Of RED CROSS WAR BODY
President Also Names Other Mem

Henry P. Dawson of J. p. Morgan q

Wilson as chairman OF a Red cross
war council, as was predicted IN Ing

this council are to organize the ex-

must make to meet the unprecedented

ir., New York, and Eliot Wadsw orth OF
Boston.
The President in announcing the ap-
pointment issued the following state
ment:
Statement by the President.
Il have today created within the Red
Cross a war council, to which Will De
intrusted the duty OF responding TO the
extraordinary demands which the pres
ent war will make upon the services OF
the Red Cross. both in the field and in
civilian relief. The best way in which
to impart the greatest efnciency ana
energy to the relief work which this
war will entail will be to concentrate
it in the hands of a single experienced
organization which has been recognized
by law and by international convention
as the public fundamentally for such
purposes.
Indeed. such a concentration of adj
ministrative action in this matter
seems to me absolutely necessary and
hereby earnestly call upon all those
who can contribute either great sums
or small to the alienation of the suffer-
ing and distress which must inevitably
arise out Of this fight for humanity and
democracy to contribute to the Red
Cross. 1t will be one OF the first and
most necessary tasks of the new war
council of the Red Cross to raise great
sums of money for the support of the
work to be done, and done upon great
scale. / hope that the response to their
efforts will be a demonstration of the
generosity of America and the power of
genuine practical sympathy among our
people that will command the admira-
ton of the whole world"
Former President Taft. chairman of
the Red Cross central committee, will

Says Men Did Not Want to Strike.

Mr.. Newman. replying to a question
by Mr.. Valley, said that he could not
say that the men had done everything
In their power to avert difficulty, for
he didn't know all they had done or not
done. He said, however. that the atti-
tude of the men had always been rea-
sonable, and that they did not want to
strike.
Did the men say to you that the
Amalgamated would have to be recog-
nized or that they insisted upon a
closed shop" asked Mr.. Valley.
They never insisted upon a closed
shop" said Mr.. Newman. Either just
before the strike or at the time they
told me they would be willing to
mediate not as a union"
Did you inform the officials of the
company of that?" asked Senator Pitt
man.
Not in just those words" answered
Mr.. Newman, Il don't recall that we
did. But l am sure we told the com
pany that We felt sure the men would
mediate in any way"

Cause Of Objection.

Mr.. Newman said that what the men
objected to was the part of the con-
tract which bound them not to organize
in any way. Whether they would have
been satisfied with the terms Of the
contract if it had not contained this
prohibition they did not tell him, he
said.
On March IL, Mr.. Newman said, the
Commissioners again urged mediation.
He told the committee he was in
formed by the union leaders that if
some means of mediation was not found
by midnight there would certainly be
a strike.
Mr.. Newman told also of the meeting
held at the Department of Labor the
night of March IL, when the Commits

ment, Secretary Wilson and the com
mittee of the employees were in session
until late. He told how Secretary Will
son had called up Mr.. King and urged
mediation. Secretary Wilson asked Mr..
King to withdraw the individual con-
tracts. which he said were offensive to
the men.
Did Secretary Wilson ask the men
not to striker? asked Senator King.
Yes" said Mr.. Newman. but they
replied that the temper of the men was
such that they would strike unless
some assurance was given that media
ton would be undertaken.

ment needed in the dairy business is done away with and for remeta dis tFiets and conditions where for any reason daiFying is inpFoftable, beef cattle should resolve consideration.
 A maximum gain during the first year is desirable, in fact, many cattle are now marketed at less than two years of age and this should probably hold true under the conditions out lined.
 Labor must be kept down and the extensive use of expensive purchased grains is prohibited in the production of beef for market.
 Good cattle of whatever breed se- 1eeted will play an important part in the success of the project and good feed should not be wasted eH a peer animal under any eireuna- stances Individual skill and shrewd- ness in buying, feeding and selling is also very important consideration in the successful handling of a, beef project.
