San Francisco, Aug. 29-The

the extreme west and southwest
seems to be crumbling today. The
announcement of Walker d. Hines,
chairman for the Railroad admin
tration that unless the men returned
to work he would take steps to op-
crate the roads has brought this
about. Meetings at several points
have been held with the men and
the officers of the union following

With the situation two days after

STEEL WORKERS
Ask President to Settle Differ

Charged With
TRYING TO FORCE STRIKE

Washington, Aug. 29.-President
Wilson has been asked to take a
hand in settling the differences be-
tween the steel workers and their
employers in order to prevent a
strike. This request came from the
steel workers to the President who
alleges that the owners of the steel
plants are trying to force strike
before the President has chance
to consider the matter.
In telegram to the Union Steel
workers at Gary, Indiana, asking
them not to strike under any cir
cumstances until the date set for
it, it is understood the Gary COM
mittee alleges that the owners of
the mills have been discharging
their employees by the wholesale,
and in other ways discriminating
against them in order to force a
strike.

What Is Your Hobby?

Washington, Aug. 29.-What is

questions have in a number of in

necessary. He came to the Federal
Board for help. The adviser found
that he had always been very deft
with his fingers and liked to work
with his hands. He is now making
good in a course for watch making
and repairing. Many cases could be
cited in which the recreation of the

WILL REDUCE RATES

Washington, Aug. 28-After the
return of the railroads to private
opera ion, the rate question will be
one o. rsducu;on rather than increase,
Charles Elnquist, president Of the
Natiora! Association of Railway ard
Utility Commissioners, today told
the House Interstate Commerce
Committee, hearing on railroad re-
organiza ion.
MI. !:imquist said the question
would not be one of increasing the
rates, but Of reducing them so as to
permit the greatest flow of traffic.
He added that the carriers would be
returned to private management un-
der the highest level of rates ever
known and that they. would not be
in any danger of bankruptcy with
out aid from the government.
Views of the State Commissioners
on tn erailroad problem were pre-
sented to the committee by Mr..
Elmquist.
The committee also heard today
the protest of Great Lakes ship own
ers and their representatives against
proposed railroad reorganization
legislation directing the Interstate
Commerce Commission to take ju-
risdiction over port to port rates or
tramp boats.
Henry r. Platt, of Chicago, ap-
sit Corporation, declared that if
common carriers engaged nj port to
port traffic were brought under the
| Interstate Commerce Commission
as provided by the -Pomerene
f, bill that regular shipping lines
would not be able to compete with

HOGS DROP TEN PER CENT.

Chicago, Aug. 2S.-The SIS hog,
$3.50 nearer the slender purse of
tn high cost of living victim, made
it's appearance in the Chicago stock
yards today. His advent was immed-
lately followed by slump in pro-
visions and gain as well as live cat
tie and sheep. Meat products on
the Board of Trade decreased sharp
ly in price but the declines were
not evident in tn retail market.
Corn and oats felt the effect of
the hog and provisions decline but
ter eggs and poultry in large or
small amounts were unaffected by
the stock yards drop. A contin-
uance of the decline in liv hogs pric-
es was looked for by traders who
pointed out that 1900 of the 49,
900 animals received at the stock
yards today were unsold and that
$4,000 more were expectpd to arrive
before the opening tomorrow. Cat
tie of the highr grades were 25
cents less per hundredweight and
sheep and lambs were fully SO cents
chaper.
The drop in hog prices were the
greatest since 1907 and traders who
look for still lower figures pointd out
that Eastern storage houses are be-
lieved to be already crowded with
meat products, leaving only a dom
estic outlook.

WILL,
VISIT 80 CITIES
NINETY DAYS ARE
GIVEN GOVERNMENT
To Reduce the High Cost of
Living by the Shopmen's
Union or Another
STRIKE WILL FOLLOW

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Industrial
peace in the United States depends
on the result the government can
show in the next ninety days in its
campaign to reduce the high cost OF
living. That time Limit was tacltly
set today by the executiv council of
the railroad shop crafts in suggest
ing to union locals throughout the
country that President Wilson's COM
promise offer in response to their
demands for higher wages be accep-
ted pending the outcome OF the eff
fort to restore a normal price level,
If the cost of living does not
come down, the 100000 members of
the shop crafts would reserve the
right to strike for more money, and
with them probably would be as
sociated the rema nde~ OF the 1880
900 railroad employees, all of whom
have been considering the same
problem.
Gil served to compose somewhat the
uneasiness felt in official circles ov
er the immediate labor situation and
to focus attention on the legal
measures being directed by Attorney
General Palmer and his assistant
Judge Ames, to take the Initiation
out of prices by Furnishing hoard
ers and profiteers.
'In our opinion the letter said,
''the next ninety days will bring the
entire situation to a head, and if
strike is to take place every class
Of railroad employees would be will
ing to join in the movement, share
their full measure or responsibility
and not leace the issue to be decided
by the twenty-five per cent of the
the fedrated trades.
Apprehension was evident, how
ever, both in the letter and in the
conversation of the International of
fcers, that the men might not be
willing to accept the suggestion that
question of a strike be left in the
hands of the executive council, and
suspension Of work to be ordered
only after reasonable timen had
made it clear that such a step was
necessary to afford relief The let
ter said the proposal was certain to
draw criticism from individuals
'who have not as yet indicated a de-
sire to listen to reason,' and that
it was conceivable some men would
want to rush into a strike now. Of
ficials of the unions declined to haz-
ard a guess whther the advice would
prrvail, but hoped that the more
moderate element would dominate
the deliberations.
Acknowledgement Palmer has
said that a few convictions for flag
rant cases of profiteering and hoard
ing would end that trouble within 60
days. In ordr to obtain criminal
convictions for such persons, whom
the administration believes to be
guilty of bringing the country into
| more serious danger ven more than
the war with Germany,ssamendme
to the food control law now pending
IN Congress is necessary. The legis-
lation to impose $4,000 fine or two
| years Imprisonment or both, for vio-
| lation of the law has been reported
out in both House and Senate. but
neither has acted on it.
