IBERIA, left here aboard the sailing
schooner Casco once the property of
Robert Louis Stevenson.
Fears were expressed by Nomo
residents before the boat left that
it would not be able to get through
into the Arctic ocean as reports
received here recently said the
Bering Straits were still blocked
with ice.
Members of the ships company
said they were bound for some
point in a vast uninhabited territoIy y
lying along the Arctic shore of ST.
IBERIA between East Cape and the
Lena river. They would not divulge
the exact location of their destina-

The party is known as the North

the two Americans to a blockhouse
which was under fire from Russian
artillery.
The blockhouse eventually be-

Americans to make their escape to

NO LONG STOPPAGE OF
PRODUCTION is INDICATED
IN COUNTRY'S STEEL MILL S

New York, Aug. 21.-Pending the
actual test of strength. labor union
claims concerning the strike vote at
large steel plants have been sweep
ing, but with continued suppression
OF the fact that the unions i'll various
mechanical lines are but a fraction
OF the whole body of employees, says
the Iron Age to-day. Strikes may
come, as they have come in the past
month, at various plants, and output
may be cut down, but a general and
long continued stoppage of produc-
ton is not now Indicated. In some
directions it is known that the re-
suits of the concentrated efforts of
organizers in the past two months
nave been disappointing.
The labor situation at Cleveland
and at the Lake Superior ore docks
Is much improved but is not yet
cleared up. The American Steel &
Wire Co.'S railroad employees at
Cleveland have returned. The COM
pany's biast furnace resumption is
only partial, but steel works are op-
eraung. AT some upper lake ports
ore shipments have started.
1t is significant, in view OF the
widespread steel works campaign for

Cleveland was withdrawn. If other
shutdowns come it is probable that
some works would be allowed to re-
main idle indefinitely.
Blast Furnaces Resume
There has been rapid resump-
tion of blast furnace and steel works
operations at Gary and South Chi
cago on the ending of the railroad

Leading manufacturers of cold fin

iron and steel prices, reduced to dol
lars, are low in comparison with
American prices; for example, hema-

Cleveland, O.. Aug. 21.-Myron T
Herrick. of this city. member of the
Executive Committee OF the National
Association of Owners of Railroad
Securities. declared in a statement
that the turning over OF the vast
system of railroad lines to the con-
troll of the Government, and through
the Government to the control of or
ganized labor. would be a long step
toward the establishment in this
country of an autocratic power that
would iuperil the liberties OF the
American people"
Mr.. Ferrick. who was formerly
Governor OF Ohio and American am
bassador TO France. is banker,
director OF the Erie Railroad and OF
the New York Life Insurance Com
pany.
Mr.. Herrick asserted in his state
ment that the experience of the last
two years with the railroads, as with
the telegraph and telephone lines is
ample proof that there is neither ef-
ficiency nor economy in Government
control. He said that such control
and operation would defeat the pur-
pose for which the railroad brother
hoods were established and that it
would involve huge addition to the
public debt as the value of the rail-
roads was estimated at $4,000, 100000.
Public Must Pay Bill
Referring to the agitation by rail-
road employees through the officers
of their organizations in favor of
Government ownership of the roads,
Mr.. Herrick said:
This propaganda will not be favor
ably received by the people of this
country who, as always. must pay
the bill. The deficit incurred in less
than two years OF federal operation
is already more than S50O,000.000 and
is amounting at the rate OF 100000
a day in spite OF sharp increases in
freight and passenger rates. Directly
or indirectly, in taxes, freight
charges and increase in the cost of
goods the burden of that deficit on
the people and contributes in tre-
mendous measure to the oppressively
high cost OF living. In the face OF
that showing who could conscienti-
ously wish TO perpetuate governmental
control of the railroads?
Il cannot believe the brotherhoods
have thoroughly considered the con-
sequences that would follow Govern
ment ownership or that they have
prepared to exercise this great power.
Their present propaganda is wholly
at variance with the character OF
their organizations" and with their
long and honorable history"
To add the cost of the railroads to
The Governments debt, Mr.. Herrick
said would weaken the Government
borrowing power. depreciate further
Government securities and increase
the rate at which the Government
can borrow. He pointed out that the
war added $4,000, 600. 900 to the pub
lie debt in two years and that the
annual interest charge alone is now

Mr.. Herrick. 1T would simply mui-

Mr.. Herrick said that he oeheved
the best plan yet presented for solv-

presented to Congress by the National
Association OF owners of Railroad Sc
curities This plan, he said. provides
for ffxed percentage return to the
roads and that where road makes
profit in excess OF 6 per cent. the
excess shall be divided between the
Government, the employees and the
railroad. In his opinion this plan
protected all interests - the public,
the shipper, employees and owners.
The time for experiments has
passed" said Mr.. Herrick. The Gov
ernment has followed fads and fan
cies far enough. Now let US forget
partisan and politics and devise a
practical plan for the business-lihe
management of our great vehicles of
commerce giving men of experience
and vision a chance to exercise their
abilities. Radical experimentation is
unthinkable."

Dispatches from Paris yester-

hibiting the closing of executive
departments in memory of any de-
ceased ex-official of the United
