BELIEF GROWING THAT
 STRIKE MAY BE AVOIDED
Attitude of Officials of II Unions Will Be Big Factor; Confer
 ence Called.

Chicago, Oct 18.-Feeling that the threatened general railway strike will be averted, or at the outside it will be confined to a few roads and of short duration, continued stronger to- night, after survey of the days de- velopments.
 Chief among the considerations is the action that will be taken by the II associations of railway employees whose officers have not yet voted a strike. Some of these men are known to be bitterly opposed to strike at this time. Their men have voted for a strike, but this vote can be vetoed by their officers. Officials of these associations will meet in Chicago and decide upon some action tomorrow.
 Another factor that may have a vital bearing upon the strike, is the conference to be held in Chicago to- tomorrow between the brotherhood chiefs and the United States Railway Labor Board. This conference is to be held at the request of President Harding That it will be highly inn portant is shown in the fact that the brotherhood officials hastily aban- doned a ''war council called in Cleveland and arranged to start for lChicago immediately.
 Peace Plan Outlined.
 Commissioner Ben Hooper, one of the public group" returned today from Washington and before an ex- ecutive session of the Federal Railway Labor Board, recounted everything that had occurred at the Washington conference. Mr. Hooper and the others declined to give any hint of their plans for restoring industrial harmony to the railway situation, but they seem to feel that way will be found to restore peace. Mr. Hooper however, told of the plan set forth by the public group in it's White House consultations and this may be the basis for negotiations. Here are the high points of this plan:
 The unions to call off the strike temporarily, at least.
 The rail executives to withdraw their avowal that they will seek an additional 10 per cent wage cut.
 The carriers to proceed to cut freight rates under direction of the Interstate Commerce Commission, to absorb the greater part of the $4OO,- OOO,O00 annual saving potentially ef- fected by the July 1 wage reductions
 The theory is that this will helr to stimulate business and to reduce the cost of living, and as living costs descend, the roads, at their discretion might seek further wage reductions
 Dispatches from Washington indi- cate that the Interstate Commerce Commission has under consideration a freight rate readjustment policy and may render decision in a few days
 Through a petition filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission to- day, asking that reductions of from 10 to- 20 per cent in freight rates on basic necessities of life be ord aIed the American Farm Bureau projected itself into the rail transportation con- troversy. J. R. Howard, president of the Farm Bureau, telegraphed invita- tions to the rail executives and brotherhood chief to join him in con- ference in Chicago. The Farm Bu- reau has 1,3OO,OOO members and is vitally interested ill transportation affairs.

FROM THE OCEANS DEPTHS
Whale Shark, Caught of Miami, Fla,
Something of Surprise 70
the Scientists.

The first whale shark ever captured
Is on exhibition at the Smithsonian in
stitution at Washington. Capt. Charles
Thompson Of Miami, Fla, who has
some big fish captures to his credit. in
Guiding the largest devilfish ever lifted
to land, is the captor Of this monster.
He caught it while cruising off
Knights key. 1t took 20 men nearly
two days to bring 1t ashore. The net
weight Of the fish is 10000 pounds. its
length is As feet and its circumference
at the thickest part is % feet 8 inches.
Its tail measures 10 feet from tip to
tip.
The scientists who looked this fish
over said that he was only an infant
whale shark and that full-grown ones
are two and one-half times as large.
It inhabits the ocean at depth of L.
500 feet and it's hide Is of great thick
ness to Withstand the enormous water
pressure. A 45-caliber bullet could
not even dent 1t.
How this baby whale shark hap
pened to come to the surface is con-
lecture one explanation being that It
was thrown up by a submarine volcanic
disturbance and that in the journey its
deep-sea diving powers were injured
so that 1t was unable to sink to its
natural water levels.
The whale shark has little circular
lidless eyes that are sightless. Its
mouth Is 80 inches wide and 43 inches
deep, It's tongue is 40 inches long
Hundreds of teeth line the sides of its
Jaw. It had speed on the surface of

Euel from Wheat Straw.

A ton of sun-dried wheat straw has
been found from the Canadian expert

to that of 80 gallons of gasoline. 1t
yields about 10000 cubic feet of puri-

residue, and about 10 gallons of tarry
liquid. The gas, which has caloric
value Of about 400 British thermal
