the central west were struggling today
to solve their problems of unrest made
the more serious by the May Day
walkouts and radical disturbances
thruout the country.
Authorities were prepared to stifle
any efforts toward violence, such as
those at Cleveland yesterday. Con-
ciIiators of the government and of the
districts themselves made every effort
to return the strikers to their jobs.

cially in cities where lack of homes
is great and where effort was being
made to meet this handicap.

The Chicago situation was made
more tense by the report from San
Francisco that 100000 Chicago stock

Stockyard officials doubted the truth
of this statement. They said there are
only approximately $4,000 workers in
the yards.
J. Z. O'Hern, of Armour & Com
pany, said he believed about SO per
cent of these are unioniZed and able
to vote. He said he did not antici-

Victory for Southern Ports

R-REACHlNG victory for the South
~ apparently has been achieved in tho bit
ter contest that has ragged in tho United States
Shipping Board over tho distribution OF the
great volume OF merchant tonnage which the
government owns and which is now being d-
vcrted TO trade channels rapidly as the
army. navy and relief organizations release
IT, First fruits of victory for the South
come with the reimbursement OF export rates
announced by the Southern railroad. Under
this readiustment Southern tariffs will he the
same those granted to New York and other
Northern ports, which in the past have had
preferential treatment 1t is the result OF
long fight i'll which many Chambers OF Com
merce and trade organizations representing
Southern cities took an active part. and il is
now possible for the Shipping Board 10 allo
cate TO the Southern ports their fair number
OF ships for the expedition OF export,
1t is brave fight that the South has made.
at times against apparently Overwhelming
odds The Pacific Coast has been diSpleased
over the small amount OF tonnage allotted
% it, and only the North Atlantic ports are
satisfied with the policy OF the board THAT.
Of course, because il has received the major
portion OF the tonnage. The South Atlantic
md Gulf regions, fully awake to the posi-
hilitieS OF the situation sent their rcprcscn-
tatires TO Washington TO Impress upon the
government the Importance OF wider dis
trlbution OF merchant tonnage And they
moved intelligently in tina; direction by ap-
pcaring first before the railroad admnistra ton.
where they registered demand that the for
eign freight rates be so adjusted to divert
much OF the goods for export TO the ports
on the South Atlantic and the Gulf They sue
cecded beyond their expectations in that quar-
ter, the railroad administration officials agree
ing that the rate structure should and would
he overhauled along the lines laid down.
thereafter the SoutherncrS appeared before
the Shipping Board and after informing the
latter body of the assurances received from
the railroad administration. guaranteed the
corsoes at their ports if the ships we're
promised The answer received was some what
cquivocal, however. The board insisted that
the cargoes be provided first. whereupon the
ships would be sent.
Out of all this agitation u broad national
policy OF ship distribution must eventually
come. There is no sound reason why tn.
products OF the Mississippi Valley, destined
for South America, should move to New York
when the logical route is via New Orleans. II
seems absurd TO haul the grain from the Mid
die West 10 Philadelphia, then transship it 10
Great Britain or TO deliver Southern cotton
to Baltimore for transport to Germany. This
tranic should he routed TO the most con
renient port, and as matter of simple
economy should be given the shortest possi-
bic haul.
