C. OF C. ''SITS IN
Business Men Take Hand in
Union-BiIIard Fight.
Delicate Situation Brings Out
New Mediator.

The Chamber of Commerce has now
taken on itself the duties of intervenor
between capital and labor, as the re-
suit of motion that was passed by
the board of directors Saturday af-
ternoon at the request of the Topeka
Industrial council
The council is very much wrought
up over the refusal of Robert Billiard
or the Mutual Ice company to meet
with the representatives of the team
Sters union in regard to the size. sal
aries Billiard shall pay and the num-
Der of hours the teamster shall work.
Consequently the Industrial council
evolved the idea of having the Cham
Der of Commerce bring pressure to
bear on Billiard to arrange for con-
ference between the union officials
and Billiard. The Chamber then took
this unusual step and committee was
authorized to be appointed to wait on
Billiard with the proposal.
President McEntire of the Chamber
of Commerce stated over the tele-
phone this morning that at is for the
interests of the community, and since
the board has authorized me to APP
point a committee to try to arrange
the conference, I am going to do it. 1t
is delicate matter
The whole thing has grown out of
what Billiard terms the voluntary quit
ting of members of his teaming force
when they were refused advanced pay
recently. The labor unions took the
fight up and at various times in the
last week or two vague rumors have
come from labor camps of a threaten
ed general strike of all union men.
the idea being to force Billiard to meet
the unions demands.
Saturday the unions issued state
ment that 1.-The Peoples Ice company
and the Mutual Ice company have d.
vided Topeka into districts and have
entered on an agreement that neither
company shall compete for the 9TH
er's customers, In effect the accuse
ton is that the two ice companies
of Topeka have formed a trust to con-
troll the ice business.

SIGHT OF DEAD SON KILLS.
Mother Paints Over Casket and Never
Regains Consciousness.

Pottsville, Pa, June l9.-Mrs
Mary Goodman swooned over the body
of her son, George, when she saw the
corpse in it's casket Monday, never re-
covered consciousness and died shortly
afterward. She will be buried by
side Of her son.
There is considerable mystery about
the death of young Goodman. He was
found with four bullets in his head
and, although supposed to have COM
mitted suicide, some experts are skep-
teal as to the ability or any man 20
stand and shoot himself four times In
fatal spots. The fact that Goodman
purchased a revolver shorty before
the shooting points to the suicide
theory.

SIGN OF WEAKNESS
U-Boat Raids on, American Coast In
tended to Deceive Stay-At-H0me
Germans.

Germans.
London, June 19.-The opinion ex-
pressed by Vice Admiral Sir Rosslyn
Wempss, first lord Of the British adj
miralty, last week that the submarine
activity of the Germans off the At
lantic coast of the United States
should not be taken very seriously, as
the Germans probably would not at
tempt to block American shores, has
resulted in statement being issued
at American naval headquarters,
which says:
."The activity of the German SUBJ
marines on the American coast is a
manifestation of the failure of the
enemy's submarine campaign. The
enemy has limited number of sub
marines, and his only chance OF en-
ploying this available number sue
cessfully is to concentrate their opera
tons on the local points of allied
trade All shipping which supplies the
allied armies must converge in the
areas in the vicinity of England and
France.
"Every submarine which operates
far afeld, as off the extensive coast
of America, simply means less losses
to the allies, because it is one less
submarine where shipping is heavy
and therefore harder to protect.
"Such activities will, of course, re-
suit in the loss of some ships; losses
will undoubtedly go on until the end
OF the war. What we are concerned
about is whether the losses the enemy
irhicts are critical--are more than we
can stand. The situation today is that
there is sufficient tonnage available
to meet the allied demands and It il
constantly growing larger.
"From the enemy press it is evident
that these futile submarine raids il
remote areas, such as raids on he
American coast, the commandment of
Monrovia, and the activities in the
Azores, cannot have any effect on the
outcome of the war and are carried
on to deceive their own pablc rs tc
the submarine camra ,!;1.'
