WASHINGTON, D. C., March 1S.- Representative F'ordney of of Michi- gan, who really misrepresents the people but who is the Cervile tool Cf the Lumber Trust urgently appealed to the Senate Military Affairs Com mittee to modify the Bill, now under consideration for the taking over by the President of all lumber industries. He complains bitterly of the way labor has robbed" this delicate baby industry and is real peaved at the Industrial Workers of the World for these bloated plutes to do away with the hog-pens in which the men were formerly kept. He says this organization is purely pro-German and according to his theory any of the workers who are not willing to be herded like a bunch of hogs must be unpatriotic. He has very nice substitute for the bill which he is sure would satisfy his masters very well which is to give the President author ity to commander lumber but not let him have anything to say about the industry in general.

NEW YORK, Mar. 13.-After a meeting of the Delegate of the different Locals, of the Meat Cutters and Butchers Union, last night it was stated that they had decided to call strike which will go into effect tomorrow morning. They state that their Union controls over 4300 workers in the meat trade at the present time and that it Is very likely that many of thesother work CTS in the meat business will follow the action or the Meat Cutters and Butchers. The men had demanded that they be granted an increase in pay, an eight hour day with the limit of not more than 62 hours a week, and that they be paid for all over time at the rate of sixty cents an hour. They were informed by the Butchers Association that the Association would not agree to any

 John T. Hart, President of the New York Local No. 108, which is affiliated with the American Fed eration of Labor, presiding at the meeting and Anothy Roth, general organizer, made a stirring speach Tn which he said that the meat work CTS were human beings the same as all other men and were tired of working 75 to 80 hours a week. He called a general strike in Yonk- CTS last week and the men won in less than two hours and he told the men that all they needed in this case was to stick together. Isaac Roth, who controls a chain

LUMBER TRUST APPEALS SENATE
FROM THE DAILY
 EMPIRE, JUNEAU

JUNEAU, Mar. 12-13-Worker: Bill passed Congress not passed to permit foreign ships to establish re- gular lines between American ports but to enable tramp ships to carry loads from congested ports to relieve temporary conjestion.
 British lines running to Alaska run on regular schedule. They do not have to comply with strict Amer ican navigation laws, so they can be operated much cheaper than Amer ican ships.
 If permitted to carry freight be- tween American ports all American ships ct once would be driven from field, and entire business turned over to foreign ships.
 Alaska wes expected to protest rights of American shippers and wages of American sailors who re- ceive higher wages than sailors on British ships No American believing in the protection Of American ship ping and wages of sailors could do otherwise than take stand for this exemption.
 There. have been plenty of Amer ican ships to move all freight that has been offered in Southeastern Alaska during the past year, there

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 1S,- The Senate today sent the Railway Bill back to the Conference Committee thereby upsetting all plans already made by the Administration. The Sem ate leaders had expected to send the Bill to President Wilson for his sig nature in a few days. This is the first time in the history of the United States that a conference report has failed of adoption, and was only turn ed down at this time on account oe the insertion of a clause by the com mittee, which nullified railway taxa ton by individual states.
 With the elimination of this pro- vision there is no doubt of the Bill passing without @ hitch.

 With the present prices of these st2ples,47 percent higher than they were during the pre-war period, it is quite evident that the American worker will be able to live on less wages by the time peace comes and the conquest of foreign markets is in full swing.

 War news again was almost wholly favorable to the peace group, but do mestic politics inparted tinge of pessimism which found it's outlet in intermittent selling for the short ac- count.
 A general demonstration of strength marked the broad opening but much of this was dissipated before the ex riration of the first hour, largely as a result of the further specracular course of certain specialties. Chief among these was Mexican Petroleum, which advanced II 1-2 points, reacted twenty points and closed at d gain of 1 1-2 points.
 Tine course of U. s. Steel continued to puzzle traders who expected an upward movement of that stock pre- liminary to tomorrow quarterly statement.

FLYWEIGHT PAID
 OFF IN DIAMONDS

When the British military authori- ties stepped in at the last moment and forbade Jimmy Wilde, the 100- pound fiyweight, to accept anything except a trophy for his end in a scrap with Joe Conn, 126-pounder, in London on August 31, 1918, compI- cated situation arose. Wilde was supposed to get 60 per cent of the purse of $20,000 for winning in twelve rounds, and the money was in the hands of London sporting paper which did not know what to do with it.
 The. authorities specified that the reward of any service man who took part in a professional boxing match should be a trophy, but failed to put limit on the cost of the trophy. That left a loophole, and the pro- moters solved the problem, after a fashion, by buying for Wilde dia- monds to the amount of his end of the purse. That was a big help. Wilde, if he wishes to realize cash. will necessarily lose the difference between the buying price and the price at which he would have to sell in order for the second buyer to make profit; still the diamonds were a whole lot better than nothing.
