RAIL STRIKE THREATENS TO SPREAD
TO $4,000 MENIN WESTERN SHOPS

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-Spread of the pro-
posed strike of the four brotherhoods to
$4,000 shopmen on nineteen Western rail-
roads threatened today as executives of
Chicago railroads began assembling this
morning at the Chicago Club to discuss
plans to fight the brotherhoods.
The shopmen have begun negotiations
with road officials in ten Western cities.
They are asking for an increase of cents
an hour, amounting to S4.200,O00 a year.
The conferences now on are believed to
be the result of the secret meeting of shop
chairmen held week ago in Kansas City
to formulate plans to join in the eight-hour
movement of the four brotherhoods.
Western railroads will not try TO fight
strike of the brotherhoods SINGLE
handed. This was learned today as the
officials were preparing 10 meet They
will pool their resources for the benefit of
the country, which they say can be saved
from grave suffering only by drastic and
concerted action.
Big detectives agencies admitted today
they have recruited about 1000 strike
breakers. Several agencies say they have
unlimited orders to hire as many men as
they can find.

In order to get a postponement of the
strike order, should there be difficulty en-
countered in the Senate whose rules prevent
cloture methods, it is the intention of the
President and the Democratic leaders to
pledge passage of the eight-hour law and
insist that the strike be called off.
SO far the brotherhood chiefs have re-
fused to say whether they will do this.

HIGH COST OF LIVING WILL SOAR
AS RESULT OF EMBARGO BY ROADS

NEW YORK, Aug. 31-The high cost OF
living throughout the United States prob
ably will take an upward bound within the
next 4s hours as a result of the embargo
declared upon perishable freight by the rail-
roads in anticipation OF a strike. The New
York CentraPs embargo on pershable
freight and live stock goes into effect at
midnight Thursday, while that of the Penn
sylvania will become operative tomorrow.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad today
announced an embargo on all freight of any
description from all points TO all destna-
tions. effective after the close of business

poultry, fruits and vegetables, as we'll as live

be compelled to cease operations.
The first increase in price for food is
expected TO appear in the meat markets, to
be followed almost Immediately by a boost
in the cost of fruit and vegetables. Several
dairy companies recently increased the price
OF milk, and this occasion may be seized
for another increase,

lied the situation had largely disappeared

arise.
SHOULD there be a considerable inter-
ruption in train service one of our first
thoughts will be regarding the prompt
movement of food for human consumption
and then fuel for public purposes. Such
passenger trains as may be necessary will
be operated, but food will come first.
"At the moment we do not contemplate
shutting off the general movement of freight
in anticipation of trouble. Our line is in a
normal condition just now and we will
endeavor to keep It so.
I'VE will make every effort to limit
strike to such Interruptions to train service
as cannot possibly be avoided and all other
work will be carried on as usual"
FEAR SHORTAGE OF COAL.
From large manufacturing concerns in
New York and In other large cities came
reports that shortage of coal, with conse-
quent stoppage of manufactures, may be
more serious outgrowth of the threatened
strike than the food problem.
John j. Dillon, State Commissioner of
Foods and Markets, today was prepared to
sell milk direct from producers upstate and
nearby States direct to the consumer. He
announced he had contracts with dairymen
owning 100000 of the 25O,O00 cows which
supply Greater New York with milk He
proposes to use automobiles and river
steamboats, for transportation of the milk.
