CRISIS BEFORE ENGLAND
IS HELD UNPARALLELED
Balf0ur Turns Guns on Mini.
mum Wage Bill in House
of Commons.

LONDON, March q. - The gravity of
Great Britain's national peril arising from
the labor war, which Arthur ]. BaIfour,
the unionist statesman, characterized as
passing in magnitude anything that this
country has heretofore experienced, was
reflected in the tense atmosphere Of the
house of commons this afternoon when
the minimum wage bill came up for
second reading.
The house has not been seen so crowded
for years. Every gallery was packed.
Premier Asquith formally moved the
second reading of the bill. and then yield
ed the floor to Mr.. Balfour, who moved
it's rejection.
This country" said Mr.. Balfour, has
never before been faced with a crisis
such as this. We are witnessing the new.
strange and pOrtentous spectacle OF a
single organization, acting within Its legal
powers. threatening to paralyze the whole
trade of the country.
Liberals Warning.
There is no indication that the lead
the use of their legal powers with any
consideration of mercy. Was there
ever an American trust at any period
used the powers given to it by the
law to the detriment OF private inter-
ests and general trade to the extent
we are now witnessing?'
Liberal members of parliament are
warning the labor members that should
the bill be defeated it will be necessary
for the government, which is friendly
to them, to resign and hand over the
management of the country's affairs
to the unionist party, which is not SO
friendly. a general election would, it
is pointed out be impossible until the
dispute is settled, and the government
would be carried on without a parlia-
ment.
The total of the men out of employ
ment is increasing daily, and it is now
estimated that besides the million miners
on strike nearly 2,OO0,OOO other persons
have been rendered idle.
1t is thought probable that unless some
thing is done quickly to bring the crisis
to an end hunger marches such as took
place last night in the fishing town of
to the town hall and begged for relief,
will become common sight all over the
country.
Heads Broken in Riot.
GLASGOW, Scotland, March 21.-A
pitched battle occurred today at Kirk
connel, in Dumfrieshire, between striking
miners and the police. Many heads were
broken among the combatants. The po-
lice ultimately routed the miners. of
whom ter were arrested.
The miners, incensed at nom unionists
resuming work, had attacked the non
unionists and were beating them severely
when the police appeared on the scene.
A series of police charges ensued, in
which the policemens clubs We're freely
used.

in the Union today where the people are
as happv as the Porto RicanS are with
the government they have" he said.
There is only one complaint the Porto
RiCans make against the United States
government. and that, / think, is a just
one: they feel that they have right to
American citizenship. That feeling was
expressed and favored in the platforms
of both parties in this country. and both
President Roosevelt and President Taft
urged the comforting of such citizenship.
There is absolutely no reason, especially
in view o these long-standinS promises,
why Porto Ricans should not be made
citizens. Without it they feel today that
the Porto RiCan is man without coun-
try"

TO SUMMON L. o. MURRAY
Controller of Currency Will Be
Called on for Information.
SUBCOMMITTEE IS CRITICISED
Individual Members Chafe at Policy
of Secrecy That Is
Being Pursued.

An examination into the directorates,
directorate relationship and stock books
OF the national banks of the United States
Will be the first move of the congressional
investigation of the so-called money trust
This decision was reached by a subcom-
mittee of the banking and currency COM
mittee today. Accordingly two members
Of the committee. Representative Ste
phens of Mississippi and Byrnes of South
Carolina, were au,horized to call on Con-
troller of the Currency Lawrence o. Muir
ray and get his ideas on the best method
of procedure in this direction.
Data Must be Compiled.
Mr.. Murray can give the committee the
detailed information now in his Office. 1t
may take some days to prepare a COM
pilation of this information in form
which the committee can grasp readily.
The determination of the committee to
begin it's work at once prompted the as
signment of two members to visit Mr..
Murray.
Individual members of the committee
are chafng under the criticism of their
investigation, which is heard about the
House. The secrecy of the movements of
the subcommittee and the silence which
greetS all requests Tor information have
prompted some to criticise, and members
Of the committee do not relish it.
May Do Without Counsel.
The committee spent much time look
ing for a lawyer to conduct its in
vestigation. One of the most eminent
lawyers summoned to the committee
has told it that it can proceed best in
it's own way. This idea has impressed
itself on the committee, and it was
practically agreed today to go ahead
without lawyer.
If the necessity of counsel becomes
apparent the committee may renew it's
quest for suitable counsel. Chairman
Pujo is absent from Washington at
this time and it is the belief of the
majority of the committee that he IA

HORSE AND STABLE FUND
NOT TO Be USED BY KNOX
Expenses of Trip Come From
Emergency Appropriation,
Say Officials.

1t will not be necessary to use the
"horse and stable fund of the State De-
partment to pay the expenses OF Secre-
tary Knox's South American trip. accord
ing to officials of the State Department.
The members of the committee on ex-
penditures in the State Department. of
which Representative Hamlin of Missouri
is chairman, think differently.
At the State Department 1t was ex-
plained today that the Secretaary's ex-
penses are being betrayed from what is
known as the emergency fund" pro-
vided in the regular diplomatic and con-
s,llar appropriation bill. The item reads:
ITO enable the President to meet any
unforeseen emergencies arising In the
diplomatic and consular service and TO
extend the commercial and other interests
of the United States, $4,000.
Refuse to Dignity Charges.
It was William McNeir. chief clerk of
the State Department, who suggested to
the Hamlin committee that the horse and
stable furd might be available, but as 1t
amounted to only ss,00o. would pay only
very small part of the expenses OF the
Secretary's trip
At the department the of1lcials In charge
would not dignity with official comment"
the facts brought out before the Hamlin
committee to the effect that Secretary
Knox's colored valet is carried on the
roll of the mailing room of the State De-
partment at $1,000 year
They insisted, however. that higher Of
ficials of the government often were un-
der the necessity of doing a large part or
their government work at home, fnvolv-
ing the employment outside of the de-
partment of stenographers, clerks and
messengers.
chairman Hamlin said today that when
the South American trip was over the
committee would endeavor to ascertain
whether Mr.. Knox's government-paid col
ored valet was of material assistance to
him In running the government after reg
ular Office hours.

FOURTEEN ARE RESCUED
FROM SANS bO|S MINE
Attracted Relief Party by Tap
ping Signals on
the Airpipe.

McCURTAIN. Okla, March o1.-Four-
teen more workmen We're rescued from
the Sans BOis mine today. This makes
total of twenty-five miners brought
forth alive from the workings that were
wrecked yesterday by a fatal blast and
cavern.
Fifteen corpses had been recovered to-
day up to II o'clock this forenoon. Esti-
mates of the number of men at work at
the time of the explosion vary between
92 and 116.
An appeal for aid for the sufferers from
the mine disaster was issued at a mass
meeting here today.
Eleven of the fourteen men rescued to-
day We're able to come out unassisted
and three were carried out.
When the explosion occurred the four
teen were near the south thirteenth en-
try. They quickly made their way to
the room, which is only eight by ten feet
in size. There they found an air pump
about the top of which they crowded
closely. changing positions frequently sc
that all might benefit. They built a cur
tain at the entrance to exclude foul air
and gas. Tappings, the sounds of which
were conveyed to the rescue party along
the air pipe, led to their discovery.
Twenty Corpses Recovered.
During the night twenty bodies, black
ened and multilated almost beyond rec.
ognition. We're recovered and additiona
bod es were located.
This morning volunteers came from
nearby mines and the rescue parties were
more Systematically organized under the
direction of mining experts from the gov
ernment station at McAlester. Before
nightfall it is expected that practically
every recess in the mine will be pene-
trated.
The cause of the explosion has not been
definitely determined.

Action Unexpected.

The action of the committee was sud-
den and unexpected and it was even de-
eided that there should be no democratic
caucus relating to the bill. This will
obviate. altogether the inevitable fight
that would be made by the free wool ad-
herents. 1t is probable however, that
when the bill comes up on the floor. the
radical free wool democrats may make a
stand.
The action of the democratic leaders is
In the face of the report of the tariff
board which came to the House last De-
cember. President Taft in his veto of
the bill as passed by the House and
Senate last summer urged as the princi-
pal reason for his veto that there had
then been no report from the tariff board
on the subject.

Underwood's Statement.

| after careful consideration of the
| tariff boards report said Chairman
Underwood lit was determined to intro
duce the bill about as we introduced it
last summer carrying a 20 per cent ad
valorem duty on raw wool, a reduction of
about 80 per cent from the duties Of the
Payne-Aldrich law.
I'VE have introduced the same bill
purely as a revenue measure because IT
was necessary to provide the revenue. 1t
WAS decided also to make the same re-
port on the bill that was made last sum-
mer. The committee could not find, after
studying the report Of the tariff board,
any reason to make any change in the
measure. 1t was the unanimous conclu-
sion that no cause existed to frame an
other bill, and we will endeavor to have
the bill passed in the House as soon as
possible.
The bill differs from the bill vetoed by
the President principally in the duty as
summer carried 20 per cent, but after
the conference with the Senate commit
tee the House leaders yielded and the
bill as finally passed carried a % per
cent duty on raw wool. Other features
of the bill introduced are as sent to the
House last summer: Combed woods, %
per cent: wholly or in part of wool, 80
Per cent; cloths, knit fabrics, felts not
woven and manufactures of wool, 40 per
cent: blankets and. flannels, valued above
80 cents pound. 45 per cent: women s
cent; readynade clothing, 45 per cent
weddings, landings, botings. braids
etc, 30 per cent: carpets. 40, 3J and 30
Der cent. according to grade

publican member of the committee and

conform to the report of the tariff
board.
Representative Fordney of Michigan

tain no reduction. 1t is probable, how
