Attorney General Palmer, asked to-
day how soon results could be ex-
pected from the campaign to reduce
the cost of living. the outcome Of
which railroad employees have been
requested to await before pressing
demands for wage increases, said all
the government wanted was a fair
chance to show what could be done
to take the artificial imitation out of
the market. He said officials were
we'll pleased with the success so far
attained and that cumulative results
were expected when Congress enacts
amendments to the food control law.

"Thcm Good Old DAYS"

Hope is springing anew in the
hearts OF the old timers as there is
keen anticipation of one more fling
before the drought of national prohi-
bition sets in for good. There are
those who say they know and base
their claim on the persistent rumors
now being circulated that within a
short time the President of the Unit
ed States will declare rehabilitation
or the army to be complete and with
this declaration the country will re-
turn to its status as regards prohi-
bition. before July /. 1919.
Should this announcement be made
the sick rate in South Carolina is ex-
pected to register a decided advance
for in this State only the unwell will
be allowed to obtain one quart of the
sparkling and self-satisfying liquid a
month. as in the bygone days. This
would last until January 1, 1920,
when the national prohibition amend
ment will &c into effect.

cendiary utterances of would be lead
ers OF the race now being circulated
through negro newspapers and magaz-
ines" Representative Byrnes. Demo
crat. South Carolina, declared today
in the house. Behind this propaganda,
he said, were desires of some politi-
clans to increase the number of negro
voters and designs by some capital
lists to secure negroes as prospective
strike breakers and levers to keep
down wages.
Negroes in the south are alleged
to be ill-treated. Byrnes said, where
as the southern negro is actually
making rapid progress, accumulating
money. buying property and educat-
ing his children.
Mr.. Brynes read editorials from a
Washington negro publication in

producer, were attacked in the edi-
torfal.

said, "but those who have been in
oculated with the desire for political
equality or social equality must stay
away. There is no room for those of
the latter type"

PRESIDENT WILL MAKE
TOUR OF THE COUNTRY
10 Go Through Western States
In Short While, Swinging
Back Through South.

'"Shih6loh, aug Zo-1ne ltlner-
ary of President Wilson's "swing
around the circle" with addresses in
behalf of the peace treaty in at least
90 of the principal cities of the coun-
try is expected to be announced to-
morrow at the White House
After weeks of uncertainty con-
cerning the proposed trip, which will
extend to the Pacific coast, definite
announcement was made today that
the President would leave Washing
ton as soon as arrangements could
be made. 1t was intimated that the
start might be made within 10 days
or two weeks.
When this announcement was
made, it was understood by White
House officials. that the review of the
new Pacific fleet at San Francisco.
originally set for September 2 or g.
had been postponed until September
l5. and Secretary Tumulty said he
believe the President would be at
the golden gate by the latter date to
take part in the ceremony.
Late in the day, however. Acting
Secretary OF the Navy Roosevelt an
nounced that the review would be
held on September /. This was dec;d-
ed on, he said, when the President
several days ago had requested that
plans for the review go forward with
out reference to his trip to the Paci-
fic coast.
According to the plans now being
worked out in connection with timer
airy, President Wilson will spend 25
days laying before the people of the
country his reasons for the immediate
ratification of the peace treaty with
out change.
Although the President desired to
greet General Pershing on his arrival
at New York early next month. he
was said to consider the tour to en-
plain the peace treaty to the people
as OF more Importance. 1t was pos
sible, Secretary Tumulty said, the
President might overcome this OBJ
stacle to an early start by meeting
General Pershing en- route to the
west, probably in ST. Louis.
Some changes have been made in
the itinerary as originally made
when President Wilson was in Paris.
but it was said that his purpose not
to stop at Chicago had not been
changed, but he may speak in the
middle west at Columbus and Gin
cinnati and st. Louis
While the itinerary was not com
pleted tonight. ii was regarded as al
most certain Mr.. Wilson also would
speak in Sioux City, La; Minneapolis,
or st. Paul, Mimi; Bismark, n. d:
! Billings and Helena, Mont, then
swing down the Pacinc coast states.
and after reaching San Francisco,
| come home by the Southern route
making addresses on the return.

Reserve Right to Strike If Living
Costs Do Not Fail Within
That Time.
UP TO THE GOVERNMENT
Industrial Peace in United States
Depends Upon Result of The
Drive on Prices Which is Now
Under Way.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Industrial
peace in the United States depends
on the results the government can
show in the next 80 days in it's cam
paign to reduce the cost of living.
That time limit was tacitly set to-
day by the executive council of the
railroad shop crafts in suggesting to
local unions throughout the country
that President Wilson's compromise
offer nj response to their demand for
higher wages should be accepted
pending the outcome of the effort to
restore normal price level
If the cost of living does not come
down, the 100000 members of the
shop craft would reserve the right to
strike for more money, and with them
probably would be associated the re-
mainder of whom have been consider
ing the same problem.
The letter of the executive council
served to compose somewhat the un-
easiness felt in official circles over
the immediate labor situation and
to focus attention on legal measures
being directed by Attorney General
Palmer and his assistant, Judge Ames
to take the imitation out of prices by
Furnishing hoarders and profiteerss
I'm our opinion" the letter said
the next 80 days will bring the en-
tire situation to a head, and II q
strike is to take place every class of
railroad employees should be willing
to join In the movement, share their
full measures of responsibility and
not leave the issue to be decided by
the 22 per cent of the railroad en-
ployes represented by the federated
trades"
Apprehension was evident. how
ever, both in the letter and in the
conversation of the international ofri-
GERS. that the men might not be will

question OF a strike be left in the
hands Of the executive council and a
suspension of work to be ordered only
after a reasonable time" had made
1t clear that such a step was necessary
to AFFORD relief. The latter said the
proposal was certain to draw criti-
cisms from individuals "who have not
as yet indicated a desire TO listen 10
reason" and that it was rush into
strike now. Officers of the unions
declined to hazard guess whether
the advice would prevail, but hoped
that the moderate element would
dominate the deliberations.
Attorney General Palmer for aa

the administration believes to be

war with Germany amendment of the
food control law now pending in
Congress is necessary. The legisla-
ton to impose $1,000 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.

tion of proposed amendments to the
peace treaty, the senate foreign re-
lations committee plans an extended
session tomorrow to hasten work on
Its report to the senate.
After completion of its open meet
ing during the morning, the commit
tee will close its doors and take up
pending amendments. 1t is likely that
the first to be considered will pro-
pose elimination Of the international
labor section and reduction Of the
representation of British dominnions
in the league of nations assembly.
Today the committee heard sever
al negro delegations who proposed
amendments guaranteeing race equal

member Of the committee, criticised
the committees course in it's hearings

with settlement of the war as with
proposals to dismember the coun-

Senator King, Democrat. Utah, ask
ed when the committees expected to
hear from the Filipinos, the Ameri-

that probably the only reason why
they haven't been heard is because
they havn't asked"

could not vote for the treaty "unless

Among the features of the coven-

1ected were the withdrawal proyi-

plan for dealing with domestic aues-

In its present form the treaty aban-
