their appearance some time during
the period when the United States and

Recommends General Purposes
of Original Food Control Bill
in Response to Request for
Assistance.

Washington, July 13.-President
Wilson today came to the support OF
the administration food control bill
as originally submitted to congress.
In response to request from sem
ate leaders for assistance in solving
the difficulties standing in the way
of action there, the president sent to
Democratic Leader Martin a person.
al letter recommending the general
purposes of the original bill for gov
eminent control of foods feeds and

unnecessary the extension of govern
ment control as proposed in amend
ments attached In congress to steel,
iron, copper, cotton. wool, leather
and other products.
The substitute bill drawn by Sena-
tor Gore was opposed by the presi-
dent as an emasculation of the ad-
ministration legislation. He wrote
that he considered prompt final dis
position of the legislation imperative.
Doesn't Discuss Prohibition.
The presidents letter, which was
not made public, is understood not
to have discussed prohibition. Upon
reliable authority, however, it was
said that in his conference yesterday
with the senate leaders, the presi-
dent expressed disagreement with the
Smoot amendment. adopted by the
senate last week, directing purchase
by the government of all stocks of
distilled beverages in bond at cost
plus 10 per cent.
Upon receipt of the president s
letter, administration leaders pre-
pared to secure action along the lines
suggested.

some other event prevents, Leadviile'5
zinc and other mines will be the scene
of a strike commencing tomorrow
morning. Three thousand men are
involved.
Federal mediators who have been
trying for the last few days to avert
the shutdown of the mines, whose
output is an important factor in the
manufacture of munitions, virtually
have abandoned hope of preventing a
strike.
The situation here is tense. Senti-
ment among citizens of the town. IN
Guiding older miners who have spent
years and acquired property here, is
bitterly opposed to a strike. There
have been many rumors afloat or this
or that untoward event about to oc-
cur, many of which mention that Il
large number of the prospective strik-
ers are Austrians. There are some
evidences that not all the facts in
connection with certain events have
been permitted to become public. A
citizens committee" has been organ
lied here.
Governments Attitude Not Known.
There is believed to be little likeli-
hood that the tentative proposal of
mine owners here that their proper
ties be taken over by the government
will be accepted. Whether all the
mine owners, some of whom live else
where, have agreed to this proposal
| is not known here. Their agreement
was one of the conditions on which
it was made. Nothing has reached
here from Washington concerning the
governments attitude on the ques-
ton.

Although the union men in the

applies particularly to the younger
miners.

Every man who has subscribed or
who will subscribe to the Albuquerque
Commercial Club Building corporation
Is true civic patriot. Such man is
proud of his city and does not wish to
see its most representative organiza-
ton bear the stigma of foreclosure,
regardless of his legal or moral Obii-
cations i'm the matter"
d. S. Rosenwald read the resolu-
tion, in which the ratification of the
directors recent action was incorpo-
rated. The reason given for the step
was that the club has not sufficient
income to pay the interest on its debts
and has not means of paying the prin-
ciple and accrued interest except by
the sale of the property"
Louis Ilfeld, seconded by Dave
Weinman, moved that the resolution
be adopted. b. S. Rodey asked for
discussion, declaring that unless a
provided for the transaction would
amount simply to a sale to the new
corporation for 100000, while he be-
lieved that the property was consid-
cred to be worth about 100000.
Mr.. Oestreich brought out the fact
that since there is an interest pay
ment of s525 due on August l, the
Commercial club was facing fore
closure, and an acute situation would
be presented DR.. c. H. Carnes
pointed out that provision for lease
to the Commercial club was already
contained in the resolution.

manded Mr.. Rodey.
There is no need for secrecy, Mr..
Rodey." replied Mr.. Oestreich. "I am
one of those who have been working
on this plan. You hold in your hand
a list of the subscribers"
Mr.. Rodey explained that his ques-
tions were prompted only by his in
terest in Albuquerque and his men,

ade or more.
without a single dissenting vote the
resolution was passed.

already subscribed to stay and dc

Gaining momentum as il moves

lagos. This advance is in the direc-
ton of Lemberg.
In the center and on the southern
end of the line the Russians have
been victorious in heavy battles for
the possession of the crossings of the
river LomniCa. They have made
progress on the road to Dolina and
have captured the crossings of the
Lomnica at Perehinsko, about fifteen
miles south of Kalusz and four miles
west of Bohorodozany,
The Russians now are on the path
to Dolina, twenty miles southwest,
and to Stryj, twenty-five miles north
of Dolina, on the KalusZ- -Lemberg
