 TO CUT HIGH
 LIVING COSTS
Session Today Expected to Bring Forth Definite Pro-
 cedure = Wilson Takes
 Deep Interest in Situation
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, August 4.-Recom- mendations to President Wilson as to how the government should proceed in it's efforts to lower the cost of living are expected to result from the second meeting tomorrow of cabinet members and other officials called into confer ence by Attorney General Palmer.
 There still was no indication tonight of how the conference would view the problem. Director General of Rail- roads Hines Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Leffingwell and Chairman Colver of the federal trade commits sion, appointed a committee to pre- sent suggestions to the conference, have been engaged in an exchange of memoranda, but it was said authori- tatively that they had reached no de- cision.
 Wilson Deeply Interested
 That President Wilson was taking deep interest in the situation was indi- announcement, he called at the office of the federal trade commission and held lengthy conference with Chair man Colver and Commissioner Mur- dock Neither of the two commission

 Attorney General Palmer has sum- moned District Attorney Clyne of Chi cago to report on the progress of the investigations which have been under way there. Mir. Clyne's visit was re- garded as significant also because an early decision is expected by the at { tn h ha, inf tion submitted by the federal trade commission warrants prosecutions against the 'big five" packing com panies. >S-sssS

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Organized labor came out today with the un equivocal formal demand that private capital be retired among the railroads. X tri-partite control composed of the public. the operating management and he employees is demanded instead.
 Addressed to the American publc and signed by the engineers, the fire men and the conductors and the Amer lcan Federation of Labor a formal statement was issued announcing this proposal which will be carried before congress Wednesday.
 Tt marks said the statement the step by which organized labor passes from demands for wage increases to demands that the system of profits in industry be overhauled."
 Move Long Suspected
 This sentence sums up in few words the proposal of which there have been hints and indications, but which is now laid before the country for the first time. Everywhere in official Washington it is recognized as the most serious and far-reaching propo- sition the country will be called on to face.
 Characterizing the proposal as Ia bor's bill" it is put forth as a remedy fof-the high cost of living, because, the railroads are the key industry of the nation"
 1t demands the genuine co-opera ton and partnership based on a real community of interest and participa- ton in control of which President Wilson spoke to congress, and which the statement says has been ignored by labor and the private owners of the railroads
 Exit Wall Street
 We ask" it says, that the railroads lf the United States be vested in the public; that those actually engaged in conducting that industry, not from Wall street but from the railroads of fices and yards and out on the railroad lines. shall take charge of this service for the public"
 Briefly, labor's plan demands:
 That private capital be eliminated from the railroads.
 That the private owners receive for them government bonds with fixed interest return for every honest dollar that they have invested
 Equal Representation
 That the i-partite control, here tofore refrred to. be established in cor
  and in which the public the operating arrangements and labor shall be repre- sented equally.
 That the public the operators and the wage earners share equally all rev enue in excess of the guarantee tC private capital, by granting to the oper- ators and the employees one half the savings which are expected to be made by such perfected organization and tC the public the other half as consumers either by increasing service without adding costs or by reducing costs.
 This role originates with labor, says the statement, because labor happens to have firm organizations through which it may become articu-

Dangerous Potato Disease

During the past few years, a
European disease of Irish potatoes
known as the potato Wart, has been
introduced into Pennsylvania and
possibly into other states. This is
one of the most serious of potato dis
eases and if it should become intro
duced into our potato districts a
tremendous loss would result, accord
ing to c. w. Edgerten, plant patholo-
gist, experiment station, Louisiana
State University. The disease at
tacks the eyes of the potatoes and
covers them with repulsive, Warty
groWths, making them absolutely
worthless. On account of the seri-
BUSINESS Of the disease, the United
States Department Of Agriculture is
making survey Of the whole coun-
try in order to find out just where
The disease is present. Mr.. e.
Hollis of the department has been
detailed to Louisiana and will spend
about six weeks in the various parts
of the state visiting the potato dis
tricts and also the backyard gardens
in the cities and towns. As it will be
impossible for Mr.. Hollis to visit the
whole state in the time allotted him,
it is requested that all potato trou-
bles be brought to the attention Of
the farm demonstration agent or that
specimens be sent to the Depart
ment of Plant Pathology, expert
ment station, Louisiana State Uni
versity, Baton Rouge, La.
