Berlin, Feb. 10.-Foreign officials
deny that any insuperable obstacles to
the signing of the German protocol at
Washington exists. They add that a

few days. They claim that first Great

Italy.
Hitch Over Minor Details.
London, Feb. lot was authori--
tatively stated that, while no serious
point has arisen to jeopardiZe a salts
factory settlement of the Venezuelan
troubles, indications point to The fact
that minor difficulties are delaying the
signing of the protocols. Italy's diff
Guilty, it is said here, apparently arose
from Ambassadors Des Planches
learning that the British protocol slip
ulated a renewal of the commercial
treaty with Venezuela, and Italy de-
sired assurances that no differentia
duties will be imposed subsequent to
the settlement. 1t is considered in
London that Germany is likely to
adopt a similar attitude, ali the allies
feeling, to quote one of their represen
tatiyes here, that Venezuela is not
likely to feel too friendly after the cpl.
sode is closed and might nullify all
the terms by imposing retaliatory du

Express DisapprovaI.

The non-union miners through their
attorney, John T. Lenahan of Wilkes
barre, expressed their disapproval of
the principles and practices of the
United Mine Workers. He submitted
to the commission that it must find
the United Mine Workers responsible
Cor the violence and other unlawful
acts which deprived non-union miners
of their lawful right to work; that all
authorities agree that the law guarap
tees to every man the right to work,
where, when and for whom he pleases
and nothing could justify the commits
sion that the non-union miners must
deal with their employers through the
medium of the union or be subject in
the slightest degree to it's control or
dictation.
LIoyd's Plea.
In the presentation of the argument
for the Union men Attorney Lloyd
yesterday contended for the recogni-
ton of the union and trade agree
ment, saying in part:
THE miners want more than the
mere recognition of the union. They
want an agreement for the negotiation
ances with provision for arbitration
il necessary. Arrangements of this
kind are every year becoming more
common in Europe and this country.
This voluntary system and the compul-
sorry arbitration of New Zealand are
twin brothers travelling by converging
paths toward the same goal-industri-
al peace.
''The NOSE precious power of all for
the pacification of industry, the pow
err to prevent disputes from beginning,
