RAILROAD UNIONS
 BEGINNING TO ACT
Temporary Relief" Must Be Ac cOmpanied by Reduction in High Prices-Would Paralyze the Nation.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Acting as a unit for the first time in the presenta- tion of wage demands, the IA princi- pal railroad unions today, in express ing to Director General Hines their disapproval of President Wilson's pro- posal that congress create a commis- sion to consider increased pay declared that wage questions must be settled immediately.
 A general program to meet the present crisis was submitted to the director general. It suggested that the money to provide increased pay should some from an appropriation by congress, to be followed by appro- priate freight rate advances. This temporary relief" must be accom- panied by determined effort to re- duce the cost of living.
 Permanent solution of the railroad problem was declared to depend upon the removal of returns of capital as the sole purpose of operations and the director general accordingly was ask ed to recommend to President Wilson that he attempt to obtain early pass age by congress of organized labor's bill to eliminate private capital from control of the railroads and to give the employees share in the profits. The unions declared the belief of the workers that transportation rates should be sufficient to guarantee just wages, maintain the properties and give equitable returns on money in vested.
 Interesting as were the suggestions for removing the menace of nation wide strike, the unified action of the IA organizations attracted equal att tention. Labor leaders who were questioned declined to say whether the ,, unions would act as a whole in the future, but declared they were going through with the present situation as one body. The result will be to put the solid weight of 2,000,000 persons, virtually the entire rail transportation personnel of the United States back of the demands, with the possibility as never before, of the paralysis of the nations life if a general strike should ensue.
 Cooperation between the four great brotherhoods ods-engineers, firemen, con ductors and trainmen-for the first time several years ago proved the power of united action in passage of the Adamson act.

ANTITRUST SUITS
 1 TO BE INSTITUTED
Attorney General Announces
 That Meat Packers Will Un- dergo PrOsecutiOn-President Still Active.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Anti-trust
 soits against the great meat packing
 firms were announced today by Attor-
 ,ov General Palmer as the first con- .rete development of the governments .omnaign to reduce the high cost of living.
 Armour, Swift, Morris, Wilson and Cudahy, who have been pictured in khe investigations of the federal trade commission and before congressional pommittees as great combination in eontrol of food products are to be hauled again before the federal courts by special prosecutors.
 The evidence in hand, Attorney
 General Palmer declared, indicated "a Hear violation of the antitrust laws"
 Whether the prosecutions will be twil or criminal, the attorney general beclined to state, merely recalling khat the law provided for both.
 The history of all the governments bnti-trust prosecutions in 25 years ]oes not show single individual ever serving jail sentence for violation. There are evidences that the govern nent hopes for some in the present tampaign.
 l While he was announcing prosecu-
 ions of the packers, Attorney General Palmer was unleashing his special hgents on countrywide trial of pro- hteering and food hoarding. These brosecutions come under the food con- rol law.
 All United States attorneys were instructed to ferret out food hoards bnd libel them under federal law. "This is the most important busi- pess before the country today" an bounced the attorney general, "and l propose to have the law enforcement machinery of the government side track everything to this job.' President Wilson continued to give flose attention to the food cost prob lem and declined a proposal to post bone his address to congress until Tuesday next week instead of this Friday. Republican Floor Leader Mon Dell, of the House, suggested the post ponement because of absence of mem pers from Washington, but the presi- Dent declined in a letter to the Re- publican leader.

STRIKE PARALYzES
new YORK LINES
Officials Investigate Reported Con-
spiracy Between Company and the
Brotherhood.

view YORK, Aug. 17.-IhC vast sub
way and elevated system of the In
terborough Rapid Transit Company,
operating in Manhattan the Bronx and
parts of Brooklyn and Queens, was
completely paralyzed today by strike
called last night by P. J. Connolly act
ing president of the Brotherhood of
lnterborough Rapid Transit Company
Employees. The day passed without
violence.
! The tieup, which began promptly at
a. m. as ordered win the refusals
of crews to start runs from the car
barns, became absolute at 6 a. M,
when the last of the trains sent out
before a o'clock completed their runs,
were shunted into the barns and
abandoned.
At that hour strikers in the Inter-
borough power houses srut off the
power, causing a temporary stoppage
of traffic on the surface lines of the
New York railways and the Manaht-
tan spurs of the Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit Company, which use 1nterborough
power.
Three power houses resumed opcr-
alton an hour later, however, permit
ting resumption of traffic on these
lines, which were jammed throughout
the day, as were the steam railroads,
automobile trucks, Sightseeing busses
and bot lines, which cssaycd to take
care of the crowds.
With every prospect of IL continu-
alton of the absolute ticup tomorrow,
city officials and the public service
commission were bending every effort
tonight toward providing emergency
transportation for the nearly 2,5OO,OO
persons who will swarm the thorough
fares leading into Manhattan seeking
transportation to their places Of en-
ploymcnt.
More than 200 large motor trucks
and sightseeing busses have been
pressed into service and operate over
routes corresponding to those Of the
lnterborough system.
The strike which began this morn
ing was declared by the police to be so
far, one of the most orderly large
strikes ever called in New York, but
it was intimated that serious trouble
might be expected if the company de-
cided to make an attempt to operate
the lines.
Investigations by District Attorney
Swami, of New York county, and Dis
trict Attorney Martin, of the Bronx,
will be resumed tomorrow in an effort
to obtain evidence in substantiation of
Mayor Hylan's charge that the strike
was the result of colusion between
officials of the Interborough and the
brotherhood, which is company
union, in an effort to force an increase
in fares.
Harry Jones, national organizer of
the Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway Employees
which is perfecting an organization of
lnterborough employees as rival of
the brotherhood organization, charged
tonight that officials Of the company
had refused an offer of the Amalga
mated to furnish the company with
1000 men to run trains.
Dl .rict Attorney Martin announced
tonight he had received several reports
that strikers had declared they did not
care how long the strike lasted as thew
were getting paid for striking" :,
One of the reports, he added, quoted

Why Teachers Must Organize

Time was when it seemed in
credible that school teachers would
ever find it necessary to organize
in order to obtain fair pay and fair
working conditions, but when the
teachers of some cities discovered
that the garbage collectors, aided
by labor union affiliations, were
getting better wages than the
teachers and were in line to OBJ
tain more favorable pension con-
sideration than teachers could
hope for, the teachers began to see
the necessity for organization.
They discovered, at length, says
Christian Science Monitor, what
the entire social body, usually re-
ferred to as "the middle class"
is beginning to find out, that in a
highly organized world he is a
rare individual indeed who can
hope to get his rights unless by
joint action with others situated
and equipped like himself.

Rabbit Skins i'm Great Demand

In recent years several kinds Of
fur, formerly of so little value as
to offer no inducement to the
trapper, have been raised in price,
and consequently collecting them
has been made profitable. Rabbit
pelts, which are extensively used
by hat makers, are among these
products. One eastern concern
has announced that it will need
100000 rabbit skins during 1919
and 1920, and it desires as far as
possible to secure them from A
merican sources. This is an indi-
cation of a market which should
interest many a farmer boy. This
fall and winter dried, cased rabbit
skins will probably bring a reason
ably good return. They are sold
by the pound which will contain
seven or eight skins. Many farm
boys can readily acquire, in the
course Of the winter, large numb
ers of skins which will net them
a tidy sum and, in addition, they
will have the pleasure of trapping
experience. The United States De-
partment Of Agriculture will sup
ply any inquirer with the names
and addresses of possible purchas-
ers of rabbit skins and other pelts

INTRODUCING
BONUS BILLS in
CONGRESS
American Legion Weekly De
clares it to be Favorite
Indoor Sport

According to the American Leg
ion Weekly:
Zone of the most popular indoor
sports at Washington at present
appears to- be introducing bonus
bills in Congress. On the first OF
October the total was thirty-six
with every prospect Of an increase
now that brisk, cool days have sue
ceeded summers heat and man
can put some energy into his work.
Probably the only pastime that riv-
ais it in Congressional esteem is
introducing measures to provide
farm land for former service men.
CHANGING over the list Of bonus
bills and their provisions, the vet
eran can take his pick, if he hap
pens to favor a cash bonus. In
digent ex-officers who favor a bon
us cannot be expected to stump
the country in favor Of the meas
use promulgated by Representative
Bell, Of Georgia, which would cut
the commissioned personnel off
without a cent, and give $50, pay
able in bonds or cash, to every
enlisted man, for every month he
served On the other hand, Sena-
tor Gronna, of North Dakota, may
be assured Of the captains vote,
for they would be the most hand
somely benefited by his measure,
which would give a years pay to
all who served before the armis-
tice, expecting those whose base
pay exceeded S2,400.
Many Of the Congressman who
have fathered bonus bills have cir
cularized their districts with ex-
tracts of the Record containing
their measures, so that the folks
back home will know what their
Representative is willing to do for
the boys"
THE situation is not sufficiently
clarified to say which bill intro
duced, or yet to come, will become
the center of interest and atten-
tion. Consideration is being given
to drafting bills providing what
might be summarized in a phase as
constructive bonus,' the theory
being that something ought to be
done for the service men that
would be of permanent benefit to
ALL"
