So blest that none may grieve.

With portals spread a]ar,
And loving friends-their old messmates-

men in official circles held it was like
ly the administration might yet be
compelled to consider what the Amer
lean cotton growers have all along
been demanding-an embargo against
any and all American shipments to
the allies in retaliation for the order

Such an embargo, 1t was admitted,
would be bad thing for the United
States as well as for the allies, but
those who suggested it expressed the
view that it was practically the only
weapon the Washington government
has in this particular case and that
if the allies, particularly the British
stick TO the order in council, some
sort of weapon will have to be used.
In many quarters it was believed

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-The far
ther the United States gets away
from trouble with Germany the nearer
she approaches to friction with Great
Britain, diplomats here were saying
today.
Nobody believed the impending
Anglo-American controversy would
result in a severance of relations, not
to mention war, as it was feared the
German-Ameriean difference of opin-
ion might do, but it was the opinion
that the argument with the British
would be very hard settle never
1t was agreed on all sides that one
of the first things the administration
will be bound to do after Germany
has met Americas wishes relative to
the submarine warfare complication,
win be to act energetically in the
matter of British interference with
American shipping on the high seas.
OF only, it was pointed out, will

1914, and over $4,000 worth of them
represent merchandise claims which
are not secured. There are 150 credit
ors from whom Throckmorton pur-
chased machinery, paper and various
goods of equipment.

ENGLAND SENDS
S44,OOO,OOO TO
AID CREDIT HERE
Treasure Train Passes Through
Maine on Way to New
York.

VANCEBORO, Me-, Aug. 2S.-The
second large shipment this month of
gold and securities from London to
New York passed through here to-
day on a special train. 1t was said
here that IL consisted of bonds to the
value of s25, 900 and $19,000,000 in
gold.
The gold and securities are being
forwarded to strengthen British credit
in this country and to arrest the de-
cline in value of the pound sterling.
They were placed on a heavily guard
ed train at Halifax, where, 1t was
understood, they had arrived on a
British battleship, guarded by a con-
voy of smaller craft. The train was
made UP of six steel express cars, a
dining car and coach, and carried
thirty -eight express guards. The ship
ment was being forwarded by an ex-
press company, in much the same
manner as was the first consignment
early in August, when $52,000,000 in
gold and securities were sent from
London and deposited in the sub
treasury in New York to the account
of J. p. Morgan & Co, the fiscal
agents of the British government.
After very brief stop here to per-
NIT change of engines the train left
at o'clock for Bangor and Portland
on it's way to New York.

GENERAL STRIKE
Of CARPENTERS
IS THREATENED
About 1900 Men May Cease
Work Wednesday Unless De-
mands Are Granted.

A general walkout of the carpenters
who are members of the various locals
in Newark District Council of Car
penters is planned for next Wednes-
day unless the demands made by the
union on May ! for an increase in
wages from 81 to $3.50 per day and
double pay for all overtime are
granted.
There are about 1900 members of
the fourteen locals in the Newark
district, which includes this city, Har-
rison, Kearny and the Oranges, who
will be affected by the strike.
All members of the union have been
notified to be present at O. meeting
of the district council. which will be
held on Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock
at 66 South Orange avenue, when in
structions will be given concerning
the calling of the strike.
The carpenters made their demands
for the wage increase on May 1, when
the yearly agreement which they had
with the local contractors expired
Since that time a number offconfer-
ences have been held by the union
officers and contractors but they have
been unable to reach any kind of an
agreement. Finally the negotiations
which were being carried on were
called off and a strike vote was taken
by the locals, and orders were issued
for the strike on September / unless
the union demands were granted.
Members of the Carpenters Union
state that there is a great demand for
men of their craft today in every
section of the Newark distdict, and
that 1t is next to impossible to get a
sufficient number of men to fill all
the jobs that are open.
No general tie-up of the local
building trades is anticipated, as the
Carpenter Brotherhood is not af-
filiated with the local Building Trades
Essex Trades Council.
Officials of the union say that the
only way that strike can be averted
is by the contractors agreeing to the
full demands asked by the union.

TO PROBE ALLEGED,
DISCRIMINATION
IN FREIGHT RATES
Jersey Commerce Board Calls
Conference of Northern Jer-
sey Interests for Sept. IA.
From a STAFF Correspondent.

TRENTON, Aug. 2S--At the sug-
gestion of Governor Fielder the Board
Of Commerce and Navigation today
issued a call for conference at the
State House Tuesday, September IA,
of civic and Industrial organizations
and municipal authorities of North
Jersey, to devise way by which the
New Jersey district in the New York
freight zone shall have reflected in
Nwer rates the lower costs of rail
service rendered to it's industries.
The mayors of cities in Monmouth,
Middlesex, Union, Bergen, Passaic,
Essex and Hudson counties have
been invited to confer with the board
and the matter discussed so that the
question can most effectively be pre-
| sented before the Interstate Com
merce, Commission. In a letter of
invitation to those requested to be
present the Board of Commerce and
Navigation said:
ut is we'll known that for many
years the railroad companies from
the North and West have performed
lighterage and car-float services at
New York without any charge addi-
tional to the freight rates to and
from New York on certain commodi-
ties and on certain short-haul traffic.
This means that the railroad rate to
the New Jersey portion of the New
York freight zone from the North and
West is. in general, the same as to the
New York portion, in spite Of the fact
that the lighterage service necessary
to deliver freight to the New York
district is not performed in the freight
delivered to the New Jersey district
and this seemingly constitutes a dis
elimination in rates against the New
Jersey terminals in New York har-
Dor and in favor of the New York
terminals in New York harbor.
'In the decision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in this recent
protest, the following appears: A
valuable result of the present inquiry
is a demonstration of the necessity
for a thorough revision of the tariffs
governing terminal charges and prac-
tices at New York
1.-THE officers of the New Jersey
Harbor Commission followed the
hearings given in this recent case by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and they have presented this matter
before the present Board of Com
merce and Navigation. This board,
realizing the Importance of this ques-
tion, and following the suggestion by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
that a full inquiry concerning terml
nal services, etc, should be made has
at recent meeting set aside certain
funds for the purpose of gathering
together necessary information with
q view to filing a complaint on be-
half of the State of New Jersey be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission concerning the discrimination
in freight rates against the New
Jersey portion of the New York
freight zone.
This board holds that all services
performed by the carriers should be
paid for, and that all free services
are determinations which are not
only distinctly unfair and improper,
but are also unlawful"

FINDS INDUSTRIAL
UNREST MENACE
TO PEACE IN u. S.
Labor Denied Full Product of
Its Toll, Chairman Walsh
Reports.
BLAMES WORKERS AS
BLIND TO OWN CAUSE
Courts. Legislatures and Gov
ernors Perverted by Employ

KANSAS. CITY, Aug. 2s.-Low
wages was found to be the basic
cause of Industrial unrest in the re-
port which Frank P. Walsh, chair
man of the Federal Commission on
Industrial Relations, and the labor
smembers of that body will present
to congress as a result of the COM
missions two-year investigation into
the subject.
The report, embodying the personal
findings of Mr.. Walsh and ooncurred
in by Commissioners John B. Len
non, James O'Connell, and Austin B.
Garretson, was made public here
today.
"The workers of the nation,
through compulsory and oppressive
methods, legal and illegal, are de-
MED the full product of their TOLL" it
was declared in the report, and the
resulting industrial dissatisfaction
was said to have reached "propor-
tions that already menace the social
good will and the peace of the
nation"
Responsibility for the condition un-
der which they live was placed pri-
marily upon the workers themselves,
who "blind to their collective
strength and oftentimes deaf to the
cries of their followers. have suffered
exploitation and the invasion of their
most sacred rights without resist
ance.'
The report in part follows:
I'VE find the basic cause of indus
trial dissatisfaction to be low wages,
or stated in another way, the fact
that the workers of the nation,
through compulsory and oppressive
methods, legal and illegal, are denied
the full product of their toll.
