Want NEGROES
TO CONE BACK
Colored Men Needed in
East st. Louis To Han
die Freight
(Ry Associated Press.l

East st. Louis, ILL.,. July 6.-The
interruption to the industrial life Of
this city and the commercial life
of the much larger city of st. Louis,
Mo, as a result of the exodus OF
negro labor that followed the race
riots Monday, arrested the attention
OF business men Of the two cities
yesterday.
The chamber of commerce of East
st. Louis at a meeting attended by
seventy-five business men and heads
of industries adopted a resolution
urging the negro workmen who fed
from East st. LOUIS to return and
promising them on the authority Of
the chief of police, protection in life
and property.
At the same time Traffic Commits
sioner Coyle, Of the st. Louis Cham
Der Of Commerce, took up with rail-
way and terminal officials the inter-
ruption to freight movement that has
resulted from the exodus of negroes
employed in the freight and switch
ing yards.
Mr.. Coyle said that IL normal traf-
fic could not be restored by the rail-
roads an appeal would be made to
the federal government on the basis
of federal control over interstate
commerce. .
Most of the st. Louis railroads
have their freight terminals in East
st. Louis and anything that inter-
feres with lab0~ in the railway yards
Of East st. Louis affects st. Louis
commerce directly.
About 1900 Illinois guardsmen are
now on duty here and the resolutions
adopted by the East st. Louis Cham
her of Commerce yesterday assure
the negroes that these troops can
preserve order without the assist
ance Of the federal troops. A meet
ing of 300 business men will be held
this afternoon to consider means Of
getting the negro laborers to return.

CONSUMPTION
PASSES FIRST
TEST IN CANADA
Bill is Advancing to Second
Reading In Canadian
Parliament
LAURIER'E MOVE FOR
REFERENDUM FAILS
Vote is More Than Two to
One in Favor of
Measure
(By Associated Press.1

Ottawa, Ont. July 6.-The Cam
adam house OF commons early to-
day adopted the resolution offered
by Premier Borden passing to second
reading the bill for compulsory mill
tary service.
Exciting scenes marked the taking
OF the vote which stood ll8 for con-
scription and SIS against.
The vote gave the government
about 90 more votes than II usually
polls on important questions.
This was the result Of a consider
able number of English speaking
liberals breaking away from the
leadership of Sir Wilfrid Laurier,
and joining with Premier Borden in
support OF CONSUMPTION.
Before the bill was sanctioned Sir
Wilfrid Laurier's proposal that the
opinion OF the people on CONSUMPTION
should be tested by a referendum,
was defeated by a majority of 40.
A resolution presented by a French
Nationalist from the province of
Quebec that the CONSUMPTION bill
should be killed by the adoption of a
six months postponement was de-
feated by the large majority Of 1855.
Only nine nationalist votes were
cast for the resolution and both the
government and the opposition to
CONSUMPTION voted against this pro-
posal.
An amendment aimed to supply
more adequate provisions for de-
pendants of men at the front was
defeated, lis to SIS.
Premier Borden explained that
this amendment was "dilatory" and
that he would refuse to allow IL 10
interfere with the second reading.

Robinson Substitute.
All formal steps for a decisive and
spirited struggle on prohibition have
been taken. Senator Robinson in
troduced today the so-calIed "ad-
ministration compromise" substitute
for the Gore plan, providing only
that distillation of foodstuffs for in
toxicating beverages shall cease.
Private polls of the senate leaders
of both factions indicate large ma
tority for the Robinson substitute.
After agreeing to proceed with the
liquor fight the senate late yester-
day adopted Senator Kenyon's
amendment to a section of the bill
greatly extending the governments
power to purchase and sell supplies
to secure reasonable prices. Under
the amendment in addition to foods,
feed and fuel, the government would
be authorized to buy and sell and at
minimum prices fixed by the federal
authorities, all other "necessaries"
named in the BILL
Before final passage of the bill a
determined effort will be made to
broaden 1t so as to insure that the
government would have power to
regulate coal prices and to take over
and operate coal mines.

RUSSELL PLEADS
FOR RUSSIANS
Will Fulfill Their Task of
Establishing Republic
He Says
(Rx Associated Press. )

Petrograd, July 6.-The Russian
people will fulfill their task of estab-
fishing Republic, in the opinion Of
Charles Edward Russell, a member
of the American mission to Russia.
Mr.. Russell yesterday issued the fol-
lowing statement on the observa-
tons he has made here since his ar
rival some weeks ago:
Il venture to appeal to my fellow
democrats in the United States and
Great Britain for a more sympa-
thetic attitude toward the struggling
democracy of Russia. ! appeal to edi-
tors not to print wild-eyed stories
of impending ruin and chaos and to
newspaper readers not to believe
such stories If printed. There is no
monarchy here. There is only linn
tied amount of disorder. The people
of Russia under the most trying con-
ditions in history have given an ex-
ample of dignity and self restraint.
1T is well to face the facts frank
ly, but it is also we'll to look beyond
surface conditions to the true basis
of Russian development. Every phase
of the present situation is a logical
and normal outcome of natural
causes. The substance is sound and
hopeful il only other democracies
give help whole heartedly instead Of
standing by to prophesy destruction.
These people know their job and
will do 1t. / suggest it is about time
to do away with all criticism and
give them a chance

Mr.. Eaker said later he had no
announcement to make as TO the
date OF the drawing. II has been
announced the drawing will be held

a statement covering the method to
be followed will be issued today or
tomorrow.
Organization of the local and dis
trict exemption boards, the arrange
ment of the registration lists in

airy work must be completed before
the selection machinery can be set
in motion.
A statement by the public infor-
nation committee says this may be
done by Saturday, though there is
no certainty about It.
Reports current yesterday that
selections already had been made
probably arose from the fact that
many boards have numbered their

The last district will have to COM

PET, FRENCH BOXER KILLED IN BATTLE, HAD
 MADE AMERICAN TOUR

On October 2a, 1909. Henri Piet fought a six-round draw with Maurice Savers at Philadelphia. This was the first bout in the American tour of Piet, the French lightweight, who was killed in the war in the early part of 1915. From Philadelphia Piet went to New Orleans. where he was knocked out in the second, round by Ad Wolgast, and was afterward defeated by Leonard Lauder. Piet remained on this side several months and fought no-decision contests with several boxers in New York, Phila- delphia and Easten, Pa.. before re- turning to his native Paris. In 1911 he defeated Georges Carpenter and Young Joseph. His last important ring battle was in 1913, when he was knocked out by Young Ahearn. Piet was fighting a welterweight when the war broke out and he immediately shou1dered his gun and marched to the front, where he was slain in a battle near Eparges, Piet is but one of many French professional boxers who have given their lives for their country,

Getting Ready. To
 Start 3rd Major
 League Next Year

New York, Oct. 23-Though Ed Barrow is saying little about the pro- posed merger of the International League and American Association, the association promoters anxious for the consolidation are not letting the grass grow under their feet. Nor are they hiding their intentions.
 The Indianapolis, Louisville and Toledo clubs already have served no- tice on President Hickey of the as- sociation that they intend to secede from the association and affiliate with International clubs.
 Reports from the West say an rn- ternational club will be placed in the West Side of Chicago, the district va mans old Federal League plant on the North Side and in Detroit.
 It is doubtful if the major leagues will permit third club in Chicago. They had three clubs in Chicago and three in St. Louis during the Federal League war and the combination did not work we'll. There probably would be no objection to another club in Detroit, provided 1t had no conflicts with the Tigers. However, an Ameri- can Association club was tried in Cleveland in recent years, playing there when the Indians were on the road, but it was a failure from the start.
 President Hickey of the American Association refused to confirm re- ports of the secession of Indianapolis Louisville and Toledo.
 T only care toS say that if the club owners of Indianapolis, Louisville and Toledo have decided to secede as re- ported it is only proper that we should be prepared" said Hickey. ''It is true that we have been discussing plans t be carried out in the event of with drawal by these clubs. but announce ment relative to these plans now would be premature"

JIMMY CLINTON
 AND WHITE WILL
 BE WITH RIBBONS

Manager John Leavy of the Blue Ribbon basketball team has returned from a trip to New York where he signed Jimmy Clinton and Eddie White, the two star forwards of last seasons team, for the coming cam paign. The season will open at Co., lonia1 hall the second Tuesday in Mo- vember and from present indications there will be plenty of enthusiasm shown by the fans.
 Clinton and White made themselves popular with the crowd s1ast season by their clever tossing. Clinton is veteran but White is a youngster who was discovered by Manager Leavy playing with small independent team. White developed rapidly and before the close of the last campaign was regarded as one of the best for wards in the East. Owing to the fact that Norwalk will not have profes- sional basketball it Is doubtful if league will be formed this season. The Ribbons will probably play independ- ent ball and meet the best teams in this section. 6<

BROOKLYN TEAM
 TO GET SALARIES
 GUT NEXT SEASON

Not many of the Dodgers tarried in Brooklyn long after receiving their final pay checks. There was a ma- jority desire to leave the scene of their big disappointment with as little de- lay as possible, writes Len Wooster in the Brooklyn Times.
 Up to last year it was customary for the Brooklyn Club to tender, con- tracts to at least some players be- fore the close of the season for the following year. Because of a read
 justment of the salary list this was dispensed with. This fall, it is said, none of the players on the reserve list for 1918 were asked to sign be- ! fore the team disbanded last week The only player under contract is Jake Daubert, who will work out the last of his five-year term next season
 Manager Robinson, report says, has been re-engaged for 1918. There is no need to hurry this business. The club has until February I to send tout contracts.
 In the meantime, lot may trans pire to having a bearing on salaries This was not a prosperous year fol baseball taken by and large and thu war continuing into the next playing season there is likely to be a cut ting of expenses right to the bone 1 not only by the lesser lights, but by | the leviathans as well. As for tn,
 minor 1eagues, there will be few O. them in operation-very few. So tha
 for once the question of salaries pait
 their players will hardly arise.

BILLY HUGHES HAS HOPES OF BEATING

Billy Hughes, who won fame by beating Young McAuliffe at the Sep tenlber boxing show, is hopeful that he can beat K. O. Eggers next Mon day night at the Casino. Hughes is training hard for he realizes that Eggers is a dangerous opponent. Tho trouble with Eggers. is that he is ike iy to unload that knockout wallop any time.
 Hughes in his bout with McAuliffe showed himself to be a clever boxer and he may outpoinr Eggers in that line. Fans who saw Eggers floor Frankie Burns at the Casino last year, however, know that Hughes must keep a watchful eye out every minute or he will be apt to hit the canvas with a dull thud The boys are scheduled to go 1 5 rounds.
 In the semi-final of ten rounds Louis Bogash of this city will tackle Young Boyd of South Norwalk. Both youngsters are willing mixers and should furnish. lively bout, The preliminary will have Johnny Shu- grue, brother of Joe Shugrue. and Al Richie of Rhode Island as princi- pals.
