responding to the address of welcome,
referred to the attacks on the organ
ization because it was merely feder-
alton and not more compact union.
He showed how the fullest scope was
given to individual opinions and rights

Dor organizations was possible in one
general federation. He appealed for
continued efforts for the cultivation of
public opinion as well as for favorable
legislation and for the most earnest CO.
operation of all labor organizations.

WHY VENEZUELA OBJECTS.
Want One of Their Own Countrymen on
that Ar. itration Tribunal.

According To unofficial advices from
Caracas. the Venezuelans object to the
treaty under consideration because,
among other reasons it gives them no
representation upon the tribunal.
Under the terms OF the protocol there
is nothing 10 prevent the United States
from selecting one of the appointces
from citizens of Venezuela, and if
President Crespo insists one may be
appointed, though it is not considered
wise.
A later dispatch says: President
Crespo will not yield to any popular
demand, but will hold firmly to his
purpose to accept the proposed Anglo
Venezuelan treaty. The more the pro
tocol is studied, politicians say, the
greater becomes the prospect that the
sentiment of the people will uphold 1T.
No special session of the Venezuelan
congress will be called to act upon Il
and the matter will have been thor
oughly considered by the time the
regular session opens in February.
