However. feeling was aggravated by

Governor Blames Labor Trouble.
Gov. L WIDEN expressed the belief
that labo, trouble rather than race
feeling was responsible for the fires,
despite statements that witnesses had
reported to the IRE attorney that they
saw negroes setting fires in the neigh

The homes burned were chiefly
those Of Lithuanian and Polish fami-
lies. and the governor thought re-
ports indicated radical labor men had
started the blazes because the foreign
workers had not supported their
plans.
Troops were on duty tonight at the
fire ruins and in the negro residence

have been opened to homeless fami-

No Lasting Industrial Peace

Says Gov. LoWden.
STATES FIGHT FOOD MEN

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August Gov. Frank
o. Lowden Of Illinois issued a state
ment today declaring there can be
no lasting relief from the prevailing
Industrial unrest until the high cost
of living problem has been solved.
He said the question must be solved
by the federal government without
delay If national disaster is to be
averted.
1.-THE most serious menace to the
future peace OF the country is the
constant increase in the cost of liv-
ing" he said. Until that increase
is checked and the tendency starts
in the other direction there will be
no permanent industrial peace.
IT know It Is perplexing problem
But surely g. people which accom-
plished during the war in at least
dozen different directions what had
seemed impossible will not fail If II
attacks this problem in the same
spirit and with the same determine

10000 in Canada Return
able August "a.

Dissatisfied with President Wilson's
proposal to have Congress create
special body to pass on their demands
or consider them in connection with
the high cost Of living problem, the
railway shopmen' began yesterday to
take an official strike vote.
The .shopmen contend that the rail-
way wage board of the railroad ad-
ministration should pass on their de-
mands and failing favorable action
strike Of 100000 men is threatened.
labor officials said. 81
B. NJ. Jewell, acting president of the
railway employees department of the
American Federation Of Labor. said
last night that Director General
Hines had been informed by the COM
mittee representing the shopmen of
their. dissatisfaction with the sug-
gestion that Congress intervene.
Subject Once Thrashed Out.
Acting in behalf of the six shop
crafts a committee Of one hundred
presented to the director general Of
railroads on January 7sslast the re-
ouest for an increase, in the wage
scales" Mr.. Jewell said. ION February
the question was referred to the
board Of adjustment Of railway wages
and working conditions. During
March and tAprii the whole subject
was threshed out at hearings Of the
board, and on July 1s the board made
it's recommendation to the director
general
.Following conference with Mr..
Hines on, July %. we believed that the
question had finally come to head
and expected decision. The letter
from Mr.. Hines to President Wilson
followed; and that solution we have
positively, rejected.
Call for Strike Vote.
1--WE have now decided to send out
the call for strike vote, returnable
August "a at midnight, to the 100000
employees of American, railroads and
the 10000 employees of Canadian rail-
roads affected. The shop crafts ask
for q minimum Of SIS cents an hour
for mechanics. an increase Of II cents;
. minimum Of go cents for helpers. an
increase of IL cents. and an increase
of 10 cents per hour: for-apprentices.
THE Canadian employees are In
volyed by, reason Of the fact that
their wage and working conditions.
under an. agreement reached, with
the railroad board, are based on
standards as they are adopted In the
United States.
I'VE shall continue to endeavor to
settle the demands by negotiation
with the railroad administration,
pending receipt Of the strike vote.
