Early this afternoon embarkatlon Of

they expected the ship would dock by
2 O'Clock this afternoon. AT noon they
said they had not received any word
from the Artemis and did not know
when she would dock. The delay they
suspect, is possibly caused by a storm
at sea but expect her to arrive late
this afternoon but she may not dock
until tomorrow. There was a rain
storm here last night but this morning
Il was clear and fine weather. Naval

WILSON MAY OUTLINE
PLAN TO REDUCE III. G. l..

Heads OF three Of the great railway
brotherhoods condemned the plan OF
putting up 10 Congress their demands
for increased wages or reduction in
the cost OF living. All declared that the
delay entailed by this plan might mean
a strike.
Attorney-General Palmer and com
mittee OF high government officials
were drawing up a program which will
probably form the basis for recon-
mendatlons which the President has
promised within a fortnight.
Attention OF the senate has been
switched from the treaty and the
house, which planned a recess today
will stay in session while leaders are
working out plans for adjustment OF
wages in relation Of living costs.
Miss Jessie r. Haver, legislative
agent Of the National Consumers
League, demanded that the packers re-
lease food in storage and George p.
Hampton, director Of the Farmers Ma
tional Council advocated passage Of the
Kenyon bill to regulate the packers.
Leaders OF both Houses today were
concerned with devising some plan
whereby the insistent demand from the
whole country for an adjustment Of
wages into proper relation to the cost
Of living may be worked out, they said.
House and Senate leaders will confer
in an effort 20 lay the foundation for
action which will meet not alone the
railroad mems problem, but the broad
er one which affects all workers.
Unless this is done, the country Is

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 United PRESS
With nationwide protests against the
high cost Of living, pouring into the
Capitol and White House, interest TO-
day centered in the Presidents state
ment that he expected recommends
tions 60 be made within a fortnight"
It was generally assumed that these
recommendations would originate with
a committee consisting Of Federal
Trade Commissioner COlver Director
General Hines and Assistant Secretary
Of Treasury Lefilngwel, who have been
appointed to whip into shape recon-
nendations made by cabinet officers
and other high officials. They expect
To complete their task Monday and on
Tuesday cabinet members and others
who met with AttOrney-General Pal
mer. will meet again 10 hear the report
and try TO sift out some plan TO bring
down prices.
A variety Of suggestions for Federal
action have been advanced, reduction
of money in circulation, contracting OF
credit, cheaper wheat, licensing OF
dealers and Limitation Of profits.
Acknowledgement Palmer says an ef-
fort will be made TO curb proflteering
with laws now on the statute books,
and that a request for new powers
from Congress may be made. Ohleials
point out that the United States is still
in a technical state Of war and that
laws passed to control wartime prices
and profits might still be employed.
Both the President and Director Cen
eral Hines have shown that they con-
slider the railroad and cost OF living
problem as one question.
