Samuel -; fioinpers, president of the American lederation of Labor, in a statement to the League to Enforce Peace, tikes issue with the opposition to i he labor articles of the peace treaty which has a proposal before the senate foreign relations committee to strike them out. "The covenant for a league of na tions and the treaty of peace of which it is a part," said Mr. Gom neri, "holds the first world agree ment among the nations to keep all that has been secured for labor, and to make standards, already gained, rniversat, advancing and improving for all men, for all women and for all children.

Up to the present moment not a single important objective has been taken. A few supply dumps have been captured in the eastern and middle western sectors, but the common enemy appears to be holding fast in the works he constructed while the attention of the country was cen tered upon a foreign front. He battles hard, apparently being well supplied with the poison gas of subsidized press and supported by a platoon or more of sympathetic and apathetic legislators. , Yet the outlook for his ultimate sharp defeat is bright. America has set its face at last to the job of extirpating the most vicious brood that Mars was sire to. And be certain that whatever reserves, whatever leadership, the conflict may demand as its wages it? course, .those ele ments will be supplied by an outraged people.

COHAN PREDICTS ACTORS' VICTORY WITHIN 10 DAYS Says Producing Managers Have Offered Contract That Con cedes Nearly All Demands. New York. Aug. 30. Settlement of the actors' strike within 10 days ! on terms which appeared on their f face to be victory for the Actor's Lquity association was predicted , by George M. Cohan at a meeting I of the recently organized Actor's 1'idelity association. Mr. Cohan announced the Pro ! ducing Manager's association had 5 ottered a contract with an arbitra- tion clause providing that in cases of ' dispute the actor "may be repre- scnted before the board by any as i sociation." The cheif point of con I tcntion in the strike had been re fusal of the managers to recognize . the Actor's Equity association. Although the Actor's Equity as- sociation was not mentioned in the contract which Mr. Cohan read, it was generally believed that the clause was intended to cover the Actor's Equity association as well as members of the Fidelity and unorganized actors. The contract is said to include among its provisions virtually every demand the strikers have made, in cluding extra pay for performances in excess of eight per week. "wen Attacks Lodge for Stand Against League Washington, Aug. 30. Replying id flie senate today to arguments presented by Chairman Lodge of ' tlie foreign relations committee -:ainst unreserved ratification of . t.(S peace treaty. Senator Owen, 'cmocrat, Oklahoma, declared Mr. 3 odge had been blinded by partis anship and by a distrust of popular institutions. Referring to the committee chairman's parallel between the league of nations and the ill-famed holy alliance," Mr. Owen said the argument had overlooked the in-a-igue and autocratic selfishness v h'ich surrounded the alliance. close their records have been ex cused from doing so, despite the fact that , City Attorney Mossman asserted the council has authority to force access to the books of property owners. "I think we are safe in assuming Friday night's effort marks the final attempt on the part of city officials to do anything for us," said a ten ant of the Angelus apartment. Commissioner Ringer, who pre sided over the investigation, ad journed the meeting without set ting the time for another gathering. Like Food "Probe." "Just like their food investiga tion," declared one of the attorneys, "this rent proposition is a huge joke so far as the city council is concerned. There is an influence dominiating the city commissioners which cannot be prevailed against until the authority of certain mem bers has been curtailed. If we ex pect to get anywhere, at least three members of the council must be re moved, or we will have to take our cause to the district court." "I do not look for anything defi nite in this direction," he continued, "until the latter part of September. Most of the high rates are sched uled to take effect October 1. We have formulated a plan of action, which I dp not feel free to disclose at this time. With three other at torneys I have gone itjto this matter thoroughly and I am positive that there is a legal and proper way out of this trap which was set by the landlords for their tenants." It was declared a number of suits would be filed in the district court, which more than likely would in volve almost endless litigation. This plan, it was declared, would tie up thousands of dollars in rentals, with the possibility that property owners would not be able to collect from their tenants for many months. The attorney was asked what ac tion was contemplated in the event the owners instituted ejection pro ceedings against -the occupants of the apartments. "We have considered carefully this feature of the case," he re plied. "There is a way to meet the issue, and I think I am safe in pre dicting that not a single tenant will be ejected because he refuses to be victimized by the Omaha rental combine." Organized tenants not only have been laying their plans for a de fensive, but declare they are pre paring for an aggressive attack. Attorneys are of the opinion that an illegal combine exists among certain operatives, house agents in Omaha. They say they will be able to produce evidence, and while it was hoped that this would be de veloped by the city commissioners, their failure to do so has not dis couraged men and women who have indicated a purpose to delve to the bottom of the affair. Urges Grand Jury. "It may be necessary for a spe cial grand jury to make the investi gation," asserted one of the attor neys. "Mayor Smith's indifference to thousands of oppressed citizens of this city, who have a right to ex pect his support, and the efforts of other commissioners to throw cold water on this investigation, will not affect our plans in the least. "These men at the city hall saw a chance to take advantage of the imposition of apartment house dwel lers to play politics. They stepped to the front with high sounding speeches, but when the spot light was turned on them, they failed mis erably. They could not stand the inspection. "After their blundering failures, both in the food and rent investi gation, it is my opinion the people of Omaha have learned to expect very little from the city hall may-jority.

Judge Harry W. Robinson, of the circuit court, was shot in the shoulder in open court here today by Frank Douglass, an attorney, while the judge was quizzing the lawyer about the ethics ot retaining a sum which the attorney claimed as a fee. Asked for proof to support his claim, the attorney exclaimed, "Here's your evidence!" produced a pistol from his pocket and fired. He declared the judge had insulted him. Director qf Vocational Training for Army Quits Washington, Aug. 30. Dr. C A. Prosser, director of federal board for vocational education, has re signed and plans to return to Dun- woody Institute, Minnesota, it was said today at the board's headquar ters here.

Ed Palmer, manager of the Omaha office of Dyer Co., believes that in spite of the uusual conditions in the hay trade they will do a larger volume of business than any prev ious record. What this means can be better appreciated when it is known that the Dyer Co. has risen to second place on the Omaha hay market in jess than two year J American Irishmen Attack reace lreaty (Continued from Pare One.) be useless to press their requests further since their utterances while in Ireland had offended British statesmen. Great Britain, the speakers said, had drawn the United States into the league to help guarantee such "out rages" as it was committing in Ireland. At the same time, they asserted, England had been careful to preserve a sea power which gave her " a grip on every quarter of salt water in the world," and which, under the present circumstances, could be intended for use only against the United States. Extend Time to Irish Although the committee origi nally had alloted only two hours to the hearing, when presentation of the Irish cause had been fairly launched it was voted to extend the time for as long as the speakers de sired. They took most of the day. A brief opposing the views ex oressed bv the witnesses was filed with the committee by Albert E. Kelly of New York and five others. The brief orotested against the at tempt of representatives of a faction in Ireland, known as the Sinn Fein party, or of any kindred organiza tions favoring their movement in the United States to bring the Irish question into discussion of the peace treaty. Brief Not Read. The brief was not read, but was ordered put into the record of the hearing. The signers said they were of Irish birth and "just plain, hard - workins American citizens with" no axe to wind." The Sinn Fein "faction" the brief set forth, has no right to take part in the discussion of the league of nations, because it failed to support the allies, m the war, conducting a propaganda hurtful to the allied cause and civing aid and comfort to the enemy by creating strife and. turmoil at Dome. Statements that Ireland has not self-government were denied, the brief saying the Irish have the franchise, have a representative gov ernment and are subject to laws made by parliament in the same manner as for England. Scotland and Wales. Ireland is not suppressed religi ously nor industrially, it was de clared and never has been one di vided nation, approaching unity only under British rule. Injection of the Irish question into American politics, it was argued, would create racial and religious issues foreign to the principles of American life. I he hearing today attracted un usual attention, an extra detail of police being necessary to keepJhe spectators from crowding the rom- mittee room beyond its capacity. j . Soviet Leader In Munich Is Held to Be Incapable Berlin. Ausr. 30. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Dr. Lipp, who par ticipated in the soviet government at Munich and issued orders which were Iconsidered amazing, has been declared incapable of- standing trial because of his mental condition. For some time he has been confined in an insane asylum. ( Any aspirant for a place in the commercial world who would enter the retail grocery business should be given a mental test, if the state ment of J. J. Cameron, testifying be fore the state food investigators last week, may be accepted at their face value. Mr. Cameron is secretary of the Retail Grocers' association and also the Retail Butchers' association. He has been the counselor and guide of the retail grocers for a period of years and is known as their spokes man in times of need. No Thought of Profits? Analyzing Mr. Cameron's resume of the profitless life of the average retail grocer, it would 'appear that this merchant is merely serving his fellow men and women, without re ward in this life or assurances of any better net profits in the life to come. He is so oblivious to the possibili ties of lining his purse with pelf that he just goes on from day to day through the whirligig of time with- oue considering what proper amount of margin he should add to the cost prices of his goods. What Mr. Cameron Contends. In the usual well-regulated busi ness there are generally accepieu principles which require the appli cation of an overhead per cent ot expense deducted from the gross profits to determine the net profits. Mr. Cameron said he believed the average grocer is applying 20 per cent as gross and that his overhead expense averages 185 per cent, which would leave Vi per cent net. Applying that to a typical case. -it would mean that a grocer having annual sales of $30,000 would have a net profit of $750. But figures do not always tell the story, according to Mr. Cameron, who insists that most of the Omaha grocers are los ing money this year. And they are losing money, he insisted, because they do not have the temerity to raise the prices as fast as the wholesalers mark up their figures. Says Competition is Keen. "Competition is so strong among the grocers that they are afraid that . $ fir v, jp ? i J Jp ','4 vJS? , w f one raises a price five cents. another store around the corner will get the business. If thev knew how to figure profits correctly, they would make money. said Mr. Cameron. It is not the fault of Mr. Cameron that the Omaha retail grocers have come upon such evil days. As long ago as six years he made an attempt to educate the Omaha retailers to keep books and to know from day to day, or week to week, how their business was going. He complained that it was almost a thankless task; that the grocers would not heed his advice, but just went along in a haphazard manner, adding a few cents here and a few cents there to the goods, and then wondering at the end of the year why they did not check out to their own ac counts. "They are still figuring gross profits in a haphazard way. I tried to show them that they could make more money by keeping accurate accounts, Mr. Cameron testified. Young Men, Beware I His story of the life of the aver age grocer would discourage any young man wno naa ambitiouj to see his name on the door. But he pictured the bright side y teuing ot a tew umaha grocers who are making money and this is now mey are doing it: You must nave a wite. Kent a small place with living rooms in the rear. You and the wife can wait on the cus tomers and live in the rear rooms Do all of the delivering yourselves and hire no clerks. You will get vour own groceries at the whole sale rates. In this manner Mr. Cameron believes one could suc ceed in the grocery business. He also stated that probably not more than 25 Omaha grocers made iO per cent during the last few years on their capital invested. A few may have earned from 10 to 15 per cent at the best. This means that on the 10 per cent basis a grocer carrying an average of $10,000 stock ;:nd liabilities would earn $1,000 for the year, which would not be a fair salary even for himself. Service to Humanity. Carrying the analysis further, Mr. Cameron added that if the average Omaha grocer would include in his expense account an adequate salary for himself and other memhers of his family who may have helped in the store, he would have a debit bal ance at the end of the year, Mr. Cameron insisted that a mere living is not the reward that should be earned by a retail grocer. His suggestion is that if the grocer would lift himself out of the slough of despond he should learn the gentle art of marking goods to the figures that will insure a profit. Under present conditions, according to Mr. Cameron's line of reasoning, the retail grocer is not a self-serving member of society. "And just think of it all this time we've been believing just the other way round," sobbed a woman at tending the hearing.

Germany's Zep pelin fleet will not swell the allied air forces. It has been destroyed. Determined that the victorious allies should not have Germany's great aerial fleet, notwithstanding the provisions of the peace treaty, a young naval officer, according to what seems a reliable report, emu lated the example of Admiral von Reuter at Scapa Flow by causing the greater number of Zeppelins, which were to be turned over to the allies, to be "saboaged" in their sheds. About 16 Zeppelins are left of the 90 built during the war. The peace treaty provides for their surrender. (Note: Article 202 of the peace treaty provides that on the coming into force of the pact delivery shall be made by Germany to the principal allied and associated powersof all dirigibles able to take the air being manufactured, repaired or as sembled." In the meantime these craft were to be maintained at Germany's expense). One Still Intact. One, the L-72, which is uncom pleted, is still intact at the Zeppelin works at Freidrichshafcn. The other 15 are in various air harbors, chiefly in northern Germany, in the vicin- ; itv of the North Sea and Baltic coasts. Of the latter 10 or 12 are said to have been sabotaged to all intents and purposes as good as de stroyed. Acting, it is alleged, upon his own initiative and responsibility, the young naval officer, whose name is not yet revealed, is said to have ordered the cables by which the huge Zeppelins are suspended in their sheds, to be cut, causing the airships to crash to the ground, crushing the gondolas and engines and twisting the framework sothat they can be considered "sunk." There is reason to believe that the plan to prevent the allies from get ting the Zeppelins has been in con templation in certain circles for some time. But indications are that the eovernment had no knowledge of the plan and that it was carried v out without its knowledge. Government Investigates. Answering my request for a statement, an omcial ot tne toreign office said that immediately the matter becoming known there the government began investigation. It was added that the deed could have been only "that of some irrespon sible individual" who would be pro ceeded against as soon as it was certain who was involved. In nationalist circles it is consid ered a patriotic act whatever the consequences be. It is compared to the scuttling of the German fleet at Scapa Flow. ' Through the inauguration of air travel between Berlin and the Swiss border there had just come a lively renewal of interest in Zeppelins. The officer responsible for the de struction is reported to have disap peared, but this is not yet confirmed. Three of the oldest and most obso lete type of Zeppelins in the sheds near the Baltic sea are reported un harmed. It is not certain that "871," the last and largest Zeppelin completed of those that attacked London, is among the "scuttled" airships. Consternation was apparent at the foreign offices when the report first became known there. It was prompt ly and emphatically denied that the .government could have had any knowledge of the plan. On the con trary, it was asserted that efforts had been made to avoid further trou ble for the government from certain elements.
