WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-In the face of growing unrest over the high cost of living, as indicated by the spreading strike of railroad workers. many government agencies moved to- day in efforts to effect a return to normal price levels.
 Immediate sale of all surplus food stuffs purchased for the army. in- stead of only canned goods, was or. dered by the war department.
 Millions of pounds of meat, beans, pumpkin. squash and other commod- ities will be offered to the public Monday, August IS, through the par eel post system at prices materially lower than those now prevailing in the market. Purchasers will have to pay postage charges from the place of storage.
 Rail Director confers
 Director General Hines, Commis- sioner Colver and Assistant Secreta- " Leffingwell, before the conference assembled by Attorney General Pal. mer, to reach steps to reduce living costs, were engaged today in an ex- change of memoranda bearing on the problem. The impression went out that the committee had agreed that steps could be taken by congress which would alleviate the situation at once. but it was said at Mr. Hines' office that nothing final had been decided on. The committee was in- structed to deal with profiteering and to suggest how law enforcement agencies should proceed to bring to justice men guilty of extortion through unreasonable prices.
 To Recommend Cheaper Wheat
 If any recommendation is made to congress, it Is believed most likely that 1t will deal with the sale of the wheat crop at market price and the absorption by the government of the loss between the price and the $2.26 guaranteed the farmer.
 Congress continued to discuss the living question and at the White House President Wilson was said to be receiving full reports on all phases of it.
 The senate adopted a resolution asking the banking committee wheth- CT reduction of the currency infla, tion would help the situation. Demands Action on Shoes
 In the house an attempt to recess for two weeks was blocked by Rep- resentative Igoe. Democrat. of Mis- souri, because his resolution to have the federal trade committee investi. gate the price of shoes was not act ed upon. The new demand of rail. road employees for more wages to meet the high cost of living drew fire from Representative Blanton, Democrat. Missouri, who said the railroad men were acting like high waymen" in attempting to obtain another unfair billion dollars" raise.

HEAVY MAYORALTY
VOTE IN CHICAGO
Mayor Thorn pson's Opponents Making
Issue Of His Attitude Toward War |
Feared Split Vote Dstwsen Olson and
Msrriman Will Result in Majority
for "Dig Bill"

Chicago, Feb 25-The comparatively
heavy vote In republican wards at
today's municipal primary election was
said to reflect the feelings Of voters for
or against Mayor William Hale Thomp-
sons attitude toward the war. During
the campaign, the mayors opponents
did not fail to advertise that a. the
time of the visit of Marshal Joffre,
Mayor Thompson bore in mind that
Chicago was ."the sixth German City
OF the world.
The mayors attitude towari3tile war
first was an issue In the senatorial pri-
maries Of 1918 when Mr.. Thompson was
one Of five candidates for the republi-
can nomination for u. s. senator. The
race was principally between Thomp-
son, Congressman At Large Medill Nc
Cormick and Congressman George E.
Foss, all residents Of Chicago.
While Mccormick, with 1922 votes
in the state walked away, with the
nomination. in Chicago and the county
Of Cook the mayor led. The count vote
was Mccormick 63,742: Thompson 49,,
4s2; Foss 1s,s2s. Thus the mayor
came within s,0ss of polling as many
votes as Mccormick and Foas together.
In the city he did not poll more than
their total by = margin Of 1924 votes.
The mayors opponents are Capt
Charles Fl Merriman, long q leader in
the city council. and Judge Harry
Olson, chief Justice Of the municipal
court Both are considered worthy
candidates" and thus the, situation tor
day Is said greatlyAto resemble that Of
the primary last year and the mayors
friends claim that the city vote will
run the same, II not in favor Of their
candidate. e
