The commission informed President
Wilson in a report dated June 2S, 1918,
that packers war profits were at a
rate two and quarter to three
times earnings in pre-war years.
RECOMMENDED A CHANGE.
The commission recommended that
the whole food administration scheme
of packer regulation be put on DIFF
ferent basis and the classifications of
the business into meat products, and
by-products on which higher prof
1t was permissible, be wiped out and
the entire packer output be placed on
a basis that would allow eight per cent
profit.
Excess profits, it urged, should be
turned over to the federal treasury.
The report is said to have been with

AVERT STRIKES
President Regards Steel Walk
out as of Utmost Seriousness
but Believes Treaty Labor
Provisions a Preventive.
BY HUGH BAILLIE.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.
Aboard the Presidents Train En-
Route to Cheyenne, Wyo., Sept. "a
Ratification of the peace treaty with
its labor provisions will enable men
to forget war and begin working to-
ward industrial democracy which viii
prevent labor clashes like the present
steel strike, President Wilson believes
today.
This can be given as his attitude, not
toward the steel strike in particular,
but toward labor difficulties in general
with regard to which he is preserving
an attitude of absolute silence. AL
though there was no hint from Off
cial circles, 1t may be stated that Will
son, having once already attempted to
avert that strike is disposed to wait
until both sides are ready to ask his
aid. Then it is probable he will pro-
pose an armistice until the industrial
conference meets in Washington, Oc
tober 6.
Wilson is firm in the belief that
the Cooling Off process provided In
the league of nations covenant for in
ternational difference can, with good
results, be applied also to industrial
disputes and that IL the representa-
tives of both sides will get together
and talk it over settlement will re-
suit.
Should labor ask his intercession ir

would be to intimate to the employ.
ers that he Is ready to act If they alse
request it. There is a feeling that the
president did not like the manner IL
which htD first offer was spurned
There is no doubt that Wilson re.
CARDS the steel strike as of the ut.
most seriousness. He has repeated,
warned that labor unrest is spreading
as result Of delay in bringing abou
final peace and, that this unrest Il
coming from Europe.

PARIS, Jan. 1I.-zionist leaders
from England. Poland. Syria and Rus
sia are here to press their claims be-
fore the peace conference for land
recognition. They want Palestine re-
stored and converted into a Jewish
republic.
Years ago Palestine had a popula-
ton of nearly 100000. Today the
population is less than 100000. Zion
lst leaders believe that within a gen.
GRAFTON they can increase the popula-
tIon to 100000
Climaticauy, botanically and agri-
Culturally, Palestine is like Califor-
mia. Oranges. grapes, almonds and
agricultural products can be grown
there in abundance. In a few years
leaders in the movement believe they
can do much to solve the problem of
feeding thousands of Jews now on the
point of starvation in several OF the
European countries.
Their plan is to set aside an area
about equal to that of the State Of
Maryland; to have their own govern
ment; to establish agricultural schools
and colleges. Justice Brandeis and
Felix Frankfurter are said to be
leading American hackers of the new
movement.

GRANT HEARING ON
ROCKV|LLEFARES

After six refusals OF the Maryland
public service commission to consider
the protests of the patrons of the
Rockville line against arbitrary fare
raises. the commission today gave
notice of a hearing in the Munscy
building, Baltimore, on January -.
The announcement comes as sur
prise to thousands of Washingt ton
workers who live between George
town and Rockville. and is the after
math of the editorial exposure in The
Times of the changes in rates AMI
Communication tickets effected on tn :
Rockville line. The Times called at
tention to the facts and the law in
the matter and also to the many de-
cisions of the public service commits
sion of Maryland which benefited the
railroad, and suggested that the IN
tire matter be laid before the gov
ernor of Maryland unless the public
service commission acted properly.
Threaten Action.
Taking the hint of The Times,
patrons of the road threatened to 10
to the governor of Maryland; and
then the Maryland commission
granted the hearing.
Il
by the railway company last October,
have been attacked by patrons on the
ground that their enforcement was d
violation OF an act of the Maryland
Legislature adopted in 1912. The act
is an amendment of an act passed in
1910, and has never been questioned
in court or amended or repealed by
the Legislature. 1t provides for cS-
tablishment Of fare zones. fixed rates
of fares, Communication rates, etc, the
Washington and Rockville line being
the only one in the State operating
under such an act of the Legislature.
Hearing Refused.
When the new rates were filed with
the Public Service Commission, pa
irons of the line asked at once for
hearing. This, however. was refused
the commission, through it's secretary.
Ben T. Fendall, standing on an opin-
ion by w. Cabell Bruce, its chief
counsel, that the act of 1912. as well
as the original act of 1910, was un-
constitutional.
Despairing of inducing the commits
sion to take action, patrons Of the
line had decided to lay the facts Of
the case before Governor Harrington
