CHARGES AGAINST GOMPERS
Was Intoxicated, Insists Labor Leader,
on Other Occasions
Wild Disorder.

Indianapolis, Feb. 2.-Scenes of the
widest disorder marked the CONVEX
ton of the United Mine Workers of
AmeXica, which heard Duncan Nc
Donald, secretary-treasurer of the ILL
nois miners, declare that Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, was "gloriously
drunk during the Seattle convention
and on other occasions; Gompers' de-
NAL, and the reiteration by Charles
III. Meyers, president of the Western
Federation of Miners, that if the con-
per strike in Michigan were to fail.
ii would be due to the lack of finan.
cial assistance given by the American
Federation of Labor.
The delegates showed little sym.
pathy for Gompers and he declared he
was being tried before a jury whose
minds were already poisoned" but
every point made by Meyer and Nc
Donald was wildly applauded. After
Mcdonald had concluded, the tumult
was so great that Gompers, despairing
of a hearing, put on his overcoat and
hat and started to leave. The dele.
gates were %silenced, however. by an
appeal from Meyer, and Gompers re-.
turned.

Most developments of the week are

improved sentiment rather than actual
expansion of demand is the basis for

plenish broken stocks, there has come
in many lines a cautious, almost slow
enlargement of operations which mark
the continuance of the conservatism
that has characterized trade for sew.

no apparent diminution of the tone of

APPROVE TREATIES
WITH ALL POWERS
PRINCIPAL COUNTRIES OF WORLD
INCLUDED IN PENDING
PACTS.
REHABILITATES ARBITRATION
Expected Treaties Will Be Passed on
Favorably Soon-FolIows
President Wilson's
Suggestion.

Washington, Feb. 2. - Responding
promptly to President Wilson's appeal,
made at the White House conference
last Monday night, the senate commit
tee on foreign relations has ordered
favorable reports on a large number
of arbitration treaties between the
United States and the leading coun-
before the senate later in executive
session and will come up for ratiica-
ton in the near future.
AS to Action.
This action will rehabilitate that eX-
tensive structure of arbitration which
had been gradually falling to pieces
by the expiration of the time limit Of
n treaty after another until all of
to expire.
While the treaties are yet to be rati-
fed, the favorable action of the COM
mittee and the strong incentive given
by the presidents appeal, promises to
lead to early and favorable action on
most, if not all, of them.
The far reaching character of this
group of treaties is shown by the long
list of first-rate powers with which
they are made, including most of the
great powers of Europe, South Amer,
lea, and the Orient. On the list are
Great Britain, Japan, Italy, Spain, Nor
way, Sweden, Portugal, Switzerland
and France, the pact with the latter
having been ratified last February.
Treaties Expiring.
Similar treaties which will expire
within a year of two exist with The
Netherlands. Denmark, China, Austria
Hungary, Peru, Salvador. Costa RIGA,
Paraguay, Haiti, Ecuador. Brazil and
Uruguay.

INFECTION OF FLY
SERIOUS MENACE

While everyone has good reason to
know that the fly is very annoying
insect, 1t is only within recent years
that we have obtained satisfactory
and reliable proof that il is danger
Gus medium of infection and evidence
is constantly accommodating to show
that it is probably responsible for the
transmission of many infectious dis.
eases for instance, cholera, typhoid
and tuberculosis. Besides the trans.
mission Of other infectious diseases,
il is undoubtedly accountable for the
contamination of food and drink
which is often the cause of intes-
final irritation. This. commonly oc-
ours during the warm weather and is
particularly fatal to young children,
over 5000 deaths from this cause
alone occurred in New York during
1910 There is also evidence that
parasitic worms may be introduced
into the system of the human being
by the fly. There are many varieties
of the fly found throughout the world
some Of which are very dangerous.
for instance, the Tsetse fly, which is
found in Africa, is responsible for the
transmission Of very fatal disease
known as the sleeping sickness"
This, as well as some OF our domestic
flies, bites. 1t is now believed that
one of the latter is capable OF trans
hitting the germs OF infantile paraly.
sis. Although contrary to the general
belief, the common house ny with
which we are chiefly concerned. for
IL constitutes more than 80 per cent
of all insects of this type. which in.
vades our homes. does not bite, but
transmits infection by their feet and
body and in this way contaminates
our food and drink. This variety has
received the name of the typhoid
fly" for ii is believed to be a very
frequent source OF infection in this
disease, particularly In the country
or in sparsely settled districts and
towns where priyy vaults are in com.
mon use. In addition to other articles
of food It is quite certain that milk.
both in the country and in the city.
is contaminated by the fly; this also
occurs in connection with stale fruit
; which is offered for sale from uncoy.
cred stands, in stores and on the
streets. The latter constitutes very
unsanltary and unhealthy means of
dispensing food and drink and are
particularly dangerous to children
