had empties aboard although the

beer leaking from the rear of the
truck. One truck driver when

TRAINMEN TO MEET SOON
IN WAGE MOVEMENT

CLEVELAND, Aug. 13.-(By The
Associated Press) ).-Approximately
$50 general chairmen of the east
ern, western, southeastern and Cana
dian associations of general COM
mittees, Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen, have been
called to convene in special session
at Chicago, September 6, "for the
purpose of giving consideration to
the question of inaugurating a wage
movement" according to the official
circular mailed to all members of
associations of general committees,
d. B. Robertson, president Of the
brotherhood announced today.
Mr.. Robertson said he understood
T. G. Cashen, president of Switch
mems Union of North America,
would convene all his general chair
men in Chicago at the same time To
inaugurate a movement for increased
wages.
Warren S. stone, president OF the
Brotherhood of Engineers, when
asked If his general chairmen would
join the firemen in a joint request
for increased wages said that the
laws of his organization did not call
for the convening of general chair
men to inaugurate a wage move
ment. as did the rules of the other
brotherhoods, and that no similar
action was contemplated at present
The amount of the pay increases
to be asked of the railroads would
be determined by the general chair
men, Mr.. Robertson said.
The firemen were given a cut OF
approximately 12h per cent by
the U. S. Railroad Labor Board OF
July 1, 1921, he said. Whether thii
would be the amount Of the increas'

SAY GERMANS
To STOP PAYING
Stoppage Of ReparationS Con-
tributionS to be Extended
to All Allies

LONDON, Aug. 1S.-(By The
Associated Press)-The German
government has announced, says a
Central News dispatch from Berlin
that the stoppage of reparation
contributions to France and Bel
cium will be extended to all the al
lies, as otherwise the financial re-
form of Germany is impossible.
PARIS, Aug. 13:-The French
foreign office will issue tonight or
tomorrow a yellow book on repar-
ations, containing all the documents
relating TO that question that have
been exchanged UP to the latest
British note, which arrived too late
to be included.
The British note is regarded in
French official circles as a positive
disavowal of Great Britain's war
allies and a frank espousal of the
German cause. It is thought Premier
Poincare will reply in due time, al
though at the Quai D'Orsay it is held
the document smacks so much OF
propaganda it might properly be lg-
nored.
This amazing document proposes
to haul France and Belgium before
a tribunal to answer for their enorts
to make Germany carry out her
treaty obligations" said an official
of the foreign office today. France
and Belgium are not ready to ans
wer such a summons, even from
Great. Britain"
The French reply-if a reply Is
sent-will but reaffirm the position
of this country as repeatedly SET
forth heretofore, the official de-
clared. France, he said, would never
consent to the British demand that
Germany pay less and that France
pay more, which is the official inter-
pretation here of the statement IN
the note that Great Britain must col
lect s14,5OO, 100000 gold marks and
that. If she does not receive that sum
from Germany. she must get it from
the Allies.

DUSSELDORF, Aug. IS: (By The
Associated Press)-Disorders during
the weekend, accompanied by COM
siderable plundering of food stores
and some bloodshed were reported
today from various parts Of the oc-
cupied territory.
The most serious trouble was at
Gelsenkirchen, where two civilians
were killed and from fifteen to twen-

quire hospital treatment. "a Ber-
lin dispatch last night said one pu-.
liceman and five demonstrators had
been killed. and ten wounded in dis
orders at Rotthausen, near Gelseu-

While outwardly calm has been
restored here, it is feared trouble

the food shortage.

Manchester, April 30th.-Mr, LLOYD
George, addressing a liberal meeting,
said the uncertainty of making a liueIi-
hood in which millions Of workers find
themselves is mainly responsible for the
growth of socialism in Great Britain.
Outlining what he conceived the liberal
programme to be, he declared that i'm
mediate attention should be given to the
general status OF the workers. adding
that no programme could be complete
without proposal for Wiping out the
great waste caused by alcohol. Refer
ring to traffic protection he said he was
sure that when the present parliament
comes to an end the country would be
plunged into the greatest fight ever
known for the existence of free trade.

New York, April 30th.-The Italian
lemon crop has been greatly damaged

according to a cablegram just received

third of the production is not suitab'e.

gal. Raw sugar futures were Steadier
at the opening and showed advances of

but the advance met increased offerings
and prices broke, under renewed lIquida-
ton by commission houses, with prices

ship officials are arranging a meeting
for the earliest possible moment, to
adopt a definite policy. Ii is believed
this meeting will be held in Liverpool

indication that the companies would defy
the ruling, the meeting is expected to
plan a common policy fer defending the

the vunard Line told a correspondent
today that the idea of unloading the
LIQUOR from their boats at lne American
three mile limit and then loading up
again on ire return trip is impracucable
and just a bic fantastic. Floating store
shIps could be stationed outside the three
mile limit, bat 1t would cost such a sun
OF money that the scheme probably would
not prove profitable. There is also a re-

It's life. Nothing could DO further
from the real truth than that. I will
promise this: that under ordinary
circumstances a railroad will bring
into a town SO for every 81 It takes
out. That Will be true in the case of
Casper.
II would like to cite one instance
Of what a railroad can do for a town.
or a city. To my personal knowledge
Reliance, s. D., was as dead as King
Tut.ankh.Amen before the Milwaukee
developed the feld. II was a barren.
desolated land, good for nothing much
apparently but stock grazing. and its
Impoverished Inhabitants used to dig
water holes for the stock. II was
quite az unproductive as thousands OF
wyoming's arid acres. Today Re
lance is n prosperous and progress

country is acre upon acre OF waving
wheat and productive farm land.
Mr.. calkins sees a wonderful de
velopment already in Casper. He was
here six months ago. and expressed
himself rs both amazed and delighted
with tho way in which the city hal
grown and developed in ever tina
