interferred with by strikes.
To this extent. the matter of rail-
road wages will be included in the
address, but a solution of the entire
railroad problem will not be suggested
beyond the suggestion already made
to congress by the president in his
letter to the chairmen of the senate
and house interstate commerce COM
mittees.
NO recommendation will be made
Tor a licensing system of producers,
manufacturers or dealers
No recommendation will be made
for a law limiting the margin of
profit on commodities.
No concrete law clearly defining
boarding and profiteering will be
asked, although recommendation will
be made for laws designed to bolster
up the existing laws under which the
attorney general expects to reach
price gougers and hoarders
The president will ask for an eX-
tension of the Lever food control act
to make it applicable as a peace time
measure and to include all commodi-
ties, such as shoes, clothing and life
necessaries as we'll as food
This much as to the contents of
the address, was learned after Presl-
dent Wilson had called into confer
ence late today members of the cabi-

HUGE SUM NEEDED TO

Washington, Aug. Am army of
10000 regulars and system of
compulsory military training as pro-
posed in the war departments bill
establishing a permanent peace time
military policy would cost the nation
S9OO,OO0,0 900 a year. This estimate
was given to the senate military COM
mittee today by eneral March, chief
of staff,
The cost of training the estimate
OF $4,000 who would be subject 10
call annually under the bill was placed
at $94,066,5Q0. The cost of the stand
ing army would be s79S, 100000
Senator Chamberlain asked why
war department officials had changed
their attitude recalling that in 1915
they opposed a universal military
training proposal
Il don't know the attitude in 1916"
the general said, but l have always
been favorable to it,"
But the secretary of war didn't
favor it," replied the Oregon senator.

reply.
Il was talking to the secretary last
Sunday" remarked Senator New, re-
publican, Indiana, and he admitted
a change of view and presented the
arguments that caused him to
change"
Geenral March said had the pro-
posed plan been in effect when the
United States entered the war, the
country would have saved billions of
dollars"

EXorbitant Prices,


Washington, Aug. 7.-Although
prices of practically all important
foods have shown substantial in
crease during the last year, stocks of
food held in storage on June /, this
year were approximately 20 per cent
greater than those held on June /,
1918, according to memorandum
showing the relation between storage
figures and prices issued today by the
federal trade commission. Government
stocks were excluded from the COM
parison.
The fact that stocks of many i'm
portant foods were much larger on
June /, this year, than on the same
date last year" said the commission S
statement, while prices were as high
or higher, apparently means that they
are being withheld speculatively for a
world demand which is not now here
but which is expected when hunger
impelled strikes secure higher wages
with which higher food prices can be
paid"
To show that the law of supply and
demand is not working" the commas
sion listed eight staple foods which
on June l showed an increase in stocks
withheld from the market ranging
from to 29S per cent over stocks
on June l, 1918, and in each instance
there was shown to have been a sub
stantial advance in the wholesale price
during that period. Stocks of frozen
fowls showed a maximum increase of
29S per cent and the price despite this
fact increased cents a pound. Wheat
stocks showed an increase of ia per

Chicago, Aug. 7.-Representatives
of forty-two union locals of stock
yards employees voted tonight for a
general strike tomorrow unless mill
tia, policemen and deputy sheriffs are
withdrawn from the yards More than
100000 persons are employed in the
stoCkyards.
A strike was virtually begun today
when hundreds of white men quit
their work after about 5000 of the
X 600 negro workers returned to work
under troop protection, following vi
tual exile of more than a week due to
the race riots. Union men declared
their objection, based on the presence
of the guards, and that while they
held no prejudice against the negro's
color, the majority of the negroes
We're non-union. While union men
said about 5000 men had walked out
packing company officials placed the
number at about $50.
Previous to the strike vote of the
locals representatives,, officials of the
stockyards labor council held a con-
ference with Federal Judge Alshuler
federal arbitrator in stockyard contro-
versies
While the grand jury continued to
hear evidence on the riot cases and
voted indictments against twenty
three more negroes, making a total of
fifty-four negroes indicted thus far,
there was little evidence of race feel
ing in the riot zones. TWO Mexfcans
were injured in the stockyards neigh
borhood, both supposedly mistaken for
negroes
A negro, who was beaten during the
rioting, died today making total of
thirty-six dead.

Majority of Men,

There will be no strike in the Santa
Fe railway shops here unth the men
get orders from the proper official
source to lay down their tools.
1t was decided by the machinists
and boilermakers last night to remain
at work until the authorized call came
and their action governs the attitude
of the majority of the shopmen. The
sheet metal workers decided earlier
in the day to abide by the decision of
the majority.
The sheet metal workers, who met
in the afternoon, favored walking out
at midnight Saturday, but they de-
clared their willingness to support
the decision of the other unions,
Since the machinists and boilermak-
ers, who met later, opposed the early
strike the sheet metal workers will
remain at work also, waiting until
they get the call from headquarters.
The machinists' meeting was at
tended by nearly 800 men and they
were declared to be unanimous in
their decision. Details were not OBJ
tainable in regard to the boilermak-
ers' meeting, but they We're officially
reported to have reached the same
decision as the machinists. The black
smiths were scheduled to meet also

ing before congress what measures in
the opinion of the president and of
