Next Tuesday noon, the Daughters
of Isabella will serve the Chamber of
Commerce Luncheon in the Dining
Hall of the K. of G. building. At this
luncheon will be announced the nom
inees for Directors of the Chamber
Of Commerce for the coming year.
Instead of the usual custom of having
a nominating Committee, the Direct
ors will be nominated by direct prim-
airy ballot, each member being mailed
a ballot containing the names of every
member of the Chamber. There will
be II directors chosen, of whom the
six receiving the highest number of
votes will be elected for two years
and the other six for one year so that
each year only half of the Board will
be entirely new. Another provision
of the revised constitution which will
probably be adopted, is that the Board
so elected will transact all of the bust

The Chamber of camn.-..


The Haye Chamber of Commerce.
was organized In the fall of 1917 as
an outgrowth of the feeling that the
business interests Of the town should
De more closely coordinated. From 3
membership Of less than a hundred
the organization has grown rapidly
until it includes practically all of the
business and professional men and
women Of the town, as well as a good.
" number OF farmers Though orig.
inaily organized as q purely business
association it has expanded in purpose
to include all phases of community
and civic welfare. The weekly noon
day luncheons have become the town
forum where free speech and open
handed dealings are employed on all
public questions, large and small,
which arise in the community. It has
secured for Hays the most modern,
business-like and efficient system of
city government-the Commission
Manager form. In order to encour-
age thrift and enable persons of small
means to become home owners, it or
ganized the Hays Building & Loan
Association, which is now in opera
ton. It has kept up systematic, CO.
operative advertising. Last year, a
nationwide contest for a slogan for
Hays was advertised which brought
$50 slogans submitted from 80 states
and Canada, the winner being 'It
Pays to Live in Hays" submitted by
Homer Talbot, Princeton, N. J. It
has kept watchful eye for conven-
tions with such success that for the
last year and a half Hays has become
widely thought OF as a Convention
town. But the most notable, all
community enterprise, is the Hays
Music Festival Week which annually
brings to Hays for an entire week,
world famous musicians, and has as
its outstanding feature a community
chorus Of 500 voices, singing HapdePs
Messiah and other oratorios. The
Chamber is now engaged in an en-
deavor to bring to Hays, a new,
modern, up-to-date hotel, several new
manufactures adapted to this COM
munity, and is formulating city plan
to insure intelligent, healthy develop
ment instead of the usual, hap-hazard
method of city growth. Membership
is open to everyone without distinc-
tion.-Goodland Republic.

Trinidad, Colo, June 15.--Ro-
senda Martinez, 80. a coal miner OF
Bear Canon, was shot and Instantly
killed about $3.50 last night as he
sat in the doorway OF his home.
His right shoulder and neck wero
riddled with large caliber buck

by the open back door removing
his clothes to retire for the night
when the shots were fired. Fell
over on the floor dead. The slayer
left no trace and a search continued
throughout the night was unavail-
ing

Martinez was an aftermath of n
previous shooting affray last Feb

nights shooting shot and seriously
wounded Joe Ferrero, an Italian
ranchman. Martinez was under
bond awaiting trial in the district
court here for shooting Ferrero
when he was killed.

Much was said about democracy.
No Bolshevist sentiment was ex-
pressed at all. These Germans pro-
fessed great distrust of Poland s
foreign policy which they dec ar d
to be imperialistiC. They conceded
that Poland now was nominaliy So
cial-demOcratic, but they asserted
that the Poles were such an un-
stable people that their policy was
likely to change over night.
German Upper Silesians want TO
remain with democratic Germany y
they said. German workmen want
to settle down to work and restore
German industries. They want to
show the world that Germany can
fulfill the obligations of the peace
treaty. But the war indemnify

Dlsmayed At Possibility of
Upper SiIeSia Being Add

tsr MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wlstl
Oppeln, Upper Silesia, June 15.-v
German workmen in the plebiscite
zone are tremendously excited over
the election. Jealous patriots are
flrm in the belief that. Germany
soon will be on its feet again, they
are dismayed at the possibility OF
Upper Silesa being added to Po-
land. Ruin of industry, and an ir-
remediable setback to German la
Dor in the district is the dark pic
ture they paint of Polish victory.
Seeking the views of Upper Sill
esian workmen on the plebiscite,
the correspondent asked the editor
of an Oppeln newspaper to arrange
a meeting with labor leaders, The
editor got together a dozen, all
German. Here are the principal
points of their arguments:
Alliance with Poland would be
a catastrophe for Upper Silesian
workmen as they would be de-
prived of the benefit of German
social and labor legislation, such
as workmen's insurance and COM
pensation acts and the employees
representation in the operation of
industrial and commercial con-
Cern.
Poland is an agricultural coun-
try and backward socially and
economically. Lacking industries
the Poles have had little experience
in the scientific management of
mines and factories. Even in agri-
culture the Poles still use the most
primitive methods and implements,
In their unskillful hands the high
ly complicated industrial mechan-
ism of Upper Silesia would be
ruined.
polish labor is underpaid. Up
per Silesia, compared to Poland, is
a labor paardise. If it becomes
part of Poland, Poles would flock
in and overrun the country, reduc-
ing wage and working standards
and forcing the Germans out of
employment,
IF Upper Silesia becomes Po-
lish it goes with the east. If it stays
German it goes with the west and
its people will follow in the path Of
