Beef Much Cheaper;
Less Being Consumed
Retailers Say War Conservation
Is Still Being Practised, AL
though Not Necessary

CHICAGO, June IA statement
blaming consumers in part for the
high cost of meat was issued today by
the Retail Meat Dealers OF the United
States.
1.-TWO large groups OF the population
are holding back on their consumption
Of meat" the statement reads. Zone
is composed of the persons who in
normal times treat themselves to the
best quality of pork, beef and mutton.
This group is still continuing its re
duced consumption Of beef, although
the necessity for conservation of it no
longer exists.
another large group is buying only
those sorts Of beef which can be cooked
quickly and easily.
Everybody is neglecting lamb and
mutton.
"The people do not seem to realize
that beef had dropped materially and
is now cheaper than any other meat"

War Awakens Country
To Tuberculosis Peril
Creation of Special Division in
National Health Service
Is Predicted

ATLANTIC CITY, June 14.--One Of
the greatest victories of the war was
the triumph OF modern medicine in the
control of acute infectious diseases, but
even greater benefit will result from
the fact that the war also opened the
eyes Of the government to the great
inroad that chronic diseases are max
ing in our national economy, Dr. David
r. Lyman said at the annual meeting
Of the National tuberculosis Associa-
ton, which convened here to-day. DR..
Lyman is president Of the association.
AS result of the ravages of tubercu
losis DR.. Lyman predicted the imme
date creation of division of tubercu-
losis in the United States Public Health
Service. This, he said, undoubtedly
would be followed by the establishment
at Washington OF a department of
health, having equal rank with the
other great activities Of the govern
ment.
With the records showing nearly
100000 men were rejected for the Ma
tional Army suffering from suspected
tuberculosis, Or. Lyman urged greater
between public and private
health authorities.
DR.. Charles j. Hatfield. managing Al
rector of the national association,
pointed out that although tuberculosis
causes 10000 deaths annually in this
country, the burden of the fight against
the disease was being borne by volun-
tary associations.

Proposals Made by Cabinet
Officers Fail to Settle the
Dispute and Men Will
Quit Jobs Tomorrow
Industry Is Menaced
General Labor Federation
Will Pass Upon Question
of sympathetic Walkout

PARIS, June 14.-The general strike
OF the members OF the Miners Fedora
ton will take place Monday, II was
announced to-day by NJ. Bartuel, gen.
erai secretary OF the federation. The
secretary said that the proposals made
by M. Colliard, Minister Of Labor, and
NJ. Loucheur, Minister of Reconstruc-
ton, aiming at settlement Of the dis
pute, were unsatisfactory.
A general strike Of the miners would
have a serious effect on industry and
business, but the situation would be
graver still should the organization
known as the Inter-Union Trust, which
includes the railroad workers, regis
tered seamen, metal workers and trans
portation workers, in addition to the
miners, carry out its decision to walk
out in sympathy with the miners.
The Inter-Union Trust, however, has
subordinated its action to instructions
from the General Labor Federation,
and the question of sympathetic
strike probably will be settled at a
meeting to-day of the executive COM
mttee Of the federation. The leaders
of the federation appear determined to
keep the strike on professional foos-
Ing, and seem imbued with q certain
spirit of moderation. This was en-
phasiZed at meeting last night of
the national committee OF the Railroad
Workers Union, at which recent res
olution of the Paris railroad men in
favor of a general strike was con-
demned. The committee also appealed
Tor discipline and submission to the
orders Of the General Labor Fedora
ton.
Representatives of the French, Ital-
ian, British and Belgian labor organi-
cations were to meet here to-day to de-
eide on a simultaneous twenty-four-
hour general strike in the four coun-
tries as a protest against intervention
in Russia and to obtain full amnesty
and rapid rehabilitation. 1t appeared
early to-day that only the Italian rep
resentatives would meet with the
French, the British and Belgian labor
organizations having declined to par
ticipate.
French and Italian Socialists also
will confer on parallel" action IN &C.
cordance with the decision taken at
meeting of the labor representatives
and Socialists of France on Thursday.
Under the circum stances not much i'm
portance is attached to the meetings in
authoritative quarters.
A non-striking workman at the Bill
ancourt .viation works was seized by
strikers this afternoon and thrown into
the Seine River. The director and en-
ployes of the work tried to go to assist
the man. but were prevented by the
strikers.
The National Union des Combat
tants," one of the organizations formed
by former soldiers, which has mem
bership of 100000, issued an appeal to-
day to French strikers to maintain
their movement on strictly protest. onal
lines. The appeal called upon the
strikers not to disarm France by a
general walk-out Gust when the hour
Of justice for the peoples strikes"

Don't SIacken Pace
On Soldiers Jobs,
Gen. Wood Saws

General Leonard Wood added his
voice yesterday TO the volume of APP
peals for support from ali sources for
every agency seeking employment for
discharged soldiers, sailors and ma
rines. DR.. George W. Kirchwey, d.
rector of the Federal Employment Ser
vice in New York, gave out state
ment made by the general at Chicago,
headquarters of the army Central De-
partment, saying the surest way to
COM bat Bolshevism and the spread of
radical propaganda generally is to pro-
vide employment to returned soldiers.
"Soldiers," he said, "who have fought
and won the war and are now demobil-
lied feel they are entitled to as much
consideration as the chaps who stayed
at home. When they come back and
find the stay-at-homes occupying their
positions it is natural they should be
disconnected.
at will be a mistake" the general
added, "for any agency now contribut-
ing to the great work of getting jobs

the slightest l consider it essential
for the government to continue its
efforts to place discharged military
men and civilian war workers in
profitable peace-time jobs; and for
this purpose funds should be immc-
diately made available to continue the
United States Employment Service,
which has proved potent factor in
helping to solve this problem from
national standpoint,
Here in Chicago we have had to
contend with number of radical units,
mostly made up of discharged soldiers
out of Jobs. We found the principal
antdote for the soldiers state of mind
created by idleness was employment,
and acting upon the theory that mis-
chief is always found for idle hands
to do, we Immediately, through our
bureau for soldiers, sailors and ma
rines, got profitable employment for
as many of these chaps as we could
find, with the result that the situation
is much healthier.
There are lot of civilians in this
country who were not fortunate enough
to wear the uniform and fight in
France, but who did contribute to the
winning Of the war through their eff
forts in making war supplies. We
must not lose sight of these boys, and
the government owes them a debt of
gratitude as we'll, which can in

threaten to arise in Montreal among

Montreal union men assert messages
received from New York over the wires

CHICAGO, June 14.-With officials
Of the Commercial Telegraph COM
panies asserting that the order to
railroad telegraphers to discontinue
handling commercial telegraph bust
ness had caused virtually no incon-
vcnience, strike leaders tonight said
Geographic communication with $4,000
towns and cities had been paralyzed."
Officials of the Commercial Telegra-
piers Union Of America, who are
directing the nationwide strike, said
that the small amount of Western
Union kilograms moved over railroad
wires had suffered delays Of from six
to eight hours. They said their re-
ports showed great congestion Of COM
mercial business at points that relay
over railroad wires.
The headquarters OF the order of

had been carried out by the $4,000
members Of the organization.
Postal Telegraph Company officials
stated that the order did not affect
that company, which transmits only q
small part Of its business over rail
road wires.
Officers Of the Association Of West
ern Union Employees, which represents
So per cent of the workers Of that com
pany, said their reports showed that
the railroad operators had, with few
exceptions, failed to follow the instruc-
tons of the union leaders.
Members of the association did, how
ever, wire E. J. Manion, head of the
Order of Railway Telegraphers, asking
that the instructions be rescinded. The
telegram sent to headquarters Of the
organization at st. Louis explained
that the Western Union men were not
on strike and that the order placed
the railroad telegraphers on record as
opposing the Western Union workers.
A reply was received asking whether
the Association of Western Union En-
ployes was "a union organization and
so recognized by unionists." It re
quested that references along this line
be given.
