UNION LEADERS" IN CONFERENCES (Continued From First Page) a strangle hold on all profiteers, speculators and hoarders. 3. For all departments of the government to disgorge im mediately niul throw onto tlie open market everything it has in the way of surplus supplies. This would Include not alone everything In (he way of food stuffs, hut clothes, blankets, shoes and all sorts of goods of this description, and might even Include some fuel. The subcommittee after working all Saturday, most of the night and yesterday, came to the conclusion that the situation throughout the i country was so menacing in its as pect as to Justify action. First, the members of the sub committee set forth in writing thfeir individual views both as to the out standing features of the situation and their ideas as to its immediate solution. These views have now been combined in the shape of a single repdrt. Bread-stuffs Exported Attention was directed to the fact that 'during June the American ex ports of breadstuffs amounted to $1 18.330,21 I,as compared with $54,- 372,471 in June, 1918, when the world was at war and the United State supposedly exerting every ef fort to feed the Allied peoples. Meat and dairy products exported during June of this year aggregated $174,344,993, as against $77,957,- 555 in June, 1918. The exports of meat and dairy products during the twelve months ending July 1 of this year—embracing eight months sincr. the war closed—reached a total of $1,157,850,576, as against $673,- 835,794 in the twelve months end ing July 1, 1918, all of which wero war months. The comparison of breadstuff exported during (he same period show $954,779,894 during twelve months up to and Including June, 1919, $623,239,856 during preceding twelve months. While all government departments are working toward the end of alle viating unrest by restoring a normal level of prices, interest also centers in the meeting Tuesday of the con ference called by Attorney General Palmer to consider the best meth ods of procedure, especially with re spect to profiteering. The commit • tee appointed by the conference, Di i rector General Hines, Assistant Sec retary' of the Treasury Leffingwell, and Chairman Colver, of the Fed eral Trade Commission, have been engaged in an exchange of memo randa which will be put before the conference for recommendation to President Wilson, who is following all steps closely. The presence of Julius Barnes, director of the United States Grain Corporation, at the meeting Tues day will give expert counsel to the cabinet members and other officials on the grain situation. Considera tion of a plan to sell wheat in a free market, the government absorbing the difference between the market price and the guaranteed price, is believed certain. There are Indications that the At torney General is paying especial at tention to cases of profiteering. He has at his disposal a great volume of Information collected by the Fed eral Trade Commission, showing production costs in scores of Indus tries. While there Is no law by which profiteering may be punished directly. Mr. Palmer has said that there is a great deal of "good law" on the statute books and it Is be lieved he will find a way to punish any cases where there are evidences of extortion. The average citizen is the man in whose behalf the profiteering In vestigation will be pushed, despite the fact that It was the new de mands of the railroad labor unions which precipitated It. Several offi cials have expressed sympathy with the salaried man who lacks the hacking of a powerful organization. Cleveland Strike Fizzles With Only Ten Out By Associated Press. Cleveland, Aug. 4.—Reports last night from Chicago that 26,000 members of the American Federa tion of Railway Workers here and in the east, chiefly unskilled labor had decided to strike to-day, failed to materialize here according to J reports from all local railroad yards that all but ten shopmen reported for work this morning.

She said that Mrs. McLaughlin kept a boardinghouse, the same as she did, and had an old man there all the time whom she called "Uncle Billie."

Funds, he said, are not in sight for such an expendi ture at this time, his off-hand esti mate being $5,U00,000, but he said the limit of capacity is being rapidly neared and some relief must come soon. Mr. Elmer begged the Rotarians not to crltise the men operating the sta tion for any delays or inconveniences there.- He said his sympathy went out to them, that they are working under difficulties and making the best of a bad situation which he hoped soon could be improved. The superintendent called the atten tion of the club to the tine new freight station which the company has built here and issued an Invitation to the organization to make an inspection of it. At the same time he urged the shippers among the members to be more careful of the type of containers they used and insofar as possible to order in carload lots. "The Federal Railroad Administration paid out last j year in damaged freight claims, sloot j UOO.OOO," said he "and of tiiis sum the Pennsylvania Railroad contributed I $4,000,000." The railroad he said is j doing its best to "better this condition but the shipper must do his part by the use of containers that will not be easily broken. He appealed for carload lot orders on the ground that cars could then be kept working to capacity and thus more cars would be provided for all shippers. An ef fort is being made he said to get rid entirely of the old time wooden car of light construction, but some of I these may have to be put back into service. Mr. Elmer discussed the conditions of the roads at present and urged the support of the public and full co-op eration of shippers for the benefit of all concerned.

It was 7 o'clock when the train with twenty four soldiers reached Harrisburg. The local canteen service of the Red Cross Was in charge of Miss Upde grove, who got busy at once.

Senate Committee to Start at Once on Study of the j Whole Railroad Problem i Washington, Aug. 4. Senator Cummins, Chairmun'"~of the Inter state Commerce Committee, said that the committee would plunge, on Tuesday, into an exhaustive inquiry into the railroad situation. It will devote itself particularly to a study of the railroad problem from the viewpoint of the crisis that came to a head with the letter of President Wilson to Speaker Gillett. "The I'resiAent was right in say ing that something ought to be deme quickly to relieve the railroad situ ation," said Mr. Cummins. "I am in entire accord with him as to that. ] Either wages must be increased or j the cost of living must bo reduced.

I {North American Is j Doubtful on Potash Find j The Philadelphia North Ameri-1 can, which on Saturday gave first- I page space to a report of finds of I potash of enormous exten-t in Tioga i county, is slowing up on the reports and to-day prints an article headed "P. "Big Potash Finds In Tioga Not Yet Sure; Do Not Buy Stocks." In the course of its article the big Philadelphia newspaper says: "Colonel H. C. Demmlng still de clines to make public the names of the chemists who analyzed the Ti oga county potash rooks, on which j he based his statement that the find was one of the largcßt in the world. In his announcement Colonel Dem mlng asserted that analyses and physical tests have been made by the New York State School of Agri culture, Alfred .University, Cornell University, a Wisconsin collego and the Demmlng laboratory, in Harris burg. It is not denied that the Po cono sands of Tioga and Potter counties contain potash, but local geologists who are familiar with the district say that the value of the deposit depends upon the quantity of available salts that can be re claimed." The North American- quotes some Tioga county people this way: "They declare that the Poono sandstone if taken from the hill in large quantities would show a con siderably lower percentage of pure potash, and that selected samples of the rock do not justify Colonel hemming in claiming that the whole mountain will run high in the val • p salts. There may be deposits of potash in the Tioga county hills, but some State officials, who are naturally deeply interested in the find, declare that the commercial worth of the deposit must be dem onstrated." HELD FOR COURT Throe city men, Harry Keefer and Albert Esterline, 1847 North Seventh street, and Henry Washlnger, 1846 Hickory street, are being held in the Dauphin county jail, awaiting a pre liminary hearing on a charge of stealing merchandise and foodstuffs from Pennsylvania railroad cars in tho local yards. Some of the stolen goods is said to have been recovered at the homes of the men. Ester line and Washlnger are said to be railroad employes. ARE YOU Suffering front CATARRH?
