STRIKE TIES UP
YORK CARS
Street Railway. Elevated and Sub
way Service Paralyzed as
1900 Men Quit.

New York, Aug. 6.-Service on
the subways. elevated and trolley
lines of the Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit system was paralyzed at the
rush hour early today by a strike
of part of the company's $1,000
employees.
The walkout did not assume ser
ious proportions until s a. m,
when thousands of passengers on
their way to work in New York,
in various bOroughs across the
river, waited in vain for street
cars.
The East river bridges soon
were crowded with automobiles,
motor trucks and other vehicles,
but congestion was most marked
in the subway trains, which were
operated en- a limited scale. Trains
on the Il" roads ran dissultorily,
and the surface cars gave only
part service.

ting their cars into the barns at

Plan to Cut Flour 81 But
Keep Wheat Guaran-
tee Brings Advance.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-An upward
jump of Az to 91a cents a bushel
was the response of the corn mar
ket today to the announcement that
the government would maintain the
guaranteed price of 1925 for wheat.
The biggest rise was in the prin-
cipal trading delivery, December,
which scared at once to $1.52.
Wildness to buy was evident to-
day as yesterdays rush to sell.
Holders and spectators had done
the selling on the expectation that
the government would decide to
pocket a huge loss and would at
once cut wheat prices to consumers
as much as SO cents a bushel.
When this idea was shown to be
baseless, the market conditions
were squarely reversed, and for the
time being little or no attention
was paid to the notice that flour
would be reduced 81 a barrel.
All Join in Advance.
New price levels extending to
other commodities. Oats quickly
shot skyward cents to 5A cents,
lard IS cents a hundredweight and
pork $3.50 a barrel.
In the excited trading specula-
tors found themselves whipsawed
to an extent not often equaled. A
majority yesterday were on the
selling side, trying to anticipate the
action of the government. Today
the lightning-like advance left no
chance to get out of the predica-
ment without a costly penalty.
So large were the buying opera
tions today that individual trades,
no matter on what scale, counted
for little. Offerings were limited
and came only from the compara-
tive few who were fortunate enough
to be in a position to collect
profits.
Cut Regarded BuIlish Factor.
One of the freakish developments
was that dealers for the most part
regarded the cut of 81 in flour
prices as bullish instead of bearish.
For the moment the view was gen
orally accepted that such a small
cut where much larger one had
been looked for would tend to lift
the market for all commidities rath-
er than to relieve the situation.
One of the reasons for the con-
tinued strength of the market in
the face of the $1.00 cut in -four
prices was that it had been figured
by traders here yesterday that the
price of wheat to mill
ers would be $1.75 instead of S226,
and that this meant -four would be
cheaper to the public by 81 bar

WILSON WILL
PUT UP PLAN
IN PRICE WAR
President to Address Con-
gress Friday on High
Cost of Living.

Washington, Aug. 6.-PresI-
dent Wilson will address con-
gress in person Friday to make
recommendation for legisla-
ton designed to aid in reduc-
ing the cost of living. This was
learned today at the White
house. &.
That one of the presidents rec
concentrations will be more teeth"
to make existing laws effective to
cope with profiteering is the gen
eral belief of officials in the alb
sence of definite information from
the White House.
May Ask New License System.
The president, it was suggested,
also might ask congress for a
modified licensing system under
which margins of profit could be
controlled SO as to bring an imme-
diate reduction in prices.
With reports still coming in that
striking shopmen refused to work
and that the strike was spreading
despite efforts of officers of the
union, and the subsequent curtail-
ment of train service and its effect
on industry, the strike situation and
its related subject, the high cost of
living continued today to take prec-
edence over all other subjects in
congress and administration cir
cles.
Country in Peril.
Already more than 100000 cars
are reported to be out of commits
sion and unless rolling stock can be
kept in running order, it was point
ed out mills, factories and food
products, plants and mines, would
be threatened with closing.
Locally, interest centered in the
meeting OF the house interstate
commerce committee before which
representative of all the organized
railroad employees were expected to
support the Plumb plan which
would eliminate private capital
from railroad ownership and oper-
alton. The Plumb plan is before the
house in the form of a bill provid-
ing a tripartite control of the roads,
introduced several days ago by Rep
resentative Sims of Tennessee.

Controversy between union street
carmen and the Tri-City Railway
company ended at 1910 this morn
ing when the company's contract
was unanimously accepted by the
men and they were ordered to start
work Immediately.
The cars were running on most
routes in the quad-cities shortly
after noon.
At 10 o'clock the men voted upor
the question of accepting a contract
offered by the street car company,
providing for a graduated scale of
wages with a maximum of so cents
per hour, this having been already
signed by the company.
Few Vote Nay.
The sentiment of the men seem
ed so strongly for the proposition
that an AYE or nay" vote was talk
en- instead of a Sallot. The ayes"
came like a thunderclap. and al
though there were a few nays"
the wage question was settled then
and there.
The session was held in the
Eagles hall. convening at $50.
The proposition was brought up
and thoroughly explained by j. b.
Lawson. Then it was read by C.
G. Engstrom, at the request of Mr.
Lawson. In the discussion which
followed when the proposition was
put before the meeting for criti-
cism, ]. T. Bauer of local union
313, Rock Island, gave a lengthy
talk urging the adoption of the
measure. He was followed by
Charles Rogers, president of the
Davenport union, No. 312, who
spoke at equal length on a like
vein. Chairman Peck of the joint
carmen's board gave a short talk,
also urging its adoption. Vice
President Lawson then came back,
strenuously re-urging adoption,
and presenting many arguments.
So far no indication of the mems
attitude had been asked or offered.
Then Oscar Carlson of division
312. presented the question-thnt
measures provided for in the con-
tract be adopted as read.
James Kinsley of local 313 sec
onded the motion and talked in
favor of the proposition for several
minutes, Several other short

speeches were made, a few in op-
position.
AT length there seemed nothing
more to say. Came a short pause,
and in it ]. p. Lawson arose and
looked slowly around the room.
The moment was tense with eX-
pectancy. Each man looked at his
neighbor and wondered how he
would vote. Then came the ques-
ton:
Those in favor say aye"
In a flash pandemOnium reigned.
The shout of those favoring the
proposition was heard three blocks
away as they roared out the an
swer in the moment of breaking
the nervous tension.

and talking ceased When he could

formally announced the results OF

HUGE PROFITS
HELDCAUSE OF
PRICE OF SHOES
ProGteering All Along
Line Charged by Fed
eral Commission.

Washington, Aug. 6.-The high
price of shoes was declared to be
due to excessive profits taken by
every factor in the industry in a
report by the federal trade COM
mission to congress today. The
packers were charged with having
begun the pyramid of shoe prices
by an unwarranted increase in the
price of hides, the supply of which
they were said to control On top
of this, it was charged, the tan
ners have taken exceptional prof
its" while the shoe manufacturers
have demanded an unusual mar
gin" and the retailers have charged
prices that are mot justifiable."
The commission report covering
the four-year. period from 1914 to
1918, is the result of an inquiry be-
gun more than a year ago, it was
said. 1t has been in the presidents
hands for some time, and it is un-
derstood he urged it's speedy ac-
ceptance and transmittal to con-
gress in connection with efforts of
the government to combat the high
cost of living.
To show that the packers during
the last four years, have made un-
warranted increases in the price of
packer" hides, the report points
out that the prices differential be-
tween the hides and the country"
hides-hides of a lower grade
has increased far beyond the US
ual proportion" Charges of ex-
cessive profits against the tanner
and the shoe manufacturer were
said to be, supported by "the high
rates of return on investments" in
both industries following the price
increases.
THE public" said \the report,
had to pay prices for shoes that
not only could not be justified, but
the dealers took too much profit,
because the dealer had to pass on
to the consumer the excess profits
received by hide dealers and tan
ners, shoe manufacturers and re-
tailers."
Some relief from the intoler-
able prices paid by consumers for
shoes may be had" the commits
sion said, by:
IA rigid enforcement of the
laws against monopolistic control
of commodities.
2-Legislation forbidding pro-
ducers of hides. engaging in the
tanning business, and,
3-The adoption of a device in
the distribution of shoes that will
