CALL OFF BIG RAIL STRIKE
Threat of Big Traffic Tieup Is Re-
moved After Spirited Meeting at
chicago-Lay Trouble to !. w. w.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-The break in the
railroad shop crafts strike came on
Thursday when representatives of 27,-
900 car men decided by an overwhelm-
ing vote to return to work. The vote
to remain in utilization with the inter-
national organization of the union in
stead of with the Chicago district
council of federated shop crafts which
has had charge of the strike, came
after a spirited session during which
it was charged that the /. w. w. has
been responsible for the rebellion in
the ranks of the shop men. The reso-
luton providing that the men resume
work was presented by P. A. Halleen,
president of the central body of car
men, at mass meeting in Car Mems
hall. The meeting was addressed by
]. M. Patterson, international vice
president of the association, who laid
the disturbances in the Chicago dis
trict to the influence of "red" ele-
ment.

SUGAR PRICE II CENTS
ATTORNEY GENERAL PALMER
SETS FIGURE FOR RETAILER.
If Grocer Charges More He IS Profi-
teering, District Attorney Told
After Clothing, Etc.

Washington, Aug. 15. Through IL
cense regulations and the power Of
the food administration to procure the
cancellation Of licenses, the depart
ment of justice hopes to reach some
cases Of profteering in sugar that
would be more difficult to reach
through enforcement of the criminal
provisions of the food control act
This position of the department was
made plain in a circular sent to dis
trict attorneys calling attention to the
fact that food administration officials
had taken the position that sugar
should not retail for more than IL
cents a pound and that where it is
retailing for more it indicates that
either the wholesaler or retailer Is
making an unreasonable profit.
Mr.. Palmer conferred with Clarence
Wilson, food administrator for the
District of Columbia. about efforts to
reduce prices in Washington. He al
so had conference with r. G. Hen
derschoot, secretary of the New York
fair price committee.
Mr.. Palmer appeared before the SEN
ate agriculture committee and explain
ed amendments to the food control act
extending antiprofteering sections to
clothing and other necessities and pro-
viding penalties for violations Of the
law.
When the committee met, senators
expressed divided opinions as to the
necessity for the legislation.

VETOES
DAYLIGHT ACT
President Says the Law Is Aid
to Increase of Industrial
Production.
TELLS OF PRESSING NEED
Second Time Chief Executive Has We.
toed the Measure by Which Clocks
Are Set Forward in March,
Back in October.

Washington, Aug. 18.-President
Wilson vetoed the bill repeating the
daylight saving law. The president
said he did so with the utmost reluc-
lance" because he realized "the very
considerable and in some respects
very serious inconvenience to which
the daylight saving law subjects the
farmers of the country
This is the second time the president
has vetoed repeal of the law by which
the clocks are set forward an hour on
the last Sunday in March and turned
back an hour the last Sunday in Octo-
Der.
The presidents message vetoing
the bill is as follows:
Il return this bill, Fl. r. 1854, An
act for the repeal of the daylight saw
ing law without my signature, but do
so with the utmost reluctance. rea-
lie the very considerable and in
some respects very serious inconven-
fences to which the daylight saving
law subjects the farmers of the coun-
try, to whom we owe the greatest con-
sideration, and who have distinguished
themselves during these recent years
of war and want by patriotic endeav-
ors worthy of all praise.
"But / have been obliged to balance
one set of disadvantages against an
other and to venture judgment as to
which were the more serious for the
country. The immediate and pressing
need of the country is production, in
creased and increasing production, in
all lines of industry. The disorganiza-
ton and dislocation caused by the war
have told nowhere so heavily as at
the industrial centers-in manufacture
and in the many industries to which
the country and the whole world
must look to supply needs which cam
not be ignored or postponed.
1T is to these that the daylight saw
tiers to economy and to efficiency. And
the interest of the farmer is not in all
respects separated from these inter-
ests. He needs what the factories
produce along with the rest of the
world. He is prodted by the prosper
it., which their success brings about.
His own life and methods are more
easily adjusted, / venture to think,
than those of the manufacturer and
the merchant.
'These are considerations which
have led me to withhold my signature
from this repeal. hope that they are
considerations which will appeal to
the thoughtful judgment Of the house
and in the long run to the thoughtful
judgment Of the farmers of the coun-
try, who have always shown an admir-
able public spirit"

HOARDED FOOD
SEIZED BY U. S.
confiscation Penalty to Be Added
to Fines and Prison for
Guilty Ones.
TAKE GOODS FROM STORES
Government Cuts Prices as the Market
FalIs--Lowers Cost Of Army
Goods to Meet the Reduction
Made by Retailers.

Chicago Aug. 15.-In its drive to re-
duce the high cost of living, the fed
eral government began the seizure OF
huge amounts of foods in storage
houses.
The first seizures were reported
from Chattanooga, Tenn, and Jackson
vile, Fla, and the United States dis
trict attorneys Office announced that
similar action would be taken in the
Chicago district.
Governors of a. number of states
have asked the assistance of the de-
partment of justice to force into the
market amazing quantities" of food
being held in storage, apparently until
prices increased. Attorney General
Palmer announced in Washington that
district attorneys had been ordered to
cooperate with the governors.
Not only will Chicago food hoarders
be fined and imprisoned. but their
stocks will be seized and sold.
At Chattanooga government agents
went to the storage plant of the At
lantic Ice and Coal corporation and
took possession of $4,000 dozen eggs
that were being held for Norris & Co.
of Chicago
AT Jacksonville. according to an AS
ISOLATED Press telegram, more than
million eggs, hundreds of thousands
of tins of canned foods and 27.50O
pounds of sugar were seized in raids
on wholesale food warehouses and
cold-storage plants by federal Off
GERS.
Plans for the selling of all boards
of food that may be found are now
being perfected, according to Mr.. Mil
roy. ViolatOrs of the anti-hOarding
law will be liable not only to pay a
fine of $4,000, or Imprisonment for two
years, or both, but are also likely to
have the government confiscate the
food and sell it.
It is expected that this punishment
will be effective against profteers.
The Cuban sugar crop is the largest
this year in the history Of the island,
according to H. Ell. Rolopp, who is
the head of the sugar distributing
committee for the government. Most
of it has been marketed, he said.
Food caches viii be seized for uses
of the army and navy and later will
be directed to civilian uses. Release
Of. sugar for the canning season Is
promised. 7vs
Determination on the part of con-
sumers to take advantage of the gov
eminent cooperation in bringing about
a lower cost of living was indicated
in the restricted buying of distributors
in the produce market during the
day.
Sales of government foods continued
with reflected lower prices in compet-
ing commodities.
Washington, Aug. 15.-To meet re-
auctions recently made by retailers. a
new scale of prices for surplus food
stuffs was put into effect by the war
department.
Roast beef was reduced from S2.13
to $1.90 per six pound can; bacon from
30 to 81 cents per pound, and No. 8
cans Of beans from IL to 9 cents.
Prices on other items were reduced
in proportion.

sIx-cENT VERDICT AWARDED IN
CASE THAT COST MILLION.
Magnate Awarded Nominal Damages
Because Chicago Tribune Gale
Him an Anarchist.

Mount Clemens, Mich. Aug. 49,
Henry Ford won verdict in his libel
suit against the Chicago Tribune.
At 8:15 O'Clock at night the jury,
which for three months has been
hearing testimony and arguments in
the suit, returned a decision in favor
of the auto manufacturer, who sought
vindication in the courts of the charge
made by the Tribune that Ford is an
anarchist"
Trial of the suit, which, it is lesti-
mated, cost a million, was featured
by the testimony of Mr.. Ford, his son,
Edsel, owners and editors of the
Tribune and notable educators and
clergymen.
The jury awarded Mr.. Ford dam
ages of 6 cents, thus following the
precedent of the famous Roosevelt
damage suit jury of some years ago
in awarding a moral victory.
The jury had been celebrating since
8 :55 O'Clock in the morning.
Judge Tucker, instructing the jury
stated ''the right Of fair comment is
expected in the case of Mr.. Ford, be-
cause his position as great employ
er Of labor and entry as propa-
gandist into the discussion of the pre-
paredness question made him a pub
lie character.
The judge held that newspaper
has no greater privilege in making
comment than has an individual.
The jury was instructed further to
dismiss the case against the Solomon
News company, which on purely
technical charge that it distributed
in Michigan 20S copies of the Trib-
une issue of June %, 1916, containing
the alleged libelous editorial headed
Ford Is an Anarchist" was made a
co-defendant.
The judge instructed that plaintiffs
charges of prof. ermanism against the
Tribune and Of selfish interest in
advocating intervention in Mexico had
not been proved and the jury need not
consider it.
