All efforts of the transport works® federation to find a bridge to enable a renewal of negotiations be- tween the government and the National Union Railwaymen failed. The zovernment's proposal for a even days' truce for the rail men to return to work and permit resumption of negotiations on the disputed points | coupled with the offer by the govern- ment to resort to arbitration in the event of failure to reach an agree- ment, has been rejected by the rail- waymen’s union, and the whole possi- bility of mediation for the moment| scem to have completely passed. i An appeal has been made by the government for a citizen army to pro- tect peaceable citizens and to aid in the work of maintaining the supply of food.

Race Rioting Now |CauseOfAndRemedy For High Cost Living Statement Issued By Council of National Defense—Rem- edy: Work, Save, Co-oper- ate, Produce. Washington, Oct. 3.—The following statement issued after long and careful comsideration by all of the members of the council of national de- fence, is made public as the first step in an educational campaign which the council is undertaking in connection with the high cost of living: _To the Public: The” United States Council of National- Defense, com- posed of the secretaries of war, navy, interior, agriculture, commerce, andi labor. has made a careful investiga- tion of the high-cost-of-living prob- lem, and finds: That the nation's productive powers have not been fully utilized since the armistice. That 0o few goods. notably the nec- essities of life, have been produced, and that even some of these zoods have been withheld from the market, and therefore from the people. That the high cost of living in part to unavoidable war- increase of money and cvedit. That tiere has been and is cons erable profiteering, intentional and unintentional. e council believes thai the rem- the sitcation are: To produce more goods, and to pe duce them in proportion to the needs of_the people. To stamp out profirecring and stop unnecessa -y hoarding. To enforce vigorously present laws ang prompily to enzet such turther laws as are necessa.s tc prevent and punish profitecring anl necdless hoarding. To bring aboi: baitsr cooperation and method in dictrivating and ar- keting goods. To keep both producer ani consumer fully informed as to what goods =re needed and as to what supidies arc available, so that production may an- ticipate the country’s demands Goods and not money are the means of life. Better standards of living are impossible without producinz more goods. Men cannot consume what has not been produced. —.the war's and our allies had d. perate meed of the essentials of life. We have had to share our resources with them, but this drain will grad- uaily lessen. In so far as our short- age of goods is due to this cause we can well afford {o be patient Tt is just as essential that we have patience with ‘the cconomic situation here at home. The process of produc. tion recuires time. If production rapidly increased, vast improved conditions will prevail in America when_the results of present and fu- ture labor begin to appear. Team work is imperative. It is just as_essential bétween retailer. whole- saler. “and ugoducer. as it Is between employer and employee. One groun of producers cannot wait on another group, The manufacturer, the farmer, the distributor must each immediately assume his part of the burden and enter upon his task. The nation can- not_afford curtailment of goods vital to the people. On American business rests a grave responsibility for efficient cooperation in bringing about full and proportion- ate production. On American labor rests an equally grave responsibility to attain maximum unit production and maintain uninterrunted distribu- tion of goods if labor itself is not to uffer from further rises in the cost of living. The entire nation—yroducer, distri- butor, and consumer _should re- turn to_the unity that won the Group interest and undue personal gain must give way to the good of the whole nation if the situation is to be squarely met.
