START HEARINGS
 STEAMSHIP BILL House Committee Will Listen To Bus mess Men Before Passing
 the Measure.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-The House committee on shipping today started the hearings on the admin istration shipping bill, which would authorize the organization of $10,- 100000 steamship company with the government as the majority owner and always having full control and direction of the operations of the company.

 Help the Poor.

NEW YORK, Aug. 28.-Five people starved to death yesterday on the East Side of New York and a num- Der have been taken to the hospitals in an effort to save their lives.

The price of bread has gone upward, while the manufacturers are laying of many hands because of the changed condi- tions following the war in Europe.
 Many grocery stores have been closed as the people cannot pay the high prices demanded by the grocers In spite of the fact that shipments to Europe have been less the past month than at any time in the past ten years, the prices of foods have gone steadily upward, sugar selling for almost double the price of July: flour and corn and other staples the same and imported goods are almost all oil the market.
 The threat of federal probe has done little to aid the starving peo- pie.

BUTTE, Mont, Aug. 2S.-The in- surgent miners who have organized a new union in opposition to the West ern Federation of Miners yesterday captured forty miners of the old un- ion and forced them to parade through the streets to the new union hall, where they were compelled to join the new union.
