Bolivia have been diplomatically warned

has appealed to Paraguay and Bolivia
to accept a commission of inquiry and
arbitration of their conflict.
The council emphasized that its only
purpose was to settle the dispute. Set

the frontier between the two nations.

traitors cannot be named by agreement
the councils report said, the council
itself will select them.

shifts and we only wish we had more
plants" He said the manufacture oi
80 beer was responsible.

w. M Lorenz, Cleveland, chairman
of the Steel Committee-"I had prepared
very dismal report for the April Is

a decrease in business, but instead, re-
port an increase There not only is a
tremendous increase in the manufac-
ture of small cars, but there is satis-
factory stimulus in the higher priced
cars. There is a probability that in
June and July there will be more
activity than in May, when 100000
units were turned out. The beauty of
it is the cars are being sold as fast as
they are turned out. 1t is not a matter
of turning out automobiles with the
hope of selling them
H. E. McGivernon, Lansing, Mich,
chairman of the Automobile Accessories
Committee-"My report for April 19

lieve it will continue through July"

the Coal and Ore Committee-"We ex-
pect to move by lake 27,50o,0 tons OF
coal this year, as compared to 25 600, 900
