against himself by going into the
market and Increasing the demand.
The Government campaign, not
withstanding this. was bringing re-
suits In many sections or the coun-
try, Mr.. Palmer stated. He said re-
ports were being received showing a
tendency toward lower prices and ac-
tually lower prices, though many
consumers had not yet felt the diff
ference. 1t applied, he declared, to
clothing as well as to food.
Asked as to how long the railroad
shopmen should wait on the Presi-
dents appeal to delay until a showing
on prices was made, he said the Presi-
dent meant a reasonable time, one
that In fairness would show results.
Asked as to whether industrial or
ganizations would be permitted to get
together to reduce prices, he expressed
the opinion that an effort of this sort
would not be held to constitute q
restraint Of trade. He drew the line
however, between fixing prices and the
naming of maximum prices beyond
which the members Of an organiza-
ton would not go.

Special Despatch 70 THn suK.

WAsHINoroN. Aug. 27.--A powerful
and deliberate prics boosting propa-
ganda is at work in the United States,
In the opinion Of Attorney General
Palmer. The Attorney General stated
this was an appreciable factor In the
price situation. He admitted the
working of this propaganda. its or
ganized source, IL there was one, was
not known. and consequently there
was no apparent method of reaching
this influence.
The propaganda is worked, in Mr..
Palmer's view, by the constant reit-
Grafton throughout almost every
trade that prices are going to be
higher. The statement OF probable
higher prices puts up the present de-
mand, and the increased demand
brings the higher price prophesied.
Statesmen throughout the country are
telling the wholesaler and retailer to
buy, that prices are going to advance.
The retailer is telling the consumer.
BUY now" campaigns, he said. were
an influence in this direction. and the
consumer was playing the game

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-There were
many indications In Washington to-
day that "calmer judgment" by the
soc, 900 or more railroad shopmen in
the United States and Canada, who
are soon to begin taking another
strike vote, may prevail and prevent
an internationl strike.
A definite stand with respect to the
proposed strike probably will be taken
by the American Federation of Labor.
Though no official statement could be
obtained. officials of the shopmen and
other unions were of the opinion that
the matter would probably be taken
up at the meeting of the executive
council OF the federation, which is TO
be held heKe beginning tomorrow.
President Gompers is back in Wash
ington and is expected to take a hand.
II the federation and other powerful in
fiuences suggest to the men that the
most advisable and patriotic course
would be to accept the Presidents appeal
and wait to see whether the cost Of liv-
ing comes down, it is regarded here as
certain that this influence would be felt.
Reports received in Washington to-
day indicated that the extremists among
the shopmen were for an immediate
strike, but this was not regarded as
representing the sentiment Of the men
throughout the country.
Members of the committee OF 100 rep
resenting the shopmen were in conferi
ence practically all day. 1t Is no secret
that they expect TO appear before the ex-
eoutive council of the American Federa-
ton of Labor tomorrow and state the
situation facing the shop unions. The
position they will take is not known. but
it appears that the more conservative
Of them are prepared to accept the
Presidents judgment and to avoid II
possible a strike at this time that would
paralyze the railroads of the country.
One OF the first questions that proba-
bly, will be settled Is as to whether the
shopmen will stand alone If they vote
for a strike or whether the brotherhoods
and other great unions will Join them.
Any decision in this regard probably
strike vote which will be registered
early next week.
President Gompers will attend the ex-
ecntive council meeting tomorrow. Just
what position he will take and the coun-
sci he will give have not been made
known. and many of the leaders are
guessing as to his stand. That it will
carry great weight In the decisions
reached goes without saying. Mr..
Gompers stood with the President and
the President with labor throughout the
war Whether they Will part company
on the present Issue remains to be seen.
r. NJ Jewell. head of the railroad de-
partment of the American Federation OF
Labor, and officers of the shopmen's

however. that they are prepared 10 throw

WASHINGTON. Aug. 27.--It was indi-
President Wilson might leave Wash.
ington in ten days or two weeks on
his tour Of the United States. In which
he will make speeches in behalf Of the
peace treaty in at least fifty OF the
principal cities OF the country. It is
expected the itinerary Of the trip will
be announced at the White House to-
morrow. -
1t is probable. the President will de-
liver addresses in st. Louis, Cincin-
natl. Columbus, Sioux City, Ia, Min
neapolis or st. Paul, Bismarck, N. D..
and Billings and Helena. Mon. then
swing down the Pacific coast States to
San Francisco and return to Washing
ton by the Southern route, making ad-
dresses on the way back.
The announcement that the President
definitely had decided on a speechmak-
ing tour in behalf OF the treaty aroused
much interest in the Senate, and the
hasten efforts to report the treaty. Some
of the members of the Committee on
Foreign Relations, particularly Senators
Borah and johnson, are anxious to get
away from Washington and stump the
country In opposition TO the League OF
Nations They have been represented as
intending to trail the President" but as
a matter Of tact they want to get over
the ground as much ahead OF him as
possible. So long. however. as the treaty
remains In committee II Is impracticable
for them to leave Washington.
When the announcement was made to-
day that the President would leave
wa shing gton soon II was thought by
White Mouse officials that the review OF
the. Pacific feet, which had been set Tor
Seutember 1, had been postponed until
September 15, and Secretary Tumulty
said he believed the President would
reach San Francisco in time TO take
part In the ceremony. Late In the day'
however, it was announced by Franklin
ID Roosevelt, acting Secretary OF the
NAVY. that the review would be held
Sentember 1. This action was taken at
the request of the President, who had
asked that plans for the review go for
ward without reference to his trip.
II had been expected the President
would remain in the East long enough
to greet Gen. Pershiny when he returned
from Europe next month. but officials
said here to-day that he considered his
sueech making tour of greater impor-
tance. Secretary Tumulty said 1t was
probable the President might meet the
General in st. Louis, as 1t will be neces-
sarv for Gen. Pershing to go throuTh
that city en- route to his old home In
/ Laclede. Mo.
II is believed the departure Of Mr.
Wilson will follow almost Immediately
the submission of the treaty to the
senate, and that he will be asking the
county 10 urge ratification OF 1t at the
same time the Senate la debating on the
amendments and reservations.

ing the reasonableness Of charges
and prices. Their organization and
methods are left to the discretion OF
the Department
Two amendments applying only to the
District OF Columbia are recommended,
