interesting Meeting of Local
Board OF Trade Last
Night.
COMMITTEES TO BE NAMED
Representative Delegations from
Fishermen's Union and Pack
ers Were Present-BeIieved
Adjustment Is In Sight.

A well attended meeting of the
Brunswick board OF trade was held
last night for the purpose of consid-
ering the prawn situation and to try
and harmonize the differences now
existing between the packers and the
fishermen over pending legislation
touching the industry DELEGATIONS
were present from both the Fisher
mems union and the local packers and
the situation was discussed from ev-
cry angle and very strong effort was
made TO bring the COntending forces
in the local industry into better
agreement in which all parties could
come together on common ground. The
packers were opposed to the plan of
providing weighers at their own ex-
pense for the benefit of the fishermen
and they are also very much against
clause in the pending bill which pro-
vides fer licenses only to American
citizens and intended to drive the
Portuguese fishermen out of the local
field. On the other hand the fisher
men insist on both of these provisions
in the bill. They claim that they
do not get a square deal from the
factories in the matter OF weights and
that foreign labor ought not to be
brought into competition with that of
the local people. After considerable
1t was finally agreed to
name three sets Of committees and
submit the matter to them for final
the committees in question
to come from the Board of Trade. the
Packers and the Fishermen. These
committees will be named probably to-
day and will get to work at once. OF
course whatever the committees do
will have to be ratified by all parties
at interest In the meantime, it can
be stated that the bill now pending in
the legislature will not be passed UNI
til, the matter has been fully agreed
upon by the people of Brunswick.
The meeting was good natured one
in which general disposition TO give
and take was manifested and it is be.
lieved that by the end of the week the
matter will have been satisfactorily
adjusted.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.-The
special police squadron to arrest the
person or persons responsible for the

CAUGHT IN BIG TUNNEL

CLEVELAND, O., July 25.-Twenty-
two are dead and half dozen others
dying as the result of an explosion of
gas in a waterworks tunnel five miles
from shore underneath Lake Erie late
last night. The dead include workmen
who were trapped in the tunnel when
gas exploded, and members of two
rescue parties.
Eleven were in the force trapped
by the explosion. None escaped. The
men. Four perished. The second res
cue party comprised eleven men and
six of them lost their lives. The first
rescue party accomplished nothing.
The second saved one member of the
first relief expedition. None has yet
reached any of the men trapped by
the explosion. Of the eight rescuers
who got out alive, two died later. The
others may die. Two men also were
overcome by fumes who did not go in
to the tunnel
A third rescue party entered the
tunnel at $50 and brought out alive
Gustav G. Van Dusen, superintendent
of waterworks construction, who had
headed the second relief force. Van
Dusen may die. The body of a mem
ber of the second rescue crew was al
so brought out by the third rescue par
ty. 1t had been supposed that Van
Dusen had perished.
The tragic fate of the first two res
cue crews was due to the fact that
they worked without oxygen helmets,
which were unavailable No puImo-
tors were at hand for use in attempt
ing to resuscitate those first brought
out.

AMERICAN
TRADE AFTER
GREAT WAR
HAS ALL THE ADVANTAGE AND
MUST SUPPLY DEMANDS OF
NATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN
Devastated.

Norfolk, Va, Dec 1.-THE United
States will enter competition of the
world trade after the war with every
advantage. said Secretary Of Com
mercc Redfield, speaking before the
Southern Commercial Congress.
There is the best reason for know
ing that in at least four important
respects the end of the war will
mean calls on us for supplies which
now We are prevented from furnish
ing" said Mr. Redfield. "These de
mands will be for foodstuffs of many
kinds, for agricultural machinery, for
lumber in many forms and for credits
in the way of loans and investments"
Americas advantage will lie, said
the secretary, in the fact that her
adjustments from war to peace con
ditions will not be so severe as in the
fighting countries.
1T Is reasonable 20 suppose that
foreign industries as whole he
said "wil have to make sharper
readiustment of product from war
goods to peace goods than is to be
the case with us. Consider what a
manufacturer in one OF the Central
Powers would face if he undertook
to make up goods for stock today on
any considerable scale for an export
market. lie would manufacture at
high rates under war conditions, with
higher than normal costs, with some
of his trained supervising and work
ing staff in the armies, and with
every material enhanced in price, per
haps with some supply cut off.
This man must pile up goods so
made at a time when credit is costly
and taxes are advancing for a sale

tant and in markets whose current
movements he may not know and Of
whose future conditions no one can

ROADS WANT THAT PENNY.

Oklahoma City Dec. 16.-Repre-
sentatives of all the railroads oper-
ating in the state were here Friday
lat the hearing Of the corporation com
mission on a proposed order to mod
fly an order issued by the cmmissin
several months ago relative to the
charging of l cent extra where pas
sengers boarded trains not having
purchased tickets. They vigorously
objected to reducing the charge.
When the order allowing the charge
of the extra cent was made, several
things wre considered by the com
mission and the order was allowed
rather on condition that the railroads
do other things they were not doing.
Complaints we're sent to the commits
sion asking that the roads be required
to keep one door of all the coaches
open for egress or ingres. Travelling
men especially complained about the
rule of the roads to require each pas
sengr to sehow ticket before entering
the cars.
When the order was made finally
IT allowed the roads to charge the
1 cent extra where a passenger had
failed to buy a ticket, but required
the opening of a car door at every
car, and prohibited the rule of show
ing tickets before boarding the train.
Complaints came to the commits
sion that the railroad companies were
not conforming to the order. 1t was
