The executive council of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor is busy get
ting ready to start a great movement
for the "humanization of industry"
Its main demand will be that union
contracts with employers shall include
provisions for the appointment of COM
mittees of employees to cooperate
with factory owners in the manage
ment of production. The program also
calls for a renewal of the fight on the
open shop. Among, its other features
are:
Repeal of existing laws and opposi-
ton to proposed laws requiring COM
pulsory arbitration of industrial dis
putes.
Opposition to laws restricting the
right of workers to quit work when
conditions are not satisfactory.
Enactment of legislation restricting
immigration from all parts Of the
world, especially central and south
eastern Europe, for four years at
least.
A campaign Of Americanization,
especially in the coal fields and in in
dustries where foreigners are en-
plQyed, to offset influence Of political
theorists not In harmony with the
present system of government.
An upholding Of wage standards as
long as the dollar remains at half the
purchasing mark of the pre-war dol
lar.
In pursuance Of its policies, the ex-
ecutive council is eliminating as many
of the ultra-radical leaders in the
ranks Of union labor as it can. Among
these is John Fitzpatrick, bitter foe Of
Gompers, whom the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor continues to elect as its
president. 9:ss.c ~ - '7';'' r r. =

LOWER PRICES AID BUSINESS
Demand for Merchandise Shows Mod.
crate Increase-Cotton Mills
CurtaiI Production.

New York, Nov. 22.- Dun's Review
of November 10, says: Certain
changes for the better have appeared
in business. The Improvement is
slight, and none at all is visible in
various quarters, but some of the in
dications are more favorable than in
recent weeks. While immediate COM
er conditions in the future are fore
shadowed. Demand for seasonable
goods has moderately increased, and
offerings of merchandise at lower
prices seems to be meeting with a
somewhat broader response. A de-
cline in October. building permits does
not mark new development but the
decrease-10.9 per CENTS larger than
has been witnessed in recent months
Narrowing of the disproportion be.
| tween the prices of Independent steel
companies and those Of the leading

nearly everywhere has receded. Signs
Of improvement in the leather trade
have not been wholly lacking, and {
better feeling has developed in tht
East from the fact that some large
buyers have made inquiries. A little
more activity has also appeared in thu
West.
Development of a somewhat broad
er inquiry and demand for dry good
appeared this week, though price con
cessions are still necessary to stimu
late buying. With curtailment of cot
ton production at mill centers increas
ing steadily, less than 100000 bale
of raw cotton were consumed in thi
country last month. For the sixtl
| consecutive week bank clearings dis

ures, this weeks total of $7,976,S30

ing II lfr cent less than the CORE
spending period of 1919. The exhibi
is again decidedly against this year
showing loss of 10 per cent.

ALLIES ARMY TO WILMA
League of Nations Army Is Officially
Created at Geneva-Troops to
Maintain Order.

Geneva, No. 19.-The League of
Nations army was officially created
by the political section of the league.
Great Britain, France, Spain and Bel
gium have already notified the league
that they will dispatch troops to vii
no to maintain order during the pleb-
iscite.
The name of the commander of the
expedition of the league army is with
held for the present.
1t is expected that other nations
will be induced to send contingents to
the force which the lobby gossip here
credits with being the nucleus of a
real league army"
The chief significance of the meas.
ure is found in the fact that Spain
who kept out Of the World war, has
been dragged into armed Intervention
in support of numerous little expedf
tions resulting from the war.

granted that the victorious party, of
which Gounaris is the head, would re-
call Constantine to the throne, though
he says he will not return except by
mandate of the Greek people in pleb-
iscite. Probably a majority of the
civil population would vote for the res

of the army would oppose it if given
chance to vote. There is even some
talk of the troops in Asia Minor re-
turning to prevent the recall of Con-
stantine by force. This presumably
would precipitate civil war. France
and England have been holding con-
versations over the Greek situation,
but it was stated neither would act

National Union Urges Nation
Wide HoIdup of All Products
From Farms.
SEE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS
Ban Ordered on Selling Until Prices
Reach "Profit-Making Levels"-Re-
duction of Production Threatened
Unless Prices Are Adjusted.

Kansas City, No, Nov. 20.-A nation
wide producers strike to combat the
falling prices of farm products was
urged in call sent out by the Ma
tional Farmers union to it's local
unions throughout the country.
The call, in the form of q resolution
adopted at the national convention of
the organization here, went forward
to secretaries of local branches of the
organization, which represent produc-
ers of grain, cotton, wool and live
stock, said to number 100000.
The proposed strike was urged in
retaliation for what the convention
considered abnormal defation in
prices of farm products, through
which it was asserted American farm
ers have been robbed of $1,000, 100000
in reduced value of products now
on hand. All farmers were appealed
to to hold this years production from
the markets until "proft-making lev
els" were restored.
The action of the National Farmers
union was in line with wheat strike
called several weeks ago by the Wheat
Growers Association of the United
States. Delegates asserted a consider
able quantity of this years wheat crop
was being held off the market.
Reduction of production in the fu-
ture was threatened "unless the prices
of our products are fairly readjusted
TO the end that we may obtain just
returns for our labors and invest.
ments'' is another resolution approved
! by the convention.
Officials of the organization pointed
out that members were not under obi
cation to obey the terms of the strike
but expressed the belief that such &
movement would be effective.
A conference of representatives o.
all farmers organizations of the coun
try was called to meet in st. Louis De
cember 16 to consider the creation o.
a national farm marketing board.

Certain German officials have told a
Berlin correspondent that Germany
would not now accept membership in
the league if 1t were offered; that she
now contemplates demanding a new
peace conference, or at least an inter-
probation and revision of the existing
treaty favorable to her claims. Berlin
holds that q definite sum for repara-
tions must be fixed, and feels that the
coal delivery demands are too severe
and are the sole cause for unemploy-
ment and labor disturbances in Ger
many. The Germans also hope that
the Danzig corridor will be restored to
them, and that they will be given some
colonial mandatories.

An interesting story from Munich
sets forth the imminence of new rev.
olution in Bavaria which is to make an
independent state of that second larg-
est state of the German confederation
and the creation Of regency, proba-
bly, to be followed by the selection Of
one of the Wittelsbach family as king.
1t is planned, also, that Bavaria shall
enter into an agreement with France
to guarantee her independence and OBJ
tain relief from her part Of the Ger
man war burden. The story, which Is
plausible, says the real ruler of Ba-
varia is Doctor Escherich, founder of
the Bavarian home militia, whose
armed strength is about 100000; that
he is backed by the former German
staff officers and monarchists, chief of
whom is General Ludendorff, and that
Ludendorff probably would be chosen
regent. Escherich has refused to dis
arm his militia, and it is expected the
entente win soon threaten to- occupy
the Ruhr basin in consequence. When
this Is done, according to the plot, the
workers. socialists and communists
win declare q general strike and in the
ensuing conflict the coup detat will
be accomplished.

Seven More Men Arrested at
Council BIuffS-Loot Found
in Chicken House.
ONE OF THIEVES CONFESSES
TWO Negroes Held in Connection With
Great Train Robbery-Federal
Officers Say Case Is Now
Completed.

Council Bluffs. Ia, Nov. 22.-Seven
more arrests, one confession, the re-
covery of a large amount of money,
all in $40 bills, and the discovery OF
On automobile have resulted in the
clearing up of the mystery surround
ing the S3,5O0,O0O mail car robbery in
the local yards Saturday night.
Two of the men, T. A Daily and Fl.
A. Reed, are whites, and the others
are negroes.
The money was recovered from the
chicken house of the Daily home, fol-
lowing the confession Of Reed. Reed
rooms at the Daily home.
The negroes arrested are. members
of the John Bell family and are held
in connection with one mail sack not
yet recovered.
Reed was arrested at Z 80 o'clock
last night, following his implication in
the case by Fred Poffenbarger. He
was taken to the federal building and
put through a severe grilling and at
length gave information which led to
the arrest of DAILY, at whose home he
had been living.
The money, which was recovered by
the investigators with the arrest Of
DAILY and Reed, was in ten-dollar bills,
but officials this morning had not made
public the total amount.
Federal officials announced that the
case had now been completed to all
intents and purposes. The ten persons
under arrest will be given a hearing
before United States Commissioner W.
A. Byers. They are now in the tower
of the federal building.
The car, Maxwell, was found in a
rented garage but few blocks from
the scene of the robbery. The number
on the engine had been tampered with.
1t appears now that Reed was the
brains of the gang. Reed and DAILY are
each forty-fve years Of age. Daily has
been working at the Omaha Grain ex-
change but Reed has been unemployed
the last few weeks.
Mrs. DAILY insists that Reed was al
the DAILY home the night of the rob.
berry. Developments seem to show
that he was leader Of the gang, with
Poffenbarger as his lieutenant, and
that the latter with Phillips did the
work.
According to Mrs. DAILY, who is the
wife of the man under arrest, Poffen
barger brought the money to theil
home early Sunday morning wrapped
in packages as currency is handled al
banks.
Il asked them if. that was the money
taken at the robbery Saturday night
but they just laughed. 1 said I wa!
going to have company during the aft
ernoon, and didn't want any officers
coming in. Then they went out to the
garage and hid the stuff in a sack.
''I overheard them say that they hat
burned everything in the sacks but tn,
currency.
THAT evening my husband movet
the money from the garage to tn,
chicken coop.
"Next morning Fred Poffenbarge
came to our home and took ava,
about $4,000, saying, I'm going to ge
honest-to-goodness money. I'm afrai,
this stuff is marked

case. He and Mr.. Reed were hom
