were shut down with the exception of
the new firms which were permitted to

expected to receive aid in the dry time
To.day's rainfall made no sppreciabe

Started to Carry Out At

BREAD PRICES MAY
BE CUT VERY SOON
Recommendations for Spe-
cial Legislation Are in
Pres. Wilson's Hands

Washington, u. c., Aug. 6.--Agents of
the department of justice throughout the
country already at work to carry out
the order of the attorney general, issued
late yesterday, that profteers and hoard
ers of food and other necessities, be
tracked down and prosecuted under the
Lever food control act. Aecommenda-
tions for additional legislation necessary
to effect reduction in the cost of liv-
ing, formulated by the special sub-eom-
mittee Of the cabinet, were in President
Wilson's hands, and he was expected
to make these recommendations the sub
ject of an early message to Congress.
The country to-day faced the definite
promise of some cut in bread prices fol.
lowing the announcement yesterday by
Director julius Fl. Barnes of the grain
corporation that an immediate effort
would be made to place on sale in every
community where prices are found inn
properly high standard export -four at
$40 barrel. The ruling price during
the last four months, he said, has been
at least dollar above that figure.
The announcement was made at the
sale time, however, that the grain cor
poration had decided to maintain the
governments guarantee on wheat 1926 a

ply, Mr.. Barnes said, dictated this action
as reserve protection against a higher

In statement contending that the
price of wheat would rise if the gt;ar,

Barnes predicted shrinkage in North

AMERICAN PLAN ON
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
WAS NOT PRESSED
Secretary of State Lansing Told Senate
Foreign Relations Committee He Did
Not Know If Copy of 1t Was
in Existence

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 6.--Seeretary
Lansing told the Senate foreign relations
committee to-day that the American
plan for league of nations was mot
pressed" at Versailles and never was pre-
sented TO the full peace conference.
The secretary, appearing at a public
hearing of the committee, said he did
not know whether a copy of the Amer
lean draft still was in existence. He
presumed, he said, that the draft was
made by President Wilson and added
that copy might still be in the presi-
dents possession.
Discussing the Shantung provision Of
the treaty, Secretary Lansing said the
Lansing -lshii agreement made to obtain
reaffirmation by Japan OF the open door
policy in China, was entered into by the
American government without knowledge
of the secret treaty between Japan and
the allies for a, transfer of German con.
cessions in Shantung to Japan.
Mr.. Lansing said it was true that
President Wilson had cabled to the
peace commission, requesting that the
confidential minutes Of tne proceedings
of the commission on the league of ma
tions be not furnished to the French
Senate.
Mr.. Lansing did not recall how the
American plan.differed from that event
ually adopted. Asked by Senator Bran
degee, Republican, Connecticut, whether
it was true the American plan was draft.
ed by two New York lawyers for the
president, the witness replied.
81 think that it is not true"
"And was the plan not destroyed be-
cause it was so absurd" asked Mr.
Brandegee.
II never heard of that said Mr.. Ian
sing.
The secretary said he thought the plan
now embodied iii the league covenant
was decided improvement" on the
American plan, He could not 90 into de.
tails, however, because he was not a
member of the committee which drafted
the covenant. The American plan, he
thought, was "slong the same general
lines" as the one adopted,
He said he had presented a resolution
covering general principles of league
but no actino was taken on it.
ASKED how expenses of the league
were to be paid, the secretary said he
understood the league had no authority
to assess" any nation, but would ap-
portion the expenses, and their payment
so far as the United States was con.
cerned would be entirely dependent upon
the decision of Congress under the same
plan as that by which expenses Of II
other international organizations in
which the United States participates now
are paid,
Secretary Lansing said he personally
would be opposed to furnishing the Sen
ate copy of the transcript OF the dis
cussions before the league of nations sec
tion of the peace conference ION the gen.
eral principle" that il might prove "irri,
tating" to the other nations.

New York, Aug. 6.--Service on the
subways, elevated and trolley lines of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit system was
demoralized ct the rush hour early to-
day by tn ~ ike of part of the com
pany's l3, employees.

tan. uJngestion in the subway trains
which were operated on a limited scale,
was most marked Trains on the elevat-
ed roads ran desultorily and the surface
cars gave only partial service, owing to
the activity of pickets.
Non union operators began pulling
their cars into the barns at 7.30 a. m
saying they were afraid to run their cars
because of the threatening attitude Of
the strikers. Meanwhile additional po-
lice protection was asked for, and while
surface cars on few lines were running
about as normal, every ear was jammed.
A number of minor disturbances oc-
CURED in the early hours, due principally
to strikers and pickets boarding cars and
urging the crews to quit.
The greatest congestion was in South
Brooklyn, where thousands of persons
were forced to walk or hire automobiles
and other vehicles to reach the docks,
shipyards and the 39th street ferry, run
ming to Manhattan.
Coney Island practically was isolated
so far as 81" trains were concerned, few
of the trains reaching there. No tickets
were sold and guards were stationed to
keep the people out at the beachside re-
sort depot The Norton's Point cars
turned their passengers out before reach
ing their destination. Three thousand
persons were outside the depot at $50
o'clock and many hired automobiles,
taXicabs and carriages to take them TO
New York, paying from So to SIS for the
transportation.
Shortly before noon, according to a
statement by the company, the surface
cars on two lines were stoned by strik.
ers and several conductors injured. Car
windows were broken, 1t was said, troll
ley poles pulled off the wire and the
wires cut in suburban sections, where
there was scant police protection
Receiver Garrison issued statement
in which he said the company had enough
men to operate its surface cars if given
adequate police protection. Louis Fried
er, attorney for the union, declared it
had been reported to him that FIVE strik
ers had been stabbed in one of the com
panys yards. He said he intended TO
take up the question at police headquar
