Cost Of White Paper
Stirs Printers Union

Baltimore, Nd, Aug. 1+.-''Some
thing more substantial than perfume
tory investigation, of the increased
cost of white paper was demanded OF
congress here today at the opening ses
sion of the sixty second annual con
vention of the International Typo
graphical Union.
"Ths grip of the rising paper mar,
ket is throttling the life. out of many
struggling newspapers and commercial
printing houses" said President Mars
den G.. Scott in his annual report to the
convention.
That hundreds of public schools arc
giving instructions in printing which is
harmful to the public and the trade
was charged by delegates to the con
vention.
Printers during the year earned net
wages of $l,0+l $50 according 10 Presi'

House and that, you know is equivalent
to an ORDER" he said. "We have no
reason now to change our attitude. The
men have refused to do anything and
the failure to get together is a result
of this refusal -
care you all ready for strike?"
he was asked.
"We are ready" he answered, "but
no two railroad managers agree as to
what course to pursue, some of us ia
voring putting white lead ON the en-
gines and storing them away. 1t is
question whether we are sufficiently
ready to prevent paralysis OF bust
ness. -
Asked directly if the situation APP
peared pessimistic the speaker replied:
"Well, the men are talking strike
pretty strong today"
The speaker said the managers are
willing to submit to outside adjudiea-
tion, though he did not appear hopeful
that the president would offer anything
TO avert trouble.

Transcontinental
Shippers Protest

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE suspension
board of the Interstate Commerce com
mission today heard representatives of
5s4 transcontinental shippers in petit
tion for suspension of proposed in
creased coast to coast freight rates. The
increases followed recent decision of
the commission restoring transcontinen-
tai rates which were lower than rates
to intermediate inter-mountain territory
than through to the coast, by certain
prescribed percentages. The roads, in
stead of lowering the intermediate rates
to conform to the commission IS order,
raised the trans-continental rates to the
percentage point. The shippers contend
grant authority for the increases.

Member Of Colony Is
Visiting In Salem

j. p. Warner. a former resident of
Salem, but who has been for the past
year member of the Del Rio Llano
colony in southern California, is in the
city, attending to business matters. He
reports the Del Rio colony flourish
ing and after his one years exper-
ience, is entirely satisfied with the in
vestment. Eighteen industries are now
established in the colony including
canneries and the manufacture of al
most everything the stockholders need.
A newspaper has lately been estab-
lished, and according to Mr.. Warner,
$4,000 fruit trees were planted this
spring.
The colony is now organized with a
$500O,000 stock. To become a mem
ber, one must buy $1,000 worth of
stock, paying down $1,000 cash. The
uniform wages of all is "a day, one
dollar of which is applied to paying on
stock, and So credited at the colony
store. Although there has been no
cash paid to members, according to
Mr.. Warner, the management of the
colony will soon begin allowing each
member a certain amount in cash for
his labor. After attending to his bust
ness in the city, he will return to the
colony, which now has a membership
of between 800 and 900.

West Can Stand 1t.

indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 14.-lf a
general railroad strike is called the
middle west need fear no shortage Of
food supplies as the network of inter
urban lines will be able to move suf-
ficient foodstuffs to take care of all
of the larger cities with possibly the
exception of Chicago, said officials of
the traction lines terminating in this
city today.
"Ten years ago a general railroad
strike would have tied up the middle
west but today with the extensive in
terurban lines almost every section can
be reached" said one traction official.
Both traction officials and employees
declare there is no danger of walk
out of interurban operatives.

TRA|NMEN CONFER
Continued from Page ~

talk with the representatives of the
railway managers, which was scheduled
for p. m. The president spent part
of the intervening time going over the
stenographic report of the morning ses-
sion in order to formulate proposals to
make to the managers.
Reach Basis for Agreement.
An apparently well authenticated re-
port that preceded the conclusion of the
morning conference to the effect
that the employees would agree to arbi-
tration of the case, provided the rail
roads agreed to withdraw their coun-
ter proposals, and that the RAILROAD
managers had so agreed. Following the
conference none of the employees rep
resentatives would confirm this report.
These counter proposals were that
any discussion should include a wage
readiustment of rules and regulations on
which present wages are based. The
railroad managers contend it is essential
that the whole matter be taken up, since
it obviously would be unfanr to have
the old rules and regulations govern the
proposed new wage basis.
Several of the representatives, as
they left the executive mansion waved
their hats TO the newspapermen-50 of
them-awaiting outside. There was no
indication the men felt discouraged as
the result of their conference.
Garretson s face was flushed and he
mopped it with his handkerchief, but
he was smiling. Immediately after the
men left Judge Chambers returned to
the White House for another confer
enee.

Boston, Mass, Aug. 14.-The myster

Will Consult Board First.

Washington, Aug. 14.-Representa-
tives of the four brotherhoods and a
score of railroad managers arrived in
Washington early today prepared to
confer with President Wilson in an eff
fort to avert a general strike on virtu
ally all the great railroads of the coun
try.
Secretary Tumulty, who yesterday
carried a message from the president to
the conferees in New York asking a
voice in the threatened crisis, arrived
at the same time. After a conference
with the president he said all engage
ments at the White House had been
cancelled for the day and the president
would give his undivided attention to
the claims of the conflicting interests,
Before meeting the men the president
planned to hear from Judge Chambers
of the federal board of mediation and
conciliation, full report of the board
in New York, which resulted in the rail
road employees refusing mediation or ar
bitration, or as Judge Knapp of tho
board said, "any other plan or method
for peaceful settlement of the con
troversv."
In spite of the apparent absolute
deadlock in the negotiations there was
a strong belief among administration
officials that the president would be
able to work out a solution of the prob
lem.
Chambers is Hopeful.
Judge Chambers said:
"The president is vested with great
er powers than we. he has sources of
direct appeal which only he can use with
full effect. / am hopeful and conf
dent that when he talks with the men
interested in this dispute he will bring
about satisfactory settlement. / be-
lieve he will.'
As to the relative merits of the con
tentions OF the parties, Judge Chambers
would not commit himself. The other
members of the federal board did not
come to Washington, but remained in
New York subject to call.
Representatives of the brotherhoods
declined to discuss the possibility of the
president S appeal in any way. They
asserted the blame for the present dead
lock lies in the determination of the
railway managers to drag into the argu'
ment contentious unrelated to their de.
mands. They also declared the railroads
were indifferent in their attitude
and not inclined to meet the employees
half way.
Representatives of the railways were
equally non.committal over the prospect
of peace. They declared they had of.
fered to mediate or arbitrate without
success.
May Last All Day.
The president arranged to see each
side alone first, getting the different
points of view and giving his own. Aft
er this both parties were expected TO
hold secret conferences. later probably

this final meeting, il probably will be
