ANXIOUS FOR

Commission Named to Investi-
gate Recent Labor Disturb
ances In West and on the
Pacific Coast.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. - Labor
troubles on the Pacific coast and the
western mountain states will be in
vestigated by a special commission,
headed by Secretary Wilson, appoint
ed today by President Wilson to rep
resent him personally.
Will Leave Soon.
The commission will leave soon
and probably will spend several weeks
in the west comforting with labor,
leaders. employers, |. w. w. agents,
state governors and others who can
shed light on past disagreements, or
exert influence for future industrial
harmony. The president, in his an
nouncement, said he is anxious sto
learn the truth of the charges of in
justice made by employers and labor
out some fair basis for avoiding the
interference of labor disputes with in
dustry during the war. In addition
to the strikes in Pacific coast ship
building plants it is understood spec
ial attention will be given to charges
of American Federation of Labor Of
ficials that employers in Arizona have
encouraged and even financed l. w.
w. activities for the sake of discredit-
ing the labor movement among min
ers and other employees. Recent de-
portation of workers also will be the
subject of inquiry.
The following memorandum from
the president for the secretary of labor
was made public:
President Interested.
81 am very much interested in the
labor situation in the mountain region
and on the Pacific coast. l have
listened with attention and concern
to the numerous charges of miscon-
duct and injustice that representa-
tives of both employers and employees
have made against each other. | am
not so much concerned, however, with
the manner in which they have treat

sirous of seeing some kind of a work

ture. particularly during the period
of the war, on a basis that will be
fair to all parties concerned.

SHORTAGE OF
FOOD IS BIG
Peril IN THE
PRESENT WAR
Baron Rhondda, Food Con-
troller of Great Britain, An
nounces New Economy
Campaign. Tells of Needed
Cooperation.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

LONDON Sept. 2O.-Inauguartion
of a new food economy campaign in
Great Britain was announced today by
Baron Rhondda. the food controller.
Baron Rhondda said the danger of
the situation did not lie in the sub
marine peril, but in the worlds short
age of cereals. meats and fats.
Maximum Requirements.
Baron Rhondda made this statement
to the American correspondents here.
after telling them that the minimum
foodstuff requirements from the Uni
ted States and Canada during the
forthcoming II months would be more
than 100000 tons. representing an
appropriation of e25O,OOO.OO.
Cooperation Necessary.
Most of the money is to be spent
in the United States for cereals. hog
products, sugar and meat" said Baron
Rhondda. 'In view of the figures, it
is necessary to emphasize the vital
importance of the closest cooperation
between Mr.. Hoover, the American
controller, Mr.. Hanna, food controller
for Canada. and myself. Several steps
i nthis direction have been taken. The
first is the formation by France, Italy
and Great Britain of a meats and fats
executive. In the future all entente
purchases of bacon, ham, lard and but
ter and cheese in the United States
will be pooled through this executive.
thus eliminating competitive buying
between the allies.
New York Buying End.
"Our buying organization in New
York is receiving invaluable co-opera-
tion frob Mr. Hoover OF course,
emergency measures such as those
of today entail inconvenience and
sacrifices but | am glad to say that
packers and agents here and on The
other side are showing every disposi-
ton to cooperate. Agencies to the
pool of our foodstuffs may be estab-
Lshed before long.
Economies Imperitive.
Il hope the exportable surplus of
Canadian and American primary food
stuffs will be much larger than the
present estimates, rs the result OF
food economies by which the United
States and Canadian homes are help
ing to win the war just as surely as
is the production of munitions Baron
Rhondda said. Every American wo-
man is in a position to bring the in.
