German-Austria Is
Convinced Burdens Of
Treaty Cannot Be Mel

Copenhagen, Aug. "a summary
of the Austrian note presented to the
allied peace mission at St German,
France, has been received here from
Vienna.
If German-Austra's territorial
demands are fulfilled to the mini
mum extent maintained for in the
appendix to the note" says the
summary, "German-Austria will
make efforts to believe she can live
independently and in peace in this
territory. She expects the league of
nations will hear her in her hour of
distress.
On the other hand German-Aus-
tra still is firmly convinced that the
economic burdens imposed upon her
by the peace treaty cannot really be
carried out and that if they are not
substantially lightened she is bound
to collapse.
The note. concludes with a refer
ence to settling accounts between
German-Austria and other states of
the former monarchy, declaring that
stipulations not capable of fulfill
ment must be removed and these
questions regulated by the repara-
tons commission in order not to
prolong the peace negotiations.

KING RECEIVES
AMBASSADOR OF
SOUTHERN STATE
Action of Great Britain 1t Is
Believed Will PIaCate
Threatened Trouble With
Argentina.

Buenos Aires, Aug. 8.-Senor To-
ledo, Argentina minister to Great
Britain, whose return to this coun-
try was said yesterday by news
papers here to indicate delicate
diplomatic relations with the British
government. was received by King
George, according to London dis
patches printed today by La Nacion
and La Prensa.
La Nacion yesterday printed a
statement that the Argentine min
lister presented his credentials, but
had not been received. presumably
because of the Argentine govern
ment's purchase of the former Ger
man steamship Bahia Blanca, a
transaction which Great Britain re-
fused to recognize. The prospective
return to London of Sir Reginald
Tower, British minister to Argen-
tina, was said by La Nacion to be
mot disconnected" with the other
instance.
Sir Reginald, however, denied that
this return to England had any
significance. He said that the trip
would be made for rest.
The London dispatches stated also
that the case of the Bahia Blanca
had not yet been settled, according
to the British foreign Office.
Meantime the Argentine govern
ment is advertising for outbound
charters for the Bahia Blanca. an
rouncing she will sail for Europe as
soon as congress approves the gov
ernfhent's proposal to buy burlap
for resale to Argentina farmers.
The Bahia Blanca. interned at
Buenos Aires and damaged by her
German crew early in the war, was
taken over by the Argentine gov
eminent i'll June, 1878, but never
went to sea because the allies, in
Guiding the United States, refused to
recognize the transfer of her flag.

The Nebraska State Federation Of
Labor, in session at the Labor Tenn
pie Yesterday. criticized w. A..
Fraser, sovereign commander of the
Woodmen of the World. for his &C
ton in discharging 20 organized Of
fee employees and requested the
American Federation of Labor to
censor the Woodmen of the World
and place it on the unfair list. The
organization has ALREADY been term
ed unfair by the Nebraska fedora
ton.
The sovereign camp of Omaha
was especially denounced by the
delegates for acceding to the action
of the national head.
T. P. Reynolds, president of the
federation. recommended that the
organization lend its aid in form
ing a reporters and newswriters'
union in this city. The working
conditions of the reporters was de-
scribed as bad, particularly as to
long hours.
Thomas P. Reynolds, Omaha
labor leader, was elected president
Of the federation; J. w. Burns,
Omaha, first vice-president, and F.
p. Campbell of Hastings and Tom
McCargar of Lincoln second and
third vice-presidents.

bers of the legislative committee.

pensation law. The principal amend
ment would create a state fund,
gathered from employers in the
state and disbursed under the com
pensation law to employees. TIL.
amendment would eliminate the
writing of compensation insurance
by insurance companies.
The report of the profiteering
committee condemned Governor
McKelvie for what the commit
tee styled his refusal to allow
the people to secure legislation
against profiteering. The commit
tee objected to the governors re-
fusal to call new session of the
legislature to combat profteering.
The profiteering committee asked
the attorney general and county at
torneys throughout the state to de-
mand the enforcement of the Junkin
act and other state laws dealing with
combinations which are now being
neglected.
The profteering committee sug-
gested the california" plan as one
of the most successful methods of
combating the high cost of living,
and urged its local adoption
The California" plan, according
to the committee. is to license all
dealers, retail and wholesale, and
commission men and to form an in
vestigation board with power to
subpoena witnesses and examine
books, and when profteering is de-
tected on the part of any dealers to
revoke his license.
The committee urged cooperative
buying and selling as means OF
combating the high cost of living.
One hundred and twenty-four
local unions were represented dur
ing the convention. That number
is an increase of more than 80 over
any previous attendance.
