SHOPMEN STRIKE
 BROUGHT TO END
Telegram Sent to President Will
 son Said to Notify Him That
 Men Would Return to Work Action Ends Stormy Session.

Chicago, Aug. 14.-The railway shopmen's strike is off and the men will return to work Saturday. This was the decision tonight of represen- tatives of the strikers from widely scattered points throughout the coun- try after an all-day meeting.
 No official announcement was made but the result of a conference was learned from men familiar with the proceedings. The telegram sent to President Wilson tonight was said to have been notification that the men would return to work. The resolu- tion asked that the president invite a committee of three from the dis trict council to go to Washington and sit in the negotiations with the direc- tor general.
 The decision to return to work and the passage of the resolution wound said, very nearly dominated the ses- sion at times.
 The shopmen's meeting today was called by the Chicago district council, which called the strike August 1, in defiance of the international officers of the shop crafts, who were in ses- sion in Washington negotiating with Director General Hines of the rail- road administration.

OVERSEA OFFICERS
 ENDORSE ARMY BM
War Departments Reorganiza- tiOn Measure is Now Being Considered by Senate Military Affairs Committee.

Washington, Aug. 14.-The Senate military affairs committee, in its con- sideration of a permanent military policy for the nation, heard today the first representatives of the American expeditionary forces in Lieutenant General Robert L. Bullard, who com manded the second army, and Major General James w. McAndrews, who formerly was chief of staff overseas.
 Both officers, although expressing some disagreement, endorsed the lead ing features of the war departments reorganization bill providing for three months of military training for all 19, year old youths and for peace time army of 576,OOO men. Their testi- mony was regarded as in some degree refecting the views of General Persh- ing and a majority of hte other off, cers in France.

TWO FACTIONS ASK POLITICAL CHANGE
Retired Senator and Former Governor of Texas Are Dissat- isfied With Democracy-Two Solutions Offered.

Fort Worth, Aug. 1.-Two factions of Texas Democrats, dissatisfied with the present party organization, met here today and determined upon sep arate lines of attack to accomplish a return to "the principles of Jefferson and Jackson" in state and federal gov ernment affairs.
 One faction, headed by former Gov ernor James E. Ferguson, left the present Democratic organization and formed the American party" which it is purposed to make national in scope before the next general cleo tions.
 The other faction, led by former Senator Joseph w. Bailey, laid down a declaration of principles to be fol- lowed in carrying the fight for party reconstruction to the regular Demo- cratic state conventions.
 Organizations were perfected at separate meetings. Former Governor Ferguson announced the birth of the new party at one gathering, and Sen ator Bailey at the other, laid down the principles to govern efforts at party rebuilding.
 Delegates of both factions heard Senator Bailey's address. The only apparent difference in opinion be- tween the factions was in regard to the methods to be used in attaining desired ends.
 Mir. Ferguson declared Eve are go- ing to jump the fence" and form "the American party of the United States" !" He called upon the people of the county to meet "in their respective precincts and organize county and state conventions and select delegates to national convention in 1920"

MEXICO WARNED TO STOP OUTRAGES
Radical Change in Policy Toward Carranza Government May be Adopted Soon - Notes Are Made Public.

Washington, Aug. 14.-The first definite move toward the long expect ed change in policy in dealing with Mexico was disclosed today.
 Carranza has been warned that if the murders and outrages of Ameri- cans continue, the United States "may be forced to adopt radical change in it's policy with regard to Mexico"
 With the announcement at the state department, however, came no authoritative indication of how far the American government is prepar- ing to go to enforce what lacks only the diplomatic technicalities of an ultimatum.
 The government announced it's ac- tion by publishing an exchange of notes with Mexico City and prefaced it's official statement with the expla- nation that the diplomatic representa- tions referred to had been taken Gin view of the long series of murders and outrages of American citizens in Mex ico, eliminating in the murder of Peter Catron in San Luis Potosi last month.
 The Mexican governments reply, which is lengthy one, sets out that the Carranza government is doing the best it can to cope with conditions in remote and sparsely settled regions still affected by the results of the civil war and suggests that Ameri- cans in those remote places come into populated centers where they can be protected. Referring to robberies of paymasters of oil companies, the Mex ican government declared the oil com panies had declined guards for them either on grounds that the presence of guards invited attacks by bandits or that the guards misbehaved. Both assertions the Mexican governments note declared, are unfounded. The Mexican government, the note further said, has offered to reimburse the robbed persons of moneys lost.

Too Many Irons.

The packers are now being blamed
for the price of meat, and the usual
remedy is demanded. The govern
ment must take over the packing in
dustry.
The government took over the
railroads, and although it succeeded
in making the railroads poor. it also
made the shipping public poor. U.s.
ing the railroads now costs so much
that you feel good deal poorer
every time you indulge in that lux
ury.
The government is quite capable Of
making the packers poor Any one
who dislikes the packers can feel
quite happy about that. And. as far
as this paper is concerned, that may
happen any time. and welcome. We
should worry about what happens to
the'packers; we aren't in the packing
business.
But while the government is max
ing the packers poor, will 1t make us
any richer! That is what we want
to know. Will it make our meat
cheaper!
II the packers have conspired to
jackscrew prices up, so as to fleece
the public. we don't merely want to
see them impoverished. We want to
see them ruined-pauperized. But
this is a matter for accountants. IL
J they have done 80, We can easily find
it out by investigating the ledgers.
! Investigations up to date merely
4 indicate that the packers make a
small profit, but that the turnover is
large-in a word. that the high
prices are due to the high wages paid
TO employees, and to the cost of
transportation. for which we really
pay the government Future inves-
LEGATIONS may tell a different tale
but we should ask for more proof be-
fore we ask the government to seize
the packing business. u
I II is y highly specialized industry,
needs lifetime of experience to
learn. and is very delicately organic
ed. The government knows nothing
about it, and would begin as an ANA
teur, with everything to learn. In a
few months it would dislocste the or
ganization, and by dissipatinr its
energies instead of concentra NJ
them it would develop ruinous ex'
penses which The consumer would
have to defray in the increased cost
of meat
II would be an excellent thine il
tine government could hanule all
staple Industries. II it could. But
it will have to learn how first, and
during its apprenticeship the experts
must be kept close at hand to show
how economics can grow out of sys-
tematizing
