American relief supplies and threaten
all the remaining Armenians with ex-
termination unless additional military

Herbert Hoover, director general OF
relief, Immediately submitted Major
Green's message to the peace confer

ports from other American and Brit.

Major Green sends the following
from Tifis:
Had a long conference with the
president. The situation is worse.
The Turkish army, well prepared. and
Tartars are advancing from three
sides. II military protection Is not
afforded to Armenia Immediately, the
disasters will be more terrible than

35, Men in Middle West and
Southeast Only Ones
to Go Out.
INBREASE is EXPECTED
Presidents Request That Congress
Create Commission to Consider
Wage Increases F~avorabIy Re-
ceived by Union Officials.

Chicago, Aug. 2.-President Wilson'S
request that congress create a com.
mission to consider wage increases for
railway employees was f~avorably re-
ceived here by officers of the Chicago
district council of the Federated Shop
mems Union, which called a nation
wide strike of railway shop workers.
Press dispatches stated that the Presi-
dent had suggested that any proper
wage increase be made retroactive to
August, 1919, and the local shopmen's
leaders declared that on that point
they would remain firm for retroaction
to January /, 1919.
Advice Of Officials Unheeded.
The shopmen's strike, according to
reports, was chiefly effective in the
Middle West and Southeast and in the
latter section alone $1,000 men had
laid down their tools, according to
union advices. All over the country
and especially in the Middle West
union locals were voting on the strike
proposal. A big increase in the mum
Der OF men on strike Is expected by
union officials.
The local unions had disregarded
the advice of their international Off
cials at Washington, who have been
comforting with the, Railroad admins
tration, and who instructed the men
not to strike. The request for in
crea sad wages from 6S To az cents an
hour for machinists and from 46 to 60
an hour for helpers, was made the
first of the current year, the union
men said.
Reports from all sections Of the
Middle West indicated that the strike
had not become effective as widely as
the union officials had expected. North
Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa.
South Dakota, Missouri, Indiana and
Kentucky apparently were free from
strikes among the rail employees.
