NEW CRISIS IN THE
 PEACE CONFERENCE
ALLIES HAND GERMANY AN UL. TIMATUM ON DISARMAMENT
 DEMAND.

Spa, Beiium The joint allied. German conference Qp the terms of the peace treaty reached another crit ical point. The Germans have until certain hour to say whether they will accept the Franco-British plan of disarmament. The alternative is con tained in the specific threat that the allies will occupy Ruhr and other ter ritory if Germany cannot or does not accept,
 :, The German cabinet, of which sew en of the nine members are here, held a meeting which continued from 5: 15 o'clock in the afternoon until g.. No decision was reached, and the council adjourned until o'clock the next morning.
 The prevailing view among the Germans was that the allies had car ried their demands, particularly the menace of occupying further German territory, much beyond any provision of the Versailles treaty, and also that the allies are taking up an aggressive position not contemplated by any clause of the treaty.
 The allied disarmament note was communicated to Berlin early in the day at Chancellor Fehrenbach's re- quest, with the direction that it be submitted to the Reichstag and to the leaders of all parties, whether sup porters of the government or the op- position. Herr Fehrenbach asked the view of the Reichstag and the party leaders, but said the decision would rest with the cabinet at Spa.
 Private negotiations are reported going on between Premiers Lloyd George and Millerand on one hand andDr. Simons of the Germans, but this could not be clearly established.
 The allied decision concerning dis armament reads:
 If on October l the German army is not reduced to 150,000 the allies will proceed to occupy German terri. tory in the E2uhr or any other part of German territory and will not evac uate it until all conditions of the pres ent agreement have been fulfilled"

4 CENTURY OF ANTHRACITE
First Ton of Hard Coal Reached the City Of Philadelphia Just One
 Hundred Years Ago.

An even hundred years have elapsed since one William Wurts. a Phladel- Rhia merchant, drove his team of mules with the first ton of anthracite through the spring freshets and bog land to the banks of the Delaware river and fioated the new fuel down the river to Philadelphia on a pine log raft.
 HIt he experienced no little difTl- eulty in that first anthracite year of 1920 In overcoming the popular objec- ton that the coal was "extremely slow Of lighting" Pine log rafts fioated only 365 tons of anthracite that year. But it fetched a price of SIP ton and could be delivered freight-on-raft Philadelphia at $3a fact that was freely advertised to attract additional capital. for, of course, there was no proflteering in those days.
 Spring freshets and bog land and slow intlammabilitH no longer worry operators. Silk shirts for miners are q bigger nuisance. But production in hundred years has juatped to S6,- 100000 tons, and could this year SUP pass the 100 million-ton mark, which was almost reached in 1917.

SOME VERY ENCOURAGING FEAT URES IN ARKANsAS AGRICUL-
 TURAL OUTLOOK.
CORN IS IN GOOD CONDITION
Report Should Be Measuring To Those Who Feared a Food Short age, Danger of Which Is Greatly
 Lessened at This Time.

Little Rock.-There are some very encouraging features in our agricul- tural outlook, according to the July Crop Report just issued by the De partment of Agriculture, and released for the State of Arkansas through the Cooperative Crop Reporting Service. The report should be reasuring to those who feared food shortage, the danger of which is now happily much Iessened despite the poor wheat out look The large increases in rice, the prospective good crops of otas and hay, the promising apple crop, the 1n- crease in sorghum for syrup and the good condition of the national corn crop, though 1t shows iessened acre age and general lateness in this state, in the country at large it shows slight increase over the crop of year ago and a condition fully up to the average, are things which must offset in a large degree the shortage 1n wheat and our arlier fruit crops. Sweet potatoes are practically up to last years average, and Irish potatoes less than 5 per cent below, and with this latter crop it is possible that heavy fall planting will bring the acreage up to last year, which, now ever. was too small for the needs Of the country considering the shortened yield.

EXPLOSIONS CAUSED BY DUST
investigation Has Proved That Grain ls by No Means the Only De-
 structlve Agent.

When the bureau of chemistry Of the United States department of agri- culture started investigations with the object of reducing fires and explosions caused by dust in the grain elevators and mills 1t was not long before the experts realized these fires and explo- sions were by no means confined to the grain business. These dust-explo- sion Investigations are having q wide influence, which has extended to many industries. Aluminium dust, starch and even fish meal. by-product of fish canneries, have all been found susceptible to the conditions which produce disastrous explosions.
 The latest development goes to prove that the mysterious "blow sacks" so well known to f1remen are in some cases caused by dust With the knowledge of this fact as q guide many fatal accidents may be avoided. The firemen of America find the mat ter of sufficient importance to war rant their cooperation with the de partment of agriculture in a study of preventive methods.
 The subject was taken up by ste National Firemen's association at their twenty-second annual convention at Peoria, Rl Engineers engaged in the dust-explosion investigations rep resented the department of agriculture t4 sseA meeting, hL

Air Commodore Edward Maitland of R-34 fame, speaking at the Royal So- ciety of Arts, said that while flygRg the Atlantic he retired about 9 a. m., and he was ashamed to say he slept until nine the next day. He found that the air not only induced sleep but sharpened the appetite. Ladies had often asked him. the commodore said, "In what should we dress when about to take an aerial fiight?" He felt tempted to suggest crinolines, which would become very useful as parachutes should the necessity arise. London Chronicle.

MICHAELS STERNS co,
GIVEN 100000 IN
SUIT VERSUS union

ROCHESTER. n. Y, June 19.-Just-
ice Adolph ]. Rodenveck today handed
down decision sustaining the Mich
aelS-Stern Clothing company, Of this
city, in its suit versus the Amalg-
amated Clothing Workers Of America
for permanent injunction and $780,
coo damages.
The suit grew out OF an attempt by
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of
America to organize employees of
Michaels, Stern & company, a Roches-
ter concern making mems clothing,
and to negotiate an agreement with
the company on their behalf.
The attempt was made after the
amalgamated already had agreements
with other large Rochester clothing
factories and with many of the large
clothing factories in the principal
mems clothing centers of the United
States and Canada.
Is Called Test Case.
The case attracted wide attention
because Of the expectation that it
would serve as test case to determine
how far a labor union was justified in
applying economic pressure against an
employer, and what means lawfully
might be used by a union in enforcing
its purposes.
The amalgamated called a strike of
its members employed in the Michaels,
Stern & company factory on July 25,
1919, after the company had refused to
recognize it as the representative of
its employees. The company invited
the United Garment Workers to organ
ize its employees and entered into an
agreement covering working condi-
tions with it as its employees repre-
sentatives.
From the time Of the calling Of the
strike until October the strikers, re-
inforced by Amalgamated members en-
ployed in other Rochester clothing fac
tories, picketed the factories OF Mich
aels, Stern & company and some of
the shops of contractors who did work
for the company. The company
charged that its employees were sub
jected to verbal abuse. actual assaults
and threats" and its business was un-
lawfully interfered with.
Applies for Injunction.
In October it applied to Supreme
Court Justice Adolph J. Rodenveck for
an injunction restraining the union
members from the acts alleged. and
was granted a temporary writ. Early
this year application was made to the
court to have the temporary injunction
made permanent and asking for
100000 as reimbursement for dam
ages alleged to have been done to its
business by the unions activities.
The sole issue raised. according to
the company's counsel, was whether
the law will protect Michaels, Stern &
company and its employees from verb
2l abuse, actual assaults and threats.
and unlawful interference with its
business"
According to counsel for the union,
the legal questions raised were:
Whether the enforcement Of collective
bargaining was a legal object, and
whether the means employed to en-
force it were lawful.

NO BIDS ARE MADE
TO IMPROVE Sc. ST.

Plans for the improvement of South
E street, east of Fifth street, and its
continuation, the Benjamin Foreman
road, from Sixteenth street to the
Henley road, were abandoned when
both the city board Of public works
and the board of county commission
ers, acting for Wayne township, failed
to receive bids for the Improvement,
which called for a concrete roadway
the entire length of the proposed i'm
provements and for cement curbs and
cutters within the city limits. The
imp rovement was to have been made
under the three-mile road law.
1t was stated by a county official
that contractors hesitated to submit
bids for the reason that they might
not be able to dispose of the bonds
for the improvement in an advanta ge-
Gus manner. 1t is said that the best
offer for the proposed bonds, which
were to bear interest at the rate Of
four and half per cent, made by any
bank was SS%, or 11b under par val
ue 1t is said that the interest the
bonds was to bear was not attractive
in investors.

TRIES. FOR WILLIAMS
LIFE, But MISSES. IS
RUM0R, BUT DENIED
(RV a ASSOciated PreSSN


DOORN, Holland, June 19.--An at
tempt against the life of former En-
peror William of Germany was made
at o'clock Wednesday afternoon, ac-
cording to persistent rumors here.
Details of the reported attempt are
veled in mystery, but it is asserted
that William escaped without injury.
A villager, at first thought to be a
Belgian, but later identified as a Ger
man. is said to have entered the cas-
tie by the use of false permit and
then tried to kill Count Hohenzollern-
NJ. Pereboom, private secretary to
the former Emperor, assured the
attack had been made on William
Hohenzollern.
Dispatches received on Thursday
night reported a Belgian who sue
ceeded in gaining admittance to Doom
castle, the residence Of William of
Hohenzollern, had attacked the former
Emperor and wounded him in the jaw.
Since that time the report has been
current that an attack had been made
but no confirmation Of it has been re-
ceived.
A Berlin dispatch received Friday
night stated a newspaper at Baden
had learned from a trustwo worthy
source that Count Hohenzollern was
critically i'll, but there was no intima-
ton his condition was the result Of
an attack upon him

MONTREAL, June 19.-Denver
Colo, was selected by the American
Federation of Labor here today for its
1921 convention.
Determination of the federation's 5
attitude toward the league Of nations
was the principal issue on the last day
of the federation's 40th annual con-

Consideration of the league was to
have come up yesterday but was
crowded off the program by pressure
of other business, principally the
election of officers, when Samuel
Gompers was chosen for the thirty
ninth time as the federation leader
Irish sympathizers were active in
marshalling their forces to oppose en-
dorsement of the league without reser-
vatiOns. The reports committee, how
ever, is said to have prepared COM
promise recommendation which they
hope will be acceptable to both the
Gompers supporters and the Irish
sympathizers.

drawn to the lines they occupied on
April 20, where the third and seventh

Warsaw showed the Polish front was

parties toward Warsaw. Since then
