men Cannot get their in
increase to 55 cents an hour until
the new rate of fare goes into effect,
and the new fare cannot go into ef
fect next Sunday unless this council
notifies the supreme court that it
will interpose no objections."
Expires on August 24.
The mandate of the supreme court
ordering the state railway commis
sion to give the street railway com
pany a higher fare rate was handed
down about a month ago. The city
ha&3gjdays from that time to object.
The lo days will expire August 24.
The mayors' resolution was as fol
lows: "Whereas, the state railway com
mission has made an order permit
ting an increase in street railway
.fares which requires the consent of
this council in order to become ef
fective immediately,
"Be it resolved that Mr. Lambert,
representing the city council, be au
thorized to take such action as may
be necessary to enable the company
to' make its order effective im
mediately. t "Resolved, further, that in the in
terests of the public this council
urge and insist that any contention
between the street railway company
and its employes over the wage
scale or working conditions be ad
" 'justed fairly and equitably to all par
ties by conferences between them
selves and that this be done without
any discontinuance of street car
service or inconvenience to the pub
lic at large."
"1 voted against the resolution of
the mayor because the company and
the men have not agrecdon a wage
scale," said Mr." Zimman. "I pointed
out to the men Wednesday night
that 55 cents an hour is a mighty
good rate of pay. I have 75 appli
cations for positions on the fire de
partment. and those men start in at
less than that figure. )
''At the same time. I think the
company should not get so much of
the increased revenue as will give
them money to pay dividends on ex
cess stock. , ,

20 Drown in Collision
. "Off Island of St. Pierre
- Halifax, Aug. 7. Twenty persons
art believed to have lost their, lives
when the schooner. Gallia was sunk
last night in a collision with the
British steamer War Witch. The
schooner is reported to have carried
a crew of at least 15 and possibly
a dozen passengers, and only seven
survivers are named in wireless
messages from the steamer. The
collision occurred close to St. Pierre
and is supposed to have been caused
by the heavy fog.
The War Witch was bound for
North "Sydney from Wabana, N. F..
while the Gallia was on its way to
St Pierre from France. News of
the catastrophe reached here in
wireless messages to the agents of
the War Witch.
Wilson Asked to Make

lution introduced today by Chairman
Campbell of the rules committee,
and Senator McCormick, republican,
Illinois, to submit not later than
December 1 such reductions in esti
mates of government expenditures
as wtll permit a reduction of $l,uou,

With four states already taking
steps for the prosecution of profit
eers in food products, and other
states expected to follow shortly, a
rapid reduction in the high cost of
living is looked for in the middle
west immediately. '
Governor McKelvie of Nebraska
has asked the state officials what
steps should be taken and will con
fer with the secretary of state and
other officials next Friday. Gov.
Henry 'J. Allen of Kansas and At
torney General H. J. Hopkins have
conferred and have decided to make
prosecutions under the anti-profiteering
law, passed by the last Kan
sas legislature.
Iowa county attorneys will confer
"at Des Moines with Gov. W. L.
Harding on the question of prosecu
tion of profiteers, while in Oklaho
ma City Gov. J. B. A. Robertson will
meet Oklahoma county attorneys.
Other steps taken by state offi
cials include:
Attorney General F. W. McAles
ter of Missouri has asked Clifford L.
Hilton, attorney general of Minne
sota and president of the Attorney
Generals' association, to make the
high cost of living a matter for
special consideration of the state
attorneys at their regular meeting
in Boston, September 2.
A sweeping investigation of the
costs of meats and other foods has
been ordered by the Oklahoma State
Board of Agriculture. President J.
A. Whitehurst has ordered the state
marketing commission to conduct
the probe. Governor Robertson has
indicated a willingness to call a
special session of the legislature to
take necessary steps in prosecuting
profiteers.
Combinations Blamed.
While the Nebraska governor is
said to hold that prosecution is a
matter of federal, rather than state,
action, he has taken steps to stop
profiteering within the state. He
says:
, "Profiteering is largely the result
of combinations and agreements
made in connection with interstate
commerce, and these are entirely
beyond the control of state authori
ties." Mayor James Cowgill of Kansas
City has placed the distribution of
the army surplus food in the hands
of the Loyal Order of Moose, and
they are preparing to handle the
matter at once.
In Omaha, the city commission
authorized the expenditure of $10,-
000 in buying food supplies to be re
sold at cost to the public. At a
meeting of the commission, a sug
gestion was made by two commis
sioners to order an investigation to
learn if prices were too high. The
mayor shouted, "Not on your life.
1 demand action now. Help the
people first, then investigate."
The Ismert-Hincke Milling com
pany of Kansas City, with branches
in several states, has made a reduc
tion of 60 cents in the wholesale
price of flour, and they predict an
other drop of that amount. The
Southwestern Milling C6. of Kansas
City has dropped 40 cents. Other
mills either made slight decreases
in their wholesale prices, or else
"sat tight" awaiting action.
Drop Won't Affect Bread.
On the other hand, the drop in
flour prices will have no effect on
the retail price of bread, according
to several Kansas Gty bakers. The
bakeries have a 60-day supply of
flour on hand, and until that is
used, no drop will be made in the
retail price.
Hogs on all markets west of Chi
cago have dropped, and will con
tinue to drop. Other cattle will
drop, because of the food agitation,
it is said.
A serious shortage of sugar, due
to several causes, faces this section
of the country, according to Kansas
City jobbers. The H. D. Lee Mer
cantile company, with branches at
Saline, Omaha and other cities, is
entirely out of sugar, according to
E. E. Euston.
Freight congestion, not only in
Kansas City but in other places, is
given as one of the contributing
reasons for the shortage. The yards
are congested with incoming and
outgoing freight and the condition
has been aggrevated by the strike of
shopmen.
According to John C. Lester of
the Ridenour-Baker Co. the sugar
refineries are unable to refine sugar
fast enough to fill orders.
An increase in sugar is predicted
by Mr. Euston, who says:
"The price may go to IS cents
before the return to normal condi
tions. We expect to pay $13 a bag
for what we buy in the near future."
RAIL STRIKERS
TOLD BY WILSON
President Announces He Will
Decide Demands ' for
Increased Wages on
Their Merits.
PRICES FALL
WITH CRASH
ON EXCHANGE
Many Disturbing Rumors Lead
to an Orgy of
Selling.
New York, Aug. 7. Prices fell
with a crash in the last hour of
trading on the Stock exchange
Thursday. Reactions of 5 to almost
20 points from the best quotations
of the session were accompanied by
many disturbing rumors and led to
an orgy of selling.
Reports from Washington to the
effect that President Wilson's ad
dress before congress would deal
summarily with profiteers were sup
plemented by rumors that action
contemplated by the Department ot
Justice would involve many indus
trial corporations which flourished
during the war.
Apprehension was heightened also
by the attitude of the railroad
brotherhoods, whose representa
tive before the house interstate
commerce committee gave utter
ance to serious accusations against
Wall street "interests".
Another disturbing feature was
the further collapse of French ex
change to a point never before, re
corded in this market, bills on Par
is falling to levels where they rep
resented a discount of 33 per cent
from par.
The one reassuring feature was
the ease of money. Call loans were
in free supply at less than 5 per
cent, while moderate amounts of
time money, were offered for the
first time in many weeks at 7 per
cent. 4
Aside from its irregularity, the
market gave no hint of demoraliza
tion until heavy offerings of United
States Steel and other leaders
caused recessions of 1 to 2 points
between sales.
Lobsters are said to have a great
dread of thunder, and when peals

hope the governor goes the limit."
City Crippled, Says Mayor.
Mayor Smith voices the same
sentiment.
"The city," he said, "is crippled
for the reason that the only law
under which profiteers can be prose
cuted, is that which pertains to con
spiracy to raise prices artificially.
Unless it could be proved that there
is a combination or a conspiracy
among individuals artificially to
force upward the price of foods,
rents, or whatever the matter may
be, it was useless to press the case."
At the Federal building James H.
Daly, chief of local Department of
Justice, hejd a conference Thurs
day with Assistant United States
Attorney Peterson concerning the
program to be adopted locally in
the hunt for hoarders and profiteers.
The department is prepared to
wage at once an intensive campaign
through the city and county.
"The entire machinery of the gov
ernment has been thrown into this
thing," Attorney Peterson said. "We
are out for a finish fight and only
hope that everyone who has a
shred of evidence against profiteer
ing will come to this office with it.
We are prepared to punish as well
as investigate."
Payne Chosen Chairman

Washington, Aug. 7. Judge John
Barton Payne of Chicago was

istration cannot deal with a prob
lem of this sort or with any prob
lems affecting the men, except
through the duly chosen interna
tional officers of the regularly con
stituted organization and their au
thorized committee's.
Men Create Chief Obstacle.
"Matters of so various a nature
and affecting so many men cannot
be dealt with except m this way.
Any action which brings the author
ity of the authorized representatives
of the organization' into question or
discredits it, must interfere with if
not prevent action altogether. The
chief obstacles to a decision has
been created by the men themselves.
They have gone out on strike and
repudiated, the authority of their
officers at the very moment when
they wereytirging action in regard
to various interests.
"You will remember that a con
ference between yourself and the
authorized representatives of the
men was'arranged at the instance
of these representatives for July 28,
to discuss the wage question and
the question of a national agree
ment, but before this conference
took place or cquld take place, local
uoaies ot railway snopmen tooK ac
tion looking toward a strike on the
1st of August As a result of this
action, various strikes actually took
place before there was an oppor
tunity to act in a satisfactory or
conclusive way with respect to the
wages. In the presence of these
strikes and the repudiation of the
authority of the representatives of
the organization concerned there
can be no consideration ot the mat
ter in the controversy until the em
ployes return to work and again
recognize the authority of their or
ganization, the whole matter must
be at a standstill. ,
Accepted Agreements. j
"When federal control of the rail
roads began, the railroad adminis
tration accepted existing agree
ments between the shopmen's or
ganization and the several railroad
companies, and by agreement ma
chinery was created for handling the
grievances of the shopmen's organ
ization of all the railways, whether
they had heretofore had the bene
fits of definite agreements or not.
There can be no question, therefore,
of the readiness of the government
to deal in a spirit of fairness and
by regular methods with any mat
ters the men may bring to their at
tention. "Concerned and very careful con
fideration is being given by the en
tire government to the question of
reducing the high cost of living. I
need hardly point out hovy inti
mately and directly this matter af
fects every individual in the nation,
and if transportation is interrupted
it will be impossible to ' solve it.
This is a time when every employe
of the railways should help to make
the processes of transportation
more easy and economical, rather
than less, and employes who are on
strikes and deliberately delaying a
settlement of their wage problems
and of their standard of living.
They Nshould promptly return to
work, and I hope that you will
urge upon their representatives the
immediate necessity for their doing
so.
"Cordiallv and sincerely yours,
"WOODROW WILSON."
Hines Notifies Unions.
Director General Hines notified
! the uniorts immediately that the rail
road administration was ready to
take up. the question, as soon as the
employes return to work. In a let
ter to B. M. Jewell, president of the
railway employes department of the
American Federation of Labor, Mr.
Hines said:
"I enclose a letter which I have
Rapid Easing of H. C. of L. RETURN TO WORIUSffi.v-CT
importance not onlv in the interest
of the oublic but in the interest of
the employes themselves that they
shall immediately return to work.
The situation having been clarified
by the definite indication that con
gress does not wish to take action
in the premises, the railroad admin
istration stands ready to take up tne
watre Question on its merits with
the duly accredited international of?
ficers and their authorized commit
tee as soon as the employes return
to work.
The effect of the president's de
cision, it was believed, "would be to
put a sudden end to sporadic strikes
throughout the country, denounced
as illegal by union officials, but in
volving perhaps 80.000 men. It was
taken for granted also that the
menace of a general strike to compel
higher wages to meet increased liv
ing costs likewise was removed by
the president s action.
If Director General Hines orders
an increase in wages, since the rail
road administration now is operat
ing at a loss, either an advance in
rates or a congressional appropria
tion will be necessary to provide the
money. The 14 principal railroad
unions in a joint communication to:
the director general have suggested
the latter.
Asked 25 Per Cent Increase.
Wage demands were submitted by
the 500,000 shopmen last February,
but other pressing matters before
the board of wages and working
conditions affecting employes who
had not previously received con
sideration delayed a decision until
July 16, and then the boajd divided,
three holding that the increases
should not be granted and three
holding that additional nay was
justified.
The amount asked was 25 per
cent. Conferences between the
shopmen's officers and the director
general were arranged, but even be
fore they could be held, men began
to go on strike, which led the presi
dent to devote a considerable por
tion of his letter to condemning
their hasty action which violated
all agreements. ,
Other unions also put in demands
for more pay, with the exception of
the engineers, who said they pre
ferred a reduction in the cost of
living.
Thre was no indication tonight
as to how Mr. Hines would proceed
to the settlement of the wage de
mands. In view of the wage board's
previous consideration of the ques
tion, it was believed that a new
tribunal would be constituted for
the purpose, with equal representa
tion for labor, the railroads and the
public.

pressed today by Glenn E. Plumb,
counsel for railway brotherhoods, in
urging enactment by congress of a
bill drawn by him for public owner
ship of railroads. f
This gloomy view of' conditions
was given by Mr. riumb near the
close of a five-hour appearance on
the witness stand, during which he
charged systematic plundering ol
the transportation highways of the
country, and denied that he. had
come forward with tne Plumb plan
fof solving railway evils at this time
in order to link it up with the high
cost of living, on. which the nation's
attention has turned.,-.
Mr. Plumb apparrtly was cog
nizant of the rurrtofs sweeping
through the capital ithat he had
picked an unusually propitious time
for presenting his bill, which organ

down the living cost through reduc

Radical Change Wanted.
But it was while speaking through
he country in its behalf, the witness
declared, that he found an over
whelming sentiment for radical
change from the old system of
railroad control. There was no
doubt, he said, of great industrial
unrest, due to the mounting cost of
living. Pressed for an explanation
of his statement that lie would not
be surprised to see anything happen,
the witness said this did not mean
halting, of business activities, great
destruction of industry or a cata
clysm but the feeling in the minds
of millions of workers was that
something had to be done quickly in
their behalf.
"The feeling of unrest," lie de
clared with earnestness, "is accentu

PROMISE STRIKE
UNLESS MILITIA
IS WITHDRAWN
Representatives of 42 Union
Locals of Chicago Stock
Yards Employes Issue
Ultimatum.
(By the Associated Press.)
Chicago. Aug. 7. Representatives
of 42 locals of stock yards employes
voted Thursday night for a general
strike Friday unless militia, police-,
men and deputy sheriffs are with
drawn from the yards. More than
100,000 persons are employed in the
stock yards.
A strike was virtually begun to
day when hundreds of white men
quit their work after about 3,000 of
the 15.000 negro workers returned
to work under troop protection, fol
lowing virtual exile of more than
a week due to the race riots. Union
men declared their objections based
on the presence of the guards, and
that while they held no prejudice
against the negro's color, the ma
jority of the negroes were non
union. While union men said about
5,000 men had walked out, packing
house officials placed the number at
about 650.
Previous to the strike vote of the
local representatives, officials of the
stock yards labor council held a
conference with Judge Alshuler,
federal arbitrator in the stock yard
controversies. It is known that the
negro situation was discussed and
it is believed that the judge's aid
in having the guards withdrawn was
sought.
While the grand jury continued
to hear evidence in the riot cases
and voted indictments against 23
more negroes, making a total of 54
negroes indicted, thus far, there was
little evidence of race feeling in the
riot zones. Two Mexicans were in
jured in the stock yards neighbor
hood, both supposedly mistaken for
negroes.
A negro who was beaten during
the rioting, died Thursday, makinig
a total of 36 dead.
