 FOR M'C0MbS' JOB
Will Be Chairman of Ma tiOnal Committee and Man
 age Wilson's Campaign

Washington, June 15.-Vance Me- Cormick of Pennsylvania has been se- lected by President Wilson to succeed William F. McCombs as chairman of the democratic national committee. Ad- ministration leaders in St. Louis were notified today by the President
 It is believed here that MT. McCor- mick will be able to solidify the party and harmonize different elements. The President looks upon him as progres sive and thoroughly in harmony with his ideas of how the coming campaign should be run.
 The democratic national committee elects its chairman, but there is no doubt that the Presidents choice will be formally ratified.
 MT. McCombs announced months ago that he would not undertake the di- rection of the campaign this year and the party leaders have been awaiting with keen interest the Presidents se- lection of a man for the task.
 Vance Cryswell Mccormick, who is native of Harrisburg and A years of age. owns the Harrisburg morning newspaper, the fdtr1Ol, and has been identified with democratic politics since his youth. He was mayor from 1902 to 1905 and this year was the partys candidate for governor.
 St. Louis, June 15.-Word was re, ceived from Washington this afternoon that the election of the following of- ficers of the new democratic national committee would be agreeable to Pres ident Wilson:
 Vance Mccormick of Pennsylvania, chairman; Homer Cummings, national committeeman of Connecticut, vice chairman; Representative Carter Glass of Virginia, secretary; W. W. Marsh, national committeeman of Iowa, treas urer, and Fred B. Lynch, national com- mitteeman of Minnesota, the chairman of the executive committee
 The new committee may meet for purposes of organization tomorrow.
 Vice Chairman Cummings said he had received a telegram from President Wilson giving the names of the sug- gested officers. MT. Cummings said that the choice of officers was very pleasing to the committeeman.
 '"The choice of MT. Mccormick as chairman is an excellent one,' said MT. Cummings. We will probably hold a session of the committee on Satur- day for purposes of organization and election of officers

STRIKE VOTE DECIDED ON

The leaders and the 500 delegates of the four brotherhoods of trainmen, en- gineers, firemen and conductors who at tended the conference decided on the necessity for the strike vote at a secret meeting following the break.
 A. B. Garretson, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Conductors, an nounced later that the ballot will be drafted tonight and distributed to all railroad men, whether members of the br otherhoods or not, before the close of next week.
 W eeks, the leaders agreed, and before August 1 the result will be known. If the men vote for a general strike the leaders will return here and again pre- sent the demand of the men to the rail- roads in an effort either to gain their demands in full or compromise offer without the necessity of putting the strike actually into effect.
 Elimination of the double compensa ton rules" the railroad men contend, would not only impair but limit their earning power. It would wipe out wage increases that the men have fought and gained during the last 25 years from in dividual railroad systems, they assert The monthly remuneration of certain en- gineer5 would be reduced by s75. they claim, while certain firemcn would suf- fer cuts averaging $3O to $40 per month.
 Whereas under the present rules, the men state an engineer or brakeman, for example. now receives pay for two full days for performing a duty other than that prescribed in his class of work within one working day of 10 hours. under the railroads tentative compromise offer he would receive pay for only one day and eight hours and the new overtime rate for overtime, no matter what the varie- ties of duties assignd him.

Wage Conference of Rail-
 ways and Men Fails
TO VOTE ON STRIKE
Railways Will, if Men Vote Favora- bly,, Then Be Given Another Oppor- tunity to Meet the Mems De-
 mands Before Strike Is Called

New York, June 15.-More than 100000 union and nonunion railroad workers of America will vote within a month on the advisa bility of calling general strike to enforce their demands for an eight-hour da. and time and one-half for overtime as result of the failure by represent tatives of the railroads and the men to rea oh a settlement here today after a two weeks conference
 Hope of adjusting the dispute through the conference faded when the railroads submitted a tentative compromise offer to the men, granting their demands, but eliminating the majority of existing double compensation rules. The con ference adjourned yesterday to give the railroad managers opportunity to discuss further their stand on this point but Wken they met the men today they not only refused to make a specific offer covering the compensation rules, but ad- vised that their differences be submitted either to the interstate commerce com mission or to board of arbitration to operate under the provisions of the New lands act. The men declined both of fers and the decision to take strike vOta followed .i

SPECULATION FOR

More Wheat Sold Than Exists
Declares Anderson,

CHICAGO, Dec. S-lIigh food
prices are due chiefly to speculation,

"The result of these conditions often
is that more wheat IS sold than ac-

OF the value OF the wheat exported is
stolen from the farmer Just prices
will only prevail when the Spcculator'
are forced to limit their sales strictly
