No systematic search of the rains was made today, but fear that scores of dead might lie beneath gradually dis appeared. Katlmate of Dead Reduced. Last night brought forth rumors, too. that many bodies had been thrown into the river, but the waters gave up no dead today and by night it was doubted whether the death list would much exceed the list in the mortuaries. One negro, seriously injured, was discovered today in a sewer manhole, where he was thrown after being beaten. Michael Whalen, president of the Central Trades and Labor Council here, gave one explanation of conditions which he thought led to the rioting. "Last Summer." said Whalen, "4500 white men went on strike In the pack ing plants of Armour & Co., Morris & Co. and Swift & Co. Eight hundred negroes from the South came Into the plants as strikebreakers. When the strike was ended the negroes remained at work and an equal number of white men failed to get their Jobs back. Crime Soon Noticed. - falnce then there has been a stream of negroes arriving. Not all went into the packing plants. The Missouri Mal leable Iron Company, the Aluminum Company of America, the Steel Foun dries Company and the Cottonseed Oil Company took many of them. ac least zsoo negroes have come from the South In the last year. Many of them failed to obtain work or to hold Jobs once obtained. Citizens be gan to experience burglaries, highway roD Denes and petty crimes. The peo ple became exasperated and determined to drive them out of town." Mr. Whalen said that the chief ob Jectlon to the negroes was that they would not unionize and would not strike. Managers of plants mentioned Dy Mr. Whalen asserted that not white man had been deprived of work because of the negroes. Even with the negroes it was difficult to get enough labor, they said. They explained that rosy letters written back home by the first arrivals accounted for the con tinued influx from the South. Thirty-five Small Flrea Started.

Walker, president of the Illinois Federation of Labor and a member of the Illinois State Council of Defense, also arrived and conferred with labor leaders. Governor Lowden was said to be an gered at criticism of the militia by members of the Chamber of Commerce. Tonight's meeting of the chamber was executive, but it was said vthat the members after a day of investigation were less than ever Inclined to modify the assertion that had the militia acted vigorously last night much bloodshed might have been averted.

Most of the debate was on the committee amendment prohibit ing Government employes or agents, including members of voluntary com missions, from selling their own prod ucts to the Government. A vote upon the amendment was postponed, but with sentiment apparently overwhelm ingly In its favor A defense of the advisory commis sion was made by Senator Brandegee in asking that the report of Director Glfford to Secretary Baker be printed In the record. Senators, he asserted. ought to inform themselves of the com mission before criticising those men who had come to Washington volun tarily to do what they could for the Government, inspired by patriotism. Senator McKeller offered an amend ment providing that the board created to carry out the provisions of the bill should make all of the purchases for the allied and neutral governments in this country and should be responsible to Congress. The Tennessee' Senator also announced he would vote for bone dry prohibition and Bcored food gam blers. With the prohibition question set tled, leaders expect little difficulty In obtaining an agreement for a vote on the bill by the end of the week or early next week. Both wets and drys held many con ferences today In preparation for the forthcoming contest. It was arranged that Senator Robinson of Arkansas should offer the substitute drafted by Senator Martin, Democratic leader, for the bone dry liquor section. The Martin-Robinson amendment follows ex actly the plan of Senator Chamberlain's original amendment providing for pro hibition of distilled beverages only. and its supporters, both Democratic and Republican, claimed enough votes for its adoption. The drys were planning general sup port of the Gore substitute stopping distillation and giving power over wine and beer to the President. Both sides support - the provisions empowering the President to comman deer present stocks of distilled spirits In bond. Steamboat Reaches Minneapolis. MINNEAPOLIS. July 8.
