would stop all commerce to and from

UNPLEASANTNESS OF

- AssocIArrD rREss.

New York, Oct. 2.-The danger of
an immediate break between the
United States and Germany over TOR
pedoing the Arabic was ayerted by
assurances contained in a note re
ceived personally here by Secretary
Lansing from German Ambassador
Bernstorff.
While neither will make statement
it is the prevalent view that Germany
has admitted the error of her subma-
rine commander in thinking the Ara
bic was about to ram the submarine,
but wished to arbitrate the extent
which Germany is liable under the
circumstances for the mistake.
This is believed because the United
States made it clear Informally to
Bernstorff that a disavowal of the
sinking of the Arabic was absolutely
necessary before there could be any
further negotiations, although moth
ing indicates the new note meets en-
tirely the viewpoint of the United
States.

ROCKEFELLER PRESENTS. PLAN
TO SETTLE COLORADO STRIFE
Agrees to Sign Contract Not
to Discriminate Against
Union Miners.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Pueblo, Colo, Oct. 2.-Collective
bargaining is. insured by a contract
signed for term of years is prom
ised by John D.. Rockefeller, Jr., to-
day to employees of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Company This is embodied
in the industrial plan submitted BY
Rockefeller at meeting of officers
of the company and the grievance rep
resentatives of the various coal camps.
This carries guarantee against dis
elimination of any union member, but
does not provide for recognition of
the united mine workers of America
The proposition provides that the
miners of each camp elect represent
atives on the basis of one for every
one hundred and fifty workers, and
each camp is entitled TO at least two.
For mediation the company's camps
will be divided into five districts and
for a settlement of disputes district
conferences will be held attended by
the workers representatives and the
company offers. Employees will be
given the right to hold meetings and
buy supplies where they please. The
announcement of the plan is looked
upon as Rockefeller's answer to the
demand of the United Mine Workers.
The plan will be submitted to the
fuel company's directors meeting at
Denver Monday and to the miners for
referendum vote, the miners dele
gates having endorsed it unanimous
ly.
John R. Lawson, board member
of the United Mine Workers, in jail
at Trinidad, said tonight the plan is
not practical.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Oct. "A SEN
sation was created here today by the
arrest of T. G. Betterton, general
manager, secretary and treasurer of
the Tennessee Coffin & Casket Com
pany and police commissioner of
Chattanooga, charging him with vio-
lating the penal code of the United
States in his capacity as head of the
Coffin Company by shipping whiskey
to customers all over this territory
enclosed in caskets sent out from his
factory. The technical charge is vio-
lation of section 240 of the penal code,
which provides that all packages for
shipment shall be properly labeled
showing contents. Warrants were
also served on T. L. Mylas, superin-
tendent and Frank T. Fox, packer of
the factory. The investigation of
these charges was made by a special
agent of the department of justice of
the United States. It seems that the
Tennessee Coffin & Casket Company is
charged with making custom of en-
closing bottles of whiskey in caskets
shipped to customers throu ghout this
territory as lagniappe for their pur-
chases of collins. All three men gave
