Port of Spain, Trinidad, Jan. o.
The negotiations between w. l.
Buchanan, the special envoy of the
United States and the Venezuelan
government, looking to a settlement
of the outstanding differences be-
tween the two countries, came to a
complete deadlock on certain points
contained in the draft of the first pro-

negotiations will be completely dis
continued, unless the United States
modifies its contention that the
claims of the New York and Bermu-

ton.

TO BE ACTIVE
IN POLITICS
Mine Workers Want Friends In
Legislatures and Congress.
SOCIALISTS SCORE A POINT


Country-Another Effort to Put the
Convention On Record In Favor of
independent Labor Party Fails.
Indianapolis, Jan. 29.-The conven-
ton of the United Mine Workers of
America adopted a resolution on be-
helf of Christian Rudowitz and Jan
Pouren. Russian refugees in this
country, whose cases have been con-
sidered lately by the state depart
ment on extradition proceedings on
the part of the Russian government
The resolution further demands the
abrogation of the treaty which pro-
vides for the extradition of persons
charged with offenses against a ma
ton where persons so charged are
not to be tried by jury of their
peers" This resolution is intended
also to apply to Mexican refugees
fleeing across the Rio Grande to es-
cape prosecution resulting from labor
troubles in that country
Another effort made to put the con-
vention on record as favoring the in
stitution of an Independent labor
party" failed. This and similar meas
Hres have come from unions that are
not socialistic in their views, but
nevertheless feel that as neither of
the old parties will take action on
the part of the laboring class as
against the capitalist class, there
should be organized a new party for
this purpose. The Socialists, of
which there are about 300 in the con-
vention. oppose this policy as antag-
onistic to their already established
party.
A resolution recommending that
the union miners should be active in
politics and try to nave elected to
state legislatures and to congress
men whose sympathies are publicly
known to be with the working class
was enthusiastically adopted.
While care is taken by the miners
leaders that the organization shall
not take definitely socialistic
, course, and q resolution for govern
ment ownership of coal mines has
been defeated, nevertheless the So
cialists have been successful in put
ting through a resolution recommend
ing public ownership of the wealth
producing agencies" of the country,
(which are now in control of the
predatory rich" and that there should
be social reorganization to the eff
feet that eacn man should receive the
equivalent of the labor that he gives
to the community This resolution
was adopted without a dissenting
voice.
1t is authoritatively announced by
friends of Thomas L. Lewis, presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers Of
America, that the count of the bal
lots has proceeded far enough to show
that he has been reelected by a ma
1ority OF between $4,000 and 10000
over his opponent, John Walker of
Illinois.
