Chicago Aug. 9.-Every single

contrary might have been looked for
from the address of President Wilson

of the government crop report, issued
yesterday shortly before he spoke.
So impressed were traders with the
7.5 per cent crop loss In July that the
presidents views were virtually ig-

brotherhoods for control of the rail-
roads was applied to the postoffice,
that department would be conducted
with greater efficiency.

Representative Dewalt. democrat. of
Pennsylvania, questioned the witness
regarding the attitude Of labor in event
the Plumb bill failed of passage.
There has been a great deal OF
Misrepresentation published" Plumb
said. ut was stated we would force
a strike II the plan failed. No one
ever said that. In fact such a report
was denied by Mr.. Stone. Mr.. Morrison
and myself. The fact Is certain wage
demands are pending and the question
Of a strike arose in connection with
that. This is a different matter. 1t is
a question Of craftsmanship and we
would be blind ourselves to our own
interests if we threatened to strike"
Answering another question, Plumb
said labor organizations had no inten-
ton Of attempting to put the tripartite
plan into effect in other industries un-
less the workers and public desired
1t.
The railroad industry he said, us
organized and is appealing to the
public" "..
Suppose majority Of the farmers
Of the country concluded this would

should have it?"' Dewalt asked.
IF the farmers and the public want
it, yes. But think that an absurd

INFORMATION ON BONDS.
Victory Notes Differ From Previous
loans-Have Interest Coupon.


Chicago Aug. 9-Information for the
protection Of the holders of victory
liberty loan bonds was given out yes
terday by the federal reserve bank Of
Chicago. The victory notes differed
from the previous issues Of the Liber-
ty bonds by having an interest cou-
pom attached. Because of the odd in
terest date and to avoid delay in the
issuance Of the interest checks cou-
pom was attached to the Victory Notes
for the interest from May 20 to De-
cember Is. The interest for all sue
ceeding periods are paid by check. In
previous issues OF the Liberty Bonds
all interest was paid by check. So the
Federal Reserve Bank has called at
tention to the fact Of the odd interest
period coupon, which may not be un-
derstoot BY the owners Of Victory
Notes. IT Is possible for unscrupulous
persons, 1t was pointed out, to cut off
this coupon and the holder OF the bond
might not discover the loss OF the in
terest on HIS bond until he had receiv-
ed the checks Tor the other periods.
we think this warning is due the
Subtle, said an official OF the Federal
Reserve Bank. "The Treasury Depart
ment found 1t necessary on account of
the odd interest period OF the Victory
Notes to attach coupon covering the
interest from May 20 to December Is.
Another reason for this was to avoid
delay in the issuance Of checks for the
interest periods. All but the first in
terest is paid by checks. But as no
other issues Of the Liberty bonds have
had such a coupon attached owners Of
Victory Notes might overlook it and
there is chance of it being cut off by
INSCRIPTIONS persons thus depriving
the rightful owner Of the interest Of
the first period. This coupon, Of course.
is only attached to registered bonds.
There is no way Of preventing pay
ment on these coupons, SO for that
reason the bank feels the public should
be acquainted with the facts"
