MEN WANT HIGHER WAGES

Chicago, ILL.,, July 29-Fifteen thou
sand street railway employees went on
a strike for higher wages at O'Clock
this morning, completely tying up the
surface and elevated systems of the
city. The company made no attempt
to run cars and workers had to depend
on the steam railways, automobiles
and other vehicles to reach their pla'
ces of business.
Early last night the heads OF the
union and the officials Of the street
railway company reached an agree
ment to fix the wages OF the men at
approximately 65 cents an hour and
grant an S-hour day with time and a
half for over time. 1t was thought
this action would avert a walkout, but
at a mass meeting shortly before mid
night, the men voted to strike at a
a. m. today. The employees demanded
IS cents an hour, an increase of "
per cent over present wages, an g.

N. e. A. Washington Bureau

N. e. A. Washington Bureau.
Washington, D. C.-Congress is be-
ing told plainly, clearly, and straight
from home, that the people want their
government to get busy Immediately
in a nationwide campaign to head off
a recurrence Of the dread influenza
epidemic. =
Letters and kilograms by the thous-
ands are coming to members of both
houses urging them to work for and
vote for the Harding-Fess bill which
appropriates $5,000,000 for influenza
investigation.
This measure is the first step in a
comprehensive and effective fight on
the flu. 1t proposes to do what can
not be done otherwise, for it places
the United States government in
command and back of the anti-flu
fight. And it proposes to keep the
government there until after the flu
germ has been tracked to it's lair, and
it's ravages upon human life is an
cient history.
UNDER DIRECTION OF
U. S. HEALTH SERVICE.
The Harding-Fess bill, if it he
comes law, would place the United
States Public Health Service in direct
charge of the anti-flu fight. This serv-
ice would cooperate with the medical
departments OF the navy and army,
and with other public and private re-
search laboratories that have facili-
ties for assisting in the work.
Nd irn nd
Congressman Simeon D. Fees, both Of
Ohio, introduced the bill, but the
father" of the measure is the Ameri-
can Medical association, which at it's
annual convention, urged the neces-
sity Of a governmental appropriation
and investigation of influenza in this
country. The medical associations
anti-flu stand has been warmly sup
ported by newspapers all over the
country. These two factors-and an
other-make it seem probable that
the bill will pass, and with little op-
position. The other factor is the ava
lanche of word from home which has
come to individual members of con.
gress urging the passage of the anti
flu bill.
OTHER LEGISLATION
CLOGS THE WHEELS.
There is, however, possibility Of
delay. Congress is deluged with
work, packer legislation, the treaty,
the league Of nations, the railroads,
other appropriations, and mess Of
all sorts of bills. This is why there is
need Of further, and stronger, prod
ding by the home folks. Every letter
or telegram from back home to con-
gresham or senator will aid in hav-
ing the anti-flu hill hurried through
both houses and signed by the presi-
dent.
Until this is done the anti-flu fight
is at standstill. Nothing much

RAIL BOARD TO
PROTEST. NEWEST
H. G. L. SCHEME
Commission Opposes Effort to
+v Boost Cost of Carrying
Perishables

The railway commission will enter a
strong protest on behalf Of North d.
kota shippers at conference to be
held in Chicago tomorrow against
proposed changes in perishable freight
tariffs which will greatly increase
costs to consumers, it is said.
The railway administration propos-
es a schedule of uniform rules, regu'
lations and charges for protection OF
perishables in transit from heat and
cold. The schedule suggested would
materially increase protection rates
on potatoes from North Dakota to
points south and east.
It is also proposed that an addi'
tional protection charge he made on
less than carload shipments of but
ter. The rate suggested would be
1S IL cents per hundred pounds on
butter from Bismarck to Minneapo.
lis in excess of the present tariff.
Heretofore the protection Of perish
ables has been included in the regu-
lar freight tariff without any extra
charge. At the conference In Chi
cago tomorrow the committee repre-
senting state railway commissions.
the shippers and the consumers will
seek to- prevent the adoption of new
rates for less than carload lot ship
ments of perishables.
The new rules also would provide
that the carriers are to assume no la
bility for damage to perishables In
transit unless it be shown that such
loss was caused by their neglect. Tho
committee hopes to secure an amend
ment to this rule which will allow the
burden of proof in such cases to re-
main with the carrier as it is at pres

ANOTHER FLYING
EXHIBIT COMING
HERE SEPTEMBER
Fourth Air Raid on Bismarck
Will Be for Recruiting
Purposes

A fourth aeroplane flying exhibi
tion will be in Bismarck, the latest
one arriving here from California

through North Dakota and stopping
at Bismarck.
Bomber Here Next Mont
The Hartz bomber, which left
Washington last week on an S,O9J
mile trip around the United States, is
expected in Bismarck about the mid
die of August. The Commercial sluS
acting under authority of the war de-
partment, purchased 600 gallons Of
gasoline and 60 gallons of oil for this

tanks upon arrival here.
Although nothing has been heard by
the Commercial club regarding the
other two flying exhibitions, one from
Hazelhurst field, Long Island and the
other from Ellington field, Houston,
Tex, they are expected to arrive in
Bismarck during August. There will
be four giant De Haviland planes in

,, Republic Armed Assis-
tance If Needed

Washington, u. c., July 29.-Presi

by which the United States pledges it
self to come Immediately to the aid
OF that republic in the event of an un
provoked attack by Germany, and
asks for it's early ratification "along
with the treaty with Germany"
Follows Sharp Criticism.
Submission Of the treat came after
sharp criticism by senate republicans
who for several. days had openly
charged on the senate floor that in
failing to present the draft Of the
treaty, along with the treaty Of Yer
sailles, the president had violated one
of the articles of the covenant. The
president transmitted it by special
messenger.
Resembles British Treaty.
The Franco-American treaty is al
most identical with one signed be-
tween Great Britain and France. One
difference between the text as made
public by French foreign office to
which attention has been called is
that the United States pledges itself
to go Immediately" to the assist
ance of France, while Great Britain
consents" to assist that country.
To Protect France.
The president told the senate the
assistance for France in case of un-
provoked aggression by Germany
without waiting for the advice of the
council Of the league of nations that
such action be taken, and explained
it was to be an arrangement mot in
dependent of the league of nations,
ibut under it."
Military Act Provided.
The covenants of the league OF ma
tions, the president said, provide for
military action for the protection of
its members only upon the advice of
the council Of the league, advice CIV
en-, it is to he presumed, only on de-
liberation and acted upon by each Of
the governments of the member
states, only If its own judgment justi-
fies such action.
Must have Council Approved.
Pointing out that the treaty shall
receive the approval of the council Of
the league" the President said it
would remain in force only until up
on the application of one Of the par.
ties to it, the council of the league
acting if necessary by majority vote,
shall agree that the provisions of
the covenants OF the league affords
her (France) sufficient protection"
Our Debt to France.
Mr.. Wilson says he was moved to
sign the treaty by the ties of friend
ship bound with the assistance France
gave America in its struggle for in
dependence.
He added: Nothing can pay such a
debt"
By unanimous consent the French

Man Hunting Popular

Man Hunting Popular
Whites and negroes, resenting
the cruelties of the others prac-
tised Sunday night during the
melee, deliberately armed them
selves last night and went out to
stalk their prey. AS soon as
darkness fell, fighting became
serious.
In some places negroes in au-
tomobiles dashed through the
streets firing at any whites en-
countered. In other places
whites attacked buildings occu-
pied by Ethopians, shooting thru
windows and doors, while the
inmates fired back from behind
barricades. Bands of both races
marched through the streets and
meeting fought battles that
ceased only when the pavement
was covered with dead and
wounded or the mounted police
had spurred their horses thru
the masses.
Many individual fights, hand
to hand struggles with knives
and razors, added to the casual
ties. Men and women were
dragged from the streetcars un-
til the company stopped running
them thru the effected area. AS
the night wore on, the bands of
terrorists broken up by the po-
lice turned into looters and in
cendiaries appeared. Several
houses were fired and burned.
A number of stores were broken
open and sacked.
Soldiers Fatally Hurt
Among those fatally hurt during
the night were three men of the Sew
enth regiment, who were beset by no
groes while on their way to the ar
mory. On was shot through the back,
another in the side, and another slash
ed with a razor. Major Fred Haynes
was found fatally injured. beaten pre-
sumably by negroes. An automobile
containing Adjutant General Dickson
was fired upon but without damage to
the occupants.
An exodus of negroes to the north
and west sides began when the fight
ing was at it's height. Some $4,000
more negroes already lived in these
parts of the city and the police took
every precaution to stop any resent
