LEADERS FEAR INABILITY
 TO HOLD MEN
Morrison Warns That Unless Living Costs Come Down
 Revolution May Ensue.

Morris of the American Federation of Labor, appearing before the house in- terstate commerce today in support of labor's program for increased wage of the railroad employees sounded warning that the burden of the lead CTS might be too heavy-that they might be unable during their period of unrest to control the workers, in which case,. he declared, there would be revolution to the extent of gen. eral strike. Around the whole theme of what the two witnesses said was woven the exercising cost of food, mounting higher and faster, they in- sisted, that the increase in the work ingmans wage with no assurance that it would stop unless drastic ac- tion was taken by congress.
 Both MT. Stone and MT. Morrison said that wage increases only offered temporary relief, and that prices of food and clothing must come down after which the wage demand pres sure would be lessened. They declar- ed the pending bill would prove to be the first step toward forcing down prices by reducing freight rates and expressed the belief that despite the burden of bond buying during the war, the American people would pro- duce the funds necessary to take the roads from private control.
 While the committee listened by the hour to opinions as to what the bill would do, there was no explanation of it's various provisions. Glenn B. Plumb, it's author, was present to give this but somuch time was taken up with examination of Stone and Nor rison that his statement had to go over until tomorrow.
 Says Food Destroyed.
 Discussing profiteering, MT. Stone said that from IS to 25 carloads of fruits and vegetables were dumped at Cleveland every day simply in order to keep up prices.
 Representative Winslow, republi. can, Massachusetts, engaged the wit. ness in a sharp colloquy which at times laughter from the large crowd MT. Stone thought congress should to know what MT. Stone thought con- gress should have done.
 Congress could have seen what was coming months ago." the witness re- plIeu. OoHSreSS was so busy playlnS politics it could not think of the com mon people. If there were no laws to deal with the problem, laws should have been passed"
 Would you be in favor of the ap-' pointment of board to fix wages, either through an expansion of the interstate commerce commission or seperate board?" asked Representa- tive Rayburn, democrat, Texas.
 MT. Morrison said this was for the employees to decide, but he expressed the opinion that such plan would not work out satisfactorily.

Roosevelt Warns
 Against Radical
 Tendencies in U. s.

Buffalo. N. Y., Aug. 6.-Secretary of War Baker, speaking at the peace convention of the Knights of Colum- bus here this afternoon, said that al- though the league of nations was not perfect, it was the best that men could do. He said the covenant is something stable and fixed some be- ginning place from which to start to build a new civilization.
 Franklin D. Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy, also addressed the convention. He said the present unrest in the world contained the element of those trying to get some- thing for nothing. Two vital things he said, must remain together if the American form of government is to endure. First, he explained; progress must continue, and second, this prog ress must be by and through the channels of law and order.

BITRO-PHOSPHATE
IS GOOD FOR THIN
NERVOUS PEOPLE
A PHYSICIANS ADVICE.

Frederick S. Kolle, NJ. D., editor of
New York Physicians, "Who's Who,"
says that weak, nervous people who
want increased weight, strength and
nerve-force, should take a 5-grain
tablet of Phosphate just before
or during each meal.
This particular phosphate is the
discovery of a famous French scien~
tist, and reports of remarkable re-
suits from its use have recently APP
peared in many medical Journals.
If you do not feel well: if you tire
easily; do not sleep we'll, or are too
thin; go to any good druggist and
get enough Bitro-Phosphate for two
weeks supply-it costs only fifty
cents a week.
Eat less; chew your food thor
oughly, and if at the end of few
weeks you do not feel stronger and
better than you have for months; if
your nerves are not .steadier; if you
do not sleep better and have more
vim, endurance and vitality, your
money will be returned, and the Bi-
ro-Phosphate will cost you nothing.
