THE MERIDIAN TRIBUNE
ASKS END OF PRIVATE
RAILROAD OWNERSHIP
ORGANIZED LABOR IN LATEST DE-
MANDS, WANTS PROFIT SYS-
TEM CHANGED.
ONLY CORE FOR HIGH PRICES
Tripartite Control, Representing Peo-
ple, Employes and Management,
Is Plan Outlined.
A. Washington. — Organized labor has
come out with the unequivocal, formal
demand that private capital be retired
from the’ railroads.
, A tripartite control composed of the
public, the operating management and
the employes, is demanded instead.
Addressed to the American public
and signed by the engineers, the fire-
men, the conductors and the American
(Federation of Labor, a formal state-
ment was issued announcing this pro-
posal, which will be carried before
congress.
’ “It marks,” says the statement, “the
(steps by which organized labor passes
from demands for wage increases to
demands that the system of profits
in industry be overhauled.”
Briefly, labor demands:
That private capital be eliminated
from the railroads.
That the private owners receive for
them government bonds “with a fixed
interest return for every honest dol-
lar that they have invested.”
That the tripartite control, hereto-
fore referred to, be established in co-
operations which shall lease the roads
and in which the public, the operating
managements and labor shall be rep-
resented equally.
That the public, the operators and
the wage earners share equally all
revenue in excess of the guarantee to
private capital, by granting the opera-
tors and the employes of one-half the
savings which are expected to be made
by such a perfected organization, and to
the public the other half as consumers,
either by increasing service without
adding costs or by reducing costs.
: “This role originates with labor,”
says the statement, “because labor
happens to have firm organizations'
through which it may become articu-
late.”
Army Surplus Food for Sale.
Washington.—More than half of the
$132,187,700 worth of surplus food
stocks held by the war department

sale, according to a statement issued
by the department. In addition to the
canned goods and bacon previously
announced as ready for sale, the list
includes $16,500,000 worth of frozen
fresh beef, $2,078,000 worth of fresh
pork, $1,136,000 in frozen fresh poul-
try, and $1,478,000 in granulated sugar,
which since has been sold to the sugar
equalization board.
Headquarters at Coblenz.
Coblenz.—Coblenz will become the

/ Compress Will Not Run.
/ Ballinger, Texas.—On account of be-
ing unable to get labor the Texas
Compress company announces that the

pass through this city from other
points.
Terrible Slaughter of Jews.

cently returned from Paris, where he

COMPLETE RAILROAD
TIE-UP IS PREDICTED
RAILWAY WORKERS AND MAINTE-
NANCE OF WAY MEN TO JOIN
STRIKE, LEADERS SAY.
Washington.—Offiicals of the six big
railway shopmen’s unions have told
President Wilson they could not ap-
prove his plan for the settlement of
railway wage problems and asked the
immediate granting of increases aver-
aging approximately 25 per cent which
were demanded last January.
Declaring that 20,000 shopmen al-
ready have walked out on unauthor-
ized strike, the union officials said if
there was further delay - in granting
the demands the situation would get
beyond their control.
Chicago, Ill.--A complete tie-up of.
the railroads of the country was very
probable, in the opinion of M. L. Haw-
ver, president of the Chicago district
Council of the Federated Railway
Shopmen’s union, which called a strike
of shop crafts Friday. He has re-
turned from Washington and declared
the strike is spreading rapidly and
has overwhelmed the International
officers.
Advices from Cleveland are that the
executive board of the American Fed-
eration of Railway Workers, with a
membership of 26,000 chiefly unskilled
labor, in Cleveland and the east, had
decided to strike at once, according
to'Mr. Hawver.
The Maintenance of Waymen’s un-
ion also is preparing to strike, it was
said. With more than 250,000 shop-
men on strike and the numbed increas-
ing, both President Hawver and Sec-
retary John D. Saunders declared
railroad schedules and industry
would be seriously crippled within a
day or two. Already steel mills and
other industries at Gary and other
northern Indiana points and in Chi-
cago have begun to feel the effects
of the strike and when the strike is
more complete factories and mills
will virtually be forced to close down.
“This movement is spreading like
wildfire and we are not going to lay
down until we get our demands,” said
President Hawver. “It has not re-
ceived the indorsement of our grand
lodge, although they now are getting
ready for a strike Aug. 24.
“The seriousness of the situation
seems to be better understood in the
east than out here, although I did not
realize the extent of the shopmen’s
strike until I had returned here and
seen the reports that had been
received.
“In Washington the executive com-
mittee has been repudiated and the
entire grievance committee of 78 mem-
bers, representing all railway workers,
has been negotiating with the railroad
administration. Director General
Hines,, while stating that he is favor-
able toward the workers, has said that
the only way to meet our demand's
are two—a congressional appropria-
tion or increased freight rate.
“Mere and more it appears to me
that complete tie-up of the roads is to
be the outcome.”
Explosion at Home of Attorney.
Los Angeles, Cal.—Revenge for the
part he played in the prosecution of
a group of dynamiters in the middle
west several years ago was assigned
by the police here as the probable
motive for an attempt on the life of
Oscar Lawler, former assistant attor-
ney general of the United States.
Shortly before 3 o’clock Sunday morn-
ing, according to information gath-
ered by the police, a man driving an
automobile stopped in front of the
Lawler residence in. an exclusive res-
idential district. He dropped some-
thing, leaped into his car and rapidly
drove away. An explosion followed
almost immediately. The house burst
into fiames. Mr.. Lawler, his wife and
one child were trapped within. Pass-
ers-by rescued Oscar Lawler Jr.,, 5
years old.
To Make Army Training Compulsory.
Washington. — Maintenance of one
field army with a war strength of 1,-
250,000 men is proposed in a bill estab-
lishing a permanent military policy
which has been sent to congress by
Secretary Baker. The active-force of
this army would be 510,000 regulars
while the remainder would be young
men who had taken a tree-months mil-
itary training course, which would be
compulsory for all 19 year old youths.
Action Against Profiteers Planned.
Washington.—Steps toward reduc-
ing the high cost of living are expect-
ed this week. While all government
departments are working toward the

TREATY RESERVATIONS MEASURES SOUGHT
ARE RECOMMENDED
TO CUT LIVING COST
PLAN IS OFFERED FOR REACHING
MIDDLE GROUND ON WHICH
ALL MAY AGREE.
Washington.—The reservation pro-
posal agreed to by seven republican
senators as the basis of ratification of
the league of nations covenant is so
worded that the reservations and un-
dertaking enumerated shall become
“a part of the treaty” and shall not
stand simply as a detached interpre-
tation by the senate.
The reservations as. agreed to in
definite terms are embodied in a pro-
posed ratification resolution, reading
as follows:
Text of Reservations.
“That the senate of the United
States devise and consent to the rati-
fication of said treaty with the follow-
ing reservations and understandings
to be made a part of the treaty by the
instrument of ratification:
“1. That whenever the two years’
notice of withdrawal from the league
of nations shall have been given by
the United States, as provided in Ar-
ticle 1, the United States shall be the
sole judge whether all its internation-
al obligations and all its obligations
under this covenant shall have been
fulfilled at the time of withdrawal.
“2. That the suggestions of the
council of the league of nations as to
the means of carrying, the obligations
of Article 10 into effect are only ad-
visory, and that any undertaking un-
der the provisions of Article 10, the
execution of which may require the
use of American military or naval
forces, or economic measures, can,
under the constitution, be carried' out
only by the action of the congress,
and that the failure of the congress to
adopt the suggestions of the council
or of the league or to provide such
military or naval forces or economic
measures shall not constitute a viola-
tion ,of the treaty.
“3. The United States reserves to
itself the right to decide what ques-
tions are within its domestic jurisdic-
tion and declares’ that all domestic
and political resolutions relating to
its internal affairs, including immigra-
tion, coastwise traffic, the tariff, com-
merce and all other purely, domestic
questions are solely within the juris-
diction of the United States and are
not by this covenant submitted to any
way either to arbitraton or to the con-
sideration of the council or the as-
sembly of the league of nations or to
the decision or recommendation of any
other power.
“4. The United States does not
bind itself to submit for arbitration
or inquiry by the assembly or the
council any question which, in the
judgment of the United States, de-
pends upon or involves its long estab-
lished policy commonly known as the
Monroe Doctrine, and it is preserved
unaffected by any provision in the said
treaty contained.”
Wage Question Keeps House at Work.
Washington. — A new labor crisis,
growing out of the high cost of living,
is facing the railroad administration.
So pressing are the demands of the
railroad employes for more pay to
maintain their standard of living, that
President Wilson, following extended
conferences with Director General
Hines, asked the house of representa-
tives to abandon a proposed recess of
five weeks and remain in Washington
to consider the creation of a commis-
sion which would determine all ques-
tions concerning the wages of railway
workers. The house voted to comply
with the president’s request.
Daniel Leaves to Review Fleet.
Washington.—Secretary Daniels has
left for the Pacific coast, where he
will review the Pacific fleet and in-
spect naval bases and yards, with a
view to recommending to congress
such improvements as may be neces-
sary to take care of the new fleet. He
also plans to make a trip to Hawaii
to attend the opening of the new
Pearl Harbor dry-dock, one of the larg-
est in the world.
Chicago Street Car Strike Ends.
Chicago, Ill.—Chicago street car
men have voted to end the strike by
a majority of 386. Car service will
be resumed immediately on both sur-
face and elevated lines, which have
been tied up since last Tuesday. The
vote was taken on acceptance of a
proposition agreed upon by represent-
atives of the union and the companies.
Daylight Saving Up to President.
Washington.—The senate has decid-
ed to have the proposal for repeal of
the daylight saving law again run

passed and sent to the president the
separate house bill repealing the day-
light saving measure.

Berlin.—The former German em-
press, in the course of a letter to the
vicar of Churst Church at Wilhelm-
shohe, says: “The kaiser is bearing
his burden, but the Lord will lead
him out of the dark valley."
DEMANDS OF RAILROAD BROTH*
ERHOODS BRING IMMEDIATE
ACTION IN WASHINGTON.
Washington.—Governmental machin-
ery has been set in motion in response ,
to demands from the public that some
official action be taken to relieve the
high cost of living.
Prices, as they affect the average
citizen, assumed first place in interest
at the capitol. At the White House
President Wilson was said to be giv-
ing “deep and very thoughtful con-
sideration” to problems presented to
him and the railroad administration
by members of the railroad brother-
hoods, who represented that prices
would have to come down or wages
go up if social unrest was not to de-
velop into upheaval.
In the senate and house the situa-
tion gave rise to several resolutions
to investigate the cause, of existing
price levels, another to reduce the vol-
ume of currency in circulation as a
means of deflating prices, one to re-
quest that the attorney general stop
speculation in foods on exchanges and
another to sell this year’s wheat crop
at market prices instead of at the
government guarantee, the difference
to be made up by the government.
Attorney General Palmer has met
high government officials, whom he
had summoned to his office for a dis-
cussion of high costs and the best
methods to pursue to effect a reduc-
tion.
Perhaps the frankest talk which gov-
ernment officials have heard in a long
time came in this connection in the
statement of W. G. Lee, president of
the trainmen, before the wage and
adjustment board. Mr. Lee told the
board that an increase in wages was
not the proper solution of the present
economic hardships under which
workingmen are laboring because they
would be followed by new increases
in the cost of everything, which would
more than absorb the additional pay.
Until all classes get together to stop
“profiteering,” he said, “the.only thing
for everyone to do it to get all the
wages' he can,” a course which, he
declared, would eventually result in
the “upheaval” now staring the coun-
try in the face.
As a step toward breaking the high
prices, plans are being made by Sec-
retary Baker, Postmaster General
Burleson and Representative Kellogg
of Pennsylvania to sell, through the
parcel post surplus army food stocks
valued at $124,000,000.
Rural Survey Will Be Made.

the Rev. Miller Burrows, secretary,
announces. Questionaires covering
practically every phase of rural life

journment of the special session, which

consequently the emergency clause
was not passed.
Nathan Adams Heads Cotton Body.

cana was chosen vice chairman for
Texas and Robert C. Lowry of Dallas
secretary for the state organization.

Washington. — Final passage 'has
been obtained in the house of the bill

stock and other agricultural staples.

PLANT RIGHT KIND OF TREES
Expert on Subject Offers Advice to
Outdoor Art Committees of
Town Booster Clubs. ,
Booster clubs for town planning and
civic improvements are the natural
outgrowth of our war-time defense and
patriotic leagues. Our suburban towns
should not overlook this opportunity to
utilize these war-time organizations in
furthering the welfare of their com-
munities. Many interesting activities
can be carried on, for the improvement
and beautification of your town and
community. I would suggest the fol-
lowing as being important, interesting
and practical.
Have your boosters’ club appoint an.
outdoor art committee. The members
of this committee should be citizens
who can give considerable time, are
public spirited, self-sacrificing and ap-
preciate what town improvements
mean. This committee should recom-
mend the adoption of an ordinance for
the protection and regulation of tree
planting on all the public streets.
It should condemn the planting of
soft wood short-lived varieties of trees
like the willow, boxelder, cottonwood,
poplar and soft maples. All of these are
a nuisance and in many cases de-
structive. The roots of the willows,
poplars and cottonwoods fill the sew-
ers and injure pavements, while the
box elders and soft maples are always
seriously affected by insect and fungus
diseases.
Only the hardwood long-lived vari-
sties should, be recommended by this
committee, such trees as the American
elm, red and pin oaks, sycamore, Nor-
way maples, lindens, ginko, ironwood,
locusts, etc. These trees will grow to
be several hundred years old, are not
seriously affected by insect and fungus
diseases and seldom look shabby or
unsightly.—J. H. Prost in Chicago
Daily News.
BILLBOARDS HIT BY DECISION
By Ruling of Supreme Court They
May Be Barred From Resi-
dence Districts.
The power granted cities by the
United States Supreme court to elimi-
nate billboards altogether in the resi-
dential districts is hailed with appro-
bation by the American Civic associa-
tion in a bulletin which it devotes to
the billboard evil. The decision which
protects the millions of dollars invest-
ed in homes and civic improvements
was rendered in the case of the Cusack
company against Chicago.
The Civic association, in the strong-
est language, urges communities to
protect themselves from the intrusions
of billboards in the residence districts.
It calls the billboards “eyesores,”
which depreciate property values.
Los Angeles already has taken ad-
vantage of the power given it by the
Supreme court to bar billboards from
all parts of the city except business
districts. Whether a block is in a
business district is determined by the
written consent of the owners of 66
per cent of the property in the block
and the two adjoining blocks.
So it will take the permission of the
owners of two-thirds of the frontage
in three blocks to erect billboards
along one block.
The billboards may be banished at
any time upon the request of the
owners of 35 per cent of the frontage,
—Kansas City Star.
Appropriate Gardens.
Much that has been said in regard
to the house applies equally well to
the garden. Let its style be deter-
mined by locality. Formal gardens
with neat hedges and direct paths are
more and more appropriate as we ap-
proach the conventionalities of city
life. Leave the picturesque gardens
to spacious, picturesque surroundings.
Winding paths and other features of
the natural garden require to be close
to nature. An orchard is both more
useful and more beautiful in the prox-
imity of the small house that is not
far from town. The cost of main-
tenance is least in the orchard garden
with paved paths, flowering shrubs,
and borders of perennials.
Improve the Grounds.
Unfortunate, indeed, is the family
which has no trees or shrubbery about
the house and which has permitted
this much of 1919 to go by without
planting anything. Piling up of money,
land or stock for some one else to use4
at the expense of some of the com-
forts and pleasures easily obtained for
a home is not only poor judgment, but
poor business policy.
No Need of Haste.
There was a rookie in the same
squad I was in who objected strongly
to drilling. He executed “squads
right” and “squads left” in gloomy
silence, but -when “double time” was
given he growled loud'enough for the
whole squad to hear, “Hey, what’s the
hurry? We ain’t goin’ nowhere."-

“Why not?”

el, wife you are merely the hero of
