The victory OF the Labor party in
the general election just held In Aus
tralia was more propounced than AT
first reported. The Labor party VIII
have majority OF l3 seats In the low
er house over both old parties and 10
to the good in the senate. The vote
was large and the Conservative and
Liberal parties seem completely de
moraliZed The two old parties may
form new alignment, although this
will prove rather difficult. as one
stands for protection and the other
for free trade.
The Labor party espouses moderate
tariff, or what Is termed new pro
lection" The party promises TO pro
teCt the workers from the competition
of Asiatic labor. II will be made more
and more difficult for Chinese, Jap
anese, Koreans, Hindus and other
orientals To enter the country.
"A White Australia" was one Of the
catchwords of the campaign.
An important result of the election
was the carrying of a referendum
proposition that the national govern
ment assume the debts of the various
states This means that the principle
OF Capitalization has triumphed, that
states rights" will be confined within
narrow limits, and that the general
government will become all.powerful

In the last 10 years. miners officials
declare. over 10000 men lost their
lives in the mines. The death rate In
Great Britain has been so per cent
less. although there are 100000 more
men employed in the mines in that
country than In the United States. In
Belgium only a fraction over one per
son in 1000 is killed in the mines.
Here the death rate is 3.46.
The new bureau will have TO deal

that the outlines OF the model bureaus
In Er gland, Germany and France will

expects 90 arrest 80 more within the
course OF the next few months He ar
firms that nearly S55.J0O.OOO have been

This huge sum is fairly well dis

The question arises: How is 30 pos
