STRIKERS IN FAR <
 WEST REJECT OFFER,
Freight Embargo Ordered Yesterday On All But Perishable Products Con- tinues in Effect.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-While improve ment in the strike of federated rail- road shOpmen was indicated today by reports from central west points, oth- CTS showed that at some divisional points the men were not inclined to heed the advice of President Wilson and their grand lodge officers to return to work pending a wage settlement The reports from middle west points, said upwards of 10000 shopmen had gone back in response to the warming of the president that their wage griey- ances would not be adjusted untif they returned to work, supplemented by the urging of the grand lodge off, cials.
 Demand Wage Increase.
 From east, south, southwest and far west came reports that the men had decided not to return to work until their wage demands were met Ad-a vices from Atlanta, Ca. were that the executive committee of the afTfi iaE,s ed craftsmen had adopted resolutions not to resume operations until their wages had been adjusted. Denver rel ported similar attitude on the part of more than $500 men in the railway shops there, and Little Rock, Ark messages stated that 1,800 workmen there had decided not to go back to their jobs until they were assured of more pay. Indiana polls shopmen also were holding back, while in the east many shopmen near Boston decided to remain out.
 Craftsmen Hold Out.
 At Kansas City 40OO of the crafts men were reported at work, while similar action was taken by 10000 others at Council Bluffs, Ia., and Mill W-,ukee.
 Limited embargoes on freight were continued on nearly all roads but the most pronounced freight regulations incidental to the strike were on the New England lines.

U. s. MUST COOPERATE
American Forces to Be Retained in France to Guard Prisoners Until Treaty is Ratified.

Paris, Aug. 8 (By Associated Press) The disposition of prisoners held by American forces in France was discussed today by the supreme coun- cil of the peace conference, and it was decided that it was impossible to release such prisoners until three powers have ratified the treaty with Germany. It will be necessary there fore for the United States to CO., operate with France in guarding the prisoners, and this will proba bly, make it necessary to retain some American forces in France
 During the meeting the council took up the assistance which Allied armies will be called upon to give in connection with the restoration of Frances battlefields with German labor. It was decided that the vari- ous armies shall detail specialists to assist in devising the best means of handling problems which will arise.

Lack of Cooperation.
50 Cops Have Cars,

New York, Aug. 9.-At least 50 New York policemen own their own automobiles it was learned today when in response from the police departm cnt that members of the forces who own cars lend them for emergency use in the case of strike disorders in Brooklyn. half a hundred motor cars were forthc coming. The owners can operate their own cars if desired and in addition to supplying them with oil and gasoline the depart ment will pay them $7.50 a day for hire of the machines.
 In letter addressed to Commis- sioner of oPliCe 1Inright, Mayor Fly Ian declared that from personal obser- Vation and from reports from inde- pendent sources, he was convinced that "there is far less disorder in con- nection with this strike than in any other strike which has taken place in the city and that the failure of the company to operate it's cars is not due to inadequate police protection"

LABOR LEADERS EXPLAIN
Claim That They Had No Desire "To Impress Upon the Public Violence By Threat.'

HOO WALK OUT
More Underwood Employees Leave Places and Make Demands-2 OOO of t,15O Workers Now Striking

Hartford, Aug. 9.-About HOO ad- ditional employees of the Underwood Typewriter Co. joined the strikers this morning and marched from the factory to Central Labor Union hall where demands were taken under consideration.

Just before noon 50 more men quit work.
 Approximately 2,0OO employees of the company are now out. Before the first of the strikers quit some weeks ago the company had about 415O on it's Hartford payroll.

BROOKLYN STRIKE
 GROWS MORE ACUTE Traffic on Surface, Subway and
 Elevated Lines ParalyZed TO HOLD CONFERENCES
Public Service Commissioner Nixon to Listen to GricvanccS-HarriS Merely Representing Union.

New York. Aug. 9-The usual Saturday throngs at Manhattan terminals of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Co. lines to Concy Island and Brighton Beach were absent early to- day. The strike of Brooklyn car men which for three days has paralyzed traffic on the surface, subway and elevated lines of the company bids fair to make the tie-up equally as complete today.
 Few Trains Running.
 few elevated and subway trains were operated during the night but the service was sporadic and the pa tronage extremely light No surface cars were operated and the number ordered out of the barns this morning was totally inadequate for traffic de- mands of the routes they traversed. AS on the three breeding days of the strike, the motor buses jitneys, mov- ing vans and other similar convey ances increased in number as the day advanced. AS the larger Brooklyn departm stores and many offices are closed on Saturday during August, thousands of store employees and shoppers helped to decrease the size of the early crowds by remaining at home or seeking recreation at places on traffic lines not affected by the strike.
 Arrange for Conference.
 In an effort to settle the strike Lewis Nixon, public service commits SlOner. arranged to meet a committee of strikers and listen to their griev- ances. In view of the declaration of -Lindley M. Garrison, receiver for the B. R. T. Co.,, that he would not treat with a committee which merely rep resented the union it was CommiS- sioner NiXon's plan to urge the strik- CTS to appoint a representative dele gatiOn to meet the receivers demand that negotiations for a settlem ent be carried on by strictly bonafide em- ployes, whether on strike or not.
 Lack of Cooperation.
 Following a conference with B. R. T. officials Second Deputy Police Com missioner Vim. Lahey, declared there was lack of cooperation between the company and police. MT. Lahey said he went over tho plans with the com pany officials as to how many poiice- men would be needed for the opera tions of their cars today and received the reply that they intended to run 54 trolley cars and Il trains on the elevated lines. The commissioner said he promised the company that he would furnish as many policemen as were needed.

Freight Embargo Declared.

Boston. Aug. 9.-The shopmen's s strike on the New England railroads caused further curtailment of passen- ger train service and additional de- lays in the movement Of freight to- day. Suburban traffic suspension on the New Haven and the Boston &z Maine lines continued, and the ex-| pected walkout of more lechanics on. the Boston x Albany led officials of that road to fear the regular seryiceI they have been able to maintain thus far would be impaired later in the| day
 The freight embargo declared byI the New Haven and prospects of sin- liar action by the Boston & MaineI caused New England manufacturersI considerable concern. Road officials said every effort would be made to| continue food and ice shipments.
 Summer resorts in Mass, Maine and New Hampshire were particula rly af- fected by the situation. Many of the special trains were cut off the sched- ule.
 New England boat lines did a ca pacity business last night and today but passenger agents said thousands of vacationists were unable to obtain
  Boats arriving at New England ports from New York were crowded
 Conservative estimates placed the number of men from New England shops on strike at about 12, 900. Union reports indicated double that number.
 Further curtailment of passenger service on the New Haven system was announced by officials today after a number of roundhouse employees quit work The Sunday train schedule, the management said, would be very ma terially reduced and if strike condi- tions did not improve before Monday many more trains would be discontin- ued.
 Upwards of 400 roundhouse ena- ployes also quit the Boston & Maine railroad today and officials of the Bos- ton X Albany said some of their fire cleaners and coal pocket men had joined the strike. The Boston & Maine announced that the Sunday schedule would be reduced about one- third. No reduction in service has been made by the Boston & Albany.

Pittsfeld, Mass, Aug. 9.-Every wheel was idle on the Berkshire street railway system today following walkout of 400 trolleymen during the night and a deadlock is promised, with receivership for the road the only apparent solution of the diff culty. The road is admittedly unable to meet demands for a 40 per cent. Increase in wages, with shorter hours, which the men want. State Arbitrator Charles G. Wood is in charge of the situation here.

 To Limit Wheat Shipments.
 New steps by the executive depart ments of the government to reduce the cost of living were expected today to be started at once along lines laid down by the president who promised immediate steps to limit and control wheat shipments and credits so as to facilitate the purchase of wheat with a view to lowering the price of flour, to sell surplus government stocks of food and clothing, and to force with drawal of foodstuffs from storage.
 Price List Given Out.
 Coincident with the presidents ap- pearance before congress the war de- partment announced the prices at which it's surplus food stocks would be sold. Price lists are to be sent to postmasters throughout the coun- try through which the consumers may place their orders beginning August IS. Under the departments price list, the consumer will be able to buy bacon for 25 cents a pound, baked beans for cents a pound, flour at $6 per 100 pounds and other com modities are correspondingly low prices.

CASH BASIS
Water Users Meeting Tuesday to Con-
lder Important Business.

A meeting of the Water Users AS
sociation of the Emmett Irrigation
District will be held Tuesday evening
in Liberty Theatre for the purpose of
considering matters of vital interest
and a full attendance is urged.
One of the questions to be consider
ed is the proposition to place the dis
trict on cash basis at the beginning
of the next fiscal year, October l. The
executive committee of the association
has arranged to place all warrants of
the district and with the proceeds pay
cash for labor and supplies. This, it
is believed, will result in large saving
of the funds of the district, as well as
in securing better service.
Bids are advertised for in this issue
for the construction and repair work
planned ON the system this fall and
winter.
