Mention OF r. r. Strike

WASHINGTON, Aug. S-A joint
resolution declaring that state of

authorizing the President to free inter
state mails and traffic from further
unlawful interference and adequately

resentative Blanton, Democrat, Texas.
No mention was made of the railroad
strikes, but the resolution declared
that through organized effort the
proper transmission of interstate
mails, telegraph communicat ton and in
terstate traffic has been interfered
with, retarded and in many instances
forcibly prevented altogether, thereby
hampering, crippling and attempting
to destroy the industries OF the United
States
AS a result of open brigandaee,
hitherto tolerated. demands have been
made on the government of the United
States to pay out of the peoples treas

any wise interfere with sales to mu-
inequalities or municipal selling agen-
cles. No change has been made in the
offer made by the War Department to
municipalities except in prices quoted
Where municipality is authorized to
make purchases Of this nature and re-
sell, the War Department will sell to
the municipalities or other form Of
local government any of the surplus
commodities in case or carton lots and
grant the purchasing body credit of
ten days after receipt of goods. If a

slgnment subsistence stores in not less

ment's agent and supervises the dis
trlbution of the food or appoints some

To Continue Selling Plan
"The War Department will continue
to sell subsistence stores to civic
bodies, groups of citizens or individuals

ance with the terms of sale

stuffs offered for sale through the par

will be made by the Postoffice Depart
ment. The Postoffice Department will
requisition the subsistence from the
War Department in case of original
package lots. which will be shipped by

tions from the War Department.

Bushels This Season

WASHINGTON, Aug. s. - Blight.
scabrust and grasshoppers, the enemies
Of the growing wheat plant, bit 221,-
100000 bushels out of the American
crop last month. Wheat conditions on
July l were so promising that the De-
partment of Agriculture forecast a
yield of 1851, 100000 bushels, exceed
ing by 136,000,0O0 bushels the record
production obtained in 1915. But lack
of rainfall during July worked havoc
with the ripening plant, SO that the
prospect now is for a harvest of only
$40 100000 bushels. Last year 917,-
100000 bushels were garnered
The loss for the month is equal to
more than two bushels for each per-
son in the country, or approximately
one-third the average annual consump-
ton. The loss in money, measured by
the minimum price fixed by the gov
ernment, is trife less than $500 ,0O0,-
900.
The decline in the condition of win
ter wheat was severe, the loss of 124,-
100000 bushels in the prospect bring
ing the estimated yield down to 49,
100000 bushels. but spring wheat suf
fered relatively much more, the pros
petive harvest falling 97,000,00O bush
els to 225 100000 bushels.
The corn promise also was reduced
by 27,O52,000 bushels by adverse
weather conditions. The prospective
yield now is 2,7SS,0OO,OO0 bushels,
compared with 2,5S2,s14,0O0 bushels
harvested last year.
A yield of 1866 900 bushels of
oats is forecast, against 1,53S,359,OOO
bushels produced in 1918

Nesr York Tribune
Washington Buredw


WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-A complete
fist of prices on all subsistence stores
available for sale to the public through
the parcels post or municipal selling
agencies was made public to-day by
the War Department.
Cost of commodities to the govern
ment, it was said by the department,
were not taken into consideration in
fixing the selling prices, which are
considerably below the prevailing mar
ket figures. The following statement
rom the office of the director Of sales
was authorized for publication by the
War Department:
"Prces follow an all subsistence
commodities now available for sale to
the general public through the parcel
most and municipal selling agencies.
These quotations are all f. O. b. stor-
age point. The Postofsice Department
Will add to the unit prices set forth
in the appended list postal rates to
cover transportation by the pacel
post from War Department ware
houses to point of delivery. Sales
though the parcel post will begin
August 18.
"The municipalities may add to the
fixed price q sum sufficient to cover
transportation costs and other ex-
nenses. The new prices supersede all
.ormer quotations.
To Make Sales at Once
"The revised prices are now being
dispatched to surplus property officers
at the several zone supply Offices from
which sales are made. The surplus
property Offices will also make sales to
cities at the new prices as soon as
;hey receive the new quotations.
"In arriving at these prices the War
Department has disregarded costs of
commodities to the government and
aas sought only to make the foodstuffs
available at prices which are materi-
ally lower than prices prevailing in the
commercial markets for similar COM
nodties of like grades.
"To assure an equitable distribution
Of the surplus of food supplies the War
Department Is now redistributing its
food stores to the thirteen zones into
which the country is divided by the
Var Department, proportioning the
allotment to each zone on the basis
Of the population of the territory en-
5raced. The allotment to each zone
will include a complete stock of all
the commodities offered for sale.
"The inauguration of sales through
the parcel post will not suspend or in
