Lack of box car equipment In the producing States and Its accumulation in the East Is declared to.be responsi ble for this startling situation. Eleva tors, gralnerlcs and farmers' bins are bulging with last year's wheat crop throughout the entire Mississippi Val 'ey, live stock is not being shipped, and potatoes are rotting in cellars at a time when the prices of all these arti cles are going up to a degree hitherto unknown. The appeal to the I. C. C. for a rem edy was made by representatives of rail way nnd warehouse commissions, mil ler. bankers, representatives of far mers associations and various other' In terests from States like Minnesota, Illi nois, North Dakota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Wisconsin 'and other States-Tlie-appeal was mad as the result of a conference which haq" been going on here for several days among repre sentatives of these Interests and was voiced byJ3.F. Ewe of. the' Minneapolis,, CaambeFoT Commerce, who was named chairman a committee appointed for that purpose! The committee appeared earlier in the day before the House Com mittee on Interstate Commerce. There are two objects In view one to remedy the immediate situation and the other to secure additional legislation which will make it possible for the railways to recoup their equipment. Millions la Wheat Held. Explaining the crlstf which confront the entire country oa a result of this un paralleled situation. It was pointed out by Mr. Ewe and his committee that In Minnesota alone 17,000.1)00 bushels ofv wheat sold many months ago are In the Minneapolis elevators; 35,000,000 bush els In the country elevators and almost as much more In the tamers' bins.. In Kansas It is pointed out. that 31,4 6.000, 000 worth of grain Is held up by Un enforced embargo. In order to meet the financial needs of the situation, the Fed eral Reserve Bank at Minneapolis, which had $2,000,000 in loans outstand ing a year ago, now holds' paper approx imating !S,000,000. Reports from' the Federal Reserve Bank at Kansas City were of a similar tenor, This wheat Is last year's crop, and the banks cannot collect their money un til It Is moved. It Is now only thirty days before the new Southern wheat crop comes in and only ninety, days be fore the Northern crop la harvested. Unit-. Immediate relief la discovered the ttnka face a serious situation, and pro duction, which Is already threatened, U1 be seriously Impaired. Business men. of the Mississippi Valley say they see no way In sight to finance next year's crop. The effect ofth!e sltuaUon upon the high coat of living was clearly demon strated. In addition to the high prices resulting from the scarcity of food prod ucts In the East the Eastern purchaser must pay the Interest charges incurred In the handling of this immense storage of grain, which are sometimes paid two nd three times; roust also payjexces i live Insurance charges and the cost of ' Ktftr, am TV,. Mi,Aa .Inn, ft la fiflti- mated, are frequently double the profits which would ordinarily be received by the dealer. Live stock oaa meat prod ucts are affected in the Borne manner, resulting in both a scarcity of meats la the East and exorbitant prices. ' Aik Order to Hetun Cars. The immediate remedy which tbe Hls iltslppl Valley oaks is on order by the I C. C. compelling Eastern roods to return box cars to Western lines, even If they have to be hauled back empty.

Formal demands for a 50 per cent, increase in wages, a 44 hour week and recognition of tho union were presented to agents of all the textile mills in Lawrence to-day by tho local Council of Amalgamated Textile Workers of America. Stationary 'engineers em ployed in the mills hero voted to night to go on strike to-morrow because the larger mills had ignored their recent demands for increased wages and shorter working hours. Mill men said the plants would' not be crippled immediately, as under the law they may operate for a limited time with unlicensed engineers, whom they expect to be able to obtain. TRUCK DRIVERS GET ULTIMATUM Movo Goods, Union or Non union, Regardless of Strikes, Say Merchants. THREAT TO IMPORT MEN Four Powerful Trado Bodies Join to End Tieup Costing City $1,000,000 a Day. The six most powerful organiza tions of merchants-in this city com bined yesterday In an ultimatum to the truck drivers' unions, demanding that the truckmen agree to move goods, whether union or non-union, regardless of rail or dock; strikes, or else face the consequences of having Independent trucks and drivers brought In to smash the freight' tleup. The notice was served in the form of a resolution adopted unanimously by tho Merchants Association, Cham ber ot Commerce of the State of New York, Brook'o'n Chamber of Commerce, New York Board brTradfand' Trans' portation, Chamber of Commerce of Queens and the Bronx Board of Trade. The organisation's .resources - are pledged to support a committee to, be appointed to-day by Alfred E. Marling, president of the Chamber ot Commerce. The resolution, after commenting on the effect of the drivers' action and the seriousness ot (he situation, states: "All points for the receipt or delivery ot goods, whether manned by union men or nan-union men, and regardless of whether they are suffering from strikes or lockouts, and all .goods, whether ot union or non-union origin, must receive Impartial service from those engaged in the movement or transportation of mer chandise. "In view of the public distress which has arisen out of the present emergency, we, as representative merchants, feel compelled to agree that we will employ only such truckmen, teamsters and trucking contractors as will carry out the tetter and spirit' of their resolution and render Impartial service for the ben efit of the public." J. C. -Lincoln, manager of the traffic -bureau of the Merchants Association, said the truckmen's refusal to haul goods from piers affected by the recent railway 'strike had paralyzed local com merce. The truckmen themselves are not on strike, but they have tied up more than GO per cent, of the shipments of freight to the city' and this condition is costing business men, by conservative estimate, more than $1,000,000 a day. G. W Daniels, vice-president of the United States Trucking Corporation, the largest la the city, admitted the situation was bad, with most of his 3,200 men Idle. In regard to the merchants' threat to employ non-union truckmen, he was non committal, but remarked that It had been tried before and failed.

Simultaneously It was announced that tho strike of the com pany's employees, in effect since April 27, woe ended, and that tho men would return to work this morning. In creases in pay were granted them. Tho news that Commissioner Nixon had ordered the raise In fare was ac cepted as an Indication that a prece dent for the Increased fare hod been established for all the street railway lines In the city and that a flgnt be tween Mayor Hylan on ono side and tho railway officials on the other is imminent. . It was roported enrly to-day that the Mayor wiiild take the matter Into the courts Immediately and seek by moans of an Injunction to prevent tbe carrying out of the Nixon order. Nettled by Intermediation. A statement Issued from Commissioner Nixon's office last night explained that the strike on Qie Richmond Light nnd Railroad lines hnd heencttlcd largely through his Intermediation. The settlement of the strike was an nounced following a meeting between a committee of strikers nnd John J. Kuhn. receiver for the road. The men gained 33 1-3 per cent Increase, the new wage rate being sixty cents an hour for a ten hour day. The old rate was forty-flvo cents. The statement from Commissioner Nixon's .office explained how the settle ment was reached and then went Into detail to show why the Increased fare wan necessary. "In order to effect tho settlement," the statement read, "It was found neces sary to make a sllgnt Increase In the fares charged one class of passengers, while, however, there will be a reduction In another ' class 6f fares. Receiver Kuhn. 'In his conferences with Commis sioner Nixon, Insisted that a flat eight cent fare was necessary. On no other condition, ho asserted, could funds enoiigh be obtained to assure the con tinuous operation of the road. The In crease In wases would cost the road more than 1130.000, an amount which, he asserted, could only he obtained by an Increase In fare.

BLOW TO LEAGUE IS 'INFANTICIDE' 'Westminster Gazette's' Edi torial So Comments on Council's Treatment. FREE SWING FOR POLAND Premiers' Refusal to Invoke Peace Making Machinery Declared Unselfish. Sptetal Cable Deipqtch to Tna Sex axb Nrw Yoke: Ribald. Copyright, MM. bv Tat Srrf and Naw Yonx HshaM). London, May !. "Infanticide" Is the heading of the IVratmlnsfer Qazette'a leading editorini to-night commenting on tho Supreme Council's treatment of the League of Nations. The day's developments with regard to tho Spa and tho Brussels confer ences not only seem to bear out the use of the term, but appear to Justify It, as against the criticism in America ot the league and of the Supreme Council as constituting a super-state, The correspondent of Tub Sun and New York Herald learns that although elaborate and Important studies of the German and European economic situa tions have been prepared by the Brit ish Foreign Office and the Teasury, the league, which has barely begun to function, Was not consulted in connec tion with their formation. At the same time, the Premiers refuse to Invoke the peace making machinery of the league in connection with theT fighting between Poland and Russia. Unofficially, the refusal to direct these league functions tc making peaco be tween the Poles and the Bolahevlki was ascribed to the fact that the Poles were succeeding In their war against the Red menace and that allied Interests were with them. However, it is admitted by many of the critics of the Supreme Council that the Premiers are not working to achtove any selfish ends and desire only the healtfiy reconstruction or all Europe. They declare that It Is for this simple reason that the Premiers are Ignoring the sacrosanct machinery of the league, which at Its birth was endowed by a fairy godfather whoever he was with near supernatural powers. Friends of the league, on the other hand, assert that this is not the fault of the league Itself. They declare that tho fault Is with the Premiers. Great Britain has not yet a perma nent official representative on the league council. Arthur J. Balfour will go. to Brussels as a "pinch hitter." Lord Robert Cecil is nearly always at the leagub offices here, but Is without au thority there, nnd It Is whispered that however much he would llko such au thority his well known dissonance with many of the policies of the Lloyd George Government makes his appointment Im possible. , , The situation' regarding the British appointee to the council of the league aptly Illustrates, the fundamental diffi culties of the league scheme as were brought out in the Senate debate. U. S. FLEET HELD HERE AS A RESERVE IN WAR Benson Says Allies Feared Germans Might Escape. Special to Tni SCN and Nr.w Yoik IIksald. Washinoton, May 6. American bat tleships were kept on this side of the Atlantic during the war as a reserve force In behalf of the Allies in the event that tho German fleet should escape from its haso and reach the high neas despite ttie British blockade. This pol icy wns agreed among the Allies nnd fully understood by Great Britain. This was the statement to-day of Ad miral William S. Benson, retired, before the Senate sub-committee on Naval Af fairs that Is investigating the charges of Rear Admiral Sims. Admiral Benson was chief of naval operations at the Navy Department during the war. "It would have been ill-ad vised to send battleships to the other side unless absolutely necessary," Admiral Benson declared. "The object In keeping the fleet on this side was not to defend the coast from attack, but to hold In 're serve a force that could meet the, Ger man fleet In case It broke through snd drove the British from tho sens."

SEVERE ON PRESIDENT Argues War Was Against Kaiser's Government; That Ended, Peace Ensued. FOR vWORLD AGREEMENT Says Lodge Reservations Don't Assure but Threaten Peace of Nations. Special to Tnt 8cn and Sew Yokk Heaid. Washinoton, May 5. In a forceful, c'osely knit, analytical speech to-day Senator Knox (Pa.) opened the fight In' tho Senate for his resolution to de clare pence with Germany and Austria without regard to tho League of Na tions He declared that tho power of Congress to make peace by legislation Is indubitable, as Congress is the only authority that can declare war and of course possesses tho power to unmake that which it can make. Ho argued that the" peaco treaty has In fact already made peace, for it pro vided hat peace should be In effect from' tho deposit of the proces verbal, which occurred in January lost. That net under the treaty's terms made peace on behalf of alV tho signatories of that treaty, he said, regardless of whether it has been finally ratified oi not by a partlculnr Power. Mr. Knox had the close attention of almost the entire 'Republican' member ship of the Senate. Only about one fourth of tho Democrats were 4n their seats, though tho number Included Sena tors Hitchcock (Neb.), Robinson (Ark.) and Underwood (Ala.), who' are looked upon as likely, with Senator Walsh (Mont.) to bear the chief part in mak ing reply to the Knox argument. Therb was also a well Oiled gallery for the first time since the defeat ot tho treaty. Scores President's Coarse. Senator Knox dealt In severest terms with President Wilson. But he said he entertained only sympathy for" the Presi dent In his illness, and sympathy (or the country which must suffer under him because of It. "But when danger threatens the na tion 'It must be met forefronted, and he who Intervenes against the safe and wise course must step aside or be crushed," he declared impressively. Senator Knox adopted his own dictum and met forefronted the argument that the Constitution would be violated If Congress assumed to establish peace, He declared with Intense earnestness that. In fact, the President by hls whole course in dealing with foreign relations since the war's end has paid attention to "constitutional order, lawful func tions, rights and duties of positions, oaths of office as affecting the members of the Senate" In such manner as "only to bring them into contempt." "He has conjured up every power within the whole Executive domalin In his effort to compel the Senate to sur render Its will and judgment to him, to become mere automatons to register his mandate, to approve this, treaty In Its last fnlnutue ot detail as he sent it to us," said the PcnnayVvanlan. With this excoriation of tho Presi dent's condlict he proceeded to consider the legal aspects of peace making. He showed by authoritative definitions that war Is the state of actual, existent hos tilities. These haye ended nnd therefore war In fact does not actually exist, he said. War may be ended, he said, bj the abstention of both parties from fur ther acts of war; or by the establish ment pf peace; or by reason of ono com batant completely subjugating the other. War has ended by mere cessation of fighting In many cases, a number of which Senator Knox cited. Hostilities Ceased With Armistice. In the case of the Untyed States and Germany, he pointed out hostilities ceased with the armistice. For a year and a half no shot has been fired, no hostile act committed. Peace actually reigns. , But that Is not all. The United States went to war against the Imperial Ger man Government; not against the nation or people of Germany, said. Senator Knox. That was specifically stated In the resolution declaring war. Now that Government has ceased to exist War against It cannot bo continued. And tho same Is true ot the Imperial and Royat Austro-Hungarlan Government Examining next the armistice terms Senator Knox declared It was "an ar mistice In name only"; It was really the surrender of a completely defeated na tion. - x .In closing his address Senator Knox again presented his own plan for a re adjustment of the world and the pres. ervatlon of peace, declaring that the Peace Conference should have confined Ita activities to making peace and then as soon as world conditions permitted, participation therein by all peoples.

Wood's plurality In Indiana, wliero Senator Johnson, Gov. Lowden (III.) and Senator Harding (Ohio) ran sec ond, third and fourth respectively In yesterday's primary elections, have thrown new light upon the Itepubllca'n Presidential race. To-nlglit political leaders are 'summing up the situation about ns follows: Senntor Harding and Mr. Hoover have been virtually eliminated as possibilities. Having failed to get u solid delegation from his homo State, Senator Harding has mado the poorest showing of all the other candidates In the adjacent State of lmllnun, after having nowhere elso figured seriously In tho primary re sults. Mr. Hoovfcr hns lost hla borne State In a greater defeat than even his opponents dared to hope. Gen. W.ood, Senator Johnson and Gov.

Only by combinations among themselves, or with uninstructed delegations, t can any ono of tho three bopo to win. Chance for Dark Horse. .. The chance for the nomination of a "dark horse" "lias been greatly Increased, for the simple reason that none of the early leaders has been killed off by tho various pri mary results or Is left strong1 enough to precipitate n real dead lock.

It wasf observed to-day that, whether ho likes it or not, the prominence suddenly given to him as a Presidential possi bility has placed In his possession aa authority that he could not possibly have foreseen. If he wants to make the run for President he immediately will got Pennsylvania's delegation and nn Important placo In tho race, with prospects of a great support com ing to him from New York, Massa chusetts, Connecticut and other quar. ters. If he decides that he does not want to maite the race, then his coun sels as to the nominee will bo of tho greatest importance. It was common ly remarked to-day that If ho and Senator Johnson should be willing to eliminate themselves and get together they could nominate almost anybody, they agreed upon. Frank Dlacnialon Forecast. But of such a combination there Is no sign. It was declared that within tho next day or two a frank discussion of the situation will be held between Sena tors Knox and Joh'nson, possibly with some of their close friends bartldipatlng, and that this will go far to dotermlne the dlrecton of the pre-conventon fight henceforward. The Johnson people pro fess to be certain that Knox's Influence will Insure an absolutely square deal for Johnson In the convention, whether Knox Is a candidate or no. The returns from California and In diana were tho. chief subject of dis cussion at the1 Capitol. Indiana sur prised few; Its results represent a me dium between the extreme claims of the Wood and Johnson managements. Sena tors Kcnyon (Iowa) and Norrls (Neb.), who campaigned Indiana for Senator Johnson, expressed Surprise at the pro portion of votes which Johnson obtained In view of the casual sort of camna'n made In his behalf. They said .ere was almost no organization because there was neither time nor money to make It: yet Senator Johnson almost Mart eni'allod the Wood vote, which res resented the extreme efforts of the pow erful, well funded State organization. The Johnson managers pointed out also that .under the Indiana system Senator Johnson still stands an excel lent chance of getting a good proportion of tho delegates to the national conven ton.
