HOPE TO FORM BETTER WORLD CREDIT SYSTEM International Conference Is Seeking to Eliminate Un fair Trade Practices By Associated Press• Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 20. Establishment of a permanent inter national organization of businessmen for the purpose of eliminating un fair international trade ' practices, working out a better system of credit and finance in the international ex change of goods and acting as a clearing house for ideas with regard to manufactures and commerce, is expected to result from the inter national trade, conference which is to be held here this week. Informal conferences and subcommittee meet ings were begun to-day, and will con tinue until the formal sessions begin Wednesday night. This new organization probably will supplant the international con gress of chambers of commerce and commercial industrial associations which for 14 years have been a com mon clearing house for the business ideas of the world. Its functions having been suspended since June. 1914, the suggestion is now made that on the invaluable experience of this organization be erected an even greater and more closely knit struc ture. Edward A. Fillne, of Boston, who was one of the three American dele gates of the permanent committee of the International Congress, has pre pared plans for the new interna tional body which will be submitted to the conference for consideration. Under the tentative plan of the American delegates, the new organiz ation will endeavor to bear the same relation to the League of Nations on commercial subjects as the Inter national I>abor Conference, soon to convene in Washington, will have regarding labor problems. At tho first open meeting of the delegates this morning, the various foreign missions met the correspond ing American commissions and de cided on methods of procedure. Al fred C. Bedford, of New York, chair man of the executive committee of the conference, called, the meeting to order and introduced John H. Fahey, of Boston, who delivered an informal address of welcome and outlined the work of the program committee, of which he is chairman. LEG IS BROKEN Lieutenant James M.

COME IN CORNER ENTRANCE Askift & Marine Co. 36 North 2nd Street, Corner Walnut Street MONDAY EVENING, "TO SHOOT IF NECESSARY," IS TROOPS' ORDER ! 500 Landed at New York to i Attempt to End Strike Con gestion on the Piers By Associated Press. New Y'ork, Oct. 20.—Five hundred soldiers of the Regular Army were landed here to-day from the trans port George Washington to attempt to end the congestion at the Army piers in Brooklyn caused by the longshoremen's strike. The men are under orders "to shoot if necessary," according to a statement made by Brigadier General Peter Davison, •chief of troop movements at the port of embarkation. The troops will aid in moving transports or whatever else is necessary," said | General Davison. The soldiers were landed at Ho boken and immediately transferred to Governor's Island preliminary to duty at the Army piers in Brooklyn. They comprised two battalions of the Twelfth regular infantry, First Division,, which was first in Frapce and first in the fighting. Many had overseas chevrons and wound stripes. The troops-were under command of Col. Jeffe M. Cullison, who com manded the Twenty-sixth infantry of the First Division in France and received several decorations. He also is a veteran of Mexican and Phil ippine service. He was greeted at the pier by Brigadier General D !>••<- son, who, when asked if more tro01s were coming, said that members ot the Thirteenth Regiment were now i at Camps Upton and Merritt 'near by and would be brought here if necessary. Washington. Oct. 20. —Secretary Baker to-day refused the request or Mayor Hylan, of New York, to post pone the use of troops at New York until further efforts could be made to settle the strike of longshoremen •there. Mr. Baker said maintenance of Army transport service out of New York was a part of the war opera tions of the government and that he intended to continue the operation of the ships. He added, however, that he was willing to co-operate with Mayor Hylan in any possible way "to bring about an adjustment of the strike difficulty." N. Y. Bank Charges France Got 20,000,000 Pounds of Sugar by Blunder of U. S. New York. Oct. 20.—Simultaneously with the prediction by Arthur Wil liams, Federal Food Administrator, of a sugar famine in New York by next Tuesday, unless the longshore men's strike is settled, the Harriman National Bank published a paid ad vertisement in a newspaper asserting the surplus war material recently sold by the United States to France included 22,000,000 pounds of sugar. "tl is obvious" said the advertise ment, "that inquiry need go no far ther to discern that the high cost of living is in a great measure due to the inefficiency of official Washing ton." The advertisement added that the war, material "sold for about $400,- 000,000 and estimated to be worth $1,750,000,000 included almost every thing in the list essential to our present day needs. The report of the committee on expenditures of the War Department, to be made to Con gress should show precisely why so valuable a quantity" of material was virtually presented to France at the expense of the American taxpayer." America Nation of Tenants, Says United States Senator New York, Oct. 20. The United States has fought all her wars "to preserve the home" and yet probably 6u per cent, of her people are tenants. This was the text selected by United States Senator Calder in an address before the New York Real Estate As sociation's convention urging the ne cessity of a national campaign for the creation of homes. ''lt has been pointed out that the United States has been at war on an average of once in 20 years since the Constitution was adopted," the Sen ator said, "and that the object of each of these wars has been, in the last analysis to preserve the home. Yet we find that to the majority of people ir. this country "home" means little more than a dwelling for which they are paying rent." Get your neighborhood interested in tree planting.
