MITCHELL PREPARES
 FOR THE CONFERENCE
Declines to Talk of His Plans, But He Is In Close Touch With
 the Miners.

New York, February 12--President John Mitchell of the United Mine Workers of America, who arrived here Sunday night to prepare for the conference on Thurs day between the mine workers of the anthracite region and their employers. spent busy day at the headquarters in the Ashland house arranging his pro- gramme for the meeting. The miners President brought with him from Indian apolis large trunk filled with documents and statistics relating 10 the hard coal industry of Pennsylvania, which he will use at the conference. He remained in his room practically all the day, and had no visitors of any prominence. MT. Mitchell declined to discuss the anthracite coal situation so far as it related to the miners union in advance of the meeting with the operators. Neither would he ad- vance any opinion of the conditions in the west
 He is absorbed in work of the coming convention and Is keeping in touch with the situation In the various bituminous coal fields. During the day he received re- ports by telephone and telegraph. MT. Mitchell was in conference tonight with the presidents Of the three anthracite dis triets Messrs. T. D. Nichols, William IL. Dettrey and John Fahey who will take up most of his time between now and Thurs day in the work of perfecting the demand propositions to be laid before the coal mine owners The outline of these de- mands was drafted by the three executive boards of the hard coal fields at a series of meetings held last week at Wilkes barre. No inkling of the exact nature of the demands has leaked out, and 1t Is im- probable that they will become public property until the conference shall have adiourned.

London, February 12s-Former Premier A. J Balfour was the principal speaker at banquet given tonight by the eon- servatives of the city of London led by Err Edward Clarke and Alban Gibbs. There were 300 gentlemen present, inelud- Ing a number of the most prominent men of the city
 Sir Edward Clarke responded briefly to the toast: "Our Guests.
 Mr. Balfour, whose speech had been an- tieipated with intense interest, as his reply to Joseph Chamberlain s lpronuncia- mento spoke at great length, confining himself mainly to fiscal questions. MT. Balfour maintained that the results of sle general election could not be accepted as a final verdict against fiscal reform. He declined to argue the question of protec- tion versus free trade, but maintained that the policy he has hitherto advo- cated is altogether apart from the con troversy.
 Mr Balfour said his policy was de- signed. so far as might be to diminish the burden on British indus tries, which purpose Is hostile to the tariff other in- dustrial countries have imposed. In eoun- tries where hostile tariffs did not exist it was the intention to preserve neutral mar kets and at the same time preserve the interests of the British colonies on equal footing. He said it was a policy to main tain an increased foreign market for Brit ish manufactures Protection was an at tempt to keep the home market against equal competition from foreign countries.

ADJUST GERMAN TARIFF.
Much Correspondent Carried on With
 State Department.

Washington, February 12.-It is said at the state department that there has been much correspondence with the government of Germany respecting the trade treaty of 1928. an incident to the general effort to avert the application of the German max mum tariff rates on American products or the first of next month. Curiously enough the German position now is exact ly opposed to that which Germany as sumed in MT Clevelands administration, when the Germans sought to secure under the favored nation clause the benefits of free sugar accorded to the Hawaiian Islands by reciprocity treaty with the United States.
 Our government took an advanced posi- ton at that time and insisted that sucn a claim would not lie unless the condi- tions were exactly similar. Germany now contends that as this country does not see fit to enter into a reciprocity treaty with her the American government cannot claim advantages enjoyed by other coun- tries with which Germany has treaties by invoking the favored nation clause. It Is said that the arrangement made under section of the hDingley act. which has governed our trade relations with Ger many up to this moment was entered into with the purpose of settling the contro- versy as to the efficacy of this favored nation clause which has been in progress for several years between the two gov ernments. Finally it can be stated that nothing has developed recently to afford any hope that the applica ton of the Ger man maximum duties can be adverted.

Senator Dubois Speaks at Lincoln
 Banquet In Chicago.

Springfield. H., February 12.-United States Senator Fred T. Dubois of Idaho was the principal speaker at the annual banquet at the Leland hotel tonight given in honor of Lineon's birthday by the Sangamon club.
 Senator Dubois address was largely given to stories reminiscent of Lincoln s life in Springfield. In closing, he said Lincoln, with one stroke of his pen wiped out slavery, but polygamy still exists. The Mormons in this, the twentieth century, practice polygamy openly and have be- come tremendous political power in our country. He declared polygamy was the greatest menace today to American civi- lzation and that during a quarter of q century he had been combating the evil He declared one could not any more dlssociate Reed Shoot from poly gamy than one could dissociate slave owner from slavery, He thought that President Roosevelt stood for high ideals and that which was best for the united States, but Lincoln worked for the bet terment of mankind everywhere,

MR. BALFOUR STANDS ON
 HIS FORMER POSITION

MT. Balfour said the sentiment favoring his policy was not decreasing. but in- ereaslng and unless 1t were carried our he believed as the world became more ana more industrialized and as civilized na- tlons brought more and more the weaker nations under control the question or mar kets for Great Britain would assume proportions which could not be ignored The world saw great nations using not only diplomatic, but their whole military and naval forces in order to push their commerce.
 The fight for British markets might again be inevitable, but fighting is d barbarous method. where negotiations might succeed and negotiations never could succeed unless 1t were backed by some power of dealing with the country with whom we might be negotiating if the latter asked extraVagant or impos- sble terms.
 Mir. Balfour said he viewed the in- dustrial conditions in the United Kingdom with the greatest alarm. He said possibly nations which built up industries behind tariff walls were acting foolishly, but nevertheless they did it, and the result undoubtedly was injurious to the United Kingdom MT Ba1four asked was 1t pos sible to carry out retaliation unless a general tariff formed a part of the scheme He declined to commit himself on that point, but he said what the country had to make up it's mind to was the question: Is the end at which we are aiming worth making sacrifice for3 In conclusion MT. Balfour welcomed the working men in Parliament but said he doubted if the present labor representa- ton was destined to introduce legislation beneficial to the country or which the unionlsts could support.
