"Acting epon the express d.aire of the presi dent and Mrs. Wilson. Secretary Tu multy today made public a statement containing an ltemlsel list of pres ents received by them while in Eu- lone. Mr. Tumulty's statement follows: ,- "While on his western trip the president's attention was called to the resolution of Representative Ro senberg of Illinois and the state ments of Senators Penrose and Sher man In regard to gifts received by the president and Mrs. Wilson while .they were In Europe. ' Senator Sherman indicated the ba sis of the various stories touching this matter when he said that cloak room gossip laid the values of these gl'ts at half a million dollars. "Here are the facts: Outside or a considerable number of small gifts. such as books, walking sticks, an old silver dish found In the ruins of Lou vain, war souvenirs made by soldiers out of war material and numerous medals struck off In his honor, the following are the only important gifts received by the president in Europe: Preclewa List DUcleaed. "In England: Photograph of the king and Queen of England. "A book relating to Windsor castle. "The freedom of the city of Lon don, presented in a gold casket by the lord mayor at Guildhall.

"The president also received no . rnerous degrees from nearly all of the countries of Europe and many reso lutions of respect and gratitude. I "Knowing that there is a constitu tional Inhibition against the presi ' dent receiving gifts from foreign rul ers or states, the president, after con sulting the secretary of state, was preparing a list of the presents he In tended to ask the permission of con gress to retain. Just before be started . on his western trip. "In addition to the gifts received by the president, the following tok ens were presented to Mrs. Wilson while sha was In Europe: "In France: "A pin of Parirlan enamel with tiny diamond chips, presented In. .the Hotel - de Ville by the city of Tarts.

Because our country Is so vast, the great majority of people In Philadel phia. New York. Chicago, Detroit. Minneapolis. Seattle, Atlanta.

Industry Is not. Business is not. Life Is not. Everything Is abnormal. We are dealing with an abnormal country, i These are abnormal times. nhat are some of the facts regard ing conditions in the United States today? I found that conditions vary In dif ferent states, cities and districts. In the Industrial communities of Chici go. Detroit. Cleveland, Youngstown. Pueblo, Los Angeles, Seattle and Minneapolis there Is wide spread Industrial dissatisfaction and social unrest. While it was man! rested at first among the foreign ele ments of the population. It Is today by no means confined to aliens or those of alien descent. In every Industrial center I visited. both large and small. I found this discontent. The little, progressive manufacturing city of Richmond, Ind. the "uuaker City of the West, showed the same symptoms of unrest as were evident in Cleveland; Belle ville. 111., another small factory and mining town, was not very different from Chicago or Birmingham. Still, there are very few foreigners in Richmond, and S3 per cent of the In habitants of Belleville own their own homes. Improvement Continues. iQUIET STILL INSISTED.

Mr. Johnston and his assistants said: "The chief basis for Mr. Hughes' conclusion Is the proposition thjit the shipper cannot be required to pay anything more than is reason- ble for each service and that his I payment of the established rate, with out right to reparation, conclusively and finally establishes the right of the carrier to retain the sum thus paid. We find nothing in the con stitution to Justify that conclusion. "Our conclusion is that the prin ciple of grouping carriers into com petitive areas for the purpose of rate making, accompanied by appro priate measures for the regulation of excess earnings is clearly within the power of congress and one of the criticisms directed against the proc ess or criticising the provisions of the original draft of the Cummins bill disposes us In any wa to qual ify our conclusions." 12,1 DATA OX EARNINGS ARE SOW .

After an investigation of Cue high cost of liv ing problem, the. council of national defense finds: That the nation's productive powers have not been fully utilized since the armistice. That too few goods, notably the ne cessities of life, have been produced and that even some of these goods have been withheld from the market and therefore from the people. That the high cost of living is due in part to unavoidable war waste and increase of money and credit. That there has been and is consid erable profiteering, intentional and unintentional. The council believes that the rem edies for the situation are: To produce more goods and to pro duce them in proportion to the needs of the people. To stamp out profiteering and stop unnecessary hoarding. To enforce vigorously present laws and promptly to enact such further laws as are necessary to prevent and punish profiteering and needless hoarding. To bring about better co-operation and method in distributing and mar keting goods. To keep both producer and con sumer fully informed as to what goods are needed and as to what sup plies are available, so that produc tion may anticipate the country's de mands. The council is composed of Secre- torles Baker. Daniels, Lane, Houston. Redfield and Wilson, and Grover B. Clarkson, as director. ORBGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, Oct. t. How many women are gainfully employed in the United States? This is the question which Mary Anderson, chief of the women's bu reau of the department of labor, is seeking to have answered by a call which she has sent out to all state departments of labor. Miss Ander son asks the aid of the states in mak ing a survey of these working women in the United States who are sup porting dependents and the average weekly salary of such women. This material is being gathered for use at the international congress of workingwomen, called by the Na tional Women's Trade Union League of America for October 23 and at the international labor conference, Oc tober 29, when the problem of the women wage earner with dependents will receive special consideration. Miss Anderson, as secretary of the committee on international relations of the women's trade union league, is secretary of the committee on ar rangements for the International con gress of working women. Miss Anderson's letter to the-state industrial commissioners says that "the war has forced to the attention of all many important facts relative to- conditions of employment as well : as the status in general of the 12.- 000.000 or more women employed in , gainful occupations in our country. . One of these facts is that a large per- , centage of the women wage earners have received a wage based upon old traditions that women have not the same family responsibility that men have. "A recent survey In one of our. states, brought out the fact that 3779 women were supporting 7206 children ' under the age of 16 years. The re port has not been completed, but 71.4 per cent of 51,361 wage earning wom en were receiving less than J14 a week."
