Central LabocUnion Discusses
- Question of Sympathetic
v Walkouts, But No Ac
tion Is Taken.
1
The teamsters' strike was the
principal topic of a long executive
session held by Central Labor union
last night. The hall rang with loud
oratory that at times became fierce
ly denunciatory of the employers.
Several speakers declared that the
injunction which is in operation
aaainst the strikers, is illegal.
"Tere's nothing to it at all," one
Sairt.
The result, of 'Mayor Smith's ef
fort to brnij; tojjctlier four repre
sentatives of the strikers and fmir
employers yesterday afternoon at his
dflice was cited an an example of the
alleged attitude of. the firms.
"Before we went up there we
made bets that the employers
wouldn't be there," said one speak
er, "and sure enough, they weren't,
except Gordon; and he has enough
teams out, so he isn't worried. But
we'll show them that they can't
flaunt union labor."
s The question of sypmpathetic
Strikes was taken up, 'but it was
stated after the meeting, no action
was taken toward ordering any more
Strikes.
Orchestra Reports Grievance.
The colored orchestra, headed by
Lawrence Parker, which has been
playing at Krug park dancing pavil-ionr-reported
its grievance to the
Central Labor iuuioiw 'Ten clays ago
the orchestra was dismissed by the
Krug park management after the
management had been served with
potice bys. Musicians' union, No. 70,

was refused admission because of
color. Membership was then se
cured in a union in Buxton, la.
The local uni&n, it is charged, re
fused to recognize this union, claim
ing it is not in good standing.
'Mediation Postponed.
Inability to inform Walter
Jardine and W. A. Gordon of the
proposed .meeting between four em
ployers and four'represeritatives of
the teamsters' union forced Mayor
Smith to postpone hit first effort to
mediate . th strike until this after
noon. Four employers and the
strikers conference committee were
to have conferred at the mayor's,
office at 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon. Neither Mr. jardine nor Mr.
Gordon could be found yesterday in
time to attend the meeting.
The first real step toward media
tion in the strike followed a con
ference between the mayor andthe
committee consisting of Chairman
Caldwell and Business Agents
Rooney, Slater and Vaughn.
Members of the committee ex
pressed the opinion that the strike
could be easily settled if the em
ployees agreed to meet a committee
of the strikers. Employers have
persistently refused to meet the
strikers but have expressed a will
ingness to meet their employes.
General Walkout Planned.
A general walkout by all local
unions in the city next Monday is
said to have been threatened.
, Demands for increased wages
were presented by drivers of ice
trucks and wagons to the employers
today. It is understood that unless
the demands are met by Saturday
night a walkout of the 300 or more
drivers will follow.
With more than ISO newly sworn
deputies on guard against violence
by striking teamsters and truck
drivers, an increase- in the number
of vehicles engaged in transporta
tion was evident yesterday.
Increased protection afforded to the
nonunion drivers by the new depu
ties resulted in eliminating a great
deal of the disturbances marking the
first two days of the general strike.
Only one person, Herbert Sprecher.
a 16-year-old lad living at 4367 Bur
dette street, was arrested yesterday.
No violence has been reported to
the police.

Frenchman Says Germany
Unable to Pay Cost of War
Paris, June 20. In discussing the
proposed budget for the coming
year in the chamber of deputies
today, Raoul Peret, had of the bud

possible to expect Germany to meet
the cost of rehabilitating regions de
vastated during the war.
".We do not know now and 'shall
not know for a long time the e
act sum the enemy must pay ,to vic
torious France," h said. "The
treaty of peace gives no precise in

the reparations commission .has the
right even to remit part or all of
Germany's debts."

hjs nomination. Mr. Palmer was
proceeding to take up charges as to
the alleged placing of friends in po
sitions where they might profit by
the sale of enemy property and had
just stated that these charges were
made by Senator Frelinghuysen and
others. when the senator jumped to
his feet. For an instant he and (he
attorney general glared at each oth
er. "You can't bluff me like that," he
senator shouted. "I am a senatoi
of the United States and I demand
that Mr, Palmer answer criticisms
of his administration, .brought be
fore the committee, in a proper
way."
The attorney general snapped
back-that he was not trying to bluff
anybody. "However," he added, "I
will answer to leave Mrr Freling
huysen's name out of it."
When Mr. Palmer concluded his
two-hour statement, Senator Fre
linghuysen told the committee if it
decided to go into the investigation
of the alien property custodian's of
fice he could present witnesses in
support of charges, against his ad
ministration. Complaints had come
tifhim from some of his constitu
ents, he said
Comes Back Strong.
Mr. Palmer came back with the
assertion that Senator Frelinghuy
sen had visited New York detective
agencies to find out if"they did not
have something orrPalmer." He ac
cused the senator of making state
ments to newspapers regarding
charges against- him. Lewis and
Andrews also were accused of giv
ing out statements purporting to be
evidence and distorting the facts.
Andrews, who had been picked
out by the attorney general as one
of the' particular objects of his
wrath, broke" into the hearing at the
close by challenging Mr. Palmer's
statements concerning him. The
room soorf was in an uproar, but
Chairman Dillingham suddenly end
ed the meeting.
Later it was announced the
committee would decide Saturday
whether to issue subpoenas for wit
nesses desired by Lewis and whether
it would grant his request that the
attorney general be required to pre
sent voluminous records.

he saw a dreary stretch of black,

Mascots Obstreperous.
Midnight and nothing to eat; the
cold was biting. About that time
the masegts became obstreperous.
The three dogs contented them
selves with sitting on their haunches
and bowling dismally, telling the
cold stars that they never expected
to see the inside of a kennel again.
But the cat! She went quite mad
and, escaping those who wished to
restrain the ldnatic feline, "shin

cept the independent socialists, ap
parently have split on the question
and the old lines of cleavage have
disappeared.
The centrists, democrats and ma
jority socialists are said to favor
signing.
The general change in opinion is
reflected in the newspapers. The
conservative press is declaring it is
wrong to sign and is inveighing
against the cowardice of the govern
ment. The extreme radical papers
declare the working people want
peace alj any price, while the middle
group say there is. nothing left but
to sign.
Conference circles are cheerful
over the outlook. It is believed that
the signing of the treaty by Ger
many now is assured.
Bernstorff To Sign Treaty,
An unconfirmed report received
here from the army intelligence
bureau at Coblenz, says Count von'
Bernstorff, former German am
bassador to the United States has
been named as minister of foreign
affairs and that he will come to
Versailles to sign the peace treaty.
The Temps, understands that
Mathias Erzberger, if he takes
power in Germany, will ask two
modifications of the peace treaty'.
The first will be the toning down of
the clause concerning responsibility
for the war so as to spare German
susceptibilities, and the second
abandonment of prosecution of the
former emperor.
Plan For Advance.
The supreme council confirmed
Friday the plans made by the mili
tary authorities for resumption of
the advance into Germany in the
event of the failure of the Germans
to sign the peace treaty within the
alotted time.
Marshal Foch, Major General
Bliss, General Robertson of the
British army and other military
chiefs were before the council ar.d
explained the details of the allied
plans. The reports of the fall of
the Scheidemann government had
not reached the council when these
plans were discussed.
It is not expected the order for
the allied armies to advance will be
given exactly at the time of the ex
piration of the time limit of the al
lies, but it was indicated that there
would be little delay if any in the
maneuvers.
Baron Sonnino was not present at
the meeting of the council, but the
fact that General Cavallero was
caHed in was regarded as indicating
that the allies still regard Italy's
position as not materially changed
by the overthrow of the Orlando
'government.
