Mr.. Johnson is an inspector for the

of the screening ordinance.

According to international law,

to The Hague Convention of 1907,
every serious violation Of the armis-

"A violation of the terms of the

right of demanding the punishment

ITO public officers, railroad officers

"A strike is in progress on the part
OF the train and enginemen and
yardmen on the steam roads being
operated by the United States gov

that company. The property of that
company is not in the possession or

on the steam railroads was entered

promoters of independent movements
is that the republican party is divided
and that the dominant faction is head
ed right about face away from pro-
gressive influences and straight for
the reactionary camp. AmpIfying
the first point, the independents who
are combing the country for a leader
asert that the country wants a change,
but that ii does not want proxy
change and that the democratic lead
ers appear incompetent to prevent
Mr.. Wilson from imposing his will on
them. They are confident that if he
is not a candidate himself he will die
tate the nomination and the platform
of the next democratic convention.
Wherefore, they say, little nope for
improvement in present democratic
conditions is probable. On the sec
ond point the independents hold that
an entirely new combination is neces-
sary to save the country from re-
certainty that the republicans will
have the support of the business in
terests of the country, which will COM
pei the subordination of factional diff
dictionary policies" because of the
ferences and make for complete party
cohesion.
In other words, the promoters of
the Independent movements believe
that the republicans are going to
prove harder to beat than the demo-
Gratis They therefore argue that If
any Independent movement is to sue
ceed it must draw most heavily from
the democratic party, or surrender
to it.
The strongest Independent elements
upon which the promoters of the vari-
Gus new party projects are counting
are the Non-Partisan League, which
is assuming formidable proportions
in the northwest. with one state
(North Dakota) to its credit; the un-
classified women voters; the soldier
and sailor forces; the BoIshevist fac
ton in labor circles, including the
I. w. W.; the anti-tax dissenters
among the agriculturists; the Irish
mpathizers, disgruntled over the re-
fusal of the peace conference to ac-
cede to their demands; the pro-Ger
man element, aggreved over the PEN
alties imposed on the people from
which they sprang; the antiprohibi-
tionists, afronted at the manner in

in an orderly manner without sus-
pension of work, The strike is also
an Illegal strike under the laws Of
the organizations to which the strik-
ers belong and has been so charac-
terized by the chief executives of
those organizations.
Under Wilson's Order.
1.-THE chief executives of these or
ganizations stated that they believed
they could induce their men to go
back to work and urged that they be-
given time to enable them to do so.
The railroad administration has given
the time for this purpose. The di-
rector general also has by publica-
ton in the newspapers of San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles, urged upon
the strikers the absence of justitica-
tion for their action and the impor-
tance of returning to work Never
theless, many of the strikers have
not yet returned to work and to
large extent the public service which
the government must render to the
public is at a standstill. II follows
that the only course which the gov
ernment can adopt is to exercise its
entire power for the purpose of rem
dering the public service, and the
president has so instructed.
"All striking employees who do not
report for duty on and after I o'clock

COMMITTEE SAYS RYAN
WASTED GOVERNNlENTFUNDS
IN SPRUCE PRODUCTION
(By Morning Journal Special Leased Wire)

Portland, Ore. Aug. 2S.--Charges
that approximately $1,000 600 of gov
ernment funds had been "squandered,
misapplied and converted to the pros
pective uses of the Milwaukee rail-
road interests" were contained in a
report telegraphed today to Secretary
of War Baker by the congressional
committee investigating operations of
the spruce production division.
The report declares that the eX-
penditure of the spruce production
division were ''wasteful and unnec-
essary" and concludes by saying that
further investigation may disclose
conditions upon which a recovery can
be had against John d. Ryan and
others who are responsible for this
wasteful expenditure of public funds"
The report was signed by Repre-

peace in the United States, according
to the legislative council of the rail-
road shop crafts, depends on the re-
suits the government can show in the
next ninety days in it's campaign to
reduce the cost of living.
That time limit was tacitly set to-
day by the legislative council in sug-
gesting to union locals throughout
the country that President Wilson's
compromise offer in response to their
demand for higher. wages should be
accepted pending the outcome of the
effort to restore normal price level,
If the cost of living does not come
down, the 100000 members of the
shop crafts would reserve the right
to strike for more money; and with
them probably would be associated
the remainder of the 2 100000 rail-
road employees, all of wh9m have been
considering the same problem.
Makes Them Feel Better
The letter of the executive council
served to compose somewhat the un-
easiness felt in official circles over
the immediate labor situation and to
focus attention or the legal measures
being directed by Attorney General
Palmer and his assistant, Judge
Ames, to take the initiation out Of
prices, to punish hOarders and profit
eers.
I'm our opinion the letter says,
"the next ninety days will bring the
entire situation to head and If a
strike is to take place every class of
railroad employees shotld be willing
to join in the movement, share their
fun measure of responsibility and not
leave the issue to be decided by the

Some Apprehension.
Apprehension was evident. how
ever, both in the letter and in the
conversation of the officers that the
men might not be willing to accept
the suggestion that the question of q
strike be left in the hands of the ex-
ecutive council and a suspension Of
work to be ordered only after "rea
sonable time" had made il clear that
such a step was necessary to afford
relief. The letter said the proposal
was certain to draw criticism from
individuals who "have not as yet in
dicated a desire to listen to reason"
and that 1t was conceiva BILE some men
would want to rush into a strike now
Officers of the unions declined to
hazard a guess whether the advice
would prevail, but hoped that tho
more moderate element would domi-
nate the deliberations.
Attorney General Palmer had said
that few convictions for flagrant
cases of profiteering and boarding
would end that trouble within sixty
days. In order to obtain criminal
convictions for such persons, whom
the administration believes to be
guilty of bringing the country into
more serious danger even than the
war with Germany, amendment to the
