' Day Set For Strike Last Daj Of Heavy Traffic In FoodstuffsBT7LLXTT5 f INTERNATIONAL NEWS 5DWICE1 CHICAGO, Oct. 18 "Settlement -with the Brotherhoods alone will not avert 1 trouble on the railroads," according' to , B. H. arable, ef etroi, Mica., presi- ' dent of the United Brotherhood of Shop Laborers and Maintenance of Way Bm- : ployes, representing- 300,000 workers, declared here today. "The other railroad unions must be reckoned with before there is peace. Representing more than 1,500,000 of the S, 500,000 organized railroad workers, : they are as determined as the Brotherhoods that there shall he no more wage cuts and that there shall he a proper revision of working- rules. "Unless they are taken Into consideration, a railroad strike is lnevitab whether It comes Oct. 30 or some other date." arable reiterated the charge mads yesterday that the Erie railroad already had Instituted a wage cut on common labor from 37H cents to 30 cents an hour and said that he would take the question to the labor board. BT "WEBSTER K. SOULS WASHINGTON, Oct. 18. Perishable food supply bases In the United State? will stave off a famine of butter, eggs, poultry and cheese for four weeks in the event of a nation-wide railway tie-up, according: to market figures compiled today by the bureau of markets at the department of agriculture here. By a fortunate dove-tailing of date-, the date set for the walkout of railway employe marks the last day of hee-cy transcontinental traffic In potatoes, apples, vegetables and poultry Twanty-four thousand car loads of these loodstuffs have be-en and will continue to be moved daily until Oct. 30 when the movement will be cur tailed by half for the winter months. Milk would be the first commodity affected by the nation-wide strike. The larger cities would feci the shortage the greatest. Some relief in this respect might be expected from the rapid growth of the milk-truck traffic, which in many parts cf the country new operate In closest competition with the railway I1r.es. The first area to be affected by the strike. It Is believed, will be California, because employes of the Southern Pacific Une-s are to be the first to walk out. tentative plans of the railway brotherhoods at Chicago indicate. California, accord! nig to market sta- ; tlstlcs. though the first area to be affected will also be the least affected ' ef any area for California n rated as not dependent to any great extent on ;' Interstate shipments of foodstuffs, growing- enough staple products tD suffice Its own needs and as well sup- ' ply arras beyond her borders. Also, In California, the truck traffic la highly developed. Market reports on perishable foced- , etuff ior the week ending- Oct. 1 affords a safe premise from which to deduct the average length of time that the five great market centers New ; Tork, Chicago. Philadelphia and Bost ton could hold out against the demand for perishable foods. These cltlss consume an average total of 13,000,000 pounds of butter. 400.000 cases f eSSTS, Ave and a half million pounds cf dreased poultry and 5.000,000 pounds . cf cheese a weak. Nearly 3,000, COO pounds of butter. 2. 000. 000 pounds of 1 oheese and poultry and lhS.OOO cases of eggs are withdrawn from storage weekly to help meet the demand. E AT EAST CHICAGO Blue Eyed Babe is Returned To Mother's Arms This Morning. Little blue eyed baby "Wegg, of 403 Kennedy avenue. East Chicago, was kidnapped yesterday afternoon from her home by Ora Harris of 4409 Kennedy avenue, but returned to her mother's ai ms this morning when !t was proven to the city authorities that Vm. Wegg was the true father. It Is said that Ora Harris came to the Indiana Harbor police station last venlng carrying baby Wegg, telling the police Sergeant Makar that a strange woman had met her In the Central Drug store asking if she would hold her baby until she had returned from paying a telephone bill. Ora said that she had consented, but when the strange woman did not return after a lapse of three hours she had brought the child to the station. The true story of this case. Is that Ora Harris, who is said to be mentally Rffeeted, took the child from its cradle here it lay asleep, and then wandered around the streets of Indiana Harbor until tired herself, and not knowing: how to dispose of the child prize, camel to the police station where she toid her story. The child was taken to the Carmelite Orphanage last evening, but this morntg returned to Its proven parents.

M'KINLEY Six feet tall, with tousled head, bulldog Jaw and clenched first, William BMcKlnley, former Illinois senator, and now attorney business manager of the Associated Builders of Chicago, In bit ing, unambiguous phrases sketched the building controversy that has grown out of the Lar.dls agreement and told members of the Kiwanis Club before whom he spoke at the regular weekly luncheon of that organization today how they could help solve the gravest situation that has risen in the building world in recent years. That the question of wages was not the dominating difficulty that confront ed those Interested In affecting an ac ceptable agreement between the con tractors and unions was indicated, ac cording- to Mr. McKlnley by the fact that of the total three months spent by Judge Landls In drawing up the agreement only one day was spent In settling the wage scale. All of the rest of the time was consumed In eradicating clauses Injected by the unions during the war and which Mr. McKlnley referred to as "the most damnable provlsons ever entered Into between employer and employe." Article Three of the Eiffht Cardinal Principles upon which the strength of the building trades unions Is based was changed during the hectic war period to read, "There shall be no restriction upon any material except prison made and non-union made." The last two words have been since their adoption a continual source of graft for union officials, charged Mr. McKlnley, and are the basis for Indictments against more than 100 Chicago union officers. inw pending in the courts. Approximately 85 members of the Kiwanis Club were In attendance today. CITY CLERK ANNOUNCES OFFICIAL REGISTRATION Does Not Believe Number of Duplications Will Be Great. City Clerk Arnold Kunert today stated that the official registration for Hammond is 13,105. After this registration has been carefully checked and the duplications removed it will total about 13,000, Mr. Kunert approximated. "To my knowledge there are no first paper ves in the 13,105," said the city clerk. "A few may be discovered when we make a thorough check, but I doubt It very much." The record breaking registration shows the great interest that is being taken in the coming city election. Three weeks from today the ballots will be cast. Republican City Chairman Clyde Cleve land said that the heavy registration is decidedly in favor of his candidate. Dan Brown, and the republican ticket. Democrat Chairman Frank Martin makes the sa,me claim. Martin takes exception to the rumor that the democrats look upon Edward r.ggebrecht. candidate for council, as a weak candidate. ""We expect to elect our entire ticket and are working as hard for Eggebrecht as for any other candidate," said Martin. FOR RELIEVING THE A number of citizens who have al ready become interested in the famous Merrill System of building and opera ting apartment houses will meet this evening at 7:30 o'clock at the Hammond Chamber of Commerce room? where C. A. Taylor, of Hammond, will present the officers of the system. A number of interesting pictures will be shown of buildings which have been erected, under the plan In various cities of the United States and Canada. There are now Merrill System apartment buildings in Cleveland. Pittsburgh, Akron. Toronto. Montreal. Fort Wayne. Buffalo and various eastern cities. Under the plan the people of Hammond have an opportunity to stimulate business and relieve the housing situa tion and to own, and control a profitable real estate venture. The Merrill System is merely the plan of financing and construction while the ownership and operation remains with the people who co-operated In putting the plan over. The system has been explained to the heads of two Hammond banks and had gained their approval.

Both Sides Said To Be Seek ing A Basis of Compromise BT LUTHER A. HUSTON tSTAfr CORRESPONDENT I. N. SKRVi :tl CIIICAOO, Oct. 18 The nun of a pos sible compromise shone through the olouds of the railroad strike situation for tha first time this mornlni, indications were that events were movln toward adjustments that would avert the nation-wide tieup of rail traffic scheduled to begin orOcteber 80. Among; the foremost of these Indications was the expected arrival her today of R. M. Barton, chairman of tha United States Ballwa? Labor Board, tog-ether with other members cf tha public group of tha beard, fresh from conferences with President Hardlnr aat other hlth government officials In Washlnj-ton. No definite announcement of any plan of the rovernment to end the strike baa been made, tat the prediction was vouchsafed today that Chairman Barton would take action aooa after his arrival here toward an adjustment of the controversy. both seat coxraoxtn The impression waa prevalent today that both aides were seeking' a basis of compromise that would make possible a retirement from the definite positions already taken. It waa believed the railway Labor Board heads would seek to take advantare of this situation to bring about an agreement The possibility of a conference between rail chiefs and union leaders, under auspices of the labor board, was not discounted. Many of the union leaders have stat ed that a strike would be averted now If guarantees were given that there would be no further wage reductions. This is taken as an indication that the unions are willing- to "come half way" n the matter of an arreementThe railroads are understood to be .eekingr relief from the strain of the nanclal situation. If some way to aomplish this other than reduction of vages could be pointed out, it is beeved they would agree to the retenMon of existing wage scales. TKIONS FAOTOB TJNCIKTAIW The attitude of the unions affiliated .vith the American Federation cf Laor. as distinguished from the "Bigr L'our" Brotherhoods, reminded the unertain factor in the situation today. V series of conferences beginning today and continuing until Sunday will setle this issue. Frank suspicion of the chiefs of the rotherhoods is openly expressed by fficials of the federation unions aaembling here. These officials made it lain no action committinsr the feder ation unions to a definite strike nro;rram would be taken until the pur poses and methods of the brotherhoods were clearly understood. It was stated by B. M. Jewell, president of the railway employes department of the A. F. of L. however, that If the brotherhoods go out It will be impossible to hold the men cf the shop rafts and other federation unions In line. They may not join with the broherhoods in the actual conduct of tha strike, but they will strike, it was de clared. Even if they keep the machinery for conducting the strike entirely is their own hands. IGNOSXNO BB.OTJTEJLHOO'DS J. F. Smock, vice-president of ti. brotherhood of maintenance of way employes, declared today that any action toward a compromise made bv the "Big Four" brotherhoods, would not necessarily effect the federation unions. He emphasized the point already mads by other union leaders that the feder ation unions were "standing on their own feet" In the present crisis. The brotherhood of stationery fire men and oilers convened today. The first of the federation unions to hold meetings. The Brotherhood of Railway Clerks, freight handlers, express and station employes. Is scheduled to meet tomorrow. The Brotherhood of Railway Telegraphers and a half dozen other federation unions will hold meeting during this week. These meetings will decide the atti tude of the individual unions toward a strike. On Sunday a general meeting of the heads of the federation unions will be held at which the action taken by the individual unions will be poled This meeting, it is expected, will finally decide that the attitude of the federa tions unions is to be. GBOCr TH&XB SAMZD "With the roads included in group one and two of the "progressive" strike plans of the brotherhoods announced, the list of roads in group three also became known today.

Cincinnati. Chicago & St. Louis (Bif: Four). The only information concerning the fourth group yet made public is that it contains the entire Pennsylvania sys tem. The fact that the Pennsylvania in among the last of the roads to be affected by the strike has caused much comment among the federation union officials and is the cause of some dis satisfaction on the part of these of ficials with the strike plans of the brotherhoods.
