FACING CRISIS
Need More Revenue to Con.
tinue Service, Agents.
Tell Commission.

Electric railways of the country
have reached a crisis: they cannot
continue operating unless relief. in
the shape of additional revenues, is
given them. according to state
ments of street railway representa-
tives laid before the Federal Elec-
trio Railway Commission here yes
terday.
Prevalent antagonism" was de-
nounced as the greatest wrecker of
service by John H. Pardee. presi-
dent OF the American Electric Rail-
way Association. He declared that
unless better understanding is ef-
fected between the companies and
the public, further deterioration or
service is certain.
The commission, which was ap-
pointed by the President at the sug-
gestion of the secretaries of Com
merce. Labor and Interior. expects
to make a detailed study of the
transportation problem of many
cities. according to Z. F. Sweet. vice
chairman and Assistant Secretary of
Commerce.
Pardee asserted the government
had taken everything and given
nothing to the electric railway"
Guy Z. Trip. chairman Of a COM
mittee OF 100. declared that the cleo
trio railways are facing three altern-
atives: municipal ownership, prioate
ownership and operation resting on a
sound basis of regulation and control,
or absolute disappearance of the
service.

VOCATIONAL BILL.
IN HOUSE TODAY

A victory for President Wilson is
expected today when the sundry
civil bill. carrying Sl2,OOO,0OO in
stead of 5000. 900 for the Federal
Board of Vocational Training, as
when vetoed Saturday. is presented
for a vote in the House. lndica-
tons last night were that the bill
would receive little opposition.
The Federal BOard of Vocational
Training was established to assist
soldiers disabled in the war to Ov-
ercome their handicaps and mt
them for new occupations.
Highly skilled experts are re-
CURED for the work and President
Wilson objected chiefly to the sun
dry civil appropriation because the
scale of salaries included were too
small TO attract specialists Of the
Caliber desired.
In the hands of the vocational ad-
visers and doctors will be placed the
future of more than 1900 disabled
soldiers. The Presidents veto of the
original bill was in keeping with his
stated policy to give every considera-
tion to the men who took part in the
war.
The vetoed bill was reported back to
the House yesterday by the Appro-
priations Committee with the voca-
tional training appropriation doubled.

The American men and women must

with uric acid which the kidneys strive
to filter out, they weaken from over

trouble, bladder weakness and a gen
eral decline in health.

Heavy and Flour Stocks larger Than
Year Ago.
NEW YORK, Nov 2l.-In a statement
issued by julius II. Barnes, director of
the United States Grain corporation, he an
nounces that in about three weeks the
corporation will put on the market a
good grade OF pure wheat -four made
from the finest wheat at about two cents
pound cheaper retail than is quoted at
of foods and prices 1t will put the solu-
ton of one phase of the high cost of llv-
ing directly up to the purchaser of -four,
said the wheat director in his statement.
The statement follows in part:
Following a conference OF the vice
presidents of the eastern zones OF the
United States Grain corporation with Mr..
Barnes, the corporation has announced
that it will offer to the retail trade, par,
ticularly in the large cities, under its
own brand, standard pure wheat straight
prices which will reflect the Grain corp
| Grafton buying price of the flour. This
will place in the hands of the consumer a
class of flour made from the best wheat
and used in large quantities before the
war by both bakers and the grocery
trade. The brand offered is the regular
straight flour 1t is in no way Identified
with the war grade flour, a distinction
which should be fully appreciated by tbs
consumer
"Rumors, possibly inspired by overzeal
Gus -four statesmen, have been current il
the market from time to time of an IN
| pending -four shortage and the possibillt,
that the use of substitutes would be re
sumed. Mr.. Barnes asserts that there i
no authority whatsoever in the presen
food regulations of the reinstatement o
the Use OF substitutes or of war -four.
Production of -four has been extremel,
heavy and for the season ending Nov.
has amounted to 50, 433, 900 barrels agains
1914, 900 barrels last year. Exports hav
been only about the same as last year
Consequently -four stocks are very heav,
and amounted to about so per cent NOR
than year ago on Nov. /.
"Many reports concerning scarcity =
-four and advancing prices for certai
grades have reached Mr.. Barnes. Th
facts are that stocks of -four are yer
large and production enormous. It is c,
pected the retail price viii tie about
! cents for l2H pound sack"
