LOCAL SHIPPERS
To UNITE AGAINST
RATE INCREASE
Manufacturers and JobberS
Will Meet Wednesday Even
ing to Discuss Action
Against Proposed Car Spot
ting Charges.

Manufacturers and shippers OF
South Bend are confronted with an
additional cost OF operating OF from
few hundred to many thousands of
dollars each, and in the aggregate
over a half million dollars annually,
in freight charges if the interstate
commerce commission allows the tar
ifs now being filed to go into effect
making a definite charge of perhaps
81 for each for spotting ears.
To consider definite plans for OPP
posing this freight increase a meeting
has been called by the manufacturers
and jobbers' bureau Of the Chamber
of Commerce for Wednesday night at
S o'clock in the auditorium on second
floor OF the j. NJ. $ building.
The proposition is such in this car
spOtting case that it is necessary for
each individual industry or shipper
to make up il own protest" explain
ed Secretary Spaulding of the cham
ber. This should contain an anal
yss of his plant or warehouse lOca-
ton and a brief of facts and conclu-
sions to be filed with the commission.
IL will be far less expensive for all
shippers TO Join in this movement
and at the same time more effective
to have this city as a whole repre-
scented before the commission and it
is hoped that a definite plan to handle
the matter can be worked out by
those who attend this meeting. Ship
pers who do not protest this rate are
almost sure TO be saddled with a per
manent burden in this charge for
spOtting service. which il has been
held by some interests does not prop
er,v come within the province of the
commission"
To Consider Bureau.
The Wednesday night meeting will
not be confined TO the discussion of
the car spotting question but will al
so consider the proposition to at once
establish a freight traffic bureau
convention next month and the feast
bi!ity of arranging for a permanent
exhibition Of manufactured products
of the South Bend district in a cen
trail location in the down town dis
tIict.
Some of our manufacturers are
particularly interested in the extern
sion of their foreign trade. more es-
pecially in South America. and the
plan 10 invite John T Lanfestey of
Chicago. who recently investigated

Chamber of Commerce OF the United
States TO address our manufacturers

cussed" said Mr.. Spaulding 1t is al
so understood that Secretary Redfield
OF the department OF commerce is
ready TO come here and discuss the
same subject at some convenient
time
"It is hoped that the meeting will
have a full attendance Wednesday
night AS the combined strength of the
shippers and jobbers Of this district
is sufficient to command respect and
assure just treatment in all matters

New York, Aug. 4.-Although the

measures taken yesterday TO meet
the extraordinary war situation, little
progress was made toward resump-
ton of the Interchange of credits and
commodities between the old world

With immediate financial necessi-
ties met, Wall Street turned to the
general trade problem-mOre intri-
cate than any other that has con.
fronted the country for century.
Before this problem was solved it was
recognized the consequences might
be fe!t seriously throughout the ma
tion.
The greater part of the import
trade from Europe already has been
cut by the seizure of railways in
France and Germany for military pur-
poses, and the holding in port Of
transatlantic vessels. Merchandise
importation mere from France and
Germany alone average $L000,000
daily.
Export trade presented still
larger problem. American exports to
Europe under normal conditions av-
erage s4,000,000 daily, nearly one
third of which is for France and Ger
many direct Al of this trade for
the moment is blocked. The remain
der also is halted by the absence Of
facilities for financing the export
movement
Stoppage Of foreign trade already
has been reflected by the piling up

have begun to feel the situation and

Joe Robinson. said to be bad mig
ger from Malvern, with record for
rough house work, visited a negro
picnic at the Upper Bridge yesterday
afternoon. armed with quart OF
whiskey, a loaded forty-five revolver
and murderous knife. He started
something almost as soon as he ar
rived, and before he had finished his
rampage five negroes were either SER
lously shot, cut or beaten. Robinson
made his escape to the city.
The story of the atfray as told by
eye witnesses is to the effect that
Robinson came to the picnic under
the influence of liquor and armed to
the teeth. He treated the must
clans to a drink from a quart bottle

About this time Robinson whipped
out his forty-five revolver aud began
shooting. As nearly as could he
learned only one negro was hit by a
bullet. Jim Peppers suffered scalp
bullet wound and also some serious
abraisions with a whiskey bottle.
Finding his knife more deadly than
the revolver Robinson then turned on
Bert Thomas, saloon porter and
cut his throat from ear TO ear. Earnest

about the head in tthe melee. making
a total OF five victims of the varied
artillery of the drink crazed black.
OF the five who were injured, Bert
Thomas is the most serious. 1t is
doubtful if he will recover Hear and
his wife are both seriously injured
about the head, the woman being
slashed on the arm and otherwise in

hurt in the murderous fusilade of bull
let's which Robinson turned loose in
the crowd is mystery. So far as
could be earned he only hit one hi
man target with five cartridges used.
All the injured were hurried to tae
city where they received medical az

Robinson made his escape from the
picnic in buggy which he comman-
