WILSON SHOWS LEAGUE PLAN
Tells Senators Original American
Proposal Contained Nothing About
the Monroe Doctrine.

Washington, Aug. 13.-The original
American draft of the League of Ma
lions covenant, sent to the senate for
eign relations committee by President
Wilson, contains several provisions
widely differing from the league COW
enant as adopted at Paris.
The much debated provisions of IA. /;
Gle Y of the present covenant for guar
anteeing the territorial integrity of
league members is almost Identical
with a clause in the American draft.
The American plan contained no
provision for withdrawal from mem
bership and made no reference to the
Monroe doctrine. 1t also contained a
provision not finally accepted under
which the league would inquire into
the feasibility of abolishing compul-
sorry military service.
President Wilson refused to send
the senate copy of General Bliss
statement concerning the Shantung
settlement. on the ground that it con-
tanned confidential reference TO other
governments.
President Wilson also informed the
senate in response tc another resolu-
ton that he was happy to say" that
he had no memorandum or informa-
ton with reference to any attempt of
the japanese delegates at Paris to in
timidate the Chinese peace delegates.

CHICAGO STRIKE ENDS
STOCK YARDS QUIET WHEN SOL
DlERs ARE WITHDRAWN.
Leaders of the Unions Satisfied and
Men Return to Work-Race
Riots Over.

chicago, Aug. 11.-ConditiOns in the
stock yards district appeared to be
again on normal basis following the
withdrawal of the police and deputy
sheriffs from guard duty in the dis
trict. Numbers of Sunday shift work
ers, who previously walked out re-
turned to work. No trouble of any
kind was experienced.
Lieut.. Ben Enright of the stock
yards station, in charge of the detail
surrounding the yards, said the only
policemen near the stock yards were
those outside the packing district, and
that they were the patrolmen who
have been regularly assigned for
years. The only policemen inside the
yards were the special guards hired by
the packers.
Ihe men will all report for work &"
j. w. tombstone, secretary of the Stock
Yards Labor council, said. "We have
gained the concession to obtain which
the men walked out and there will be
no more trouble, we hope. There is
no race feeling whatever among the
workers, so far as l know, and there
will be no racial outbreak % any ma
ture in the yards if we can prevent it,"
The Stock Yards, New City and
Deering stations all reported mo trou-
BILE" in their districts.
Union headquarters at Forty-eighth
and Paulina streets was virtually de-
serted during the day.

AT LENOx, MASS.
Steel Leader Succumbs From
Pneumonia at Summer Home,
Shadow Brook"
HAD BEEN ILL MANY MONTHS
Introduced Bessemer Process of Max
ing Steel and ReVolutionized the
industry - Last Ambition
Was to Die Poor.

Lenox, Mass. Aug. 11.-Andrew Car
negie died at his summer home,
shadow Brook" here at : clock this
morning. The cause of death was
bronchial pneumonia.
Mr.. Carnegie, who was eights'-fOur
years old, had been under the constant
care Of physicians and nurses for sew
eral months.
Mr.. Carnegie was one of the worlds
richest men. His last ambition was to
die poor" He gave millions 70 Car
negie libraries and various charitable
funds.
Andrew Carnegie was born Novem-
Der %. 1885, at Dunfermline, Fifesiire,
Scotland. In 1S4S he was brought to
America by his parents, who settled
in Pittsburgh, Pa.
His first work was as a weaver's as
sistant in a cotton factory in Ale
gheny, Pa. In 1851 he took more re-
sponsible position as a messenger boy
for the Ohio Telegraph company in
Pittsburgh.
During this time he learned teleg-
raphy. Later he entered the employ of
the Pennsylvania railroad and became
an operator. Here he advanced rapidly
and soon was superintendent of the
Pittsburgh division of the road.
He joined Mr.. Woodruff, inventor of
the sleeping car, in organizing the
Woodruff Sleeping Car company. Here
he gained the nucleus for his fortune.
He began careful investments in oil
lands and increased his means.
Then the Civil war came. Mr.. Car
negie offerd his services and was
made superintendent of military rail-
ways, and government telegraph lines
in the East.
After the war he developed iron
works of various kinds and established
at Pittsburgh the Keystone Bridge
works and the Union Iron works. 1t
was then that he introduced into this
country the famous Bessemer process
for making steel This was in 1868.
The Bessemer process revolutionized
the steel industry and made him the
steel king of the world, laying the
foundation of his huge fortune.
A few years later he was the prin-
cipal owner of the Homestead and Ed
gar Thompson Steel works and other
large plants. He was head of Car
negie, Phipp & Co. and Carnegie Bros.
& Co. These interests were CONSOLE

HIGH PRICES
DECLARED TO
Be ARTIFICIAL
President Addresses Congress on
Subject of High Cost
of Living.
LAWS ARE NOT ADEQUATE
Chief Executive Declares "Vicious
Practices" Are Responsible for
PeriIous Situation Which Faces
the Nation-Makes Impor-
tant Recommendations.

Washington. - Addressing congress
and proposing remedies to check the
high cost Of living, President Wilson
declared that existing laws were made
quate and that high prices were not
justified by shortage of supplies, pres
ent or prospective, but were created in
many cases "artiticially and deliber-
ately" by vicious practices"
The president recommended that the
food control act be EXTENDED to
peace time operation and that congress
exclude from interstate as well 6S
lntrastate shipments goods which did
not comply with its provisions.
His address was as follows:
Gentlemen of the Congress:
have sought this opportunity to ad-
dress you because it Is clearly my duty
TO call your attention to the present cost
Of living and TO urge upon you with all
the persuasive force Of which am capable
She legislative measures which would be
most effective In controlling it and bring
ing II down,
The prices the people OF this country are
paying for everything that II is necessary
for them to use in order to live are not
justified by a shortage IN supply. either
present or prospective. and are in many
cases artihcialy and deliberately created
BY vicious practices which ought imme-
dlately TO be checked by law.
They constitute a burden upon US which
Is the more unbearable because we know
that 1t 10 wilfully imposed by those who
have the power and that it can by vigor-
Gus public action be greatly lightened and
made to square with the actual conditions
OF supply and demand.

age for interstate shipment should have
plainly marked upon each package the
seiiing or market price at which they
went into storage. BY this means the
purchaser would always be able to learn
wnat profits stood between him and the
producer or the wholesale dealer.
The world must pay for the appalling
destruction wrought by the great war,
and we are part Of the world. We must
pay our share. For five years now the in
dustry OF all Europe has been slack and
dlsordered. The normal crops have not
been produced: the normal quantity of
manufactured goods has not been turned
out
Not until there are the usual crops
and the usual production of manufactured
goods on the other side of the Atlantic
can Europe return to the former condi-
ions; and IL was upon the former condi-
ions. not the present, that our economic
relations with Europe we're built up.
we must face the fact that unless we
