by the war department that prices Of
surplus army food would be re-
adjusted from time to time to conform

market, it was announced last night

offer to the public two million surplus

Conditions Inproving.

Chicago, Ills, Aug. 12.-Conditions
due to the strike of railway shopmen
were reported improved today in
practically every district of the coun-
try excepting Chicago, Boston and At
lanta. According to reports received
by railway officials here all shopmen
on the Norfolk and Western railway
returned today and on the Louisville
and Nashville a large number of men
are back at their posts. Every shop
man on the Seaboard airline has re-
turned to work and 1000 men en-
ployed by the Baltimore and Ohio
road at Baltimore are back. Con-
ditions at Cleveland and Columbus are
reported nearly normal.
Five hundred shopmen on the Chi
cago and Northwestern and the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul road in
the northwest returned, which enabled
the former road to remove it's recent
EN- barge on perishable freight con-
signed to points in Iowa. 1t is esti
mated there are about $4,000 shopmen
out in Chicago and vicinity.

EXPECTED BACK
DURING THEDAY
Railroad Officials Believe
That Large Number of
Men Will Return.

( Chicago, Ills, Aug. 12.-While few
of the striking federated railway shop
men in Chicago district have returned
to work thus far, railroad officials
were optimistic today.
Striking shopmen in plants near
this city appear to be firm in their de-
termination to hold out against in
structions of the international officers,
but from other parts of the country
reports came that thousands of men
had already gone back to work or
would return today
From Denver the report was sent
that six thousand striking shopnfen
voted to return to work today.
At st. Louis it was announced that
all striking shopmen of the St. Louis
and San Francisco Railroad, number
ing about 1000, were at work and as
result the embargo on freight ship
ments was removed.
At Minneapolis letters to $4,000
striking shopmen in the northwest
urging their return to work at once
were sent out. The letters were signed
by nine men prominently Unidentified
with the strike, including chairman
of six of the unions affiliated with the
federated railway shopmen.
Assurances to the public that there
was no occasion for apprehension
again were uttered by r. H. Ashton
northwestern regional director and
Hale Holden director of the central
western region.
"All food, ice and milk and some
nonperishable freight are being
moved" Mr.. Ashton said Chicago
has been one of the rail centers hard
est hit by the walkout, and yet the
result here has not been as serious
as in many other places. What the
supervisors, superintendents and other
executives have accomplished has
been little short of miracle. Some
of them are even shoveling cinders tc
keep the traffic moving"
