PRESIDENTS TRUCE
OFFER IS REJECTED
Plea Made by Wilson to Shopmen
Is Turned Down.
RAIL STRIKE VOTE ORDERED
Pending Issuance of an Official Strike
Vote 1t Was Urgently Requested
by International Officers That
Men Stay on Jobs.

Washington, Aug. 27-The commit
tee of 100, representing the railroad
shopmen. informed Director General
Hines that they could not accept as a
basis of settlement of their demands
the rates submitted to them by Pres
ident Wilson.
Results of the negotiations here
were communicated to the union To-
Gals throughout the country with in
structions that a strike vote should be
taken Immediately to determine wheth-
er the presidents proposals should be
accepted.
Pending the counting of an official
strike vote, 1t was urgently requested
by international officers that all men
should remain on their jobs.
Director General Hines, according
to letter sent to the locals, told the
committee that the proposition, as pre-
sented by the president, was final, and
that there would be no wage increases
granted to any other class of railroad
employees, as class, but in the event
of unjust equalities, as between indi-
viduals, adjustments involving increas
es to equalize rates of pay would be
made where justified.
Statement by Committee.
The committee thereupon informed
the locals that the director general had
been advised that his proposition could
not be accepted as a basis of settle
ment by them and continued:
practically every class of railroad
employees have now submitted re-
quests for very substantial increases
over existing rates of pay. 1t is well
that our members give very serious
consideration TO this fact. If there is
to be any additional general increase
in the wages of railroad employees,
the federated shop trades will receive
the same consideration. Don't fail to
give this statement careful thought
and don't forget that if the federated
shop trades become involved in strike
now, you are striking alone to force
an increase for the 100000 railroad
employees.
''In view of the foregoing facts, the
SlditiIthtS III tllN BltHihTuA
letter and the responsibility that must
be assumed, if suspension of work
is to take place. your executive coun-
Gil has decided that it would fail in its
duty were it to authorize strike I'M
til the membership have had an oppor-
tunity to decide their course of action
on this proposition.
Promise to Enforce Decision.
ut is not our intention to shirk any
of our responsibilities as executive
officers and the wishes of a constitu-
tional majority of the membership, ex-
pressed by their vote as hereinafter
directed, will be carried out"
The letter then gives instructions
for an immediate summoning Of the
members of the various locals to take
q secret vote. 1t was pointed out that
owing to the large numbers involved,
It must be understood that the respect
i've international organizations would
not be obliged to pay regular strike
benefits beyond the limits of the funds
available for that purpose.

BIC STORE IMPORTED
 OF CANADIAN WHEAT

NEW YORK. May S-Julius Barnes, United States wheat director, an- nounced tonight on his return from Chicago that he had completed nego- tiations to bring 100000 bushels of Canadian wheat into the United States for distribution to the mills.
 These negotiations have been in progress for several days with the Canadian authorities, it was said.
 Director Barnes announced further that this quantity of imported wheat will be sufficient for those mills which hae not provided their stocks up to the new crop.
 Reports reaching the grain corpora tion today indicated that the nervous ness and excitement heretofore ruling in the flour market in the United States are being gradually allayed and that flour prices have shown a distinct decline in the last week
 Mir. Barnes tonight reiterated that the grain corporation will sell from it's current stocks and it's current movement through the ports, particu- larly Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore it's standard grades of flour at $11.50 per barrel in carload lots to bona fide users, and that the grain corporation offices at all these ports have been instructed to continue to sell on this basis until the domes- tic situation is entirely relieved.

NOTED ATTORNEY
 OUT WITH FACTS
HON. R. w. DAMON FEELS IT DUTY TO TELL PUBLIC HIS
 EXPERIENCE

Business men, professional men, farmers, artisans, in fact people in all walks of life, including innumerable women, are now taking Tanlac, and are testifying daily to the prepara- tions remarkable merits This incon- tFovertible evidence is further strengthened by the statement of R. w. Damon, a well-known attorney at law, who resides at PIP Yakima street, South, Tacoma, Wash. MT. Da- mon practiced his profession in the state of Ohio for 35 years, and has many staunch friends throughout the west. In relating his experience with Tanlac recently, MT. Damon said:
 'I feel it my duty to do whatever 1 can to help suffering humanity, and ] am more than glad for the sake of others, to give this statement about my wonderful improvement since be- gan the use of Tanlac l have sui fered a great deal during the past two years from indigestion and stomach trouble in a very severe form. My food would not digest properly, but would lay in my stomach and ferment, causing gas, bloating and much pain about my heart. At times I was so affected by this gas that I could hard ly breathe, and had intense pains all through my chest Twice, I was in such bad way that fell to the floor in an unconscious condition, and the second attack put me in such bad shape that I had to be carried to the hospital, where I lay for 30 days. I would go for two or three nights in succession with only two or three hour sleep, and the following day I would feel entirely worn out. I seem- ed to receive no benefit from my food. was inclined to be constipated and felt unfit fo ranything I, of course, doctored, and took medicines of diff ferent kinds, but got very little, if any results.
 While reading the Tacoma paper one day I came across a Tanlac testi- monia, given by a Denver lady, and her case was exactly like mine. So since that time have been taking Tanlac, and the results have far ex- ceeded my expectations. I have only been taking it for about ten days and have already been almost entirely re- lieved fthe gas and bloating. My appetite is so enormous, and every thing tastes so good that I have to guard myself to keep from eatins more than I should. have gained II pounds in weight already, and am still picking up. I sleep soundly every night and get up in the mornings rested and refreshed So it is, Tanlac has proven to be just the right thing in my case and I gladly give others the benefit of my experience with it."

WINTER WHEAT LOOKS FINE

Hardin-The Montana Farming
corporation of Hardin, of which
Thomas D. Campbell is president, re-
