"How they live, what they think,
what their dreams may be is gradually
unfolding in the general upheaval in

not at all be what we Americans have
pictured them.

one continuous debauch could be fur

New York, Nov. B.-Prospeets of the

were increasing today.
The capital and labor situation aris-
ing from the railroads determination to
fight the Adamson eight-hour Law was
accentuated by formation of vast Or
ganization of employers to be known as
the national industrial conference board.
This new body, representing $S,000,000,-
900 capital and employing 100000 per-
sons, proposes that industrial legisla-
ton shall be watched more closely, that
Legislators shall be guided by public in
formation and that favoritism to labor
shall be eliminated.
1t will fight such measures as the
Adamson eight-hour law; and it believes
that the election showed there is no
labor vote and hence legislators here
after need not curry favor with labor
leaders, which it claims has been done
in the past.

Will Back the Law.
By Robert J. Bender.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, Nov. 16.-The admins
tration is ready to start an aggressive
fight in behalf of the Adamson law, now
object of concerted attack by most of
the big railroads Of the country, it was
made clear today.
Belief was expressed by high officials
the efforts to enjoin the operation of
the law would fail.
1t was suggested that the government
might not confine its efforts to defen-
sive tactics, if the hope of the railroads
to prevent the oueration of the law
should appear likely of realization.
If the railroads tie up the enforce
ment of the Adamson act, the railroad
workers are expected TO strike. 1t is
the view of some Of the presidents ad-
visers that the courts would hold the
railroads responsible for interference
with interstate commerce in such eases
and would compel them to abide by the
provisions of the act.
This belief is strengthened by the
administration s claim that the Adam
son law primarily is q measure designed
to obtain a thorough and scientific in
vestigation of facts on which to base
final legislation. 1t is to be in effect
only six months, during the time of in
vestigation of the application Of the
eght-hour day. 1t can be extended only
80 days at the request of the SPECIAL com
mission appointed under it.
BY reason of the very nature of the
act, administration men are convinced,
efforts to enjoin its operation will fail.
On the other hand, it is thought, il
may be possible to enjoin "interfer.
ence" by the railroads with interstate

POPULACE ACCEPTS
FOOD CONTROL PLAN
Only Criticism Made Is Thai
Matter Has Been Too
Long Delayed
BY Ed L. Keen

Omitted Press staff cOrrespondent)
London, Nov l6.-England is unit
today in the support of the govern
ment S food dictatorship plan. Not a
newspaper or an individual, apparently
in the whole United Kingdom voiced
criticism OF the plan announced in par
Lament yesterday by Walter Runciman,
contemplating conservation of Eng
land 5 food supply. The only criticisms
heard were that the government con
troll had been over long delayed and
the preliminary plans, as announced
were insufficiently sweeping or drastic.
1t is known, however, that Runci-
man S announcement was purely pre-
liminary and that he did not reveal all
the steps of control which the govern
ment has determined upon. The food
dictatorship, it was said, may eventu-
ally outdo even the thoroughness Of the
German system.
The British people are fully prepared
for the sacrifices which 1t is realized
will be consequent upon operation or
the new plan. The public is all the
more willing to submit to the hardships
of controlled food supply in view Of
the thrilling stories OF British army
herosm now reaching here,
1t was accepted here that the first
activities of the new dictatorship
would havc-to do with limitation on the
use Of sugar in costly confectionery, Of
indiscriminate feeding to animals of
vegetables suitable for human consump-
tion and of wasteful use Of white flour
and potatoes.
Retail food prices, according to semi
official statistics available today, show
that in year there has been an in
crease of about q per cent. Prices are
now about rs per cent higher than they
were prior to the war. But on such
staples as eggs, potatoes, fish and sug-
ar, the prices have nearly doubled.
