New York.-At the Bide-a-Wee home
for animals attention is focused Just
now on bringing about the speedy re-
covery Of Jim, mascot of the British
mine sweeper Canada. Jim is a goat,
with a rigid conception of duty, and
the effect of discipline led him to leap

injuries. He was rescued from the
East river and placed In the hands of
the Bide-a-Wee management for treat
ment.

many tricks, but he neglected to warn
him against leaping overheard. A men,
Der Of the crew Of the Canada, which

RACE RIOT COOLS DOWN
THIRTY-TWO KILLED AND SEW
ERAL HUNDRED HURT.
DE LA SALE INSTITUTE MARKED
FOR DESTRUCTION IN
CHICAGO.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Chicago, Aug. IA well-defined
plot to blow up DE Ia 81 lie Institute,
a Catholic institution ut Wabash ave
nue. and T|hirty-fifth street, with dyna-
mite and start n series of fires and
bomb outrageS that might have led to
Il city-wide co%nflagration, was assert
ed by Mayor Thompson To have been
responsible for his action in calling
out the troops during the rice rioting
here. A. evidence of the plot, he
pointed out, the information that came
To the mayor and his aids was to the
effect that attempts would be made to
shut out police and firemen from the
threatened areas. Guy wires removed
from trolley poles were to be stretched
across the streets at IA height above
the ground where they would sweep
police and firemen responding 10
alarms vi of their apparatus or We
hicles, II was declared.
The plotters, knowing the trolley
wires carried no current on cc,un
OF the stree car strike, removed some
guy wires and fixed them across sew
eral streets.
Thus far the race feud that has
killed thirty-two men and beaten,
kicked, stoned, stabbed and shot more
than 300 others, still shoulders.
With G,Oo0 STATE troops, reinforced
by hundreds of police, p%atrolling the
riot crnlers, the district was calm,
with the exception Of disturbances in
the stockyards region. There the first
serious clash occurred between rioters
aud the militia. Other districts which
heretofore have been the center OF
stirring battle scenes were orderly,
but the battle between troops and
white rioters at the yards promised
serious consequences until the soldiers
cowed the mob with %bayonets.
Two companies of the Third infan-
try, awaiting orders at Garfield boule-
ward and Winthrop avenue, dispersed
n mob Of whites attacking colored res
idents near Garfield boulevard and
Normal avenue shortly before noon.
Two mounted policemen, discovering
whites stoning negro homes and fear
ing arson, galloped down Garfield
boulevard 10 the soldier post, asking
aid.
The troops piled into motor trucks,
made "a quick run down the boule-
ward, posted their machine guns and
their lookouts-but the white rioters
had fled.
Machine guns, with their crews
posted and belts filled with ammuni-
ton ready for action, were placed to-
day AT four street intersections by Of
ficers and men of the Eleventh regi-
of reserve militia.
Despite the vigilance of the soldiers,
however, n number OF clashes DE-
CURED between whites and negroes.
Three white men were shot down In
revolver battles, receiving critical
wounds. A white mar and a colored
man were sent To the county hospital
when they were severely beaten.
were n number of arrests made.
The troops have done excellent
work. Adjutant General Dickson said
he was proud of them. Their COM
handlers said they acted like veterans.
They saved many lives, protected
property; and they we've cool and
steady facing angry mobs that u
numbered them many times.

WANT CONTROL
OF RAILROADS
LABOR UNIONS WOULD DUST
PRIVATE OWNERSHIP FROM
RAIL LINES.
TR|PART|TE OWNERSHIP
WOULD PUT POWER OF OPERA
TON IN THE PUBLIC AND
UNION.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, Aug. 5-Organized la
Dor has come Out with the unequivocal,
formal demand that private capital be
retired from the railroads. A tripar-
tite control, composed of the public,
the operating management and the nm
pl0yes, is demanded instead. Addressed
to the American public and signed by
the engineers, the firemen, the con
ductors and the American Federation
of Labor, a formal statement is issued
announcing This proposal, which Will
be carried before Congress.
III marks says the statement,
the step by which organized labor
passed from demands for wage in
creaseS To demands that the system Of
profits in industry be Overhauled.'
This sentence sums up in n few
words the proposal of which there
have been hints and indications, but
which is now laid before the country
for the first time. Everywhere in Of
ficial Washington it is recognized rs
the most serious and far-rcaching
proposition the country will hr called
on TO face.
Charactcrizing the proposal as Ia
bor'S bill,' it l. put forth rs ii reme ~
for the high cost of living, because
the railroads are the key industry of
the nation. II demands the genuine
cooperation and partnership based on
Il real community of interest and par
ticipation in control of which rresi-
dent Wilson spoke to Congress and
which the statement says has been
ignored by labor and the private own
ers Of the railroads.
I'VE ask" il says, "that the rail
roads of the United States be vested
in the public; that those actually en-
gagged in conducting that industry, not
from Wall street, but from the rail
road offices and yards and out on the
railroad lines, shall take charge of this
service for the public"
Briefly, lahor'S plan demands:
That private capital he eliminated
from the railroads.
That the private owners receive for
them government bonds with IA fixed
interest return for every honest dollar
that they have invested
That the tri-partitc control, hereto
fore referred Ia, be established in cor
porations which shall lease the roads
and in which the public, the operating
arrangements and labor shall he rep
resented equally.
That the public, the operators AMI
the wage Farmers shall equally share
all revenue in excess of the guarantee
10 private capital, 10y granting Ia the
operators and the employees one-half
the savings which are expected to he
made by such II perfected organiza-
tion and to the public the other half
ms consumers, either by increasing
service without adding costs or by re-
ducing costs.
This role originates with labor,
says the statement, because labor
happens Ia have firm organizations
through which II may become articu-
late"
The trainmcn were not represented
in the statement because W. g. Lee,
president Of the brotherhood, was out
of the city, but ii was said that they
join in II.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Unless the

Washington, Aug. 1.-The high cost
of living is the target of half a dozen
moves in Congress now.
The Senate engaged in a long de
bate over Il resolution introduced by
Senator Myers of Montana, attrihut-
ing the cost of living to currency in
flation and directing the banking and
currency committee To recommend
legislation for the gradual reduction
of money in circulation, and Senator
Mcclellan proposed IA resolution creat-
ing Il joint congressional committee to
investigate the cost of living. No ac-
tion was taken N 1t.
The Myers resolution contains the
statement that on Aug. /, 1914, the
money in circulation aggregated So
3G1 ,0oO,0O0 and that on July l, 1919, it
had increased to S5,S4l 100000. Sen
ator Myers contended 1t was hopeless
to try to bring down the cost of living
until deflation was started.
In the House favorable action was
taken on the lg0e resolution for IN
Investigation by the Federal Trade
Commission of the increased price of
shoes.
In calling up his resolution in the
Senate, Senator Myers declared that if
the United States is determined to
carry the burdens of the economic
world, there can be no hope of early
beginning of deflation.
1T Is time" he said, "for America
to begin 10 look to the interests of
its Owl people first"
american money is ut a discount

ance of trade is favorable to u.s." said
Senator King of Utah, while under
the inevitable law which governs eX-
changes N money is ut "A premium in
countries which have an ~unfavorable
balance of trade with the United
States"
"The government, during the war,
In order Il induce increased prOduc-
ton, deliberately permitted combina-
tions of producers TO maintain high
prices, and even fixed high prices on
many necessities and guaranteed their
maintenance" said Senator Kirby of
Arkansas. "This was done for a very
proper and necessary purpose, but the
of 1t are with us yet.
even today the government Is hold
ing back from sale great quantities of
foodstuffs In its possession, and is re-
thousands of motor cars, not
permitting them to go on the market
lest their sale would reduce the prices
manufacturers must take for
their current production. Thus, the
governments part is to maintain the
inflated basis Of value created during
the war. The time has come when the
government should adopt a different
program.
IL consider that the time has come
for vigorous measures to remedy these
and | intend shortly to in
troduce a resolution which | believe
may be useful"
