ALL INDUSTRY SOON
WILL Be TIED UP
Starvation VIII Begin to Grip the Big
Cities With Few Weeks
More of the Strike

Chicago, July 25.-(By Associated
Press The railroad strike, combin-
ed with the coal strike, is being
brought home to the public today
through announcement by leaders in
several industries that unless speedy
settlement is reached the closing of
plants with resulting unemployment,
rationing of fuel and food supplies
and the Gripping of public utilities
would result.
The steel plants, especially in the
east, will be closed on wholesale scale
If present conditions continue until
August, according to the head of one
large corporation. Industrial coal is
said to be unobtainable at any price in
New York. In Chicago increases of
from $5.25 to S1525 ton in coal
prices is announced. A shortage of
coal cars in the bituminous fields has
caused an appreciable decline in pro-
duction.
The close relationship the strikes
are assuming is seen in the statement
Of II. B. Thumbower, of the Wiscon-
s-n railroad commission, that if the
strike lasts an additional two weeks,
rail transportation in that state will
be at a standstill.

PENSIONERS COMPELLED TO
WORK AS STRIKEBREAKERs
press information Service)

press Information Service)
Cleveland, July 25.-Faced with the
tragic alternative of losing their live
lihood or breaking fraternal ties
which have bound them to their labor
union for half a century, many worn
out employees of the railroads are be-
ing ordered back to. service as strike
breakers under penalty of losing the
retirement pension which is their sole
source of income. These aged en-
ployes, after years of faithful service
to the railroads, were placed in the
human scrap pile by their employers
with sufficient pension to sustain life.
Many of them have been faithful
members of the railroad labor unions
for forty years or more, and wear
the honor badge of these organiza-
tons. Reports coming in from various
railryads of the country show that
certain INSCRIPTIONS executives are
now ordering these old pensioners to
return to work and "scab" On their
brother workers out on strike, with
the alternative of losing their entire
pension.f On the other hand. if they
act as strikebreakers, they will be ex-
PEELED by their brotherhoods.
Some of the most tragic dramas of
the present strike are being enacted
in the homes of these old pensioners,
many of whom are facing actual star
walton rather than imperil the inter-
ests of their brother workers. "How
can the railroad companies expect
greater loyalty from their employees" ,"
these old pensioners ask, "when a re-
ward justly earned by faithful service
is used as a club to compel US to be-
tray our brother workers struggling
for living wage?"

SHERIFF MERRITT WOULD
BE A LIFE-SAVER
Wants Law to Compel Motorists To
Come to Full Stop at Rail-
road Crossings

Fort Pierce, July 25.-Sheriff Mer-
ritt, who was recently installed in
that Office, believes that the next leg
isiature should enact law requiring
motorists to come to a stop at tn.
railroad crossings. Sheriff Merritt
says that hardly day passes but that
news dispatches do not contain stor-
les of fatal accidents at the crossings.
He believes the "Stop, Look, Listen"
sign should be taken seriously.
Ordinarily" said Mr.. Merritt, in
discussing the proposition, 81 am op-
posed to the passage of new laws to
add to the volumes already supposed
to be in effect and would rather favor
the repeal of good many that have
already been enacted You can hard
ly pick up paper without reading
of some horrible crossing tragedy
that could have been avoided by the
exercise on the part of the car driver
of just little common sense and eau
ton. To require the driver to bring
his car to dead standstill would not
necessarily inconvenience anyone,
neither would it result in the loss of
more than a minute or two. On the
other hand, such law, if enacted and
enforced, would without question re-
suit in the saving of many lives every
year
'I'd like to see the proposition agi-
tated and discussed throughout the
state until public sentiment was
aroused to such an extent as to de-
mand the passage of such a law by
the next legislature. The situation is
such that something must be done 10
check the heavy toll of life, not so
much for the sake of drivers who per-
sist in daring fate by scooting over
railroad crossings without investiga-
ton, but rather for the sake of the
innocent who are mangled or killed
through their foolhardy carelessness." !"
A law containing provisions along
the line suggested by Sheriff Merritt
was recently put into effect in Vir-
ginia. The first day of its operation,
constables were placed at crossings
throughout the state. Wholesale ar
rests followed its first days enforce
nent.

MAY HAVE To MAKE
DECISIVE MOVE
President Will Try to Prevent Break
down of Transportation But Isn't
Advertising Plan of
Procedure

Washington, July 25.-( Associated
Press)-The growing impression that
the administration is rapidly ap-
preaching the point in its attitude to-
ward the railroad strike where de-
cisive move to arrest the resulting
breakdown in transportation might be
loked for raised some expectation of
important developments at today's
cabinet meeting. President Harding,
who is in personal charge of the ques-
tion, is understood to have received
the opinion from some of his advisers
that the government can permit the
disruption of transportation to go no
further. There was no indication,
however, of the manner in which the
crisis might be laid before the cabinet
session.

SAVING RUSSIANS
FROM STARVATION

New York, July 25.-How band of
$50 Americans is able to direct the
feeding of nearly 100000 starving
Russians is depicted in advices receiv-
ed from Moscow by the American Re-
lief Administration.
The organization is similar to the
army supply system. Headquarters
are in Moscow, which corresponds
geographically to Chicago. Ten divis-
ions, executive, administrative, sup
ply, traffic, liaison, communications,
medical, finance, motor transport and
special investigation, operate from
this point, forty-seven Americans
comprising the stats.
The entire American, personnel is
distributed into twenty-four districts,
each district, save four railroad CEN
tiers, being in charge of supervisor
responsible Co headquarters at Mos
cow. These groups serve an area of
nearly 100000 square miles, larger
than the United States. Districts ad-
jacent to the Volga valley, the heart
of the famine region, receive the
greatest attention. From Kazan, the
seat of the government of the Tartar
republic, south to Astrakhan at the
mouth of the river on the Caspian
Sea, every rail head on the Volga is
manned by American units. Here
sixty men supervise the feeding of
more than 100000 people.
In the Ukraine and the Crimea, the
five strategic points of Kiev, Khartov,
Odessa, Elkaterinoslav and Theodosia
are the bases of supplies from which
twenty-seven Americans direct child
feeding and food remittance deliver
les.
Refugee kitchens and stations for
food remittance are operating at
Vitebek, Minsk and Gomel, providing
for the district west of Moscow to the
Polish border. Beyond the famine
zone on the upper Volga, Americans
are in charge of transfer warehouses
at two points, and also at two inter
mediate points between Moscow and
the Volga. Corn is shipped directly
through these centers for tranship-
ment to famine centers.
Thus every thickly populated center
of Russia is covered. Moscow and
Petrograd have independent supervis-
ion of child-feeding and food remit
tance. In each about $4,000 children
are fed.
This gigantic task is being accom-
plished in land where telegrams
take two or three days In transmits
sion; where messages must be trans
lated, transmitted, then re-translated;
where, through misunderstanding in
punctuation, messages like this are
received: Gears numbered 6013280913-
4899 NPX have left today for Sa-
mara; where one is advised to take a
train on Tuesday and therefore pre-
pares to go to the station along about
the following Thursday; where jour
neys of ordinary length, thousand
miles or so, are spoken of as Nfve or
six days away; where the traveller
covering 1000 miles must cook his own
food and wash his own clothes while
he rides.
Yet, with such handicaps, the ad-
ministration has succeeded in moving
nearly 20O, 900 tons of corn from sea-
ports to interior districts. in shipping
daily 5000 tons of food from Moscow;
in sending out $500 food packages
daily to the districts; and in equipping
1400 hospitals with all the necessities
of such institutions, including 10000
sheets and an equal number OF blan-
kets.
