Geneva, as published here, grants
Germany none Of her demands, but
on the contrary draws the circle Of

German frontiers.
Under the agreement, Great Britain
agrees to act with France in any
military move on Germany's western
frontier. England also agrees TO Po-
lands retention of her present front

eastern frontiers be extended.
In return, she is ordered by the
allied proposal, to conclude a similar
treaty with Poland, under the super
vision OF the league of nations, guar
anteeing Poland, which is under
French influence, Danzig and Upper

Germany has never given up her

had declared that Germany must do
this.

SPRINGFIELD, H., June s-The
senate today passed the Dunlap state
police bill, providing for a force OF
700 mounted cossaeks to be available
for strIkebreakins duty, by vote Of
% to 8.
The Dunlap bill is the original
measure defeated and backed by the
Illinois Bankers association, the ILL

state chamber Of commerce, and
other organizations of big business.
The house will rush action on the
Dunapl police bill, while the Barr bill,
creating a similar force under the
direct control Of Governor Small, is
allowed to die in committee. Small
arranged with the manufacturers to
allow his bill to die and pass the Dun

general STRIKE
AGAINST lands
AWARD LOOMING
Workers Lose Jobs in
AsphGIt-Cement War

The building trades workers Of Chi
caso may call q general strike on all
construction work against the "open
shop" Lands award jobs, where union
men are forced to work with nonun-
Ion workers on the same construction
jobs.
At the same time. the cement and
tile manufacturers and the brickfnak-
ers are battling In the city council
for the use of their material in con-
struction Of building walls. The brick
makers have so far prevented an
amendment to the building code which
would allow the use of hollow tile.
DeVer With Brickmakers.
Not long ago the building and zon-
ing committee of the city council ia
vored the use of hollow tile, and such
an ordinance was passed. But Mayor
Dever, who is in league with the
brickmakers, refused to sign it. Now
William Schlake, president Of the ILL
nois Brick company, which has a
monopoly on brickmaking, has the
backing Of the council committee to
such an extent that his secretary
writes UP the minutes Of the city coun-
ell committees meetings.
Workers Laid of.
The same sort Of fight is going on
as to whether asphalt or cement shall
be used to pave the city streets John
]. Sloan, head of the board Of local
improvements of the city, who owns
interests in cement companies, is try
ing to drive the asphalt companies
out, and is endeavoring to have ce-
ment used to pave the streets.
Sloan is said to have big interests
in the granite and crushed stone com
panies. He owns, according to re
ports, holdings in cement plants at La
Sale, ottawa and Joliet. He is said
to be the dominating force in the
Union Construction company, which is
a cement construction company. He
is also reported to be in league with
the Ready and Callahan cement con-
Germ.
On letting days the board of local
improvements, has, therefore, been let
ting jobs only to these cement COM
panies, and large asphalt construction
companies, such as the American AS
phalt Paving company, the Standard
Paving company, the White Construc-
ton company, are losing city con-
tracts. w.
Work at standstlII.
On the last letting day, only one
small construction Job was Teton S.
Water street from Market to State
street. Men employed by the asphalt
companies have been laid off by the
hundreds, and the fight between the
asphalt and cement companies has
now been taken to the courts.
Meanwhile the building workers are
losing their jobs, and many Of them
have already been unemployed for a
long period.
1t is thot that a general strike of
the building trades workers is for the
purpose of not only abolishing the
open shop" but also of settling these
disputes between the manufacturers,
and sending the men back to work.
