Among domestic policies Of this

now under way is in government

of a sudden the whole 10000 work
ers out at the stockyards become

chops to bologna and weiners for
consumers direct powers also
to regulate wages and working con-
ditions for workers surely will
be a line Of action watched closely by
all interested in the tests of democ-
racy.
In business and labor circles in
Chicago is gossip and guess on de-
tails of the offer of the Chicago pack
ers to throw the whole packing in
dustTy into the hands of the govern
ment, the packers to act in effect as
agents of the government, receiving

The most stupendous financial
news incident of today in private
business is the action of the directors
of the United States Steel corpora
ton yesterday reporting to its stock
holders that net earnings for the first
three months of 1917 amount to
$113,121,O18.
This figure smashes all previous
records for profits achieved by this
particular corporation. 1t stands
now as the largest quarterly amount
of profits ever reported by this or any
other stockholm company.
While the nation is urged to prac-
tice thrift, plant gardens, eat more
rice and less meat, the American au-
tocrats of the steel industry stick in
their pockets as the profits of three
months business a sum Of cash suf-
ficient to feed the entire nation two
days.

WAR NOTES BY Carl Sandburg


vestment J. Ogden Armour and Ed
ward Cudahy as spokesman for the
packers made the offer to place their
81, 900, 900, OOO-a-year business at the
disposal of the council of national
defense and plans of the council are
to be announced at an early date.
A Chicago man in touch with the
American Federation of Labor eXecU-
tive council in Washington says food
control is being watched by the A.
F. Of L. as equally important with
wage and working conditions while
the war lasts.
AS we understand it, the offer of
the Chicago packers was a good deal
more radical than generally under
stood" said this labor man. They
are asking the U. S. government, if it
seems practical to fix a minimum
and maximum price for all meat pro-
ducts. The effect of this would be
that the government would open the
account books, make valuations,
estimate operating costs, and on the
basis of information so gained would
then fix prices of steaks, chops, sau-
'sages and soup bones by much the
same method the government now
establishes freight and passenger
rates on railroads.
'The contact of the government
with the packing industry would then
be as intimate as it is with the rail-
roads. If the workers organized and
presented the solid front the railroad
workers did, then something like the
Adamson law would come in the
packing industry"

defense council, who speaks here

President Sets Price for 1917 Crop
Upon Recommendation of Committee.
Washington.-Th standard price
for the 1917 wheat crop will be $3.50
bushel. President Wilson on Au-
gust 80 set this price upon the rec
ommendation of the special commit
tee of the food administration headed
by DR.. Ell. A. Garfield. The president
stated that Herbert Hoover has no
part in placing this price and has ex-
pressed no opinion upon it.
The price, which is for No. ] north
ern at Chiacgo, is below prices recent
ly recorded for cash transactions In
the crop at Chicago. 1t is put into
effect as an intermediate step between
the uncontrolled prices which have
prevailed and the So price set for the
1918 crop in the food control bill.
Y. S. May Buy Entire Crop.
The president declares this price
will be rigidly adhered to by the food
administration, which may purchase
the entire crop, if necessary, and be-
lieves that with the food administra-
tion's regulation of the whole wheat
industry lower prices for flour and
bread will result.
The price differentials worked out
by the food administration are /: No.

MASSEE TEACHES
WARFAREETHICS

Mai. Edward K. Massee, formerly
Judge advocate Of the Hawaiian de-
partment,- and first military instruc'
tor Of the Punahou cadet battalion
has been ordered by the war depart
ment in charge Of a course in mill
tary ethics at the Preside training
camp
Officially the new subject is known
as The Rules Of Land Warfare" L
covers the more or less abstract
rules Of civilized warfare" that blue
books and green books and white
books have been accusing various ma
tons of violating during the last three
years.
This is going to be a fine subject, -
said Maj. Aassee to a Chronicle re-
porter, because great changes in the
rules of war have been wrought in
the last three years. Some OF the
rules in the textbook still apply, but
a number Of them have been brushed
aside by the belligerents,'
One difficulty is that this nations
code of ethics considers very i'm
proper many things that are held by
the Germans to be good form. The
United States will not permit the en-
slavment of non-combatants, for in
stance The lecture course will cover
the rights of non-combatants and
proper and improper military tactics.
