PASS FOUNDATION BILL.

Washington.-The Rockefeller Founda.
tion bill passed the house of representa-
tives on January 20. In substance 1t pro
vides for charter under authority OF
the government and contains provisions
exempting from taxation the property to
be held in the foundation. The scheme
now represents $1O0,0O0.000, and upon
the face of the program 1t appears to be
scheme to evade taxation under the
cloak of an organization supposedly de-
voted to humanitarian and other kindred
efforts. While the bill passed the house,
1t has a rocky road to travel in the SEN
ate, with the chances against its pass
age.

BRANCH IN THE WEST.

Washington.-It has been suggested by
some OF those in congressional circles
that it might be good idea to establish
branch of the government printing Of
fee in some western city. 1t is claimed
that vast sum of money can be saved
to the government by having a proper
distribution of the heavy amount of
printing done. and that a large saving
can be had in the transportation OF pub
lie documents. 1t is pointed out that
numerous publications by the govern
ment. notably the agricultural year book.
OF which there are several hundred thou
sand printed and distributed from this
city. costs about one-third more to get
in the hands of the people than 1t would
II there were branch government print
ing Offices in certain sections of the
country. In line with the arguments put
forth II is stated that the reports of agri-
cultural experiment stations from all
over the nation are sent to Washington
to be printed and then returned as a
document to communities that are locat-
ed at great distances from Washington.
Many other instances of like character
are cited. Whether the suggestion will
receive sufficient report is matter
which time alone can demonstrate.

Indianapolis.-John P. White, presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America, is in Colorado for the purpose
of gathering Information relative to the
Colorado coal miners. with the end in
view of submitting the facts gathered to
congressional investigation, If one can
be secured. The coal miners in the
northern fields of Colorado have been on
strike for a long period, and are victims
of what is termed the Coal Trust. In
fact, an effort has been made to EXTERN
mate the union in Colorado. 1t will be
remembered that, owing to this strike,
sixteen coal miners, something over a
year ago. were sent to prison for con-

A NEW COMEDY OF THE CHRISTIAN
TRADE UNIONS IN GERMANY.

The "Christian" organization of Ger
man miners, at conference OF thelr
delegates of the Saar district, neld III
December. decided to hand in notices for
all their members in that district Inc
strike was to commence on January Z.
The free or independent miners union
wished to combine with the CHRISTIAN OF
ganization in the strike, yet tney were
not allowed to attend any of the meet
ings. and their representatives were re-
moved from the christian" meetings
and refused permission to speak. Inc
movement sprang from the extremely
low wages and conditions OF WORK pre-
vailing at the state-owned collieries,
which by recently issued new reguia-
tions will become still worse
Up to December 26, the Christian pa
pers declared that the strike could not
ANYHOW be avoided. as in conference
with the Prussian minister of commerce,
no acceptable arrangement could be ar
rived at. Later, on December 29, an
other conference of the leaders OF the
Christian unions was held, after which
it was decided to make it known that the
union leaders could not countenance the
strike any longer, as the reason for
walkout had been removed. 1t might De
mentioned that the Sunday before, the
clergy in the whole district had in the
Catholic bishop, warning the men not TO
use the terrible strike weapon, as every
thing would be arranged in time. The
strike danger has thus been removed
The attitude of the Christian leaders,
over which the delegates were much ex-
cited and which is bound to have serious
consequences for their organization,
turns out to be but a comedy, for the
situation since the conference with the
minister has not altered bit. The min
ers of the pure Catholic" Catholic and
Christian unions fight each other terribly
in Germany, each group claiming to have
been endorsed by the pope) miners
union had from the outset decided not to
take part in the strike but to continue
working.
A similar decision was announced by
the Christian trade union representatives
at the time of the great colliery strike OF
last year in the Ruhr district. On this
occasion all other organizations stood
side by side in the movement, which was
suppressed by the employers with the
help of the christian unions" 1t ap-
pears that they are now receiving their
thanks in a similar way through the
agency of their Catholic" neighbors.

Seattle.-A general strike of all cleo
trical workers employed by the Stone
and Webster interests in the Northwest
including Seattle, Tacoma, Everett and
Bellingham, has been called. All union
men have ceased work and their ranks
have been augmented by many non

issue between the strikers and the com
pany, and a uniform wage scale to apply
in all the cities involved is another de
mand. The traction and light companies
of the cities mentioned are involved in
