SALEM LABOR UNIONS.

These organizations are a new thing
in this city. For many years a Print
ers' Union was maintained, by the
fact OF the state printing Office being
located here. Otherwise Salem was
not a labor town.
In its palmy days the order OF the
Knights OF Labor had a strong lodge
at Salem. Nearly every politician in
town belonged 10 it. But Il went its
way, and has only OF late revived in
the East
The Grange has always partaken OF
the features OF labor union. pursuing
lines Of cooperative work, and seek.
ing TO better the social conditions OF
the farmers life, and also to exert a
political influence.
The fruitgrowers have organized
two cooperative unions-the prune
'growers and the strawberry growers
both seeking, through cooperation. to
benefit themselves and prevent ruin.
Gus competition.
The Salem labor unions hold cleo

There has been for several years

A few days ago one of cur subscrib-
| eis asked for a statement of the de
mands of England and Germany in
connection with Venezuela, but not
being versed in every detail. the prop.
er reply could not be given, and in
this connection the following editor
ial from the Chicago RecordHerald of
the 9th, will be of interest, not only
to the person requesting information
but most of our readers who are pos
sihly in the dark concerning the en-
isting conditions:
The ultimatums which the British
and German ministers hurriedly
dropped at the door of the Venezuel-
an foreign minister's residence as
they vanished from that city may
have been unexpected but they were
preceded by years of negotiation.
Meantime there has been an increas.
ing confusion of claims. private and
public, each little revolutionary diver
sion adding to its quota.
The most important of the German
demands relates back to a railroad
speculation, which resulted in 1896 in
the placing of foreign loan of So
OOG,0OO francs at per cent. About
two-thirds OF the sum was advanced
by the Germans. while French and
British investors We're also interest
ed. The road runs between Caracas
and Valencia and was built by the
Berliner Disconto Gesellschaft, which
received a guarantee from the Venez-
uelan government that was captali-
talized to the amount named. out
of the total 100000 francs was sent
to London in satisfaction of various
claims. while $4,000 900 francs was
retained in Berlin. Subsequently a
part of the debt was eXtinguished by
Venezuela, but the Disconto Gesell-
schaft found it very difficult to do any
thing with its paper securities, In.
terest was defaulted as early as 1897
the shareholders of the railroad have
received nothing since 1898, and a
year ago it was said that the only
hope held out to them was a payment
of 80 per cent of the amount due for
the second half of that year. At the
same time the arrears We're calculat
ed AT 100000 francs. of which two
thirds were owing in Germany
Besides this railroad demand there
were claims of German merchants on
account OF goods sold to the Venezue
an government and numerous private
claims for compensation for loss in
cJrred during the vii wars of the
preceding three ats. Another civil
war has been added to the collection
since, and of course it has helped tC
multiply the claims. A copy OF the
Venezuelan Herald of September 30
shows how inevitable such result
was. It tells of the destruction ol
railroad tracks and bridges by revo
lutionists, which is typical of a gen
5ral disorder from which many per
sons must have suffered in their per
sons and property.
The general nature of the British
claims may be judged by the accuse
tions and demands OF the Germans
France severed diplomatic relations
with Venezuela in 1895. leaving tn,
archives of her consul in the care OF
a vice consul. She is now trying tc
effect settlement of the French
claims under a special arrangement
with the government of Venezuela.'

The deadlock in Delaware ON the
election of United States senators
and the scandals arising out of ii. a
situation which has been duplicated
