OF APARTMENT H0USE;rIS XODBED AT DOOR OF LABOR LEADERS Police Look For Bombs Placed in Apartment House Dri ver of Death Car Is Ques tioed Warring Against Landis Labor Award. CHICAGO, May 17. Police today searched for uuexpjoded bombs believed to have been placed iu u $,00,OOU apart ment building iu North Clia-ago, which wag damaged last night by fire which jio lieo say was started by terrorists in con nection with the hicago labor war. An other development on which authorities concentrated their efforts today was con fession buiil toy police to have been ob tained yesterday from Mrs. Margaret Miller, wife of John 'Miller, now under arrest as the alleged driver of the "death car" from which shots were fired killing two policemen early last Wednesday in the labor feud. Police connect the tiring of the build ing with labor disorders through a man who warned two women in an ad joining building to escape before their building caught lire. He ran down the steps shouting: "To hell with the Land is award." The building damaged by fire at an estimated loss of flmi.iMHi, was being erected under the Landis' wage award, a decision handed down by K. M. Landis former Federal judge, acting as arbiter, which was intended to settle lalKir ilis putes between contractors and members of the Chicago ibuilding trades council. Tho structure was owned by a contrac tor who denied receiving threats from luljor men. The force or' ino men em ployed iu construction are divided in two classes, steam litters an I masons working undcf the Landis' award an I carpenters and plumbers working under the old union scale. That the tire was set has1 been proven beyond doubt, police say, for it was start ed on the first and second floor in various parts almost simultaneously. The questioning of Mrs. Miller, police say, brought a fyll confession from her in which the names of other occupants of the "death car'' were given and it is substantiated by a previous confession said to have been obtained from her husband. Police said Mrs. Miller admit ter earing for the occupants of the band it's car who were s-imnnsed to have been wounded dy shots from the policemen's pistols, Mrs. Miller also admitted sit ting iu conference with labor leaders in which bombings and attacks were dis cussed, police said, and amitte.l knowing that explosives were kept in her home to btvused by labor men in their light a gainst the-liandis ' award.

Speeches devoted to the discussion of tariff, the I Allied debt to the United States and the ' : x i. : reparations question us aliening iu country's foreign trade outlook, occupied most of the program for the second ses sion today f the tenth annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. Reviewing financial conditions in Eu rope, which, he said, by creating the dis advantage of high exchange rates, al ready had seriously curtailed this coun try's foreign trade, John K. Delafiefd, of New- York, former chairman of the board of contract adjustment of the Wur De partment, told the convention that insis tence on the payment of even the inter est on the allied debt would greatly add to this hndrancc. To require payments on the principal, he said, would "still more seriously aggravate the situation." "It is for us," Mr. Delafield said, "to do all we can to overcome this candicnp and certainly not to d.i anything to in crease the didsadvaiitage under which we labor. What is the ;iiuoiiiit of these for eign degts to us, repaid as they will bA over a long series of years, besides our prosperity and the well being of our peo ple f h'vcii the amount of these loans is but small compared with the great in crease of wrath on r country would make in a period of great economic prosper ity." Discussing general tariff questions, Commissioner Culberlsnn, of the United States Tariff Commission, warning of the ill-effect of tariff discriminations be tween nations, advocated that this country take the leadership in calling an international conference to consider the "advantages which would accrue to nil nations from the application of the prin ciple of equality of treatment anil the open door to all colonial possessions as well as to nations."
