Harry C. Niles, president of the
South Bend Wooden Co. is in Chicago
today to close contracts with several
countries at present engaged in the
European war for the provision Of
blankets and other articles manufaC-
tured by the local plant.
The deal was started some time ago
when commissioners from the various
countries investigated the local com
pany's facilities. Just what American
firms are representing the interests Of
the foreign powers in the proposed
contracts are unknown at present
The contract which is not yet closed
is said TO Ia one of the largest ever
undertaken by a local plant
England. France. Russia and other
countries at present engaged in the
war are said TO have had representa-
ton in America toward the fulfilling
of such q contract. The fact that IN
most of the countries suffering from
the ravaging effects OF the strife the
mills have been closed down, and in
some portions OF Europe, totally de-
sivoyed. has hampered several OF the
powers in the equipment OF their re-
speCtive armies.

County Agent Bordner is also feel
ing the effect Of the partial granting

opportunity to devote his attention
10 other phases of the epidemic. Dur
ing the past 10 days he has hardly
had time TO get away from his office,

WATERWAY MAN ASSAILS
COMMERCE COMMISSION
Speaker Declares Federal Body Seeks
TO Smother Development OF
Water Routes.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1S.-That the in
terstate commerce commission is in
league with the railroads to smother
waterway development. was the
charge launched before the great
lakes waterways conference meeting
here.
The interstate commerce commits
sion has consistently permitted the
railroads to cut rates to meet water
competition and charge higher rates
between inland cities 10 make up the
difference" declared Henry W. Lee,
consulting engineer for the greater
Chicago federation At last nights
meeting of the conference. The rates
from seacOast points to Los Angeles
are an example. This cutting of rates
for cities with harbOrs has driven
ships off the rivers. The commission
should compel the railroads to charge
the same rates all over the country.
Then we should see a revival Of river
shipping"
