New York, July 21.—All of the eighty-two firms blacklisted by Great Britain under the trading with the enemy act were invited to send rep- resentatives to a meeting today for the purpose of considering a formal protest. The meeting was called by Edward Stegeman, Jr., president of the firm of Brasch & Rothenstein, forwarding cgents. Invitations were sent to R. Goodwyn Rheltt, of Charlesten, S. C., president of the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States, and to lliott H. Gcodwin of Washington, -retary of that body. hippers seld today that orders from South American countries for large quantities of food stuffs, farm- ing instruments, nousehold articles and other goods, have been held up by the action of the British govern- ment. Some of the largest houses in the foreign ' trade instructed their clerks not to accept any shipments until the British agents had been asked about status of the customer. American firms with no German or Austrian connections fear they will be banned from doing business with Great Brit- ain or the colonies unless they refuse to have dealings with those on the blacklist. The Chamber of German-American Commerce, it was learned today, has been gathering reports from its cor- respondents in South America and other countries where the British blacklist order has been put into ef- fect and this information will be submitted to the meeting here and probably sent to Washington. Washington, July 21.—Great Brit- ain’s action in placing American firmi on a blacklist under the “Trading with the enemy act,” was discussed at today's cabinet meeting. No de- cision on the course of the American government will be reached pending the outcome of inquirfes being made by the state department.

The body of Bergin was discovered by some boys late yesterday afternoon as they were fishing in a secluded nook of the little stream and the body was taken from the water at 9 o’clock last | night. Before taking his life Mr. Bergin evidentally did his best to remove any- thing that might lead to identification of the body and as it was it was iden- tified in a most unusual manner. The | man’s shoes were worn through and he had made an inner sole out of a local newspaper and by means of this paper and the fact that his shoes | bore the stamp of the Globe Cloth- ing House the Unionville outhorities were led to investigate In this city. Mr. Bergin was a native of Ireland and was seventy-three years of age. He was formerly employed at a local factory but of late had been working as a laborer on the street.
