the showing that while there were
1926 incomes over 100000 in 1916
the number was reduced to lois in
1917. The million dollar incomes de-

One resolution proposes that the

due to the unrest arising from mount
ing living costs. The railroads and
government departments had better
be assisting "to crush profiteering''
by the packers and other industries. 1"
he said, than shouting across the ta-
bic at each other" at hearings to con-
slider still further increases.
''All of us are to blame" he said,
because we are exerting every effort
to get more money for ourselves and
better conditions. Every day we must
realize that the profiteers are taking
double from the working men what
is given them; and the trouble with
the people on the hill (CapitoD with
us and with every corporation and
with everybody, is that we are exert
ing ourselves to get the dollar, while
the working man is merely existing
and while the profiteering is piling
up millions.
Going Wrong Way.
Il will admit to you gentlemen that
we are going the wrong way. ad-
nit to you that it is time to call a
halt and admit to you that until we
get together. until we commence to-
gether to stop this, there will be hell
in this cOuntry-and ii is nearer to-
day than l ever knew it in my years
of experience. Just let SOMEBODY
drop match in this country of ours
and it will be sorry day for all of "
UNLESS my vision is most terribly
obscured, then htere is something
coming to us pretty soon in this coun-
try that we had better take notice
of. We had something of peace in
this country prior to the war condi-
tions. We were getting along fairly
well until profiteering became so not
iceabie everywhere and until the COM
that working people are COM
PEELED to pay for were permitted to be
increased, double and trebled, with
out any question and often seemingly
with the approval of the government.
1--WE are nearer war in this world
today, believe, than when the kaiser
threw down the gauntlet. Our law
makers are to blame, in my opinion.
because the masses of the people
would be behind them if they would
attempt to correct it and surely there
is power TO correct it: but instead
they are playing politics. as some of
these labor organizations are playing
politics. and it is the same all down
the line"
Answering these questions, Mr.. Lee
said he did not believe m giving any
one class advantages at the expense
of another, but said as long as pres
ent methods continue he believes in
everybody getting his share. as near
ly as he can, until the final upheaval
comes, and in my opinion it is look

He declined to suggest how prices
could be reduced, saying the country
was paying millions of dollars to the
men on the hill (capitoD who are
supposed to have all the brains in the

Remedy Sought for High Prices

Washington, July 31.-Govern-
8mental machinery was set in motion
to-day in response to demands from
the public that some official action be
taken to relieve the high cost of liv-
ing.
Prices as they affect the average
consumer, assumed first place in in
terest in the capital At the White
House President Wilson was said to
be giving deep and very thoughtful
consideration" to problems presented
to him and the railroad administra-
tion by members of the railroad
brotherhoods, who represented that
prices would have to come down or
wages go up, if social unrest was not
to develop into upheaval. In the sem
ate and house the situation gave rise
to several resolutions to investigate
the cause of existing price levels, an
other to reduce the volume of cur
rency in circulation as a means of
debating prices, one to request the
attorney general to stop speculation
Late today Attorney General Pal
mer met eight high government of.
ficials whom he had summoned to his
Office for a discussion of high costs
and the best methods to pursue to eff
feet reduction. After a talk lasting
nearly three hours, the conference
disbanded to meet again, probably
next week, for further counsel based
on additional information to be col
lected in the meantime. Those at
tending the conference included Sec
retaries Glass, Houston, Redfeld and |!

man Murdoch Of the federal trade /
commission; Assistant Secretary of |

Lee Speaks Out.
1t developed today that demands
for more wages were pending before
the railroad administration from sew
eral hundred thousand employees
in foods on exchanges, and another to
sell this years wheat crop at market
prices instead of at the government
guarantee, the difference to be made
up by the government.
Perhaps the frankest talk govern
ment officials have heard in long
time came in this connection in the
statement of w. G. Lee, president of
the trainmen, before the wage adjust
ment board
MIR. Lee told the board that an in
crease in wages was not the proper
solution of the present economic hard
ships under which working men are
laboring because they would be fol-
lowed by new increases in the cost of
everything which would more than
absorb the additional pay. Until all
classes get together to stop profiteer-
ing, he said, the only thing for every
one to do is to get all the wages he
can, course, he declared, would re-
suit eventually in preciptating the
"upheaval' now staring the country
in the face.
Mr.. Lee made public an abstract of .
the report of hearings recently held
by the board of railroad wages on the /
trainmen's demands, at which he de-
clared an uphcaval was nearer in
