NO MANS LAND TITLES
PROMISE TEXAS TROUBLE
New Mexico Action on Boundary
Causes Land Complications

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Nov. 26.-
What is going to become of mo
Mans Land" in a forgotten part of
Texas? The decision Of the New
Mexican constitutional convention
boundary committee to report the
103d meridian as the boundary line
between Texas and Mexico has result
ed in an interesting tangle. Investi-
cation at the general land Office has
brought to light dispute over the east
boundary line of Texas from the Red
river north along Oklahoma and the
Texas Panhandle, and that John L..
Wortham of Houston, capitalist and
politician, has applied to purchase the
land, the ownership of which is in
mystery, something like sixty sections
which lie In a row for 126 miles.
The official survey shows a differ
ence of something like sixty chains
at the lower corner. A chain equals
sixty-six feet, which would make a
total discrepancy Of 1850 feet. That
difference extends for almost 1876
miles. Mr.. Workman has applied to
buy 1t all. A suit is to come up at
Childress, Tex, shortly involving the
title to one stretch of land in the
strip. Actual settlement will not be
required, because the land has never
been marked as discovered land. If
it should be awarded it might have
some effect on the New Mexican
boundary dispute. oklahoma also may
have something to say about 1t, as
the land may be claimed by that

LONDON TINES
SCORES UNIONISM
Labor Movement in England Said
to Be Shifting and UnCer-
tain of Leadership

LONDON, Nov. 26.-Labor is cutting
a very large figure in the affairs OF
England just at present The Times
says that the most remarkable thing
about the present industrial turmoil is
not the number, extent and variety Of
the disputes going on, but the beWll-
dering suddenness with which they
arise and disperso. 1t is difficult to
follow the movement from day to day,
1t shifts so rapidly, and impossible to
remember all it's phases. IT recalls the
incessant shifting of waters in the
Niagara rapids. At one moment they
heave and boil UP here, while running
smooth and level there; the next the
parts are reversed, the towering wave
flung toward heaven is gone and the
placid spot is foamng in fury. Unlike
the movements Of the sea, this motion
has no order to rhythm; you cannot
tell where 1t will break out next or
how long the upheaval will last. So 1t
is with the present rush of industrial
troubles; every day brings a fresh one
and removes another that seemed to
threaten disaster. Thousands of men
leave work on Monday and come back
on Tuesday or Wednesday, or next
week. One day they will not approach
the employers; the next they are quite
friendly; and they treat their officials
in the same way; now defying them
and now submissively following their
lead.
The latest Of these Kaleidoscope
. turns is the action of the South Wales
miners employed by the "Cambrian
Coal Combine" A week or two ago
they were attacking their own leaders
and some of them insisted on striking,
but changed their minds within a few
hours. Since then they have been
simmering with suppressed excitement,
which has carried them backwards and
forwards, first in one direction and
then in the other, until 1t is impossible
to say what their position is.
One can understand men settling
down to a determined struggle to get
more pay or to resist a reduction;
there is a solid and substantial stake
in it. But this flighty rushing into
trouble and then backing out of it is
quite a different thing. 1t is planless.
Perhaps that gives the clew to one
explanation. The men have no plan
because they have nobody to make
one. That used to be the function of
their leaders. who were trusted ac-
cordingly they attended to the bust
ness of the union and gave the men a
lead in peace or war. Now they are
too much immersed in politics to at
tend to the affairs of the union. They
have no plan and do not know how
to advise their members, who accord
ingly pay no attention to them. 1t is
one of the results of the modern po-
litical activity of the unions.
Reviewing the results Of the rorty-

third trade union congress at Shef-
field. the Standards correspondent
says: 1t has been the fashion in many
quarters to call the congress the par
lament of labor; / should say that d
much more appropriate name would De
the caucus of labor bureaucrats.
Practically every delegate belonged, OF
aspires to belong. to the official ana
salaried class by which trade unions
are managed and by which, to very
great extent. the whole labor move
ment is directed. Jealousies and rival
ries exist which often brought dele
gates into sharp personal conflict, put
when the common interests of the bu-
reaucracy were at stake 1t was WON
derful how completely they were
united.
In regard to some of the most i'm
portant matters connected with tfaue
unionism there was nothing that might
be called an Opposition" party in the
congress; there was nobody there 10
direct the light of independent CRU
icism on official action, because the
vast army composed of ordinary
members of the unions, who are known
to be in active or passive disagree
ment with their leaders policy on very
important points, do not seem to nave
obtained any representation. In order
to get an adequate idea of Wnat the
trade union congress was ike u Is
necessary to imagine an Imperial par
lament composed entirely of perma-
nent government officials. 1t Is not
at all likely that such parliament
would criticise the work and the meth-
ods of its own members or initiate de-
hates which might expose weaknesses
or abuses in the administrative sys-
TENS or governmental policies for
which they were responsible; and be-
cause trade union officials are only
mortal they do not allow awkward
subjects to appear on the agenda OF
| the congress.
Thus many most important ques-
tions in connection with trade union
| ism were never mentioned at this con-
gress: no reference was made, for IN
stance, to the enormous increase that
| has taken place in recent years IN the
cost Of managing the unions; to the
depletion of trade union funds and
their inadeduaey for assuring to mem
bers the benefits they are entitled to
expect; to the steady decline in trade
union membership; to the complaints,
so numerous nowadays, of arbitrary
expulsions of old members upon
totally insufficient grounds, and,
finally, there was absolute silence on
what most people will admit Is the
most vital of all the questions that
affect organized labor today-the de.
cay of authority and of the spirit of
discipline IN the unions, as shown in
the repeated refusal of sections of men
to do honor to engagements entered
itno on their behalf This mutinous
conduct threatens to destroy abso-
lutely the value of collective bargain
ing. and, therefore, the very ralson
detre of trade unionism, and yet 1T
was never once referred to, let alone
discussed. at this congress;

Los ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER q 1910

In the attitude of the Socialist organ

with one exception, larger circulation
than any other Bulgarian newspaper.
The "Kambana." which until three
or four weeks ago, steadily defended
the new regime against the charges Oh
other organs of the Bulgarian press,
now declares ITSELF obliged reluct-
aatly to admit that the satisfaction
and sympathy with which it welcomed
the Turkish revolution has not been
justified by the event. inasmuch as the
news fro-n Macedonia and the Adrian
ople vilayet-not to mention Albania
shows that in the policy they pursue
and the methods which they adopt
tho Young Turks are all too. faithful
imitators of the ex-sultan, whose au-
thority they have assumed.
The "Kambana" warns the authors
of the new Abdul -Hamidism' that
in their case as in his, the disregard
of all the principles of justice and llb-
erty will inevitably lead to self-de-
struction.
