as Result of
Police Strike

Liverpool, Aug. 2.-Looting and
rioting occurred throughout the night
as result of the strike Of police
men, and the lord mayor appealed
early today to the military authori-
ties for aid. The latter despatched
six lorry loads of troops from Crosby,
six miles from here, all fully armed
and helmeted, while special constables
were also called out. The looting
continued in the poorer districts this
morning and the lord mayor asked
for volunteers to hold guard the city.
The Liverpool authorities followed
the example of the London officials
in expelling striking police officers

eral bayonet charges and there were
half a dozen arrests in the attempt
to check looters.

Declare Public Ownership Only
Solution for High Cost of
Living.
PROPOSE ISSUANCE
OF 4 PER CENT BONDS
Owners of Securities Would Share
Equally in Earnings of Roads,
Under Terms of Sims
Bill.

Washington, Aug. 2.-"Labor's
railroad bill has the purpose of re-
Quoting the cost of living by operat-
ing the most important industry in
the country for service rather than for
profit" said statement isseud to-
night by heads of the railroad broth
erhoods, commenting on the bill in
troduced today by Representative
Sims, democrat, of Tennessee.
Labor faces persistently serious
situation due to the cost of living,
and the impossibility of wages keep
ing pace with the depreciation of
money. No fundamental changes are
being advanced to save workers from
continual defeat in the economic
struggle of life. The railroad en-
ployes are in no mood to brook the re-
turn of the lines to their former con-
troll, since all the plans suggested for
this settlement of problems leaves la
Dor essentially where it has been.
"We realize that in the strife for
wage increase we cannot win any per-
manent victory. 1t is not money but
value which counts. The vicious cir
Gle is infinite; increased wages are
over, capitalized for profits and the
cost of goods mounts faster than the
wage level.
"Any basic change must begin with
the rest. Not only have we suffered
from inadequate wages, but the pub
lie has paid an eXtortionate tax for
transportation"
Under the Sims bill contrc, of the
railroads would be vested in q Cirec-
torate of fifteen, five appointed by the
president, five by operating officials
and five by employees. Holders of
per cent bonds which the government
would issue for the purchase of the
lines and the employees would share
equally in the earnings of the roads.
