Hammer Sought

Yesterday the ploice of all South

aid in finding Fred Hammer, report
ed missing from this city, and be-
ieved to have met with an accident
or foul play while on a trip to the
mountains.
Today the request for police aid
still holds good, but this time the
authorities want to find the missing

ing bad checks.

straight and narrow path. When he
failed to show up for work at the
FL Centre Trading and Lumber com
pany Monday his employers, Pat -
Glasgow and G. l. Collins became
very much worried.
They enlisted The aid Of news
papers and the police to find the
aged man. Yesterday in the course
of their questioning various people
they found out that Hammer had
passed several checks which they
knew he should not have had. 1t
developed that he had torn a page
containing three blank checks from
the firm 5 check hook, and forging
Collins name TO them, succeeded in
passing them in three local places
of business. Then he disappeared.
"We had implicit faith in Ham

ties to acquire much more money
than what he received on the checks
and never gave any indication that
he was not strictly honest.
Hammer is described as 20 years
old, though appearing much Young

August II Named
AS Valley Day
At Exposition

The FL Centre Chamber of Com
mercc has decided to endorse Impc-
rial Valley Day at the Pacific
Southwest Exposition, which occurs
on Sunday, August 18th, at the
great Long Beach fair, and to lend
its cooperation in every way to
make the day a great success and
to reflect credit upon FL Centre and
other parts of Imperial Valley.
President Uctzel, or the local cham
Der, has sent communications to all
the other chambers of commerce, of
fering to cooperate with them in
the fulfilmcnt of any plans they
may have made for the sending of
delegations to Long Beach on that
date. If sufficient persons indicate
their willingness to attend, the To-
cal chamber will arrange for u cara
van to travel to the beach city. But
whether FL Centre residents desire
to visit the Exposition in a body, or
prefer to travel singly or in family
groups, the ri Centre Chamber of
Commerce is very anxious that this
city and all of Imperial Valley be
well represented on the Valley 5
special day.
Imperial county has expended
scme thousands of dollars to pre-
pare and maintain an exhibit at the
Long Beach exposition, and the val
ne and effectiveness of the same
will be much increased if Imperial
Valley folk are there in large num-
bers ON their own special day.
Officials of the Exposition advise
that Sunday, August l2th, will be
one of the biggest and most import
ant days of the entire period of the
fair. Both Italy and Japan are also
having their days on August 18th,
and both countries are arranging for
elaborate programs both in the aft
ernoon and evening.
Those valley people who have not
already visited the Long Beach FIX
position are being urged by the
chamber Of commerce and the expo
sition officials to attend on August
12th, for the exposition runs but
three weeks longer after that date,
closing its gates on September 3.

has developed into the largest

Geneva, Sept. 7th.- Efforts to drag the
United States into discussions OF the
Rhineland occupation were frOwned on
today in public statements by Chancellor
Mueller of Germany. He said chat Ger
many wished to avoid, above all, any sem
blance of a united front against the
United States by linking Inter Allied debt
and reparatlOn3 with the evacuation OF
the Rhineland. He explained that Germa-
ny before the end of the next week, was
to attend a conference of delegates re-
presenting countries which have troops
in the Rhineland. Such a.conference, he
said, would include Italy despite the
fact that there are no Italian troops of
occupation. Chancellor Mueller recalled
the fact that Foreign Minister BRAND
had declined to discuss the withdrawal
of troops without the participation of 9TH
er interested nations. For this reason he
supposed that the French Government
would take the initiative 10 summonlng
a conference. He said that if the question
of reparatiOn payments should be raised
in connection with evacuation, be would
insist on the fixation of a lump sum to be
paid by Germany. Credited to this total
he declared must be those payments in
kind already made. such as ships and Saar
Valley coal.

Swansea, Sept 7th. Trade unionism
took an important new direction policy
after six hours debate, voted by 300,
Councils endorsement last year of Mon
dism''. ''MOndism" is the name applied
to a policy by the new Lord MeIchett, by
which a clio err cooperation of capital and
labour is sought. Todays one sided vote
followed an imprisoned fight by oppo-
nents of the policy. Immediately after
the voting on the approval of the General
Council endorsement, another was taken
on an amendment to refer the question
back to the General Council, but it was
defeated by a majority almost as great. In
opening, the General Secretary of the
Congress claimed the councils action was
a logical and commonsense step, in line
with the world development of unions.
He reminded the Congress that in the
negotiations with Sir Alfred MOnd it was
definitely stipulated there would be no
interference either with the right to
strike or lockout. He added that the
World Trade Unionism movement stood
now for the voice of the worker in con
troll of industry and of its being heard in
the councils of employers. The OppO-
nents of the plan however, took the stand
that there would be no trafficking with
capitalism" and said that the General
Council had exceeded its authority. The
Rt Hon ]. H. Thomas Herbert Smith and
other great leaders of the movement.
strongly supported the council. 1t is un-
derstood that the next step in the direc-
ton of the councils Bction will be the
setting up of machinery to effect such
cooperation of labour and capital. This
is likely to be preceded by Cancellation
with the two chief bodies representing
the employers.

All restrictions affecting traffic on
Chain Bridge will likely be removed
next Monday, following such a
recommendation today by Capt. II.
C. Whitehurst. Assistant Engineer
Commissioner in charge of bridges.
The Virginia abutment of the
bridge has been completed, and IT
waS learned today the District will
have a balance of several thousand
dollars out Of the original appropria-
ton of $4,000 from Congress for
that purpose. The saving was eff
fecfed largely through the fact tliat
Captain Whitehurst was able to get
heavy construction equipment from
the War Department at Muscle
Shoals.
The new flooring for the bridge
will be laid in October under present
plans, but the bridge will be kept
open for traffic at that time.
The first of the steel traffic treads
for the Highway Bridge were laid to-
day and plans are to have ten treads
on the bridge. The steel treads, Cap
tain Whitehurst believes. have solved
the problem OF bridge flooring over
which street cars operate.
