Trying to Eliminate Politics.
The committee apparently was ready . ’
with its re|M>rt when the session start-j
cd but when it was culled for by the.
chairman it was found that a special
meeting was being held with the ob-
ject of eliminating all political ques-: (
tions. This move is understood to have
the backing of Lieut. Col. Theodore;
Roosevelt and Bennett Clark and other
leaders in the organization. I
Backers of these two questions insist j
they will force the cuih-iis to take some’
action but now are meeting with firm • (
opposition. . . • 1 1
The attack against prohibition was ।
led in the committee meeting by West I ]
Virginia and Kentucky. i (
Chicago and Mayor Thompson were
bitterly denounced as unpatriotic when
the questions of the next convention city 1
came up. The Chicago delegation had
decorated the convention hall with signs
boosting ’he city but after a speech by L
J. F. J. Herbert of Massachusetts dele-
gates tore down many of them. I (
•’Massachusetts will not agree willing- (
ly to having a convention of soldiers in I ]
'the great war go to a city that has as
[its first citizen by vote one who can-1*
[ not measure up in any small part to the
test of 100 per cent American” said
SEATS
I Mr. Herbert whpn Chicago was sug-
' gested.
••The hall is placarded by signs say-
: iug ’The Aiqet ican Legion Chicago
| wants you in November.’ If these signs
। said ‘Chicago soldiers and sailors want
you’ we would consider it. but our re-
ply now must be: ‘Chicago cannot have
us now or any other time until Chicago
1 has an American for mayor*.”
1 The applause following the speech
I lasted several minutes mid then led by
ithe Oregon delegation the delegates bc-
igan tearing down the signs. The Nc-
| braska delegation in casting its vote.
said it wanted it known the action was
•accompanied by the sentiment ”to hell
with 'Big Bill’ Thompson.’’
“No Reflation on Chicago.”
I Col. Luke Lee. of Tennessee later of-
[fered a resolution declaring the rejec-
i tion of Chicago was not meant as a re-
flection on the patriotism of its loyal
citizens. This was carried unanimously.
The Soldiers and Sailors Council of
' Seattle Washington was barred from
I the organization on the grounds^ that
Jts membership contained L U. W„ and
other so-called radicals. It was iIF
I formed that many of its members would
■be welcomed by the legion but that they
1 first must sever connection with the
club.

im btul efforts to hasten the return of
industry to normal peace time activity
by stabilizing prices through the Indus-
trial Board of the Department uf Com-
merce have conic to mi end.
Following a final unsuccessful effort
Thursday to bring the Luitcd States
Railroad Administration and steel pro-
ducers to an agreement on prices in New
York the resignations of Chairman
George N. Peek of Moline. HL. and the
other six members of the hoard were
accepted by Secretary Redfield.
With the dissolution of the hoard the
natural forces of supply mid demand
will be left to readjust prices from war
levels to those of peace. Director Gen-
eral Hines has announced the railroad
administration would return to the old
system of competitive bidding.
Govermnent officials declarecl they did
not know whether the ste<4 pruluceis
would keep in force the price schedule
approved by the industrial board which
was the basis of all bids recently submit-
ted for -il.tMHi tons of steel needed by
the navy. It became known that when
the legality of price agreements arranged
by the board was submitted to Attorney
General Palmer he rendered an opinion
that such action was not authorizeii by
law. but did not declare such an agree-
ment would be illegal. <Mher officials
held that the purely voluntary nature of
new price schedules arranged by the
board which admittedly was without
power to enforce the prices and seeking
merely to stimulate business by effeetin:;
redu«*tions. put the agreements without
the pale of the Sherman Anti-tnrt law.
The steel schedule was the first ami
only one ever promulgated by the board
which was appointed in March. Rep-
re entatives of four other industries —
coal cement hardwood and pine lum-
ber-had expressed a willingness to co-
« perate with the board and conferences
looking to price reductions had been
ke;d.
Mr. Redii<i l paid high tribute to the
board's work in a lctt"r to Chairman
IV* k.
“You have not sought to control but
to c« -operate.” he said. “You have ex-
hausted the n sources of courtesy. Your
attitude has been unselfish generous mid
y. ur vision broad.*’
President Wilson has been kept con-
stantly informed of the disagreement
ami it was r.t his suggestion that a last
effort was made to harmonize the di-
tergent views.

Action of Ruilv.ry Director.
Indianapolis. May In a lengthy
telegram from John L. Lewi* acting
president of the United Mine Workers ot
I America to W alker D. Hines directori
general of railroad# made public last
I night the United States Railroad A<l
ministration is t-burged with showing
diMuiminatioii in its purchase of rail-
| road coal in the face of its “announced
. polity of equal distribution.”
The telegram declared that the ques-
I tion is of vital importance to the*miners.
I aff's-tiiig their daily life mid “that there j
is a que>tioii of human equation mid |
I human value* involved which in all sin
errity I warn you cannot be disre-
garded."
The telegram states that headquarters
I of the mine workers ha* been autlmrita-
। lively advised that in Dhio. the Colum-
bus and Pittsl/irg division of the I’emi
|>y lvania Lines West has allotted all
1 contracts for locomotive fuel for cle\*?n
months to two producing companies in
District Number S. of Ohio wherca-
this business heretofore has been shared
by 21 companies. It declares further
that authoritative advices arc to the ct
led lhat the Pere Marquette has ar-
ranged to sci'ure 50(ijNMi tons of coal
from We t Virginia heretofore furnished
। by i Ihio <»p<*rators mid that o.OIMUHm
tons annually furnished for a period of
several years by the Potomac coal field*
in Maryland is now secured elsewhere.
Mr. Lewis in the trigram says in
conclusion :
“The United Mine Worker* have in
every honorable way. by application of
1 reason mid logic sought to obtain the ap-l
: plication of a practical conimon-scn>e»
i business policy the I nited States Rail-’
road Administration which would pro-
I ted the interests of all elements in the]

J.ad reason to assume you were impressed

to so flagrantly disregard the rules of
equity which should obtain affecting the
interests involved.
