New York, Oct. 27.-The total ma
tional income of the United States
in 1918 was 81 billion dollars, as COM
pared with 34.4 billions in 1913.
But this increase in dollars did not
represent a like increase in produc-
ton. Most of it was due to the rise
in prices, for the dollar Of 1918 and
1919 was a much less efficient dollar
than that Of 1918. The actual total
of commodities produced increased
very little, if at all, and large part
Of those which were produced were
war materials, not of a kind really
benefiting consumers.
Consequently, individual incomes,
estimated on per capita basis, rising
from $34O in 1910 and 1854 in 1913,
to $3.50 in 1913, represented more
dollars but little or no real increase
because the $3.50 Of 1918 is equiva-
lent to only $372 in terms of the pur-
chasing power Of 1913.
These are the most important find

Indications Are That Union
Chiefs May Be Jailed If
They Refuse Order
OFFICIALS OUTLINE 4
FINAL CONCESSIONS
Hooper Declares Men Will Be
Striking Solely on Last !.
July Wage Cuts -,

Washington, Oct. 81. by Herbert
Walker) = Railroad brotherhood
chiefs will be jailed if they refuse to
rescind their strike call and tie up
the mails and the interstate commerce
it was indicated today.
With the zero hour for the threat
ened rail strike approaching, .Attor-
ney General Daugherty decided that
if the walkout develops he has ample
authority to obtain court injunction
restraining any interference with the
mails or interstate commerce.
Any failure of the union chiefs to
obey the injunction would in all prob
ability be classed as contempt of
court and the leaders could be i'm
prisoned.
Daugherty has found a precedent
for such action was established dur
ing the famous Pullman strike of
1894 The United States Supreme
Court then upheld such steps taken
by the federal government.
Chicago, Oct. 27.-Government Of
ficials today outlined final conces-
sions that the United States Labor
Board would make to the two million
railroad workers of the nation in an
effort to prevent the October 80
strike:
The proposition was made to union
chiefs by Ben Hooper, vice-chairman
and public representative on the
board, in addressing secret session
of union heads at the Masonic Tenn
pie. Immediately after Hooper pre-
sented his program for settlement of
the dispute the union meeting adj
journed, until l. p. M, when union
heads were Ito meet to formulate
their answer.
1t took Hooper nearly three hours
to outline his plan. Following the
meeting he appeared very optimistic.
The labor board will not consider
any petition for further wage cuts in
the future. All cases regarding rail-
roads and working conditions must be
disposed of by the board before it
takes the question of any petition
for further cuts in wages, which the
railroad executives might file.
"You have the promise Of the execs

without orderly process by the road!
IF you strike you will be striking sole
ly on the wage cut of last July, which
was only a small percentage of the
total increase granted during the
war;" Hooper said.
Hooper told Of the steps which the
government was preparing to take in
court, in case the strike should be ef-
fective, to force union chiefs to
