Official Statistics Show That More

Year.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 11.-Labor
chiefs from the entire country gath
cred here for the thirty-third annual
convention of the American Fedora
tion of Labor.
Minimum wage legislation, especial
ly for women, will be one of the big
gest problems before this session.
The labor chiefs, believing that the
minimum wage for women workers is
a proper solution of low pay at this
time, will urge that the federation go
on record in favor of il.
Determined opposition in some quar-
ters was expected at the opening of
the convention, because many of the
several hundred delegates argued that
capital would take advantage of such
legislation and make the minimum
standard also the maximum. This con
tention was answered by the claim
that only by setting some standard can
women workers gain a fair wage un-
der the present labor conditions.
Growth of the Industrial Workers OF
the World movement did not alarm
the leading delegates and they de
clared that this new labor sect
preaching syndicalism rather than per
suasion. had not assumed dangerous
proportions and had interferred only
in some instances with workers who
preferred to join unions.

London, Nov. 11-Walter II. Page,
United States ambassador, presented
to the British foreign office another
message from President Wilson, the
general effect of which is that under
no circumstances will the president
recognize Provisional President Huer-
Ia or any of his acts.
President Wilson's message is re.
garded here as in the nature of an in
term report not calling for reply.
Great Britain, therefore, awaits a
more definite pronouncement from
President Wilson setting forth precise
ly the steps he purposes to take to en-
force his policy before sending for
NAL reply.
British officials are inclined to re.
sent what they term the persistent
misrepresentation of Great Britain's
attitude current in the United States.
They deny that any British money
has been advanced to support Provi-
sional President Huerta.

Washington she must be eighteen.

Mrs Powell UP to yesterday was Miss

bridegroom eloped from their homes in
the Virginia town to Rockville Tuesday
night. about half past 10. and besought
the marriage license clerk for the neces-
sary document. There was nothing doing,
he said, because Mrs. Powell was in

Bloodless European War.
from the Detroit News.

From the Detroit News.
While Europe cannot be said to be en-
joying herself, still conditions were never
better for the war enthusiasts, unless, in
deed, actual war is the more blessed
state. A money stringefcy has blighted
commerce and even the British colonies
are suffering because the stream of gold
has stopped running, and boarding has
become fashionable in Europe. The Ber-
line boerse and the Paris bourse. are suf-
fering quite as much as Lombard street
from the acute financial condition that
followed the popular boarding fever.
Why should the Europeans take to
boarding their money In socks and bed
ticks at this juncture? For a very pal
pable reason. 1t Is one of the beneficent
features Of a war scare. So long as the
Balkan war continues. a general war is
not improbable. And it is more than a
probability that impends. There are more
Austrian soldiers sleeping on their guns
on the eastern boundary than there are
men in Vienna, or farmers in Bohemia.
There are more Russians under arms on
the Russo-Austrian frontier than there
are adult males in st. Petersburg. The
Germans are raising more money for
war supplies this year than was used to
finance the Franco-Prussian war in it's
entirety.
