HOPNEN GIVE 90 DAYS GRACE
 IN WAGEF F|GHT
Railroad Council Agrees to Give Wilson This Period In Which to Bring Down Prices;
 Present Tension Is Relieved

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Indus trial peace in the United States, ac cording to- the legislative council of the railroad shop crafts, depends on the results the government can show in the next 90 days in it's campaign to reduce the cost of living
 That time limit was tacitly set to. day by the legislative council in sug gesting to union locals throughout the country that President Wilson's compromise offer in response to their demand for high wages should be accepted pending the outcome of the effort to restore normal price level
 If the cost of living does not come down, the 500,000 members of the shop crafts would reserve the right to strike for more money; and with them probably would be associated the remainder of the 2,500,000 rail, road employees, all of whom have been considering the same problem.
 The letter of the executive council served to compose somewhat the uneasiness felt in official circles over the immediate labor situation and to force attention on the legal measures being directed by Attorney General Palmer and his assistant, Judge Ames, to take the imitation out of prices, to punish hoarders and profi- teers.
 "In our opinion" the letter said, "the next ninety days will bring the entire situation to head, and if a strike is to take place every class of railroad employees should be willing to join in the movement. share their full measure of responsibility and not leave the issue to be decided by the 9 per cent of the railroad employees represented by the federated trades" :"
 Apprehension was evident, how ever, both in the letter and the con- versation of the committee, that the men might not be willing to accpet the suggestion that the question of striking be left in the hands of the council.
 Attorney General Palmer had said that a few convictions for fragrant cases of profiteering and hoardine would end that trouble within sixty days. In order to obtain criminal convictions for such persons, whom the administration believes to be guilty of bringing the country into more serious danger even than the war with Germany, amendment to the food control law now pending in con gress is necessary. The legislation to impose $5,OOO fine or two years imprisonment or both for violations of the law has been reported. out in both house and senate, but neither has acted on it.

agreements between the striking em- ployes and the steam railroads upon Which they worked and also of the national agreement between the united States Railroad administra ton and the chief executives of the organizations to which the strikers belong. Such national agreement pro. vides for the adjustment of all causes of complaint in an orderly manner without suspension of work. The strike is also an illegal strike under the laws of the organizations to which the strikers belong. and has so been characterized by the chief executives of those organiza. tions.
 Says Men Disobey Unions.
 "The chief executives of these or ganizations stated that they believed they could induce their men to go back to work and urged that they be given time to enable them to do so. The railroad administration has given the time for this purpose The di- rectorgeneral also has by publication in the newspapers of San Francisco and Los Angeles, urged upon the strikers the absence of justification for their action and the importance of returning to work. Nevertheless. many of the strikers have not yet returned to work and to a large ex- tent the public service which the government must render to the pub lie is at a standstill It follows that the only course which the govern ment can adopt is to exercise it's en- tire power for the purpose of render ing the public service and the presi- dent has so instructed.
 "All striking employees who do not report for duty on and after seven o'clock on Saturday morning, August 30 when and as called for duty. will be regarded as having terminated their employment and their places will be filled

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Director General Hines tonight served notice on public officers, railroad officers and employees and citizens generally in California, Arizona and Nevada that the railroad administration would un- dertake to restore full railroad service between those states on and after 2 o'clock next Saturday, and that all striking employees who do not return to work by that time will find their places filled.
 This action, coming after the an- nouncement by the four brotherhood chiefs that the brothcrhoods would assist the railroad administration in operating the lines if the illegal strike was not terminated, is the most drastic ever taken by the government in a labor controversy.
 Federal Penalties Provided
 Anyone who interferes with or i'm pedes the use of reilroad property, MT. Hines said, would be dealt with for having committed an offense against the United States.
 MT. Hines, in addition. sent tele- Sl dLio tO tuc SONS UT OdllIOTnld, Nevada and Arizona and to the may ors of the principal cities in those states asking cooperation in maintain ing traffic and in preventing inter- ferance with the movement of trains.
 At the railroad administration, Director General Hines made public the following:

The prop erty of the company is not in the possession or control of the United States government. The strike of the employees on the steam railroads was entered upon without any griev, ance being presented or alleged. The strike was and is a violation of the

S15 HOG MAKES APPEARANCE IN
 CH|CAGO YARDS

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-The $15 hog, s1 50 nearer the slender purse of the sufferer from the high cost of living, made its appearance in the Chicago stock yards today. His advent was immediately followed oy a slump in provisions and grain as we'll as live cattle and sheep. Meat products. dealt in large lots on the board of trade, decreased sharply in price, but the smaller costs were not evident ih the retail market.
 Corn and oats felt the effect of the hog and provisions decline, but but ter, eggs and poultry in large or small amounts were unaffected by the stock yards drop.
 A continuance of the decline in live hog prices was looked for by traders who pointed out that 13,000 of the 25,0OO animals received at the stock yards today were unsold and that 15.000 more were expected to arrive before the opening tomorrow morning. Cattle of the higher grades were 25 cents less per hundred weight and sheep and lambs were fuily 50 cents cheaper. The drop in hog prices was the greatest since 1907 and traders who look for still lower figures point ted out that eastern storage houses are believed to be already crowded with meat products, leaving only a domestic outlet.

ARIZONA NUT
 IN ITINERARY
 OF PRESIDENT
Trip To The Pacific Coast Over Northern Route, No Arizona Cities Scheduled For Stops
 On-Return by Southern Route

WASHINGTON. Aug 2S.-Presi- dent Wilson will leave Washington next Wednesday for a tour of the country to give an account to the people of the negotiations of the treaty at Versailles.
 Secretary Humility made this an- pouncement today, finally putting at rest rumors current during the past few weeks that the proposed trip which would take the president to the Pacific coast, had been abandoned The trip will occupy 25 days, and speeches appealing for the immedi- ate ratification of the peace treaty without change will be made in the principal cities of the west.
 The opening address, Secretary Tu- multy said, would be at Columbus. Ohio. next Thursday, probably in the evening.
 Eleventh hour changes by Presi- dent Wilson prevented announcement today of the completed itinerary, as had been planned White House of, fcials worked far into last night completing the details of the tour, but today when it was sent to the president he made slight changes that necessitated reconstructing the entire route. Announcement will therefore be made tomorrow, Secre, tary Tumulty said tonight.
 Some of the stops enroute to the Pacific coast have become known and according to the best information available, the second speech will be made at Indianapolis, followed by speeches at St. Louis, Kansas City and Topeka, in the order named. From the latter city the presidential party will go to Omaha, thence to| Sioux Falls, s. D.; St. Paul or inne- apolis, and Bismarck, N. D.
 Then will follow speeches at Bill ings and Helena. Mont; Occur d'Alene, Idaho; Spokane. and possi- bly, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego. Speeches may be made from the train between the cities, but it is known the presi- dent is opposed to making open air speeches.
 Returning from the Pacific coast, the belief is that stops will be made at Reno, New; Salt Lake City, Den yer, and Oklahoma City, thence south and eastward. probably to Louisville, Ky. It is not believed the president with go very far into the southwest ern and southern states, however.

 SAYS JOHNSON

BALTIMORE, Aug. 2S.-Senator H. w. Johnson, Republican of California, in an address tonight in opposition to the league of nations declared that sentiment for the league covenant was passing as more information on the terms and provisions of the league was known. He assailed the secret treaties of England, France. Italy and Japan and the Shantung provision of the peace treaty and concluded by urging adherence to the American way" in foreign policy.
 ''TLe pitiless logic of events is grad uallv dispelling the halo with which its advocates have enveloped the so- called league of nations" Senator Johnson declared.

, He was a re-actionary Democrat shouted the county attorney, so much so, in fact, that he was often ac- cused of being a Republican" He was determined, however, to do his duty as county attorney, regardless of party, he said.
 Burges Wins Decision. Although the argument started calmly enough, it soon livened up on both sides and developed into an in teresting debate. As it had no parti- cular bearing upon the big hearing, however, the bout was a no-decisiOn affair, although "ringside fans" gave a paper" decision to MT. Burges for proving his claims which the county attorney had challenged.
 The second argument as to the right of the defense to question wit nesses as to the action of any men who have previously been given pre- liminarY. hearings in the deportation cases, was even more bitterly waged. Bitter would hardly express it, how ever, for although the verbal bar rages fell hot and fast on both sides, the contest was a good natured one, although both sides fired their best ammunition. For an hour the law was read and argued. Then a recess was taken.
 Scores Another Point.
 When court resumed again the county attorney withdrew his objec- tions, the court announced that coun- sel for the defendants will be allowed to ask the questions and the same privilege will be extended the coun, ty attorney, and Dominic Catero was called to the stand for the state. Dominic had taken the stand at the beginning Of the argument, pat was excused by the county attorney when the argument began to show signs of considerable proportion, and Dominic began to cross and re-cross his legs in bored manner.
 Dominic Knows "What Is It."
 The spirit of oratory was still in the air and Dominic apparently be- came burdened~ with it. AS he once more took the witness stand he turned to Justice Jacks, and asked the court for permission to make a little speech. With his knowledge of things, modestly admitted Dominic, he was confident that he would be able to impart some valuable infor- nation to the court concerning the Warren district situation on July IF, 1917. Now, John Greenway. l know what is it, Lem Shattuck, l know what is it, Bassett Watkins -" But this was as far as Dominic got before he was informed that he had been called as witness and not to deliver an address.
 Catero testified to having seen B. l.. Cook of Bisbee in Brewery Gulch on the day of the deportations, but said he saw him molest no one. B. A. Tovrea he saw in Johnson addition, when Tovrea had a rifle in an auto, the witness said. This was the only occasion on which he saw the defend

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Aug. 2S.-Wil- liam Curnow, an avowed l. w. w., Alfred P. Hendrix, who wasn't sure whether he was an I. w. w. or not, and Dominic Catero, who needs no further introduction, ladies and gen. tlemen, were the three witnesses for the state examined during this aft ernoon's session of the joint prelimi- nary hearing in the deportation cases.
 For two hours, following the open ing of the court, the session dragged while the county attorney and attor- neys for the defense indulged in legal arguments, which finally ended in victory for the defense. The first legal tangle during the afternoon was, to use slang, "a hangover" from the previous day. During the cross examination of one of the states witnesses on Wednesday, the witness was asked if he had ever heard of any person being deported from the United States or being refused citi- zenship papers on the grounds that he was an I. w W. The county at torney interposed that he had never heard of such a case, declared that he believed there never had been such cases and challenged Attorney W. IT. Burges, chief counsel for the defendants, to produce evidence oil any such incident if he, could. Mr. Burges promised to do so. I. w. W.Ism Ground for Deportation.
 Yesterday afternoon, when court was. opened. Attorney Burges arose, and. with the latest issue of the fed
 sw hf two cases where the findings of the | depsrtYrert qt iahor for the denqft21. tion of aliens for the reason that they were I. W. w agitators had been up held in the United States court. A third case in which a man of German birth had been denied citizenship papers on account of being member of theI | w. w. and having such anarchistlc views as to make 1t impossible, in the opinion of the federal court judge for him to respect any oath to obey the constitution of the United States, was read by Mir. Burges.
 The county attorney was not con yinced. He arose and wanted toI know what the federal court cases had to do with the preliminary hear ing. He was advised by the defense that the cases had been introduced only after he had challenged the question put the previous day.
 Prosecutor Probationary Democrat"
 Then the county attorney answered himself in no uncertain tones. In a voice that almost shook the plaster of the ceiling he declared. '1 have no sympathy with the I. w w. or its doctrines" In thunderous tones the county attorney then attempted to convince the attorneys and defend ants that the I. w W. had nothing to do with the issue and objected to the defense question. He declared that he also was not a Socialist, but stated that there was no connection between a Socialist and an l. w. WI
