A. F. L. REFUSES TO
INDORSE THE GENERAL
STRIKE CALLED JULY q

Atlantic City, N. j., June H.
Following a sharp debate, during
which several of the delegates al
most came to blows, delegates to the
American Federation of Labor con-
vention here adopted resolution
late this afternoon refusing to in
dorse the general strike called for
July 4 as a protest against the i'm
prisonment of Tom Mooney, and
censuring the Mooney defense COM
mittee for it's alleged efforts to dis
rupt the American Federation Of La
Dor.
The resolution, however, directed
the executive council of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor to "exert
every effort to bring about new
trial for Mooney through recognized
processes.
Organized labor struck a blow at
the Bolshevik element in it's midst
when the American Federation of
Labor in convention here introduced
resolutin denying labors recgni-
ton of soviet Russia.
This memorial voted for after the
radical element had attempted to
have adopted resolutions calling for
the withdrawal Of troops from Rus
sia and the lifting of the blockade
in Russian waters, expressed the
conventions "well-considered con-
viction" that while the troops ought
to be withdrawn as soon as possible,
1--WE refuse Endorsement or recogni-
tion of the soviet or any other form
of government until the people of
Russia by a constituent or other
form Of national assembly establish
a truly democratic government"
A committee of two was appointed
to 60 to Toledo at once to confer
with officials of the WHY'S Overland
company in an effort to settle the
strike there.

QUESTION OF EX-KAISER'S
TRIAL is SECOND ONLY
TO SIGNING OF TREATY

Paris, June 18.-Second only to
the question of whether the Germans
will sign the peace treaty in the
minds of the French people today
was the subject of bringing Wilhelm
Hohenzollern to trial.
Even should the former kaiser
evade the ordeal of facing an inter-
national tribunal, the Germans
they accept the revised terms must
formally acknowledge his liability
to answer for the high crime against
civilization.
Renewal of the likelihood of ac-
tual prosecution of Wilhelm was in
dicated by the statement of the al
lies reply to the Germans counter
proposals that they are prepared to
submit final list Of "those who
must be handed over to justice with
in one month after the signing of
peace" While it is learne from au-
thoritative sources that the Ameri-
cans 80 far have not submitted the
names of any persons responsible for
violations of the laws or practices
of law, the European allies are un-
dertood to have long lists in the
making.

LAST ALLIED NOTE
DEPRESSES HUNS
Embittered Over Disrepect Shown
German Delegates By French.
Whole Draft is Overbearing and
Rough Say Germans-Express
Doubt As to Signing.

Weimar, June 1.-THE new AL
lied terms reached here late last
night and the first apparent effect
upon the German leaders. was that
of depression. A report passed ra-
pidly through the old castle where
the government heads are residing
temporarily, that the signing of the
peace terms by Germany was highly
improbable.
Every official and every member
of the foreign Office available ex-
pressed the deepest pessimism and re-
sentiment at the alleged cruelty Of
the terms. .
The Germans were especially en-.
bittered over report that French
mob had stoned the helpless German
delegates at Versailles.
Telephone Call.
The secretaries who had remained
up in the hope of receiving some
word from Versailles were rewarded
at II o'clock by a telephone call
from Versailles announcing the de-
parture of Count Won Brockdorf-
Rantzau. and the other delegates with
Allies reply. It was a moody and
dispirited crowd that heard the tele-
phone report in the castle of the for
mer Duke of SAKE Weimar. The mes
sage read as follows:
The delegation has left for Wei
mar. A brief view Of the document
Count Won Brockdirff Rantzau is
carrying. reveals the following de-
tails:
The tone of the document is ex-
traordinarily harsh and insulting.
Germany bears all blame and must in
consequence be punished.
1t can be glad if it comes out half
well.
German View of Terms.
"The conditions handed over are
those of an alleged peace Of justice
to conform to the Wilson program
The whole form is extraordinarily
rough and overbearing. The original
time limit Of five days has been by
request, extended by forty-eight
hours. This includes the three-day
armistice limit. The period of seven
days expires Monday evening at z
o'clock.
Concerning the contents there
canbe said at this moment only that
our opponents grant US less conces-
sions than were mentioned in the
Paris newspapers Of yesterday and
today"
"The departure Of the delegates
occurred amid the shouts ,hoots, and
jeer of a crowd which threw stones,
seriously wounding two delegates.
The crowd acted in the usual French
hoodlum fashion. The police made
not the slightest. effort to stop the
hoodlumism,

Changes Are Made in
Commerce Grid Lineup
For Beatrice Contest

With the hardest game of the grid
season facing the High School of
Commerce eleven, Coach Drummond
mas his, warriors working overtime
daily. If the locals should win from
the Blue river lads they will be con-
tenders for the state championship.
rs yet the business lads have lost
only one game the entire season and
their goal line has been touched
only once this year.
1t is rumored around the school
camp that Coach Drummond will
change his lineup completely for the
Beatrice contest. Some of the sec
ond squad men have been showing
fine eleventh hour work and prob
ably will take the place of some first
squad men.
Emil Rokusek and Duke" Levin
son, the fighting little ends on the
squad, probably will be shifted tc
guard positions. Lewis Camera and
Fuzzy" Dalton are rivals for the
signal caller honor in the Beatrice
contest. Camera has shown up wei
il practice and probably will have
the quarterback position. Daltor
has played his part we'll, but it i.
probable that he will be shifted by
Coach Drummond.
If any out of town high schoo

A letter to State Superintendent
Clemmons from State Superlntend-

inquiry into the situation and asked
if reciprocal relations which has ex-
listed between the state of Kentucky

Mr.. Clemmons looked up the law
and discovered that the new law
reads that if a shortage of properly

Move
Urges Auto Buying
Trip Thanksgiving
-P A. Barrows Correspondent ----

Lincoln, Nov. l2.-(Special. "A
bulletin issued by the federal high
way council on the farm-to-table
movement urges that those in 4
position to do so take trips in the
country in their cars and purchase
direct from the producer what they
may need for the table. The bulletin
says:
sConsiderabls interest is being
conferred in the farm-to-table move
ment which will be carried on the
week preceding Thanksgiving, No
vember IS to e. The entire ma
chinery of the government is active
w engaged in trying to reduce the
high cost of living, and just now,
with conditions as they are, no
movement could be more appropri-
ate or important than from the farm
to the table.
Much has been said on roadside
marketing and, in some parts Of the
country, it has developed to quite a
degree ard with such great success
that everyone is now urged to utilize
their motor trips into the country to
purchase produce from the farmer
at his gate, thereby establishing a
profitable and close relation between
the farmer and the consumer. Hun
dreds of thousands of motor trips
are taken every week for recrea-
tional purposes only. The tarm.to-
table movement urges the motorists
to turn these trips to good account IN
unitarian way by purchasing eggs,
butter, poultry, fruit and vegetables
at the farmers gate, for at the pres.
ent time very small percentage OF
these motorists ever stop at a farm
er's gate to purchase supplies. One
reason for this is that the farmer
does not display or advertise his
produce.
ut is therefore hoped that all or
CARNATIONS throughout the country
will take up this movement and en-
courage the farmers to establish
roadside markets and place sign
boards at their gates showing what
they have to sell. The motorist will
not only be able to purchase fresh
country produce during .Thanksglv-
ing week. but he will also establish
feeling of mutual benefit and good
fellowship.
