duced; Suggests New Eco
nomic Policy for State

ing that wases should be kept at their

If lower prices for foodstuffs and
maintenance supplies are not secured

but let those dollars we get have q
greater purchasing value" said Mr..

for the patrolmen answered agreeing

Union leaders predicted that in the
event Of a strike by the policemen to

Socialists Meet
To-day to Draft
Party Platform
Call for Social Revolution
and New Internationale
Excluding Majority in
Germany Chicago Issues

CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-Two hundred
delegates representing the American
Socialists will assemble here to-mor-
row in national conv 1tion to organize
for the coming car gn and draft a
national party platform.
This latter undertaking promises to
be especially difficult, as since the last
national convention of the party and
during the war the regular" organiza-
ton has been torn by schism and in
ternal dissension and inability to agree
on party principles, while the entire
mem bership in some states has been
suspended and charters revoked.
In addition. seven forei gn-language
federations OF the. party have broken
with the old organization. These feder-
atons are the Russian, Ukrainian, Lith~
uanian, Soath Slavic, Hungarian, Let
tish and Polish, which are said to repre-
sent a membership OF around So, 1000
Socialists.
None of these revolts, however, will
affect materially the membe rship of the
convention, it is claimed, as the dele
gates are elected on a basis of the
membership of local organizations, and
the detection Of one would merely add
TO the representation from another The
latest dscord is said to have grown
out of referendum election Of q ma
tional committee, in which balloting
the present party administration alleges
frauds, while the left wing and Com
munist' groups charge unfair counting
A pecial committee Of fifteen, of which
William j. Brandt, OF st. Louis, is
chairman, was appointed to investigate
charges OF fraud made by Adolph Ger
mer, national secretary, and viii report
to the convention that opens Tomorrow.
In connection with the drafting of "a
platform, the prospects are that one
of the main controversies viii rcvolvc
around the question Of whether planks
shall be included containing immediate
demands for the improvement of work
ing conditions or declaring for social
evolution" without specific and i'm
mediate Socialistc steps
Another question VIII be whether
American Socialists shall affiliate With
the international Socialist movement,
and, if so, what features the interna-
tlonal movement should embrace. 1t is
expected, according TO Secretary Ger
mer, that the executive committee will
recommend to the convention the call
ing of an international Socialist con-
ference for the purpose Of organizing
a third internationale" which would
exclude the Majority Socialists of Ger
many and all kindred organizations be-
cause of their failure, a claimed by the
American party, to stand by the prin-
clples of Socialistic internationalism m
during the war. 1t would admit to par
-tlclpation, according to Mr.. Germer,
the Independents and Spartacans of
Germany.

Scale WOn in Strike
Ratified BY B. X. T. Men
Chance Of another Walkout Is
Slight, as Leaders and Men
Agree to .4ybitrdte All Issues

Employees OF the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company held mass meeting
in Arcadia Hall last night and ratified
the new scale, granting them 70 per
cent wage increase.
Patrick J. Shea Of the Amalgamatod
Association Of Street and Electric Rail
way Employees, and organizer of the B.
crease, put the new schedule up to the
men with the assistance OF Louis Fri
dlger, attorney for the union
The carmen struck for Is cents an
hour, but the maximum rate an hour in
the new scale is G. cents The leaders
explained that the B. R. 7. employees
were we'll within the standard of wages
paid other New York carmen, and said
there were many points still to be
taken up with the company officials.
Frederick P. Royce, general manager
for Receiver Lindley NJ. Garrison of
the B. R. T., estimated that the new
additional S5,000,000. Whether the com
pany would have sufficient funds to
meet the increase is still question,
Mr. Royce commented.
Amalgamated leaders said strike
possibilities were more remote than
ever on the B. R. T. system because
of the disposition of the men to
arbitrate further disputes. Demands
for more wages would depend entire
ly on what the Interborough would
do in the future, it was said last night.
Both employees and union officials
agreed that the conditions are alike
on both sides of the river and that in
any event the B. R. T. men would ap-
peal to Garrison and Shea first if liv-
ing conditions should demand an
other advance
The rev rates will be as follows:
For motormen and conductors on sur
face lines, 50 to SO cents an hour the
former rate was Al and 40 cents. Sub
way and elevated guards who received
39 to Al censt an hour will be paid
50 cents an hour. Subway and ele-
waited conductors formerly getting 43
to As cents an hour will be paid 81 to
81 cents an hour.
There are about $50 different rates
among the shopmen, which will be
adjusted later, as will the question of
the basic eight-hour day The new
schedule embraces a tentative nine
hour day, against the former standard
of ten hours for days work.

Pledge Aid in Price War
A1naIgamated To Be Given
Bitter Contest in Its
Effort 10 Win Away Men

The $4,000 members of the Broth
hood of Interborough Rapid Transit
Company Employees have agreed to
waive for the present the additional
25 per cent wage increase to comply
with President Wilson's plea to help
reduce the cost of living.
Patrick ]. Connolly, acting president
of the BROTHERHOOD together with W.
B. Mangan, the brotherhood secretary,
and other general delegates, held a
conference yesterday in the Office of
Anthony ]. Romagna, attorney for the
organization, and virtually decided to
let wage matters take their natural
course from now on.
The strike settlement gave the o..1-
ployes fiat increase of 25 per cent
with another 25 per cent still to be
arbitratcd, in case the company Of
fcials would not grant it. After a
meeting with Frank Hedley, vice-presi-
dent and general manager of the Inter
borough, on Thursday. the brother
hood leaders decided they would not
push the demands.
Romagna explained that the en-
ployes will take up their grievances
within the departments. Adjustment
of wages and working conditions will
be made with the department heads
themselves, Romagna said. When
these fail to give satisfaction the en-
ployes will carry their demands to
their delegates, according to the con-
sttutional rights OF members. and the
demands will be brought before the
company officials
The variety Of minor adjustments
to be made among the rank and file
Of employees will carry the matter over
until October, 1T was said. No definite
appointment was made for presentation
of further wage demands to Mr.. He'd
ley and it is probable that future nego-
tations will be made through the
brotherhood attorney, Mr.. Romagna.
The employees will hold mass meet
ing at greensboro Hall next Tuesday,
wnen the leaders and delegates will
hear expressions from the workers.
Brotherhood leaders said yesterday the
organizers for the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Street and Electric Railway
Employees were still active among the
carmen, especially among the shop
workers. They said they would make
every attempt TO check the efforts Of
the "outside union" to enroll Inter-
borough employees.

Hair Often Ruined
By Careless Washing

Soap. should be used very care
fully. if you want to keep your hair
looking its best. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp, makes
the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo
(Which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than anything else you can
use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lath-
er, which rinses out easily, remov-
ing every particle of dust dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves the scalp soft, and the hair
fine and silky, bright. lustrous, fluff
fy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at any pharmacy, it's
very cheap, and a few ounces will
supply every member of the family
for months.

TRY MAGNES|A FOR
STOMACH TROUBLE
IT NeutrnIizes stomach Acidity, Pre-
vents Food Fermentation, Sour,
Classy Stomach and Acid
Indigestion.

Doubtless If you are sufferer from
indigestion, you have already tried
Depsin, bismuth, soda, charcoal, d. Jgs
and various digestive aids and you
know these things will not cure your
trouble-in some cases do not even
give relief.
But before giving up hope and de-
Gliding you are a chronic dyspeptic
lust try the effect of a little bisurat-
ed magnesia-not the ordinary COM
merciaI carbonate, citrate. oxide or
milk, but the pure bisurated mag
nesla which you can obtain from
practically any druggist in either
powdered or tablet form.
Take a teaspoonful of the powder
or two compressed tablets with a
little water after your next meal.
and see what a difference this makes.
1t will instantly neutralize the dan
gerous, harmful acid in the stomach
which now causes your food to fer
ment and sour, making gas, wind,
flatulence, heartburn and the bloat-
ed or heavy. lumpy feeling that seems
TO follow most everything you eat.
You will find that provided you
take a little bisurated magnesia Inn
mediately after a meal, you can eat
almost anything and enjoy 1t with
out any danger of pain or discom-
fort to follow and moreover, the con-
tinued use of the bisurated magnesia
cannot injure the stomach In any way
so long as there are any symptoms
of acid indigestion. G. a. Gorgas.
