LABOR
 CRISIS BEFORE
 DIRECTOR HINES
High Cost of Living Blamed New Wage Demands Force Wilson to Ask the House to Help Suggest Congress Take Hand in Rates
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA new labor crisis, growing out of the hign cost of living, is facing the railroad administration So pressing are the demands of the railroad employees for more pay to maintain their standard of living that President Wilson, fo.- lowing extended conferences. with Di- rector General. Hines, today askes, the house of representatives to ahardon proposed recess of five weeks, be- Washington to consider the creation 0. a commission which would dste'- mine all questions concerning the wages of railway workers.
 I ne house tonight on the eve of it's planned recess. voted to comply with the presidents request. which pre- viously had been endorsed by the re- publican legislative steering commit tee.
 The president took a new step in railroad legislation in suggesting to congress that the act to create the commission should make the decjs- ions of that body mandatory upon the rate making body and provide, when necessary, increased rates to cover any recommendation for in- creases in the wages, and therefore, are in the cost of operating the rail- roads"
 This was the fisrt time congress was ever asked by the chief executive to order the interstate commerce com mission to reduce rates. MT. Wilson's letter addressed to Chairman ESch and Cummins of the house and senate interstate commerce committees, vir- tually transfers to the floor of con- gress the question of whether there shall be an increase in transportation charges, long forecast by the steadily growing deficit arising from the fail ure of railroad income to the govern ment guarantee.
 Congress Into Rates?
 Discussion of the traffic situation before congressional committees re- gently has led to several suggestions that congress should prescribe a basis for rate making. This. it has been suggested, would be done by the pass age of law requiring the interstate commerce commission to adjust rates from time to time, in accordance with fluctuations in operating expenses SC that investors would be assured of a fair return on their money.
 Net operating income of the roads under federal control amounted to ap- proximately s51. 800. 900 in June, leaving deficit of s23.000,000, compared with one-twelfth of the guaranteed annua rental and deficit of s3o, 800, ,000 as compared with the average income ir June of the three-yea period on which the annual rental was based.
 For the first six months of the cal endar year, the deficit amounted tc more than s296,0O0,00O compared witf one-half of the annual rental Int half year net income was less than on per cent on the 5000, OoO, 900 of rail. road property taken over by the gov ernment.

RACE WAR
 VIRTUALLY 0VER |s
 BELIEF 0F OFFICIALS
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The Chicago race war was virtually over, state and city officials believed tonight after a day of quiet following five days of riot ing between negroes and whites with an official death list that stood at 35 tonight, and probably about 1,5OO per- sons injured, of whom a number may die.
 Armed vigilance still ruled the riot areas of the negro district on the South Side where more than 5000 state troops patrolled the streets with the bulk of the police force and nearly 1000 special policemen on duty.
 As a precaution against possible displacement of the order that had been maintained today, Chief of Police Gar rity closed all saloons cabarets, ath- letic clubs and other places of assem- bly. except churches, in the negro dis trict.
 Although officials generally ex- pressed themselves as well satisfied with conditions, Colonel A. F. Loren zen of the First Illinois reserve militia described the situation as an armed truce" He declared that the negroes still had quantities of firearms, as did whites also, and that he believed fur ther rioting was to be expected unless all deadly weapons were confiscated by house to house search. Attorney General Brundage declared such a search for weapons would be unlawful.
 Negro leaders in public statement declared that notorious acts of search and seizure already had been made and they protested vigorously.
 Although no. fresh disturbnces of consequence occurred today, two whites and one negro succumbed to wounds or injuries.
 States Attorney Hoyne is proceeding with his investigation and has called for all information bearing on violence and the causes of the riots.
 Mayor Thompson went before the police committee today and renewed his request made yesterday to the council, for 1000 additional permanent policemen. The mayor said he believed there was further trouble ahead" re ferring to unrest and not to the race riots. He said a crisis" existed and that safety of life and property de- pended upon an increased force of po- licemen.
 All negroes will he back at work in the stockyards Monday. it was said to- day. The stockyards will be under mili- tary patrol.
 Although one mob formed tonight and blacks and whites were fighting when militiamen arrived, they quickly dispersed and Governor Lowden after tour over the riot district expressed himself as satisfied.

Republican A. p. Leased wireJ

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-Chicago street carmen voted today to end the strike by a majority of 386. Car service will be resumed tomorrow morning prob- ably at o'clock, on both surface and elevated lines which have been tied up since last Tuesday morning by strike of 15,0o0 men.
 The vote was taken on acceptance of proposition agreed upon by rep resentatives of the union and the com panies last Monday, but which the membership rejected that night, vot- ing to strike immediately.
 Radical leaders dominated that meetin, union officials declared. and the referendum vote was taken today only after William D. Mahon of De- troit, international president of the union, had come here and personally urged the strikers to accept the offer
 The men gain an increase from AS to 65 cents on surface lines and from 5l to 67 cents on the elevated roads, with the eight hour day, time and one half for overtime work and a rear engagement of runs.
 The total vote of both elevated and surface unions showed 6,360 in favor of accepting the offer and ending the strike. and 5.974 against it

SENATE DECIDES TO
 REPEAL 'DAYL|CHT'
 MEASURE OVER VETO
[Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The senate. today decided to nave the. proposal for repeal of the daylight saving law again run the gauntlet of President Wilson's veto. By a bote of fl to 12 the senate passed and sent to the president the separate house bill repeating the day light savings meaure.
 During brief discussion of the house bill, several senators predicted that the measure, like the daylight repeal rider on the agricultural appropriation bill. would be vetoed by the president. The separate house bill was passed June IS, but action in the senate was sus- pended until today and in the interim the president vetoed the rider and the house was unable to enact it over the veto.
 The senat's action now places vir- tually similar repeal legislation again before the president. The only differ ence in the vetoed rider and the sep arate bill is that the latter would not interfere with standard zones of time.
 Senators who voted today against the new repeal measure were: Repub- licans: Calder, Colt. Elkins. Lodge Phipps and Sutherland; democrats, Geary, Phelan. Pittman, Thomas and Walsh (Mass.).
 Many democrats joined with repub- licans in favor of the repeal bill.

SENATOR FALL
 OPENS F|RE 0N
 NATION LEAGUE
[Republican A. p. Leased wIrel


 WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-President Wilson, the league of nations and the German peace treaty were criticised by Senator Fall of New Mexico, republi- can member of the foreign relations committee, in an address today in the senate.
 Urging adherence to the American policy against European entanglements: Senator Fall declared President Wilson was asking the senate to join him in '.deadening American patriotism
 The league of nations, Senator Fall said, would create "a great super gov ernment, subvert the American gov ernment, strike at the power of con- gross and result in the surrender of American freedom.
 Other provisions of the peace treaty were declared by MT. Fall to exploit weaker races and nations and establish selfish rights.
 The president appeals to the sen ate,' said Senator Fall. "to join him in overturning the American policy of 40 years in undermining every in fluence with other nations which that policy has created and maintained; in deadening the influence of American patriotism, here at home; in render ing obsolete the word patriotism in our vocabulary; in joining this nation now possessing the confidence, respect and admiration of the people of the other nations, in bond of alliance, with the very selfish nations who have caused our conduct to stand out in such brilliant contrast, and in a coun- cil where our freedom of action here after will be controlled by the vote of eight of these nations. We are re- quested-nay, we are commanded-to surrender our freedom, to yield o,ir sovereignty; to subyert our govern ment
 Joined with the other people of the world in this so-called peace treaty; constituting only a fraction of the gov erning body of the league; unable within the league to impress ourselves and our ideas and to make our de- mand as we could out of it, because of the fact that we delegate to others the right to vote eight votes to one against us in any matter of selfish in- crest in which they can unite; we have not only destroyed the government of our fathers, but in my mind, we have committed a crime against the nations of the earth; against civilization itself and retarded for more than a thousand years that reign of Christ which we all hope will eventually bring the people of the earth together"
 Regarding opposition to reservations protecting the Monroe doctrine, Ameri- can sovereign immigration and other domestic questions. Senator Fall said that in 1912, every democrat. including many now in service, insisted upon and voted for reservations to arbitration treaties then submitted by President Taft expressly reserving these ques- tions.

INTER NATION LABOR
 MEETING IS CALLED
[RepubIIcan A. p. Leased wire]

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-So that the first meeting of the international la bor conference created by the Yer sailles treaty may De held in Wash ington next Octobe-, regardless of whether the treaty is ratified, the sen- ate unanimously adopted today a joint resolution authorizing the president to call such a meeting, but giving no au thority for American representatives unless and until'' -he treaty's ratifi- cation has been accomplished.
 The action was taken after Secre- tary Wilson of the lstor department had told the foreign relations commit tee that even if the treaty were re- jected here. it's acceptance by other powers would validate the request it contains that the president call the first conference to meet here in De- tober. He said under existing law the executive was without authority to act.
 Action on the resolution by the house is necessary before the presidents au- thority IL complete.

 DOUGLAS, Ariz., Aug. 1.-Mrs. Rose Mckay, member of the state legislature from Gila county, today denied statements attributed to her in press accounts of testimony giv- en by her yesterday during the Bisbee deportation hearings in which she was quoted as having said that there was mot enough government in the United States" to drive her off the streets of Bis bee during the deportation of July 12, 1917. Mrs. Mckay said she had used the term "gunmen" instead of government" and a transcript of her testimony proved this claim, the word in question having been misunderstood by many in the court room.
