Railroad Brotherhoods
Meet at Cleveland,
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
| CLEVELAND, Ohio, November "a
Five hundred general chairmen of the
| four railroad brotherhoods met here
today to consider the overtime pro-
'posal submitted by Walker D. Hines
director general of railroads. The
conference is expected to last three
days.
Appointments of committees. presen-
tation of credentials and other pre-
liminary work occupied most of to-
days session.
Grand Chief Warren S. Stone of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers presided The other organiza-
tions represented are the Trainmen,
Conductors and Firemen.
Called to Consider Hines Proposal.
The chairmen were called together
by their chiefs to consider Director
General Hines offer of time and one
half for overtime in slow freight Serv-
ice and a standard rule for crews held
away from home terminals beyond a
given period.
time nd one-half for overtime earned
in fright service making less than
twelve and half miles an hour, pro-
vided arbitrary allowances now given
in many of the schedules are elimi-
mated.
Different away from home rules"
are in effect on many railroads, and
Mr.. Hines proposition is a uniform
sixteen-hour rule for all crews held
away from home terminals.
No Bearing on Demand for Increase
Acceptance or rejection of the di-
director generals offer of time and =
half for. overtime in slow freight serv-
ice will have no bearing on the re-
quest of the trainmen and firemen for
a general wage increase.
From an authoritative source it is
learned that the four chief executives
of the railroad brotherhoods approve
the offer of Mr.. Hines, and it is be-
lieved that after it is fully discussed
and understood by the general chair
men it will be accepted

As Good Timber Prospectus Made
in Ten Days as Formerly in Years.

Photographs taken from an airplane

proved as good for a timber pros

ground survey system, according to a
report to the Department of Com

Airplanes recently flew over the tim

Expeditionary Forces.

During the year. eXpeditionary
| forces have been maintained, as in
| previous years, in Cuba, Haiti and
Santo Domingo. There have been A
| number of outbreaks of bandits in
both the latter places. but these have
been promptly suppressed. Two avia-
ton squadrons have been sent, one
each to Haiti and Santo Domingo, and
these have proven very efficient in
| locating and. with the assistance OF
the land forces. in dispensing bands of
! outlaws by machine gun fire and the
dropping of bombs.
Five members of the corps were
awarded medals of honor for con-
| spicuous gallantry during the world
war and marines of the American ex-
| peditionary forces received other dec
orations as follows: Distinguished
! service medal. 4; distinguished service
| cross, 349; croiX de guerre, 1887; le-

Praises Officers From Ranks.

Attributing much of the, success OF
the Marine Corps in the war to the
system of drawing its commissioned
personnel from the ranks, the COM
mandant said the highest efficiency"
would be served by adherence to this
policy, which also attracts the highest
class of recruits.
1t is recommended that thd perma-
nent enlisted strength of the corps,
plus the necessary allowance fSt-+Sia
ton purposes, be fixed by Congress at
21.i67, being about 20 per cent of tn
present authorized war strength.
Various other recommendations are
made for Increasing the efficiency OF
the. corps. One is that all the pres
ent temporary officers be given an
opportunity to qualify for transfer to
| the permanent commissioned person
mel. Another is that promot tions in
the corps be made by selection, and
another is for a general increase of
pay throughout the service

I, w. w. PLOT FOR
INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
IS CHARGED
Chicago Police Chief Alleges Plan to
Deose Employers and Seize
Plants.

Chicago, ILL.,, July s.-That inior-
nation has been received that the l.
w. w. is straining all efforts to gain
strength among the American Fed
Grafton of Labor Unions, with plans
for a nationwide strike within few
weeks in an effort to depose indus
trial employers and put the workers
in charge, was disclosed by Chief of
Police Garrity yesterday.
According to information given
out last week at the Police Chiefs
convention in New York." said Gar
rity, "the strike is to be called some
time between July go and August 1.
"The leaders of the movement will
not accept compliance with their de-
mands for increases in wages and
shorter hours, if they are allowed,
but will order the men to stay out
until the employers give up their
places to the men.
"The l. w. w. heads are not carry
ing OH the scheme in the interest of
the working man. They are doing it
for. their own personal gain.
IF the scheme succeeds, we will
face a most serious situation. The
plan, as explained by l. w. w. lead
ers, is to overthrow capitalism and
place labor in charge of industry"
As an example of the spirit, the
chief mentioned the hod carriers and
building laborers' strike, in which a
section of the union repudiated an
agreement of the union officials with
employers and chose new leaders.
and have continued on strike.

Keep Eggs Cool.

Statistics show that from one
fourth to one-half the eggs produced
in Missouri during the summer
months are a partial or total loss,
says Fl. l.. Kempster, of the Uni
versity OF Missouri College OF AgrfI
culture. Heat is directly or Indirect
ly responsible for enormous losses.
Before the war it was estimated that
two and half million dollars worth
of eggs annually were lost due to
their becoming unfit for food. Heat
causes germ growth, embryo and
mold development, increases evap-
Grafton and causes eggs to become
bad in a very short time.
Near',' all the losses due to heat
can be avoided by the ordinary con-
veniences that the average farm pro-
vides. This is especially true pro-
vided the farmer keeps roosterless
flocks as advised elsewhere. If the
farmers would take the same care of
eggs as they do of butter and cream
before and during the time it is taken
to market there would be little loss
because of heat. Any temperature
above 20 degrees causesreggs to start
deteriorating. Even under the best
of conditions eggs should be market
ed at least once week.
Eggs should be collected dailv and
should be cooled as quickly as pos
sible. A sweet fresh basement which
is cool or a cyclone cellar makes a
satisfactory place to store eggs.
They may also be kept cool by plac-
ing them in a bucket and lowering
into a we'll. Avoid storing in a mus
ty basement, keep away from flies
and remember that the above sug-
gested conditions are better than .
room in the house. A hen produces
good egg. 1t is your fault # It
does not keep well and shows up bad
when taken to market,

passed by the House Thursday. AS
originally drafted the resolution de-
manded that these officials investi-
gate the amount of money paid to

from which the money came. This
was ruled out of order by Speaker

tigation.

An inquiry into the present high
prices of shoes seems to point to our
old friends. the Chicago packers, as
the gentlemen responsible.
Since 1914 the cost of manufacture
ing leather footwear has practically
tripled. Labor in that period in the
factories has gone up 81 per cent,
and the profiteer's cry of high wages
viii hardly fit in this case.
Hides. ON the other hand, have
gone up more than 800 per cent-not
the hides that the packer buys from
the farmer. but the prepared skins
that the packer sells to the shoe mas
uf1eturer.
The Chicago meat barons have
been printing advertisements in the
newspapers telling the world how
small their profits are on beef and
ham and bacon. What are the prof
lite on hidesl
Il seems to us about time for Con-
gress to look into this matter.-St.
