 At This Time is DepIored

WASHINGTON. Aug. 4.-Recom mendations to President Wilson al to how the government should pro ceed in it's efforts to lower the cost Of living are expected to result from the second meeting tomorrow of cabf net members and other officials call ed into conference by Attorney Gen eral Palmer
 There still was no indication to night of how the conference would view the problem. Director General of Railroads Hines, Assistant Secre, tory of the Treasury Leffingwell and Chairman Co1ver of the federal trade commission appointed a committee to present suggestions to the conference have been engaged continuously in this work
 That President Wilson was taking deep interest in the situation was indicated again late today when with out announcement he called at the office of the federal trade commission and held a lengthy conference with Chairman Colver and Commissioner Murdock. Neither of the two mem bers would discuss the conference but admitted it dealt with living costs.
 Attorney General Palmer has. sum moned District Attorney Cline, of Chi cago to report on the progress of in. vestigations which have been under way there. Mr. Clyne's visit was sre- garded as significant. also because an early decision is expected by the at torney,, general as to whether infor- nation submitted by the federal trade commission warrants prosecu- tions against the Big five" packing companies.
 High prices and the unrest express. ed in strike threats by hundreds of thousands of railroad men occupied much of the time in the senate to- day. Senators from wheat growing states asserted that the governments guaranteed price of 3226 a bushel was not responsible for the high cost of bread, declaring that wheat was selling at terminals at higher figures
 Several senators declared there was ample law to punish profiteering. Senator Borah of Idaho commented that 1t would be no task to find the prof1teer. but that he would be "as safe the next four years as the past four"
 Chairman GronRa of the senate agricultural committee announced during the day that his committee would meet tomorrow to consider the excessive living cost problem,

RAIL WALkOUT UNAUTHORIZED
 GAY OFFICIALS
But Union Leaders Point Out Danger of Men Getting Out Of Control; Freight Tie-Up In Middle West Is Predicted

l WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-President Wilson was told today by B. M. Jewell. acting president of the railways divi- sion of the American Federation of
 Labor, that all railroad employees were opposed to the proposal made to the president by Director General Hines that congress constitute committee to pass on questions of wage increases
 for the men. He said this process
 would be too slow and because of the rising cost of living speedy relief was necessary.
 MT. Jewell was accompanied to the
 White House by the heads of the six
 big railway shop crafts, who pointed out to the preident that thousands of shopmen were now on an unauthorized strike, and that unless the demands of these men for wages increases an proximating 25 per cent, presented last January, were granted promptly. the situation would get beyond the control of the union officials.
 Efforts now are being made by the union leaders to get the strikers to re- turn to work, the president was told If strike should become necessary in order to enforce the demands of the shopmen, the president was informed union officials felt it should be con. ducted only after vote by the union members.

JAPAN WILL EXPLAIN ATTITUDE ON SHANTUNG
Will Give Province Back to China Is Belief; Acceptance
 Of Treaty Said to Hinge on Anxiety of Wet" Senators

WASHINGTON. Aug. 4.-Japan's in-
 tentions in the Chinese province of
 Shantung. where she is given control
 by the Versailles treaty. soon are to
 be known, is the formal declaration
 from the Tokio government, accord
 ing to information received today in
 official circles.
 Although the exact nature of the
 declaration was not forecast, it was
 assumed it would follow the lines of the repeated statements of Japanese
 diplomats that the province eventually is to be returned to China.
 The reported decision of Japan to
 make'knokn it's purposes is believed to
 be the cutgrovth of informal diplomat
 ic relations between Washington and Tokio reflecting the American goVerp- ment's desire that all the facts lu the case be given to the public. President
 Wilson has told many senators that A complete exposure of the case would throw new light on "Shantunx pro- risione.'
