GERMANY HAS MONEY CRISIS
Empire Must Borrow Heavily TO Meet
Demands and Minister Is
Worried.

BERLIN, April 30.-That the irnperial
government must borrow S25O,OOOO 900 during
the next five years was the substance of
an admission made by Secretary of the
Treasury Sydow to the appropriations COM
mittee of the Reichstag today. The bor-
rowings will be necessary even though the
appropriations for each year are not IN
creased before 1912.
At the time this statement was made the
committee was discussing a proposal of
Chairman Paasches, national liberal, for a.
definite bill from the government to fix
sinking fund requirements Herr Erze-
berger. socialist, said the members of the
committee must be shocked by the govern
ments reckoning that 1,OO0,OOOOO0 marks
more must be borrowed to cover the an
nual deficits in the ordinary budgets for
another five years, and that actually very
much more probably would be required
Continuing, Herr Erzeberger made several
illusions to the burdens which this gen
Grafton was creating for subsequent ones
by the policy of spending far beyond its
income.
Herr Sydow said he also was shocked by
the prospect Of having TO borrow $25OOOO. 600
and he declared that the empire must under
all circumstances abandon it's present bor-
rowing.
The committee adopted Herr Paasche's
proposal that the government present an
amortization scheme.

President Lewis of Mine Workers
Calls IL Something that Never

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April @.-T. L.
Lewis, president OF the United Mine
Workers of America, prior to the meeting
Of the joint Subcommittee, said today:
The coal miners are opposed to arbitra-
ton. II is a fad In the opinion Of the
miners based upon experience, arbitration
as exemplified by the selection of third
party to a dispute who is supposed to be
impartial, but who knows nothing about the
question in dispute never settled perma-
nently any labor controversy or any other
controversy. When the faddists get
through proposing things, the men who
have cold propositions to present will begin
I look for an early settlement Of the strike
Of the southwestern miners"
The operators have persistently held out
for arbitration of differences. Their propo-
sition was that the president Of the South
western Association Of Coal Operators and
President Lewis agree upon a third person
some impartial outsider who would settle
the differences.
President Lewis, in the course of an in
tervlew this morning, said that he thought
the differences between the miners and
operators of western Pennsylvania and
northern Colorado would be settled today
