the Railway Employees Department Of
the A. r. Of L.. urging such a true,
while attempts are being made e
lower the high cost Of living.
The second was the telegram OF Raj
Director Hines clearly showing that
the government is ready TO invoke the
law and take extreme measures tt
prevent strikes on the railroads. now
that the labor leaders have gotten be-
hind the administration In its program
Leaders Of the shopmen, other rsil-
road men. and workers OF other indus
tries are hopeful but by no means GER
tain, that the program viii be accept
ed.
As the executive council OF the A.
L. OF L. continued its deliberations on
the critical situation today. ts efforts
were entirely along lines Of modera-
tlon. The leaders are relying on the
common sense" appeal OF the letter
20 the shopmen 60 obtain its adoption.
They do not believe public sentiment
would support a strike.
Demands OF other railway workers are
stlll pending, or will soon be presented
and the answer OF the shopmen is eX-
pected TO have important bearing on all
OF these.
10 was reported today that partial
returns on the referendum which was
taken following President Wilson's ap-
peal show that so per cent received
favored going ahead with the strike
despite the appeal. The letter sent out
yesterday therefore, must be relied
upon TO turn the tide.
Leaders expect considerable radical
reaction from the letter, but believe
that the mass OF conservative workers
will assure favorable response. The
referendum will be by secret written
ballot, and complete returns are not
expected for more than a week.
The Hines telegram was sent 10 the
Pacific coast. not only with the ap-
prOval OF President Wilson. but with
the approval OF Warren s. Stone, OF the
Brotherhood OF Engineers. The strong
measures threatened by the govern
ment. therefore, have the union forces
back OF them and the brotherhoods
had previously threatened the coast
strikers with suspension unless they

while voiclng the viewpoint Of the
leaders>fn the hope and expectation
that the program OF moderation viii
carry, also voiced the viewpoint OF the
men today.

the war" he said, "snd want 10 con-
tinue 10 stand by him. think they
Will. But when you can't buy shoes
for your family. It's pretty hard 10
think only OF patriotism"
In the deadlock between the United
States Steel Corporation and the union
no effort will be over
looked TO reach a peaceful settlement.
Unless Judge Gary grants the union
committee a conference, however, the
outlook today was for a strike. The
letter forwarded to Gary Wednesday
night, which gives until August 30. TO
grant the union request, was written
following a long conference between
President GOmpers and leaders OF the
steel workers. 10 Is understood the
position outlined IN This letter repre-
'ents Gompers' position. one labor
authority declared today that Gary
'ould avert a strike by writing a let F.

Summer Gardens to Increase Pro-
 duCtiOn Are Advised

Washington, March 21.--Am erican- dens is 'the best antidote for Bo1- shevik doctrine" according to the Young Mems Christian Association, which is planning a 1919 campaign 1 of "Americanism and the speaking of English language via the victory garden" Details of the campaign have been completed here by the Ma tional War Garden Commission, CO., operating with the immigration de-
 partn1ent of the Young Mems Chris tian Association in Chicago. Plans also provide for the showing of the victory garden work in moving pie lures throughout the country
 ! To start off the cam raign ten thou sand garden and canning books have been sent to Chicago in addition to several thousand posters. The Young
 Mems Christian Association had 150
 acres of industrial gardens last year
 and they hope to better that record this yeaE--T These garde ms are 25x150 feet.
 This is one of tho most con-
 structive campaigns yet undertaEen,' ,'
 said Charles Lathrop Pack presid dent
 of the National War Garden Com
 mission today. Do not forget that
 the garden produces something be-
 sides food. It produces thrift so
 important to the nation at this time
 Then too. it means contented work

victory garden realizes the value of a home and he knows the value of making regular trips to the bank. Then too. the incentive to get out in the open and speak the English language is of trem endous value.
 The banks of the country know the home food producer for good customer and a good citizen. The time to begin making that citizen ship is when the citizen is new. The best antidote for Bolshevik doctrine is the production of food for the kitchen door,
 F. S. Ridsdale. secretary of the Ma tional War Garden Comm ission, has just returned from Europe where he spent three months studying the home food production plans. He points out that everything possible must be done in the United States to pro- duce food close to the point of con- sumption in order that other food stuffs that can be shipped long dis tances can be sent abroad. There are millions in Eurone close to the point of starvation according to re- ports from abroad.
 Siberia, too, is to learn all about victory gardening. Professor ". C. O'Kane of the State Agricultural col lcge at Durham. N. H., has prepared a garden circular for distribution this summer in Siberia by the Agri- cultural Educational Expedition un- der the auspices of the Young Mems Christian Association. Pictures from the National War Garden Comnis- sion victory garden book arc used in the book which has been translated into Russian.

A Norwegian engineer has devised a
process Of making a practical build
ing stone by mixing finely divided
mica with just sufficient amount OF
clay, or other substance Of similar
properties to form a coherent mass,
which is then shaped into blocks and
other objects Of any desired shape
and size. These are then fired at a
temperature just high enough to fuse
the mass, the resulting stone having
in general the same properties as nat
ural mica.
