Chamber of Commerce
Asks Manufacturers to
Find Substitutes
Railroad Service Cut
Local Trading Is Urged to
Aid Transportation
Problem

Washington, July /. -- War require
ments will leave little steel for general
business purposes, the special defence
committee of the Chamber of Com
mercc of the United States insisted
tonight in warning to business in
terests to turn TO substitutes of wood
and other materials wherever possible.
"The steel situation" the committee
declares. probably will make it impos-
sible for general manufacturers to Sc
cure adequate supplies of steel, and
even may make it impossible to secure
any"
Government needs will increase, it is
set forth, with the progress of the war,
and the greatest amount of steel that
can be produced will not fill the re-
quirements Of America and her allies.
mo substantial increase in produc-
tion is anticipated" the warning says.
Even maximum production from exist
ing facilities cannot be expected be-
cause transportation, labor and mate
rial conditions will interfere with full
operation of plants.
"On the other hand, indications are
that the war requirements will con-
tine to increase. Steel is needed in war
for ships, railroad cars and locomo-
tives, rails, trucks and containers. 1t
must be had for shells and other mu-
nitions work requirements in ton
mage far beyond what is generally sup
posed. In addition, businesses producing
government materials and supplies. the
necessities of life and the materials
for producing the necessities of life,
require steel in great quantities for
buildings, machinery, tools and con-
tanners. When all these requirements
are met, it is said, little, if any, steel
will be left for so-called general bust
ness.
materials which can be used in sub
stitution for steel are plentiful in COM
parison. Lumber may be expected to
meet all needs and cement may be had
in quantity for concrete work. While
there may oe delays in getting supplies
of these materials, hopeless shortage
does not exist.
1.-THE course for business men to pur-
sue is clear Every effort should be
made TO use wood and concrete in place
of steel whenever this can be done, and
and development work re-
quiring steel should be prepared wher-
ever possible"

Minister Asserts
Brutality Drove
Negroes North

Negroes will migrate to the North
by the hundreds of thousands because
their treatment by white people in the
South is becoming unbearable. Their
exodus is leaving some towns almost
deserted, and many sections are suffer-
ing great losses because Of the sudden
scarcity of negro labor SO permanent
is the effect of the migration that II
the 100000 negroes who came North
within the last year were offered good
pay in their former home towns less
than 10 per cent of them would return.
These assertions were made yester-
day by speakers at negro mass meet
ing at the Abyssinian Baptist Church,
24O West Fortieth Street. The Rev.
A. Clayton Powell, the pastor, said the
Rev. A. l.. James at Ocala, Fla, discov-
cred last week that his entire parish
had moved to New York. He followed
them and is preparing to organize them
in church in Harlem.
AIN a parish in Georgia another negro
preacher found that thirty families
had moved away in one week without
his knowing it," said DR.. Powell:
"There is a moral reaction against Ill
treatment by the whites. The negroes
have at last become tired of reading
signs Negroes and Dogs Not Admitted
Here or This Car for Negroes Only
an the last twelve months the negro
movement northward has been cyclonlc.
The 100000 negroes who have left their
Southern homes in that time caused an
economic loss TO their employers OF at
least 5000, 900. Yet, If these ne
proes were asked to return on the basis
of their Northern wages. not 10 per
cent of them would accept. They have
come North TO stay.
"The negro problem is rapidly NOV
ing northward II means that new Ell
forts to educate and prepare the negro
for mis- new position in life must be
devised" -,
Frederick r. Moore, editor of THE
Age" said that although the negroes
owned $4,000, 100000 worth of farm
lands and implements, homes valued at
81 500. 600 900. and have S2OO,OOO,OOO IN
Southern banks, their gradual emigra-
tion northward was inevitable, pc
cause Of the brutal treatment at the
hands of the whites" "ln Birmingham
and Atlanta, if a negro woman tries on
a hat or gloves in a store and does not
buv them she will be insulted by the
white clerk" he said. "lf negro steps

ference to-day with King Alexander
and Premier NeniZelos.
The Provisional Government, which
was established at Salonica nine
months ago by Premier Venizelos and
his followers, was merged yesterday
into the legal government of united
Greece. The officials of the Provis-
ional Government have left Salonica
for Athens, and steps are being taken
to repatriate refugees. Salonica thus
returns TO normal conditions.
Greek steamship companies announce
the resumption of service between
Salonics ana other Greek ports.
Liberty of opinion will be a cardinal
principle of the new government of
Premier Nenizelos. Officials opposed
TO the Premier and who have observed
passive attitude and fulfilled their
duties will retain their positions.
Officials, however, who have inter
fered in party politics. and have taken
advantage of their positions to further
the anti-Liberal cause, will be dis
missed and prosecuted.
The Minister of War has instructed
all officers and men Immediately to
take the oath of fidelity to King Alex
ander.
Criminal prosecutions will be insti-
tuted by the new Greek government
against the persons responsible for the
cvente of last December when Gree X
troops fired on a French landing party
IN Athens. Even Cabinet ministers
will not be immune. Proceedings also
will be taken against Cabinet ministers
and officials holding Office since Feb.
ruary, 1915, who have violated the COLI
stitution.
An agreement has been reached
whereby the French will return TO
Greece the vessels of the Greek light
hotilla stationed at Salamis, ten miles
west Of Athens.
