WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-With adoption of the lgoe resolution di- rectine the federal trade commission to investigate increased shoe prices, the house today took first legislative action towards reduction of the high cost of living.

Tomorrow At torney general will appear before the committee
 The senate agriculture committee after some members had held that the legislation as proposed by the attorney general did not clearly de- fine what constitutes profiteering, hoardins, postponed final action to- day.

GOVERNORS PLAN
 AID IN FIGHT ON INT LATED COSTS $
Abandon Scheduled Pro- gram for First Day in Favor of More Important Work-Adopt Resolution Suggesting Governors Committee Be Named to Aid in Efforts


 SALT LAKE CITY. Utah. Aug 19.- A change of program arranged for the first business, session of the governors conference which opened here today precluded discussion of state budgets. and the subject of living costs received consideration.
 The governors determined to devise ways and means by which the states may corporate with the federal gov ernment in it's efforts to reduce the cost of living. A committee of seven was appointed to go to Washington to confer with the president.
 A resolution unanimously adopted follows:
 "The governors of the states of tha United States, in conference assembled at Salt Lake iCty, Utah, this 18th day of August, 1919. declare
 That we recognize in the high and in many instances the excessive cost of necessities throughout the nation the cause of much of the unrest now pre- vailing;
 That it is highly important that prompt and, effective action be taken by federal and state authorities to the end that the situation may be reme- died;
 That it is, therefore, the sense of this conference of governors that, in addition to exercising all powers and authority vested in the states, com mittee of seven governors be selected to forthwith go to Washington to con- fer with the president with view of aseertaining in what manner the states may best cooperate with the national government in remedying the situation and at once advise the governors of the several states of the results of their conference with the president, and if in their Judgment necessary. again convene this conference at a time and place to be determined by them"

 In Bandit Hunt

MARTA, Tex. Aug. 1e-An Ameri- can bpIane returned tonight from a scouting trip into Mexico with two bullet holes through a wing of the mashine. The aviator observer said he was fired on by three Mexicans. He returned the fire with machine uuri and believes he killed one. The cavalry is pursuing the band he said.
 An unconfirmed report received here from the aviators said rider lest, horse was seen after the avia- tors had returned the bandits fire with machine guns. Army officers saii this probably meant second bandit was hit. The third was said to have escaped on horseback.
 EIecause of the storm below the border, communication between va,.alry troops in Mexico and head quarters here was interrupted. No information of troop movements had betn received at il o'clock tonight, mountain time. Airplanes will at tempt tomorrow to e-estabIish communication.

 Wages Boosted

DETROIT, Aug. 19 - General chairman Of the United Brother hood of Maintenance of Way em- ployes and railway shop laborers today approved new wage and working agreement already sub mitted to the railroad administra- ton, calling for an increase in pay of approximately enc dollar day per man, time and half for over time and promotion by seniority.
 The demands, it was said, affect all railroads in the United States, Canada and Central America and involve about 6o0,o00 workers. Half of that number are members of the union.
 A referendum now being taken is returnable August 24. Union officials declare e9 per cent of the men favor the proposed schedule and a general strike of all main tenance of way employees if their demands are not met.
 The increase demanded would mean an annual additional ex- PSUsS 10 tuS Foti NduS OI USaily $1e0.000,o0e. Twenty-Five per cent of the men engaged in mainten- ance Of way work, according to union officials, receive less than S2.5o day. The s1 a day increase demanded does not apply in full to the higher priced empolyes, the chief purpose being to make the low rated man the principal bene- ficiary.
 The men will also demand a standardization of the rate of pay, 1t was announced.

 MINERS TAKEN FROM
 OAKVIEW COAL MINE

TRINIDAD, Colo, Aug. 1s.-The last of the bodies of the eighteen men who were killed in the explosion at the Oak view mines of the Oakdale Coal com pany, yesterday, were removed from the ruins by rescue crews late today.
 A miners club, within stones throw of the scene of the disaster, has been converted into 8 morgue, in charge of Dr. w. H. Thornton, coroner of Huerfano county.
 Several members of the rescue crew who had been at work all night were overcome this afternoon as the result. of the nauseating fumes lingering in the mine.
 The mine is not as badly wrecked as was first supposed. The bodies of the men who perished in the disaster are not badly burned or disfigured, indi- eating that death was largely due to breathing deadly fumes following the blast

 May Obliterate Trails

MARTA. Texas, Aug. 19-Rain- soaked and saddle weary, the Ameri- can troops of the Eighth cavalry were tonight pursuing the Mexican bandits who held Avlators Peterson and Davls for ransom over the Mexican noun tains south of the border.
 Lieutenant Peterson and Lieutenant Davis, the ransomed fliers, are riding with the columns to help locate the place where the bandits made them prisoners and to identify the bandits if captured.
 Storm Flinders Pursuit
 Reports received by field telephone from Mexico late today said a storm was raging in the mountains below the border. It was feared the tor rential rains would obliterate trails left by the bandits being pursued by Americans. The storm was accom- panied by high wind, causing difficulty to the expeditionary force following the trails.
 The ransom actually paid the Mex ican bandits for the release of Aviators Davis and Peterson amounted to $S.500, according to Fl. N Fennell, Maria banker. who arrived here this after noon
 It was Fennell who took the s15,0o0 ransom to Candelaria yesterday A count of the money brought back by Captain Matlack after the releace of the aviators showed s6,500 of the original amount remained, according to Fennell
 Returns Portion of Ransom Money
 Fennell brought the $6,500 back to Maria this afternoon and deposited it in a bank here. The money was in $50 bills Fennell said the army would reimburse the cattlemen who sub scribed the ransom
 Fennell today told the first con- nected story of events preceding the | crossing of the American ayiators to the United States today He outlined preliminary negotiation Monday be- tween Captain Matlaek and the Mexi- can brother Jaw of Renteria, who acted as a go-between.

Barren hills, rocky canyons and noun tains are superimposed on mesa be- yond the border over which winding trails are traced in white. Along these trails the cavalry men were making their way tonight The columns often were forced to break into detachments and wind slowly ur the sides of mountains, down box canyons, always alert for bandit in ambush The soldiers and officers wore rain- soaked uniforms, caked with dampened dust. Their horses were tired from the long forced march Troops on Field Rations The troops are on field rations from mule pack trains, as no field kitchens were taken.
 The communication line is being maintained 10 the border, along which supply trains and couriers pass from the base on the American side to the columns in the'field.

The line to Presidio was out of order tonight and nothing is known of move ment of Carranza troops from Ojinaga, oppOsite that point. Orders were is sued at headquarters to all command CTS in the expedition to use every care to rrotect peaceable Mexicans.
 The balance of the s15,000 ransom whish Captain Leonard F. Matlack brought back to Candelaria, after hav- ing tricked the bandits into releasing Lielltenant Davis without paying the full ransom, was deposited in the bank late today. It amounted to s6,500
 It was said here tonight that it vir- tually was impossible to carry out Ma jor General Joseph T. Dickman's order, insttucting officers to pay the bandits the full ransom, unless the bandits are oveltaken and captured by American troops.
 More Airplanes Arrive
 Four additional airplanes arrived to- night from Fort Bliss flying field at Fl ,Paso, increasing the airplanes for scout work in Mexico. Colonel Royce from the southern department head quarters arrived late today from San Antonio to inspect the tero unit here.
