Head of Big Grain Con

House
MAY SOON RESTORE
OPEN WHEAT SALES
Strikes Will Interfere In
Solution of Problem,
Wilson Says.

WASHINGTON, August 5y-At-
torney General Palmer expects to
present a preliminary report to
President Wilson today concerning
possible steps to be taken by the gov
emment agencies in an effort to re-
duce living costs.
B. W. Barnes, president Of the
United States Grain corporation has
called to the white house for a con-
ference late today, and it is under
stood that the president will take up
with him the proposal to restore
wheat to a free market, with the
government making good the differ
ence between the market price and
tn 1925 guarantee to farmers.
. Secretary Tumu!ty announced this
afternoon that President Wilson is
"going to give his whole time to the
question of solving the high cost Of
living" and that conferences. with
senator's and re )resentatives on the
League of Nations had been definite
ly abandoned for the present.
Administration officials feel that
one way to decrease the cost of liv-
ing is to increase production, and
President Wilson, it is understood,
feels that strikes now, or threats of
strikes will interfere seriously with
any solution of the problem sought
by government agencies.

Third Day of Walkout
Sees no Disturbance in
Shops District
STRIKEBREAKERS
NOT BROUGHT IN
Trains Moving on Sched-
ule and Company Still
Receiving reight.

The outstanding development in the
strike of railroad shopmen here today
was the issuance of a statement by
a strikers committee composed of V.
c. Milton, w. H. st. John and j. E.
Courtney, setting forth the aims of
the causes underlying the strike. The
statement is interesting and brings
before the public the view of the con-
troversy entertained by the union
men, and will be read by their
friends with satisfaction.
The statement, in full follows.
Believing the public has been mis-
informed regarding present salaries
of railroad men it is our intention
to state some Of the plain facts. The
average salary of the average me-
chanic in the railroad shops of today
based on a 26 working day month
would amount to near $12500.
Sometimes it is necessary for men
to work on Sundays and holidays,
thereby adding some to these wages.
Other men in branches of work other
than railroad, are not required to
work on Sundays and holidays in or
der to meet the present high cost OF
living.
Realizing that it would be impos-
sible for us to meet the high cost of
living under our present scale, the
latter part of this year we made an
effort to get our request before the
Director General, but failed until
February of this year, and our re-
quest rested in about the same chan
mel: not granting an increase, and we
feel that seven to nine months is suf-
ficient time for them to have given us
an answer one way or the other.
we regleC very much THAI 1t has
become necessary for us to take such
steps as we have in order to BRING
about a settlement.
"PRESS COMMITTEE-V. C.
MILTON, w. H. st. JOHN, j. E.
COURTNEY"
From the best information that
could be gathered little or no animos-
itty between the strikers and the of
ficials of the company has been en-
gendered because of the strikers, and
up to this afternoon no apparent eff
fort had been made to fill the places
vacated by the strikers. Trains, both
freight and passenger, continue to
move on schedule, according to men
in other departments of the railroad
here, and so far as can be learned,
the strike has failed to effect the rail-
road in any way up to this time.
The strikers, it is stated, have de-
sisted from gathering abou- the rail-
road company's property, and though
it was said number of special agents
had been placed there to prevent
damage to railroad property, no clash
between these men and the strikers
has yet occurred.
S. M. Dutton, trainmaster of this
division of the Seaboard, and A. E.
Hopkins, travelling engineer of the
company are both here today on
business in connection with the strike,
but neither made any statement for
publication.

VIEWS ON u. S. FOREST
POLICY ARE REQUESTED

WASHINGTON, August 5.-Est-
imated loss by forest fires in 1918
is placed at 28,50O,OOO and with
fires sweeping sections Of three states
the American Forestry Association
points to the need of national forest
policy. The association today sends
out call to all those interested to
send expressions of opinion as to
what should be embodied in nation
al forest policy, that these ideas can
be presented at the next annual meet
ing.
Considering the annual fire losses
and the fact that the markets of the
world are opening to the United
States something must be done to re-
pienish our forests" says the state
ment by the association. "The war
time call upon the forests was tre-
mendous, but the call of peace-tlme
activities will greatly exceed The call
of war. In peace-time we exported
about three and half billion board
feet of lumber and saw logs, to say
nothing of home consumption.
The association wants to collect
the views of all lumbermen, timber
land owners and others interested in
the forest problems. The lumber
industry is the third largest in the
United States.
