STRIKE IS PROBABLE
ACTION GOVERNMENT WILL
TAKE NOT MADE PUBLIC.
JEWELS CIRCULAR DIRECTS
MEN TO STOP TRANSPORTA-
TlON IN UNITED STATES.

Washington, Aug. 27.-If the railway
shopmen decide to defy President VIII
son, their Instructions are already com
plete, being set forth in circular of
Instructions from B. NJ. Jewell of the
American Federation of Labor. IF 1t
comes to strike" he writes, 1--WE want
to make the tie-up complete and keep
it in that condition until we get the
proper recognition from those who
can give it to u.s. Our success depends
entirely upon how we can stop the.
transportation service of this country.
1t is to be regretted that it Is neces-
sary to make such plans, but every
honorable means have been exhausted
in our effort to bring about settle
ment without resorting to drastic
measures"
What action the government may
be expected to take in the event of q
vote by the shopmen to strike for an
Immediate increase in wages, which
President Wilson has said would have
disastrous effect on efforts to- bring
down prices, has not been disclosed, If,
indeed, it has been considered.
Indicative of the determination of
Director General Hines and the rail-
road administration to deal fairly
with all classes of employees, the di-
rector general instructed the board on
railway wages to consider promptly
any demands that might be made and to
report recommendations for correcting
any Inequalities found to exist, though
general advances for any class will not
be made until it has been proved that
the present level of prices is perma-
nent. In that case, both the President
and Mr. Hines have given assurances
that railroad workers would receive
early readjustment of their wages.
The taking of a strike vote ordinar-
lily requires about three weeks. In the
present instance, however, it Is be-
iieved the vote may be completed ear
lier, as Instructions were given by the
international officers to the unions to
summon meetings If necessary and to
telegraph the result of the balloting.
Asking very serious consideration
of the question, the committee told the
unions that any additional general in
crease in the wages of railroad en-
ployes, virtually all of the whom have
mnde or will make demands for more
money, would include the shopmen and
they were told not to forget that 4
strike now meant tha. the shopmer
were striking alone to force an in
crease for the entire 100000 railroad
employees.

Washington. Aug. 2S.-Prices are
beginning TO turn downward in vari-
Gus parts of the country, but the
slump has not yet gathered momen-
tum sufficient to affect purchases for
Immediate use, according to reports to
the Department of Justice.
Attorney General Palmer, asked
how soon results could be expected
from the campaign to reduce the cost
of living, said all the government
wanted was fair chance to show
what could be done to take the arti-
ficial initiation out of the market He
said officials were we'll pleased with
the success so far attained and that
cumulative results were expected
when Congress enacts amendments to
the food control law by which Grim
inal penalties can be imposed on prof
iteers and hoarders.
Chicago.-A drop of 81 hundred
pounds on the average for hogs, with
lower prices for beef cattle at the
stockyards was ascribed to several
reasons and partly to the general pro-
test against the high cost of living.
Market men said the tendency was for
still lower hog prices, particularly
after the fall marketing, and they pro-
fessed to see break in high living
costs.
The public has curtailed its buying
of pork and beef recently. while live
stock receipts are large. The eastern
market failed to act as an emergency
outlet, and the packers virtually with
drew their buyers from the pens. leav-
ing thousands of hogs and cattle with
out buyers, and spectators were hard
hit.
With lower retail prices on meats
expected to result in day or two
from the lower livestock prices, other
foodstuffs, including fruits and vege-
tables, declined. In the commission
house district apples slumped % cents
u bushel, oranges 50 cents hox,
sweet potatoes % cents bushel,
peaches, % cents bananas, % cents
a bunch and cantaloupes. 25 cents n
crate; tomatoes, green corn and water
melons also sold lower.

 ONE WEEK ONLY
Program Arranged So No Time Will Be Lost
 While He Is Here.

Washington, Feb. 21.-President Wilson, arriving in Boston Monday, will spend only one week in the Uni ted States before emharking March 9th to return to Paris.
 In anticipation of week crowded with cabinet meeting, conference with the foreign relations committee of congress, the signing of bills, at tention to various domestic problems and perhaps an address to congress on the proposed league of nations, white house officials are arranging the business of the executive offices so that not single minute of the presidents time will be lost. MT. Will son will get down to business as soon as he sets foot in Boston, where Sec retary Humility went tonight with a mass of documents demanding imme- diate attention.

 After speaking in Boston Monday afternoon the president vii! return to the capital, arriving here Tuesday morning and going direct to his desk in the White House. His return to Washington coincides with the regu- lar meeting day of the cabinet, and his conference Tuesday with heads of the departments will put him in touch with any pending business.
 Wednesday night members of the Senate and House foreign relations i committee, will attend dinner at the White House to hear the president explain the various articles of the constitution of the league of nations. 1t is considered certain in official cir cles here that the dinner will be fol- lowed by an address to the congress, it was said no word on the subject had been received from MT. Wilson. i. New Appointments.
 Nomination of an attorney general to succeed Thomas w. Gregory, whose resignation becomes effective March 1st, is one of the important pieces of business to come before the president.

 sion would be called until after Mir. i Wilson concludes his work in Europe.
