Commerce of the United States, now
in convention at the New Willard

GOMPERS IN CHICAGO FIRE.
Was Holding Labor Conference
When Blaze Routed Him Out.

CHICAGO, February 3.-Practically
every piece of fire-fghting apparatus
in "the loop" responded today to an
alarm from the Kaiserhof Hotel. whose
upper stories were attacked by a blaze
that routed guests. Thousands of
spectators crowded the streets, com
pletely blocking traffic. There seemed
but little chance of the fires harming
the New Kaiserhof. a skyscraper adj
joining, but some fear was felt for
other buildings in the block. including
the Victoria Hotel.
Among the guests driven out was
Samuel Gompers, president OF the
American Federation of Labor. Mr..
Gompers had just opened Il conference
with five other labor leaders in q room
on the sixth floor when a switchboard
girl who remained at her post tele-
phoned the alarm to every room.
The federation head hurried out,
leaving his baggage. and hastened to
telegraph his people in Washington of
his safety. All the labor leaders with
him escaped in an elevator.

GIVES NEW ASPECT
T0C0MMERCE ISSUE
Britain's AvoWed Purpose of
Selling American Products
Destined to BeIIigerents.

State Depa rtment officials were serious
ly considering today what action the
United States should take as a result of
the Information received yesterday from
Ambassador Page in London, stating
that the British fleet had been ordered
to treat cargoes of grain and flour
destined for Germany and Austria as
conditional contraband, subject to seiz-
ure and confiscation.
This announcement put an entirely
new complexion on the negotiations
that have been in progress intermit-
tently since the beginning of the war
in regard to the right of neutral states
to ship food supplies to belligerent
countries. In q recent British note to
Secretary Bryan it was stated that the
conclusion had not been cached to
interfere with such shipments provided
they were intended for the non-com-
Blatant elements of the population and
not for the army or government OF the
belligerent state with which England
was at war.
1t was intimated then. however.
that the exceptional conditions of the
present war might warrant some such
action as act of retaliation.
No Decision Reached.
The State Department has not de-
ter, and is carefully considering the
whole subject. AS a preliminary 1t
has advised the w. l. Greene Commits
sion Company of ST. Louis. owners of
the Wilhelmina's cargo, of the deter
mination of the British government
to appropriate the cargo and pay for
it. Ambassador Page has been asked
for further information on the gen.
eral subject.
Ambassador Page explained that this
new attitude of the British govern
ment had been assumed after an
nouncement was made that the Ger
man government had decreed confisca-
tion of all grain and flour to conserve
the nations food supply.
Since the publication of the German
order, the ambassador here. Count Won
Bernstorff, has personally assured the
American government that no food
stuffs imported from the United States
or other neutral countries would be
subject to seizure. and press dispatches
have announced the issuance of

Criticism Of Plan Adopted
in Census of Manufactures

At today's session of the convention
reports of the special committee on
uniform food and drug regulations
and the standing committee on statis-
tics and standards were presented
Willoughby NJ. Mccormick Is chairman
of the food and drug regulations COM
mittee. and A. W. Douglas is chairman
OF the committee on statistics and
standards. The report of the latter
committee went into the subject of the
1914 census of manufactures, and the
present status of government export
and import statistics. The method of
making the census of manufactures
by the government is criticised.
The special committee proposed a
series of recommendatious designed to
promote greater efficiency in both fed
eral and state regulation of food and
drugs. Its principal recommendations
include the enactment of the following:
A federal poison law: uniform state
narcotic and drug sanitation laws: a
federal cold storage law; a uniform
state food sanitation law: amendment
of the federal food and drugs acts re-
lating to importations of foods and
drugs, and the enactment of a uniform
advertising law to prohibit false and
fraudulent advertising of food and
drugs.
Urges Proper Food Regulations.
The report says that "a distinct
obligation rests upon the great COM
mercial interests of this nation en-
gagged in manufacturing and distribut-
ing our food and drug supplies to pro-
mote, and to cooperate cordially and
completely in. the perfection of foods
and drugs regulations"
The report OF the committee on sta
tistics and standards deals with its ef-
forts to secure certain reforms in the
federal governments statistical meth
DDS, and says that it's suggestions are
being adopted in the Treasury and
Commerce departments. and, in many
instances. in the census bureau. 1t
says, however, that the census of
nanufa cturers is in need of radical re-
form. particularly the general manu-
featuring schedule. which. it is assert
ed, lacks consistency and cIearness.
Tho report declares that II will require
years to overhaul government statistics
and adds that the Chamber Of Commerce
can render no greater service to tho
country than to ce-oDsFats With similaf

SENDING BELGIANS HOME.
Germany Believed to Find Feeding
Them Too Heavy a Burden.

AMSTERDAM, February ?. via Lon
don.-The Tijd describes the return to
Malines. Belgium. OF $40 Belgians. who
have been interned and held in Ger
many as hostages since the beginning
of the German invasion of Belgium.
Although there has been no eXplana-
ton of why these people were being
sent back. the opinion generally held,
the Tijd says. was that Germany, un-
able to feed all the prisoners in her
hands, was selling the oppoi unity )
send some of the Belgians home. Tho
says the returning Bel
gians were all ragged and dirty.

modifying decree making such exemp-
tions by the German government.
Gives British Position,

government had informed him that be-
cause the steamship Wilhelmina. now
bound from New York for Hamburg
with grain and other food, had sailed
before the issuance of the German de-
cree, an exception would be made in
her case. The vessel would be seized.
it was said. but she would be relea sed
and her cargo purchased at invoice
price by the British government.
Warning was given, however. that
other shipments hereafter OF like
character. when destined for Germany
directly or indirectly. would be seized.
as we'll as the vessels carrying them,
without compensation being paid.

Nav Discuss "Rule 49, Today.

"Rule 45' of the board of education

cepts a teachers resignation" when she
marries-may come up for discussion

Contention of Government.

One of the contentious of the govern
ment was that decisions of the federal
Supreme Court in the Standard Oil and
american Tobacco Company cases had
no application in this litigation De-
cause here the defendants were COM
mon carriers.
I'VE find no authority in the report,
reads the courts decision. nothing IN
the text of the act. nor in the congress,
aional proceedings which accompanied
it's passage to support the proposltiou
that the act is to have one construction
when defendants are Manufacturers,
merchants or traders and another and
