INACCURATE NEW PLAN.
United Mine Workers Seek to Extend
Their Influence.


Their Influence.
indianapolis, Feb. 1.-THE National
executive board Of the United Mine
Workers of America has decided to in
augurate a plan of organization that
will put men in every mining district
in the United States in such force that
they hope it will be impossible for the
operators to resist them long. Funds
will be supplied to the organizers to
carry on the campaign in whatever
sum may be necessary to accomplish
results favorable to the organization.
The appointment of new organizers,
which by the adoption of a new
amendment to the constitution is per-
mitted, will not be made until the
regular board meeting which will be
held in about month.

Paris, Feb. 1.-THE Socialist group

Spanish-Arnerican republics. It is esti-
mated that these foreigners have invested
in loans and public works in those coun-
tries upwards of s1,Ooo,000, 900. High
rates of interest are paid and tremendous
risks hare taken by English and German
capitalists. In most of the republics revo-
lutions are constantly occurring. The
laws for the collection of debts are de-
ficient. Creditors are told they must
settle their bills through the local courts,
which are generally organized to pro-
tect the native debtor and cheat the
foreign creditor. There is in most of
the republics singular moral obliquity
when it comes to the keeping of con-
tracts. There are notable exceptions, but
they are few. Brazil and Chile and
Mexico are pre-eminent in stability.
Countries like Colombia and Venezuela
are preyed upon by swashbucklers, and
'capitalists who invest under such condi-
tions go in aware of the precarious ma
ture of their investments.

Obstructing Settlement.

Germany continues the chief obstruc-
difficulty. It developed yesterday that
she insisted for herself and Italy upon
payments out of the Venezuelan customs,
In addition to the $27,500 cash promised
by Mr.. Bowen, which would certainly
mean preferential treatment, the legiti-
macy of which she and Great Britain have
already agreed to refer to. the interna-
tional tribunal at The Hague. Mr.. Bowen,
Venezuela's representative, has refused
to yield to this demand. Every PROPOSE
tion that Bowen has yet made has been
either rejected or assented to with some
qualification. Three weeks ago Mr.. Bowen
notified the allies that the raising Of the
blockade was made a condition prece-
dent to negotiations for the settlement of
their claims, and the, day after the Ger
man squadron furiously bombarded
Venezuelan fort at the entrance of Lake
Maracaibo, and the Berlin government
indorsed the act. The last proposal of Mr..
Bowen, looking to the equalizing of the
treatment Of claimants and reference to
q, commission Of adjustment, the ques-
tion of the rightness or wrongness of
preferential treatment for the allies to
be referred to the tribunal at The Hague,
was apparently agreed to but, as here
tofore, Germany interposes new demand
for preference.
1t is possible that Great Britain may
pull out of the alliance with Germany,
for there is intense popular detestation
of the arrangement, and when the Brit
ish parliament meets next week, the Bal
four ministry will no doubt hear from the
constituencies in a very vigorous way.
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain is re-
ported to be thoroughly hostile to the
combination and he is a power in the
cabinet The London Mail, a government
supporter, declares that the alliance with
Germany finds no adherents outside the
ranks of the present ministry, and is
viewed with something like abhorrence.''
Under such conditions the pact with Ger
many cannot be of very long duration
and 1t is more than probable that If the
matter Of preferential treatment gets be-
fore the international tribunal the latter
will decide that it is not legitimate
especially when preference is demanded
on the ground that the claimants have
appealed to arms for settlement of theil
claims, and they should be reimbursed
for the outlay thus incurred. # this
Venezuelan case results in an abandon
ment Of bornbardments in debt-collect
ing, and makes The Hague tribunal tn,

The Firms at Home.

To the Editor of The Journal:
No one can fail to sympathize most
heartily with the effort now being made
to relieve the sufferers from famine in
Finland, Sweden and Norway.
The question occurs to me whether it
would not be well to spend a part of this
money, or else raise separate fund, to
bring a few dozen ship loads of these
people, especially the Firms, to America.
They could probably be brought here
for $50 each-not much more than it
would cost to support them where they
are until another harvest, and they would
then be released from the intolerable po-
litical situation in which they now find
themselves. ~
The Firms are an industrious, intelli-.
gent, educated and moral people, and
would be desirable immigrants. With the
present great demand for labor, places
could no doubt be found for the entire
population Of the famine district of Fin
land and we would kill, not two. but three
birds with one stone; we would get the
labor that we need, the Films would get
out of the famine country and they would
also get out, permanently from under the
tyrannical exaetions of Russia.
w A. Willard.
Mr.. Willard raises very natural ques-
ton. Why don't the Films leave a couni-
try where the conditions Of life are so hard
as they appear to be in Finland? There
are several reasons In the first place,
it is their home, to which they are even
more attached, probably, than we are to
our homeland Finnish history and tradi-
ton are full of the glory of the Finnish
race, and it is not unreasonable that the
people of that land should love their coun-
| try and be slow to leave it. Then, of
course they have their own business in
terests to hold them there, poor as those
interests are. .lf~ f. +a
| But perhaps a more effectual reason for
their remaining is that they can't get
away. Formerly it took but three marks,
or 60 CENTS to buy passport; now it
takes 200 marks, or $40, while passage
from Helsingfors to Minnesota would cost
about 400 marks, or $50, making the pass.

Unquestionably they would come if the!

paid in, making $4,000 as net result to
sums raising the total amount to over
$4,000 are in prospect; and the work has
only fairly commenced.
In view of these developments, the ques-
tion naturally arises: Who is trying to put
a stop to this investigation of railroad
companies accounts by the public exam
iner? The authorship and support Of that
bill would naturally be scrutinized very
closely by the people of this state. If it
is true, as it appears from the discoveries
of the public examiner that the railroad
companies have been neglecting to report
certain important items of earnings upon
which they ought to have been taxed, but
upon which they have escaped taxation.
the passage of any bill putting stop to
this work of Investigation by the public
examiner will require some very industri-
Gus and skilful defense if it does not ap-
pear to have been Influenced Improperly.
The first excuse offered for such action
is that the work Of examining railroad ac-
counts should be conducted by the rail-
road commission. But the sufficient and
complete answer to that is that we have
had a railroad commission for nearly
twenty years and that it has failed to dc
this work as it ought to be done.
Another consideration is that the pres.
ent railroad commission does not enjoy the
confidence of the people of this state, i
exception be allowed of one member. In
fact, it was seriously proposed at the las
session of the legislature to abolish thu
entire commission, as heroic remedy b!
which to get rid of unsatisfactory officials
and place the power Of appointment again
in the hands of the governor. To with
draw the power of examining the railroad
accounts from the public examiner an
confer it upon the railroad commission
while not justified by previous work o
that commission, would be particular,
suspicious at the present time, as tn
commission is now constituted.
