Hogs at $19 Per 100 LIB.
Further Advances Predicted
in Chicago Market

CHICAGO, Aug. 1s.-Hogs scared to
s19 4 hundred pounds in the Chicago
market to-day, and further advances
are predicted.
The country has not many more fin
ished hogs to offer this season, and
high prices are bound to prevail for
some time to come. Live hogs in the
last week advanced $3.50 to 81 a hun
dred, and buyers were glad to get
them at that price. 1t is freely pre-
dcted that the coming week will see
the $40 hog. The price to-day is about
double what il was year ago and
nearly three times as great as two
years ago.
Receipts ali week were disappoint-
ing and only $1,000 hogs are looked
for next week. There have been times
when that many hogs arrived here in
day. The demand appears TO be
without limit.

is doing his bit. particularly in finan-
cial way. Although the interest rate
has not been determined, it doubtless
will be ample to attract investors.
In general respects the bill is sim
liar to the budget of last April, which
authorized 100000 worth of
bonds and $4,000, ,OOO,O 900 in certificates
Of indebtedness. The new A per cent
bonds could not be sold for less than
par, and the Secretary would be author
lied to purchase Allied bonds at par,
but their rates of interest must not
be less than the highest rates paid by
the United States bonds. The new
bonds also would be convertible II
later the United States should issue
other bonds at higher rate of inter
est. None of the bonds would bear
the circulation privilege. 80,
Indications tonight are that the Dill
will not be taken up for passage until
after the revenue bill passes the Sem
ate, probably late next week.
New Issue of Certificates
Another issue Of Treasury certificates
Of Indebtedness totalling s250,00O,OO
and PAYABLE November 80, was launched
to-day in furtherapce of the prepara-
tons for financing the second Liberty
Loan. A s300,000,000 issue of certit-
Gates for that purpose recently was Of
fered and largely over-subscribed.
Subscriptions are to close at noon
next Saturday, August 25. and the GER
tifcates will bear interest at 3h per
cent, like those of the last issue. The
proceeds will be redeposited in the
banks, Treasury officials announced, so
far as practicable.

Britain Forbids
Railway Strike
Official Proclamation Applies
Munitions Act to En-
ginemen's Dispute

LONDON, Aug. 1s.-An official proc
lamation was issued to-day applying
the munitions war act Of 1915 to the
differences between the British rail-
ways companies and some Of their loco
motive drivers, fremen and en-
gine cleaners. The effect Of this action
is that the dispute may be carried by
either party to the Ministry Of Labor
for settlement by conciliation or arbi-
tration.
Meanwhile, any stoppage of work is
prohibited, and it is illegal to apply
any union funds for the purposes Of
paying strike benefits. ....
An immediate strike has been threat
ened by about half the engineers and
firemen employed on British railroads.
The main point at issue is the recogni-
tion of the principle Of an eight-hour
day, although the demand does not nee
essarily include making the principle
effective during the war.
About 10000 men are concerned.
They belong to the Amalgamated So
ciety Of Locomotive Engineers and
Firemen. This union is distinct from
the much larger national union Of rail-
way men, which is uninvolved.
Trouble Brewing for Some Time
The trouble has been brewing some
time. The government recently stated
in the House of Commons that the So
c!ety's claims were inadmissibie, but
Sir Albert Stanley, president Of the
Board Of Trade, held two or three con-
ferences with the leaders, in the hope
of arranging the dispute, though, with
ou. success. At meeting of the exec
utive committee of the society, in Lon
don yesterday, IL was decided to strike
because the demands were not granted.
Later, Secretary Bromley submitted
to his colleagues further suggestions
which were not disclosed. The execu-
tive committee, despite the decision 70
strike, agreed to submit Mr.. staniey's
final communication to a conference OF
delegates to-day.
At this conference AR Stanley and
George N. Barnes, Labor member OF
the British War Council, addressed the
delegates. They urged the men to re-
consider questions relating to the
threatened strike and to forego un-
patriotic action at the present time,
After celebrating for four hours the
DELEGATES decided to leave in the hands
of the executive committee the ques-
tion of calling a general strike.

6WomenP ickets
Are Sent to Jail
They Prefer Thirty Days in
Workhouse to Paying
SIS Fines

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s.--Thirty days
in the workhouse at Occoquan, Va, was
the sentence handed out to-day to the
six White House pickets who defied the
ultimatum of the police that suffrage
banners and pickets would no longer
be tolerated.
Among the six women who were sent
this afternoon for months stay with
the petty malefactors of the national
capital we're Madeline NJ. Watson and
Lucy Ewing, of Chicago. They had not
been arrested before, but took their
court sentence without a murmur.
Previous to the sentence both the
Chicago women made statements from
the witness stand, declaring their in
nocence OF any crime and inserting
short arguments for woman suffrage.
The four other pickets were Natalie
Gray, Colorado Springs, Col; Miss La
vina Rock, Fayetteville, Penn; Cath
crime Flanagan, Hartford, Conn, and
Edna Dixon, Washington, D. c.
Each woman argued her own case In
sembly. Each said she had gone on
picket duty because she realized it was
the last resort in an effort to keep the
woman suffrage question before the
President.
Judge Pugh, who sentenced the
women, is new to suffrage cases, as ne
was sitting in another court when
Judge Mulloney sentenced the previous
z,,La
Pugh took the same attitude as the
previous judge.
"You are doing your cause no good,
he said. "You are simply seeking pub
licity, and in doing so you pursue
method which violates the law"
The women were fined S25 piece,
with the alternative of thirty days at
the reformatory. They refused to pay
their fines and were sent to the work
house, without even being permitted
to procure clothing and other articles
they may need during their soJourn at
Occuquon.
Senator Myers, of Montana. intro
duced a bill in the Senate proposing
drastic amendments 10 the law to pre-
serve order and peace in Washington.
The bill was referred to the Commit
tee on Judiciary.
Senator Myers said he was moved to
introduce this bill by "the outrageous,
scandalous and almost reasonable ac-
tiCns" which have been going on
around the White House for months.
He said these actions constituted an
insult to the President and to the peo-
pie of the United States.
He declared that comparing the
President Of the United States with
the Kaiser on the banners displayed be-
fore the White House was outrageous.
He said that the Emperor of Germany
was the greatest despot and tyrant IN
history. a murderer who has brought
Upon the world the greatest scourge II
has ever known.
He denounced as infamous the prac-
tice of picketing and displaying of ban
ners. and said that Il ought to be
stopped.
~ believe the people Of the country
are tired and disgusted with the per-
formance," said Senator Myers. The
President out of the kindness OF his
heart had pardoned some of the offend
ers, he added, and he feared that the
President had erred when he pardoned
them. They had deserved their sem
tenees OF sixty days iII the workhouse
and should have served them, in his
opinion.

us. to Borrow
Eleven Billion
S., 000,000,000 of Loan
viii Be in Small Saw
ings Certificates

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-Authoriza-
tion to issue bonds and certificates to-
falling S1,537,945,4 ,46O at one time is
provided in the new war budget bill,
embodying recommendations of Secre-
tsry McAdoo, which came from the
printer to-day to the House Ways and
Means Committee.
In addition to authority to float ST.
53S, ,945.460 per cent bond issue to care
for previous s3,O0O,000,O 900 and a fut-
ure $4,000, 100000 Allied loan authorize
tion, the Secretary desires power to
issue additional certificates of indebted
ness to the amount of s2,000,00o,O 1000,
and an equal amount of war savings
certificates in form available to small
investors.
Lives of the certificates of indebted
ness and war savings certificates would
be limited to one and five years, re-
spectively, and they would be subject
to discount and payment in the discre-
tion of the Secretary. He also would
fix the interest rates and regulate in
terest payments. They, like the bonds,
would be subject only to supertax, war
profits and excess profits taxes.
Provides for Sudden Demand
Inclusion of the two additional cer-
lie
tofore by Administration leaders in
connection with the bill, is understood
to be principally to provide against a
sudden demand for money which the
Treasury might not be able to- meet.
As Congressional leaders understood
the situation, it may not be necessary
TO issue many of the certificates, but
they would prove the means of getting
money quickly If it we're needed.
Authorization to issue the certifi-
Gates would prove particularly valu-
able, it is pointed out, if Congress
should not increase the revenue bill
now under discussion by $500,000, 900,
rs proposed by Mr.. McAdoo. 1t is by
no means certain that this proposed
increase will be secured.
In the war savings certificates pro-
posal Administration leaders think
they have discovered a means OF ap-
pealing to the patriotic man of small
means. Purchases OF these certificates
would be limited TO 500 worth at a
time. and no individual would be per-
mitted to hold more than $1,000 worth
of them. Plans also are being made to
accept very small payments on them,
the bill providing that the Secretary
NAV. IL he deems advisable, issue
stamps 10 evidence payments Under
such an arrangement payment Of such
amounts as 81 or less might be made
and noted as are postal savings banks
deposits.
