WARNING GIVEN
HOME BREWERS

Washington, Aug. II (By the Asso-
anti-Volsteadans, beware the "Booz!
Powder" is the warning sent broad
cast by the postoff'ce department, in
n recent circular. For stumbling 4
tide of "dehydrated" alcoholic bever-
ages of reminiscent names is steady
job of the fraud section of the depart
ment.
Using the reputation of German
chemists certain German concerns
have distributed hundreds of thou
sands Of circulars in the United
States, Offering for "$1 only, Rhine
wine, moselle, sherry, port, bordeaux,
burgundy, tokay, Munich beer, Pilsen-
eli, porter, ale, etc.," in a dried form,
says the postoffice. From the powder
{, gallon or two of the beverage ind
Gated on the package can be made,
the spurious circulars claim.
Despite the issuance of fraud warn
ings and fraud orders, many people
are still sending money to these Ger
man concerns only to have the mon
ey returned to them by the postoffioe
department. If these powders con-
tained alcohol their importation would
be prohibited and since they do not
rave the latent possibilities advertised
they violate the mail fraud statutes.
A significant requirement, adds
the department warnings, is that ev-
cry advertising circulars insists on
payment being made in American
currency.

! AIf. Stone relhaxked. :

-. -. sheppard, president OF the Or
der of conductors, said the demand Of
the strikers for full seniority status in
case Of their return to work could not
be modified, and the view Of the strike
leaders appeared to coincide, entirely
with this position. The seniority ques-
ton has been the crucial issue I'M the
strike situation ever since the organi-
cations now out of service agreed to
order their men back pending rehear-
ing before the railroad labor board
Of wage cuts which went into eff
feet July 1.
President Harrison of the Southern
railway, who announced early this
week, after attempting unsuccessfully
to deal separately with the striking
unions on the basis of granting them
the seniority demand, that the South
ern would proceed to employ outside
.nen, issued statement today declar-
ing that "people all over the South
now demand that this strike
be fought out" Public opinion could
restore normal transportation, he
said, but if it supports the determi-
nation of the striking shopmen to
disregard the tribunal set up by con-
gress to do them justice, and agrees
that they may write their own pay
checks, then there may be resump-
ton Of work on that basis, but freight
rates must be again increased"
President Harding, who was under
stood to be preparing his message to
congress, held discussions concern
ing it during the day with Senator
Lodge, the Republican leader in the
senate. 1t was considered certain,
advisers said, that he would not re-
guest legislation to deal with the rail
strike, although it was regarded as
probable he would assure congress
that such request would be made if
the situation necessitated.
1t was said to be his intention to
. explain the whole industrial situation
in the light Of steps taken by the ad-
ministration with reference to the
strikes and It was considered prob
able that he would express determi-
nation to give federal aid and protec-
tion to efforts to keep the railroads
running. This determination, it was
suggested, inclined him to delay his
pronouncements for a few hours at
least, lest they affect the continued
efforts of non-striking unions to medi-
ate for the strikers.
Railroad traffic is continuing to
maintain fair volume, according to
reports to the AGsoci-..ol ct Railway
Executives, during the week ended
August s, 851, ,315 cars being loaded
with freight. This was said to he
reduction of 1882 cars from the
previous week, but an increase Of 65,-
173 cars over the corresponding week
CT 1921. On July 81, the association
also said, there were 174,927 surplus
freight cars in good repair on lines
Immediately available for service.
This was decrease Of 28,395 cars
from the number in surplus on July
23.

AWAITING OUTCOME OF CONFERENCE
BEFORE GIVING MESSAGE TO CONGRESS

Washington, Aug. II. = President
Harding today decided to defer his ad-
dress to congress on the industrial sit
uation until tomorrow or a later date.
Washington, Aug. 16 (By the Asso-
ciated Press).-Agreement between
railroad executives and railroad labor
organizations to hold another con-
ference tomorrow in New York to seek
a settlement of the shopmen's strike,
1t was said today, had resulted in
President Harding questioning the de-
sirabihty of making his expected re-
port to congress and the country on
the strike situation within the next
few hours. Plans made for the recep-
tIon OF his communication tomorrow
at a joint session of the house and
senate consequently, were understood
to be on the verge of a revision to-
night as the president was represent
ed as being desirous of withholding
his statement of the case if the un-
. IONS chiefs and the railroad presi-
dents could hold out any prospect of
final satisfactory settlement.
Heads Of the seven unions met to-
day with the officials of unions not in
volved in the controversy and after
some delay reached decision to take
almost the entire group to New York
for the discussions of the executives.
Though officers of the five organiza-
tions Of train service employees, the
engineers, fremen, conductors, brake
men and switchmen, will be the onlv
ones actually to meet with the COM
mittee of railroad executives, their
chairman, Warren S. Stone, declared
they desired close at hand all the
strike leaders and the spokesmen for
all the other railroad unions. Some
objection to this plan developed
among the strike leaders but they fin
ally arranged to send most of their
group, including B. M. Jewell, their
chairman, to New York, and to call in
all concerned in case any, settlement
