 REMAIN 0N JOB
Want Definite Results in the High Cost of Living
 Fight.

Chicago, June 3.-Heads of IT unl- ons of railroad employees with mem bership of 2,000,000 tonight sent tel egrams to President Wilson, Speaker Gillette of the house of representa- tives and Senator Lodge protesting against the prosposed adjournment Of congress and urging that it remain in session until some definite action to curb profiteering and reduce living costs has been taken.
 The telegram declared that not single remedial measure on these subjects had been passed and declares that Git appears to us incredible that the responsible leaders of the govern ment can assent to this seeming agree ment to continuation of do nothing policy which means the grave eco- homie problems of the people are to be made the playthings of politics and politicians for the next five months.
 "We call attention to the fact, reads the telegram, "that despite rev. elations as to the profiteering scan- dal, congress has done nothing to check the evil or to punish the evil doers; that the cost of living con tinues to advance without single remedial measure passed and that there has not been even serious con sideration of contractive Legislation dealing with the serious problem ot industrial unrest"
 Adjournment of congress at this time "invites political chaos and bus, mess disaster" the telegram says ir closing.

 The committee recommended that the work affecting the former service men should be co-ordinated and the responsibility placed under one ac- tive directing board; that the former soldier holding converted policies should be permitted to name any ben eficiary and use their insurance as collateral; that policies must be is sued promptly and branch offices es- tablished to collect premiums through local post offices.
 The committee reported that over 100000 men have converted their in- surance for over $400,000,000 and that many more must do so but that mo policies have yet been issued although policies were approved over one year ago and this had led to considerable friction" The committee stated that the weakness in government insur- ance" lay in the fact that insurance could not be successful without active solicitation and the government was in no position to do this.
