PRICES INDICATED N
ENGLAND FOR WINTER

London, Sept. 5-The industrial sit.
uation in Great Britain appears less
grave than few months ago. when
there was n threat of complete up
heaval of labor. Since the settlement of
the Yorkshire strike there has been no
trouble of great magnitude, although
some strikes in various industries are
frequent and tramway workers are
threatening national walkout if a
wage advance is not granted.
Generally, however unrest through
out the country has been lessened since
ministerial revelations of the nation S
grave financial position which seem
to have had u moderating influence. In
fluential labor leaders have done their
utmost to impress workers with the i'm
perative need of speeding up the indus
trial output, and moreover the govern
ment has promised early legislation
providing for a As Shour week and min
imum wage for all industries.
Much will depend now on whether the
coming winter brings a serious advance
in the cost of living Such an upward
movement Is foreshadowed already in
increased prices of staple foods such a.

continue to rise, new demands on the

KANSAS CITY POLICEMEN
WOUNDED IN A RUNNING
FIGHT WITH AUTO THIEVES

Kansas City Mo, Sept. 5.-One po-
iceman was dangerously wounded, an
other injured and three of their al
legged assailants We're wounded in
downtown street skirmish here early
today
The officers, members of newly
created police squad to curb motor car
thieves, were searching for the own
ers of car said to have contained
rifles, ammunition, and a quantity of
nitroglycerin and had entered the dark
hallway of an old building ian the busi-
ness district when the alleged bandits
opened fire. a running fight of several
minutes duration followed.
A pretentious arsenal, also contain
ing checks and papers bearing the
name of a Kansas bank which recent
~ was robbed, was found in the house
atcr. according to the police, who be-
lieve that the headquarters of an or
ganized band OF robbers and motor car
thieves was revealed by the shooting.
Complaints from Kansas and Mis-
souri, sources, recently made to the
Kansas City police and officials, have
charged that repeated bank robberies
in the two states, bold robberies Of mo
tor cars that have not been confined
to this city alone, and several killings,
are the work of organized bands which
have followed the profession" Of rob
berry regularly and escaped detection
here. one such instance pointed out
was the death of the sheriff and a
deputy of Lafayette county, Missouri,
several months ago.
Bank robbers in high-powered auto
mobiles have continued their calling
| without interruption in Kansas. Yes
| terday the bank at Baleyville in north
east Kansas, was robbed of $1,000 Of
Liberty bonds and $1,000 in cash the

RESERVE BOARD SEES
REACTION FROM HIGH

WASHINGTON Sept. 5.-Reaction

Not only are some foodstuffs declin-

wage and price problems was reported
from all sections of the country.
"A movement toward lower prices
appears to be in process in certain di'
rections," the boards statement said.
Prices of certain foodstuffs also are
declining and a feeling Of conservatism

PRESIDENT PLEADS FOR
ARTICLE TEN AND FOR
THE SHANTUNG SECTION

ST. Louis, Sept. 5.-in a speech
touching upon many of the disput-
ed features of the peace treaty,
President Wilson declared here to-
day that il would be betrayal OF
those who fought the war TO ma
terially weaken Article Ten of the
league of nations covenant and
would be distinctive disseryice to
China il the treaty were rejected
because of the Shantung provision.
Should there be important
changes in Article Ten, Mr.. viii
son declared he would feel like
telling those who served in the army
that he had not been able TO keep
his promise to them that something
real would be done TO prevent fur
ther wars. He would do this, said
the president. "in modification and
shame" because he would feel that
the soldiers had been betrayed"
To refuse TO accept the Shantung
provision, he asserted, would be to
throw away the only leverage China
has on Japan for return of the pro-
vince.

STEEL WORKERS ISSUE
|. APPEAL TO Will SON TO
HELP AVERT BIG STRIKE

Washington, Sept 5.-President Viii
son has agreed to undertake to bring
about Il conference between representa-
uves of the steel workers and of the
United States Steel corporation in an
effort to avert a threatened strike.
The president was asked in a tele.
gram sent him today by Samuel Com.
pers, president of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor and the committee of
steel men, to say whether a conference
could he arranged before next Tues.
day, when the president Of the twenty
four international unions in the steel
industry will meet here to take such
action as they might deem necessary.
The telegram to the president fol
lows:
The executive committee represent
ing the various International unions
in the iron and steel industry met to.
day to consider the awful situation
which exists in many of the iron and
steel industry centers. The inhuman
brutality employed to prevent men and
unions from meeting in halls engaged
upon private property, in the open, the
thuggery of the corporations ennis
saries, the wholesale discharge Of mum
bers of men for no reason than the one
assigned that they have been members
Of the union have brought about a sit
uaton that it is exceedingly difficult
to withhold or restrain the Indignation
of the men.
The executive committee, replying
upon the case as presented to you last
week and your earnest decision to en-
deayor to bring about a conference for
the honorable and peaceful adjustment
of the matters in controversy have thus
far been enabled to prevail upon the
men not to engage in a general strike.
We cannot now affirm hSw much
longer we shall be able to exert that
influence, but we urge you, even in the
great work in which you are engaged,
to give prompt attention to this most
vital of issues; for if the men can no
longer be restrained it is impossible to
tell what the future may hold in Htore
for an Industrial crisis which may cnsue
and Illustrate the project which we have
worked at for peaceful and honorable
adjustment of industrial affairs in our
country.
"a meeting of all presidents Of the
"a international unions in the steel in
dustry has been called to take place on
Tuesday, Sept 9, in Washington, d
c., to take such action as they may
deem necessary. May we not have
your reply on or before that time as
to whether or not a conference witt
the steel corporation is possible"
st. Louis, Sept. 5.-President Wilson
probably viii decide later today whether
, a conference can be arranged befor,
next Tuesday, as requested by Samue
Gompers, according to an announce
ment at his hotel here this morning.
