Building Under
Way in Chicago
More Than 25,000 , Men Re
sume Work; Differences'
Being Ironed Out.
Chicago, Tune IS. All parts of the
city resound to the hammers and
saw of carpenters and the machine
gun 1 tattoo of riveters, as ; work on
many buildings was begun. It is
estimated that more than 25,000 men
resumed work this mornin.
Meanwhile Judge Landis is ironing
out the differences between the laboi
unions and the two associations of
building contractors. The work which
was begun today, calls for the outlay
of $30,000,000 and will provide em
ployment for many thousands for a
long period. Additional ' millions will
be cut loose for buildings held in
abeyance for two or more years,
pending, a settlement of. labor
troubles. 1
The heids of the construction
companies insist that wages must
come down. This, they say, is the
first step in reducing the cost of ma
terials, the exorbitant rentals and
other expenses. If the men do not
agree to a reduction, in line with the
reduced cost of living, there will be
no building, except of a temporary
nature, rentals will mount still higher
and thousands of workmen, will be
forced to move to smaller cities or
to'the country.
The contractors will ' insist that
wages should not be more than $1 an
hour for carpenters, brick masons
and labor of that class, and 70 cents
an hour for common laborers. The
unions will . try to convince Judge
Landis that skilled workmen should
receive $1.25 or more an hour and
that common labor should receive $1
an hour.

Deadlock Looms
Over Methods to
Declare War Over
Conferees From Upper Branch
Instructed to Insist on
Knox Plan and Fight
To Last Ditch.
Washington, June 15. The senate
flatly refused today to accept the
house substitute for the Knox peace
resolution and sent both measures to
conference. Instructions were given
to the senate managers to insist up
on the senate draft of the peace
resolution and to oppose, substitu
tion of the so-called Porter measure
to the last ditch.
All signs point to a prolonged
deadlock over the measure. The ad
ministration, it is clearly indicated,
will refuse to intervene in the con
troversy.! President Harding,' it is
understood, is desirous that the two
houses should work out. a solution
to their difficulties witho.ut executive
interference. The administration; ac
cording to reports at .the capitol,
is. in no great hurry for final adop
tion of the resolution and in fact
would not be greatly disappointed if
it were held up in conference until
the European situation " clears up
more satisfactorily.
The senate conferees are expected
to take the position that the con
stitutionality of the Porter resolution
may be gravely questioned and that
it may throw the way open tor cease
less . litigation.. Senators point . out
that the right of congress to repeal
one of its own acts, as the Knox
resolution provides, is unquestioned,
but that the power of congress to
assume the functions of a treaty
making body and declare the war at
an end may be open to attack in the
courts. They are anxious to close
up all loop holes by which the
United .States might be kept in a
purely technical stat of war wth
Germany.
Antles Embarrassed by
Split of Chiropractors
. Lincoln, June IS. (Special.) The
secession of part of the Nebraska
chiropractors at the convention at
Omaha this week will cause no end
of embarrassment to H. H. Antless,
secretary of the state welfare de
partment, in appointing members of
the state board of chiropractic ex
aminers. ' v
J. T. Gallamore of Fairbury, and
J. P. Laub of Chapman are said to
be standpatters favoring the present
Nebraska laws governing, chiroprac
tors. J. C. Palmer of Omaha is
looked upon here as an insurgent.
Laub's term expires December 1 and
the selection of his successor may
prove a ticklish affair for Anfles ta
handle with both sides demanding a'
man favorable to their interests.
Man Fights Bull With
Club to Protect His
iitt i rii i i n
Wire and tmia in Lar
Alliance, Neb., June 15. (Spe
cial.) Jesse Miller, ranch owner and
proprietor of the Alliance hotel, had
a narrow escape when attacked by
an infuriated bull on his ranch. With
his wife and their little daughter
he had driven into the pasture in
an automobile. The engine of the
car went wrong and when Mr. Miller
got out to crank it, the bull, which
was grazing nearby, made a rush for
him.
He fought the animal with the
car crank, which the bull knocked
out of his hand. He then seized a
heavy club and fought the brute
away from the car to protect his wife
and child. Mrs. Miller and the child
escaped through a fence. Mr. Mil
ler then returned to the car and got
inside. When the bull charged the
car he caught hold of a short chain
which "was attached to a ring in the
bull s nose and managed to subdue
him. The bull is a large Holstein,
weighting 1,800 pounds, -and has
given the ranch hands much trouble.

Plans Made for
Investigation of
War Contracts
Purpose to Disclose Whether
Charges of Irregularity Jus
tified ; Not After Little
Fellows. ,
Washington, June IS. Flans for
a comprehensive investigation of
large war contracts were an
nounced today by Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty with the approval
of President. Harding. The purpose
is to disclose to the public whether
numerous charges of irregularity re
lative to war contracts are justified
or not.- In case the evidence war
rants, its proceedings' will be begun
to recover money improperly ob
tained by contractors.
Mr. Daugherty is organizing a
special bureau to handle the investi
gation. - He said that he is seeking
a prominent attorney to head the
bureau and made it plain that the
inquiry ..will not be a muckraking
expedition. He expressed confidence
that the great majority of firms
which did business with the govern
ment during the war were entirely
fair in their dealings . and are en
titled to commendation,
No announcements relative to in
formation obtained will be made
public durng the course of the in
quiry, Mr. Daugherty said. A re
port will be issued when the work
is completed. He indicated that the
investigation will continue for many
months and involve the. expenditure
of considerable money. Experts will
be employed to assist the inquiry.
"We are not going after the little
fellows," said Mr. Daugherty. "If
we catch any minnows in the net
we will throw them back and let
them start over again. '
"It is recognized that business
concerns are entitled to a fair profit,
but if any unconscionable profit has
been obtained by dark' and shady
methods such action .will not be up
held by the government.
