Chamber of Commerce Orders Referendum ATLANTIC CITT,: N. J.. April 29. Attempts to place American business on record as favoring a sales tax and the repeal of the excise or luxury tax failed here today in the closing session nf thn ninth nnrmal pnnvnHftn nf-thA United States chamber of commerce, i because of confusion in the vote. The subject was ordered to .be Im mediately submitted to a referendum, of the organization's membership. The sales tax was 'overwhelmingly" ap proved in a referendum taken during the convention,.', but owing1 to a. mis understanding and-:cbnfueion i in the vote, the resolutions committee asked that a new referendum be taken; that would be "freed from uncertainty and conclusive in its examinations. That would give ""ue regard to ex port trade as wetl as to the protection of the manufacturing in the United States," it was decided to refer it to the committee on tariff policy which js studying the' matter and will soon make its final report. The chamber urged .that laws and administrative acts should ,-touch busi ness enterprises with great care and only to preserve a fair field to all. In dividual initiative should be stimulated by active and free competition - as a. guarantee of . sound national progress, the chamber declared.. The convention condemned avoidable, strikes, -lockouts and all combinations that needlessly limit output. . or .cujtaiIjdis.tribution on the part of the workers,, owners or managers of industry. ' . The chamber in its final . session called upon " the government to give a clear definition and positive declara tion of its policy concerning the es tablishment and maintenance of world peace, and of order and understanding in the commercial intercourse of nations. t'OTTOX MILL SENATE DOES ' NOT AGREE WITH THE HOUSE DAXVILLE, Va., April 29. -The sen ate of the industrial democracy by which the Riverside and Dan River Cotton Mills, Inc., is governed, at a meeting here tonight considered the hill already approved by the house, ac cepting a cut of 22 1-2 per cent. in the wages of employes in all branches 4of the plant and voted non-concurrence in the action of the' co-ordinate branch.

Even Prohibition Is Dragged in , By the Heels During the' Hot Debate AMERICA WANTS EQUAL RIGHTS TO EXPLOIT THE OIL FIELDS WASHINGTON, April 29. The solu tion of the "future oil problems throughout the world" lies in the ap plication of the principle of equal op portunity for the nations of all coun tries, the state: department says in a note transmitted April 19 to the foreign office of the Netherlands and made pub lic herei' today. The fnote" referred espectally to con ditions in the' Djambi fields "in the Netherland East Indies and said that "responsible, ahd experienced American Interests are ready and desirous to co operate with the Netherlands govern ment in oil developments there. In transmitting? the note William Phillips, .the American minister at The Hague, said: ; "My government finds no alternative than the adoption of the principle of .equally .lf good, opportunity, with . the proviso;. -that no foreign, capital ,inay operate In .public lands unless ltSrgov ernme.nt accords similar or like privi leges to - American citizens." The note is in the nature of a pro test against the granting of a monopoly for ' the.development of the Djambi fields In the Dutch East Indies to a company. "in . which foreign capital other ivthan' American's is so largely interested-" ,. "My government," said Mr. Phillips, 'attaches the highest importance to the recognition of the principles of the reciprocity and eciual opportunity in the solution of the oil ' problems as well . as-the. extension to American capital organized under Dutch law of the same privileges and benefits which are srranted to other- foreign capital similarly crsanized under the laws of the Netherlands." w Presentation of the note followed In formal conferences between Mr. Phil lips and the Dutch government extend ing over a period of 12 months and having-to do with the efforts of Ameri can, capital to obtain a concession in the Sumatra oil region The Standard Cdl companyhuI submitted a bid for a concession, iii that. region. WASHINGTON, April 29. The army appropriation bill was shot at from am bush; today on some if Its provisions, especially one which1-was admitted ' to mean early withdrawal of American troops from Germany, regardless ot action by congress" on the Knox resolu tion. . ";. ' . . , In the midst of the fighting Repre sentative Garrett, Tennessee, aeting Democrat leader, introduced a resolu Mon .requestins President. Harding to Inform: -congress, if not incompatible with .public interest, whether he in tended to .order the troops home im mediately upon passage of the Knox peace .resolution. Announcement that .'such a-resolution had been put in was made . by; .Mr. Garrett at the moment Republican leaders were attempting . to shut off debate, which at times had gone beyond parliamentary bounds. The house cooled down after Chair man Kahn, of the military affairs com mittee had attacked the bill because of the section fixing the enlisted force at 168,000. His amendment increasing the number to 175,000 however, was not reached. Asked pointedly by Mr. Garrett whether rumors that an amendment would be offered directing the Presi dent to withdraw troops from Germany, Chairman Anthony, of the Bub-com mittee on appropriations in charge of the bill, declared he had never heard of It. Being lnf a fighting mood, the house reached out and dragged in prohibi tion by the heels, and heard it des cribed by Representative Hill, Re publican, Maryland, as "the bill so dear to the hearts of the, people, arid unpopularly known by its real name as the Volstead act." After Mr. Mondell had broken up the debate, the reading clerk waded through tern of the 86 pages of the bill and the house sot tired and quit.

Only good goods, fairly priced, can stand the spotlight of publicity. A merchant or manufacturer would not dare to advertise merchiandise that is poor in quality, poor in make or that will not give reasonable wear. The penalty of such tactics is too heavy. No goods and no business con cern can thrive under the weight of public condem nation. v : A merchant places the whole reputation of his business at stake every time he advertises. Naturally enough, he is careful of what he says and when his statement is placed in the newspaper where everyone in totm may read so that any untruth Jn it will be known to all of his employees and most of his friends then you may be sure he is doubly careful.

The Morning Stalll "The Paper The People Have Confidence In? - (Special to The Star) ATLANTA, April 29. That the criti cal .stage of the. famine, in five great provinces; of northwestern China has been 'r reached, ' and that unless addi- ftional funds are immediately forward Jed to the famine area, millions of help less . men, women and children will narloh miaarahlv Is thf stntpmpnt lust 1eana1 Km i o OOIlfllPrn nnmTTlittfift -f or ! the China famine fund. ' The committee ; is in receipt of offi cial advices from the American relief . organization, in the. famine, region, the caDiegrams. coming irpm American diplomatic representatives who are associated actively with' the distribu tion of food, supplies to the sufferers. "Funds , previously provided have been practically - exhausted by grain purchased 'for consumption prior to May 1," says the committee statement, quoting the. cablegrams from the fam j ine area. , ' . "Tlfis means that at least six weeks must be bridged over by the relief workers in order to avert terrible loss of human-life among the .famine suf ferers. A great humanitarian work has already been accomplished. Hun dreds of thousands have been kept alive by the food supplies - purchased with funds ' contributed! by. Americans. But the crucial period of the famine has arrived. Unless additional funds are provided, the; results thus far -accomplished will count for nothing and the population of five great provinces will be frightfully decimated." Dr. W. B. ' Beauchamp, chairman of the southern- committee and one of the foremost southern divines, has' issued an urgent appeal for a liberal and im mediate response to this emergency.. "Funds ' hitherto contributed have saved millions . of lives," r says 1 Dr. Beauchamp, "but if we are to bring real relief to these starving people, we must see them .safely through to the harvest in June." Word has gone out to the local com-" mittees working in individual com munities throughout the south, urging that the work of- securing contribu-' tions for the famine fund be pressed with renewed energy in order that ,this critical point in the famine situation may be passed . with disaster."
