GRAIN MEN FIGHT
FREIGHT RATE CUT
Inland Empire Land and Warehouse
Owners Favor Maintaining
Present Schedule.

Seattle.-Flour milling interests in
Portland are not advocating a pref
erential freight rate for that city, &C.
cording to testimony at the interstate
commerce commission hearing here by
O. ID. Fisher, president of a large mill

ture, he asserted, would seriously hurt
Seattle and Tacoma flour mill inter-
ests.
Land owners and warehouse men of
the wheat belt tributary to Coast ter
minals, in the case in which Portland
is seeking lower rate from Inland
Empire points than Puget Sound and
Astoria enjoy, testified that wheat
growers Of the Inland Empire favor
the present f eight rate parity.

Accept Wage 6oost-Public
to Foot the Bill.

Chicago-Chicago streetcar men
have voted to end the strike by a ma
jority of 1856. Car service was re-
sumed Aug 2 on both surface and
elevated lines, which had been tied
up five days by a strike of $1,000 men
The vote was taken on acceptance
of proposition agreed upon by rep
resentatives Of the union and the
companies, but which the member
ship rejected, voting to strike imme-
diately. Radical leaders dominated
that meeting, union officials declared,
and the referendum vote was taken.
Men Gain Increase.
The men gain an increase from 48
to 50 cents on surface lines and from
81 to 81 cents on the elevated roads,
with the eight-hour day, time and
one-half for overtime work and a re-
arrangement of runs
The agreement between represent
atives of the men and companies was
made through negotiations in which
the state public utilities commission
participated 1t is understood that
the commission will open a hearing
on the elevated companies applica-
ton for higher fares and that later
the surface lines will file an appli-
cation.
Rapid hearings ere expected, with
a decision for fares increased from 5
to cents on the surface lines and
from 6 to 7 or cents on the eleva-
ted roads. To meet the benefits
granted the employees, the public prob
ably will have to pay sum in ex-
cess of sS,0OO,O0O annually.

UNIONS DEMAND
RAILWAYS FUNDS
TRIPARTITE CONTROL OF RAIL-
ROADS Is DEMANDED BY
THE UNIONS.
RETIRE ALL PRIVATE CAPITAL
System Of Profits Must Be Over
hauled. Says acknowledgement
Supported by Employees to Be
Carried Before Congress.

Washington, d. C.-Organized labor
came out Monday with the unequiv-
ocal, formal demand that private cap
ital be retired from the railroads.
A tripartite control composed of
the public, the operating management
and the employees is demanded in
stead.
Addressed to the American public
and signed by the engineers, the fire
men, the conductors and the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, formal
statement was issued announcing this
proposal which will be carried be-
fore congress this week.
1T marks" says the statement,
'the step by which organized labor
passes from demands for wage in
creases to demands that the system
of profits in industry be overhauled"
The sentence sums up in a few
words the proposal. of which there
have been hints and indications, but
which is now laid before the coun-
try for the first time. Everywhere in
official Washington it is recognized
as the most serious and far-reaching
proposition the country will be called
on to face.
Call Proposal "Labor's Bill"
Characterizing the proposal as ia.
boris BILL" it is put forth as a rem
edy for the high cost of living, be-
cause the railroads are the key in.
dustry of the nation.
Briefly, labor's plan demands:
THAT private capital be eliminated
from the railroads.
That the private owners receive
for them government bonds, with a
fixed interest return for every honest
dollar that they have invested
That the public, the operators and
the wage earners share equally all
revenue in excess of the guarantee to
private capital, by granting to the
operators and the employees one-half
the savings which are expected to be
made by such perfected organiza
ton, and to the public the other half
as consumers, either by increasing
service without adding costs or by
reducing costs"

RUMANIANS ARE TOLD

Paris.-The supreme inter-allied
council has sent a message to the
Rumanian government requesting the
Rumanian army along the Thiess riv-

Immediately. The council eagerly
awaited further communication from
the new Hungarian government at
Budapest.
The note, which the supreme coun-
Gil communicated to the new Hun
garian government through the Ital.
ian mission in Budapest, was temper
ate in tone, showing that the dispo-
sition on the part Of the peace con-
ference to assist the Hungarian peo-
pie in an effort to create stable gov
eminent need not in any sense be
considered a threat Of violence as
against the new government. 1t laid
stress, however, on the necessity for
Hungary to comply with the terms of
the armistice and disarm completely

Budapest.-The city Monday pre-
scented a pitiful appearance after the
flight of the communists. The streets
are half deserted. no stores are open,
there is little food in the hotels or
private houses, and no soap, coffee,
tobacco or linen is to be had.
Many windows are broken. The
people move about aimlessly, but
smiles have replaced the looks Of
terror previously on their faces.
The new cabinet is sitting daily,
working on the task Of reconstruction
and the bringing about of order.

RAILROAD CRISIS
OVER THE COUNTRY
HOUSE CANCELS PROPOSED RE.
CESS AT REQUEST OF THE
PRESIDENT.
CONGRESS IS ASKED TO HELP
Suggests That Commission BE Named
to Determine Wage Question
Wants Power Mandatory Over
Interstate Commission.

Washington, D. CA new labor
CRISIS, growing out Of the high cost
OF living, is facing the railroad ad-
ministration. So pressing are the de-
mands of the railroad employees for
more pay to maintain their standard
of living that President Wilson, fol-
lowing extended conferences with Di-
rector General Hines, asked the house
OF representatives to abandon a pro-
posed recess of five weeks, begin
ming this week, and remain in Wash
ington to consider the creation of a
commission which would determine
all questions concerning the wages Of
railway workers.
The house voted to comply with
the presidents request.
The president took a new step in
railroad legislation in suggesting to
congress that the act to create the
commission should make the deci-
sions of that body mandatory upon
the rate-making body and provide,
when necessary, increased rates to
cover any recommendations for in
creases in wages, and therefore in
the cost of operating the railroads"
Increased Rates Up to Congress.
This was the first time that con-
gress ever was asked by the chief
executive to order, the interstate COM
merce commission to advance rates.
Mr.. Wilson's letter addressed to the
chairmen of the house and senate in
terstate commerce committees, vir-
tually transfers to the floor of con-
gress whether there shall be an in
crease in transportation charges, long
forecast by the steadily growing de-
ficit arising from the failure of rail-
road income to equal the government
guarantee.
Net Income Shows Deficit.
Net operating income of the roads
under federal control amounted to
approximately $51,8O0,0OO in June,
leaving a reficit of $23,O00,O 900, COM
pared with one-twelfth of the guar
anteed annual rental and a deficit of
3O,500,0O0, as compared with the av-
erage income in June of the three
year test period on which the annual
rental was based.
For the first six months of the
calendar year, the deficit amounted to
more than 1926, OO0, 900, compared with
one-half the annual rental. The half
year net income was less than / per
cent on the $4,000. OO0. 900 Of railroad
property taken over by the govern
ment. Director General Hines de-
clared the falling off in freight bust
ness continued to be an important
factor in the deficit, combined with
increases in rates which have been
on much lower percentage than in
creases in wages and prices of mate
rails.

SURPLUS ARMY FOOD
GOVERNMENT DECIDES TO MOVE
TO REDUCE HIGH COST
OF LIVING.

Meat, Will Go to Pubiic-WiIi Hit
Profiteers-Presden Gets
Full Reports.

Washington, d. C.-In the face OF
growing unrest over the high cost Of
living, as indicated by the spreading
strike of railroad workers, many gov
eminent agencies moved Monday in
efforts to effect a return to normal
price levels.
Immediate sale of all surplus food
stuffs purchased for the army, instead
of only canned goods. was ordered by
the war department. Millions of
pounds Of meat. beans, pumpkin and
squash, and other commodities will be
offered to the public Monday, August
IS, through the parcel post system, at
prices materially lower than those
now prevailing in the market. Pur-
chasers will have to pay the posage
charges from the place of storage.
Director General Hines, Commits
sioner Colver and Assistant Secretary
Leffingwell. appointed by the confer
ence assembled by Attorney General
Palmer to recommend steps to reduce
living costs, were instructed partic-
ularly to deal with profiteering and
to suggest how law enforcement agen-
cies should proceed to bring to JUS
tice men guilty of extortion through
unreasonable prices.
May Deal With Wheat Crop.
If any recommendation is made to
congress it is believed most likely
that it will deal with sale of the
wheat crop at market prices and the
absorption by the government of the
loss between the price and the 1926
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 resolu-
ton asking the banking committee
whether reduction Of the currency in
flation would help the situation.

A BIG INDEMNITY

By THE ALLIES.
PROPOSED DIVISION OF THRACE
Greece to Get West Part, Leaving
Bulgaria Outlet to Sea-lift Russ
Embargo, Except on War Sup
plies for Bolsheviki.

Paris.-Reparation bill decided for
the Bulgarian treaty totals nearly g.
0O0, 100000 francs, which Sofia must
pay the Rumanians, Serbians and
Greeks. prior to the war a franc
was worth 1873 cents in United States
money.
Proposals made for a division of
Thrace, granting the extreme western
portion to Greece and leaving the
Bulgarians an outlet upon the Aegean
sea, seems likely to be accepted Vir-
tually the Serbian territory aspira-
tions are realized at Bulgaria's ex-
pense. and Dobrudja remains to the
Rumanians.
To Lift Russian Blockade.
The Russian blockade was brought
up by the British, showing the dan
gerous position of the Archangel
forces which would be still further
menaced if the bolshevik troops OPP
posing them could receive supplies
and munitions.
In view of the fact that the allies
are not actually at war with Russia
it is believed that blockade techni-
cally will be lifted and an embargo
substituted-the embargo consisting
of giving the British navy the right
to stop and search vessels proceed
ing towards Russia and to examine
the cargoeS for arms and war mate
rial.
Certain foodstuffs would be permit
ted to proceed to Russia at the same
time the British are taking steps to
prevent imports of materia! which
might be used in warfare from going
through Germany to Russia. Those
familiar with the situation assert that
the vast amount of war material sent
to Russia by the allies before the
revolution and the huge amount of
supplies abandoned by the Germans
when they quit Russia after the arm
istice should be nearly exhausted by
now, particularly as much Of this ma
terial has been ruined by remaining
without protection from the weather
large amount was of a perishable
character. Since virtually no NUM-
tions have been made in Russia since
the revolution the bolsheviks should
soon be running short of war mate
rial, it is believed.
Tittoni Confers With Hoover.
Minister Tittoni recently conferred
with Mr.. Hoover regarding renewing
the financial and economic agree
ment among the allies which existed
during the war. Strong pressure is
being marshalled to exert against the
United States by Great Britain and
France. and also to reestablish fix
ed rate of exchange and credits pend
ing the agreement by the reparations
commission upon the amount Ger
many must pay for war indemnity.
This is believed to be the only thing
to prevent the franc and pound both
from dropping further.
