We NEED REFORM.
.
Samuel Un'ermyer Says Labor
Does Not ue. square Deal
From Capita low.
MONEY CRUSHING TIL: V|] KER
At an Industrial Commission Probe
Famous Lawyer Declared the
Laws Should be Changed.

New YORK. Jan 19.-Drawing a NiviC
picture of labor being slowly crushed
beneath the steadily increasing power
of concentrated wealth. Samuei Inter
myer, formerly attorney for the
money trust" investigating cCn!nit
tee, today called upon the government
federal commission on industrial rela
tons to aid the workers.
The trades unions and workers
organizations are graually growing
weaker he said. TO such an extent
has wealth cen concentrated in a few
hands, that capital is now arrayed
against labor in bitter, but neverthe-
less unequal struggle.
Many Reforms Needed.
I'VE need laws to protect the worker
and to curb the power of the corpora
tons. We need government insurance
against sickness. unemployment and
accidents. We need whole compre-
hensive system of reform. and | be
lieve the creation of this commission
has launched that movement. Labor
hasn't had a square deal. We're gen

Mr. l'ntermyer was the first witness
in the commissions inquiry into the
concentration of wealth and influence
on public thought and public policies.
with specific reference to the Rookie
Teller, Sage and other big 'founda-
TONS
Too Much Absentee Ownership.
Mr.. lntermyer attributed the pres
ent industrial unrest to absentee own
ership," and the accumulation of top
heavy fortunes.
The great trouble with our big
industrial leaders," he said, is that
they live in New York and know moth
ing of the working conditions OF their
men and even less of ,he sentiment
of the country New York, you know,
is even more provincial than Oshkosh
Mr.. I'ntermyer said it was rare that
directors running a corporation from
New York knew anything ahout the
business. They are just figureheads,"
he said.
Proposes Radical Changes.
Radical changes in the ferns OF or
ganization OF the Rockefeller and other
foundations were urged by Mr.. Inter
myer.
II do not share the fear and distrust
that these foundations may be mis-
managed" said Tntermyer. but | dc
suggest Tie following changes in their
form of Cr2an!' alton:
"First-1 hat they be Incorporated
under a federal law instead Of under
state charters.
"Sccond--That no perpetual charter |
be granted; there is no reason why
the next generation should be so
bound.
., "Third--Their size should be limited
"Fourth--That they should not be
allowed to further increase their size
by allowing their income to accumu- t
late"

Turks Cauaht In Trap.

LONDON, Jan. 21-Captures and on the scale described in the Russian report telling of an en- tire Turkish army corps taken prison CTS, with their commander and di- visional commanders, have been rare in this war, but the region in which the Turks and Russians are fighting made the feat easier than it would be on the plains of Poland or Fland- CTS.
 It is a region of high mountains and narrow defiles, where each col. umn of an advancing army might we'll have to depend on single line of retreat. and communication would be hopeless if the line were cut.
 The Turks strategy, following the precepts of their German mentors, has hitherto been a bold offensive. All of their forces are we'll on the Rus sian side of the frontier. and seen to have been moving forward in three main armies. the left directed on tht

great port of Batum, the center on Ardahan, and the right on the famous fortress of kars.
 It is the last named army which has come to grief at Sary-Kamish, about twenty miles beyond the bord- CT. Heavy fighting had been report ed for some days. The valley is mar row here, widening out as the road approaches nearer Kars.
 The other two invading Turkish columns are not directly affected by the surrender of Sary-Kamish, but it may compel at least one if not both of them to abandon it's offensive, and it removes the menace to Kars, which is perhaps the most important strategical position in the whole reg ion. In the last Russo-Turkish war the gallant Ottoman defense of Kass practically held up the whole Rus sian advance on that side.

WHAT $10 WILL DO.

A sort of paradox is the fact that thousands of people who make no e+- fort to save dollar when times are highly prosperous will develop and practice economy when work and op- portunity are less plentiful. The best way, of course, is to try and save at least d little all the time, putting by a larger amount when earnings are at their height. As nation we are not taught that economy which makes France the banker of the world, and whose accumulations come not from vast exports of natural resources, but from the combined small savings, con- sistently continued year after year, by the French people as whole.
 If the people of this country would save during the year 1915 an average of $1O per capita, the grand total at the end of the first twelve months would be the magnificent sum of one billion dollars.
 The French save, partly because it has become hereditary, and chiefly be- cause the children are brought up that way and are taught the dignity of accumulation. We, on the con- trary, in a spirit of false pride, are inclined to scorn the necessity of saving, as though it were something of which to be ashamed. If our own present experience shall teach us thrift, it will be a strengthening of a great national weakness.-Popula Mechanics Magazine.

SUFFRAGIsM IN 1915.

The year just begun is to see q strong effort by the woman suffrag ists to break into the East. Then conquests have been confined to the West; but this year the whole bat tie will be in the stronghold of con servatism. New York, Pennsylvania New Jersey and Massachusetts are to be the fighting ground. In each of these states the legislature has ap. proved thee submission to the people of a constitutional amendment, but it must again be passe dby another legislature to become effective, and the fight this year will be first to have the new legislature pass it and then to make the campaign before t,.e people.
 This campaign begins with the end of year in which the suffragists won some notable successes. In 1914 they increased the number of suffrage states to twelve, capturing Montana and Nevada, and increasing the num- Der of electoral votes to ninety-one. Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio and the two Dakotas voted in the negative. The new year opens with Gov. Beckman of Rhode Island recommending equal suffrage in his annual message On the other hand there is no reason to believe that they have made much progress in their efforts to capture New York, New Jersey, and Pennsyl-

DIARIES MINES WITH
 CARGO OF COTTON

BREMEN, Jan. 6.-It was owing to the daring of an American skipper that the steamship Fl Monte, which sailed from Galveston, Tex, on Dec. 3, and New York on Dec. II, arrived at Bremen on Jan. 1. The Ell Monte brought more than 5000 bales of cotton, the first to reach this port during the war. She was the first American merchantmen to visit Brenl- en in forty years.
 Captain Edward T. Pinchin of the Ell Monte, after the voyage across the Atlantic, took on British pilot at Deal, as England now does not class cotton as contraband, but fearing that the pilot would be interned if he entered German waters, the captain dropped him at the Hook of Holland. At the Hook Dutch pilots refused to assist the American skipper, saying that it was impossible on account of mines to complete the voyage.
 Captain Pinchin was determined to go on, saying that he would take his ship to her destination or know the reason why. According he proceeded without pilot, picking out his own course without mine charts or other aid. He made his way to Bremen; greatly to the amazement of the Ger mans, who were much interested in his adventure.
 Captain Pinchin says the voyage is comparatively easy, provided a skip. per uses common sense. The Ell Monte is to return to America shortly with 1,500 tons of mixed cargo.

THE STABILITY OF GOLD.

The entire worlds production cf gold last year was about $1,25O,OOO a day. The British South African mines, in the Transvaal, produced one-third of it. Every week some s. 000,O00 in gold bars is shipped from Cape Town to London. By an act of parliament the Bank of England is bound to take, at $19.05 an ounce, all the gold which is not sold at a high. CT price at the regular gold auctions on Monday mornings. If there is evi- dence that other nations are repre- scented at the auctions and the Bank of England requires the gold, it some times bids it in at more than the established rate, but it's selling figure for exportation, never goes above $19.O9 the ounce. because exporters can always have sovereigns at small fraction above that figure. As Lon don is the worlds great clearing house for gold it's value as a commodity is regulated in this way and the price of gold is established and steadied. As a commercial commodity gold may be no more stable than wheat or ccER, but the provision of the worlds gold market that the Bank of England must take all surplus gold at $19.05 an ounce, with the value of coined sovereigns practically $19.09, prevents fluctuation and saves the world no end of uncertainty.-San Diego Un. ion

Big Guns Moved Away From ostend.
 ROTTERDAM, Jan. 21.-Four more 2S-centimetre guns were removed on New Years from Ostend to Heyst to defend the coast The transference of such guns from Ostend is signi6. cant, as it indicates that no great at- tempt will be made to hold Ostend once the Allies commence their ad. vance along the coast. The line in- tended to be held by the Germans Is evidently further east.
 From the Dutch frontier three han- dred men have been observed during the last two days putting heavy guns into position. The cannon are easily visible from the frontier. It is stat ed that the houses destroyed at Heyst to give the clear line of fire seaward which the Germans desired, compris- ed the greater part of two new streets.

A GIGANTIC BUSINESS.

Some idea of the extent to which the motion-picture business has grown in the last few years may be gather ed from the announcement that the state board of censors examined more than 6,0O0,000 feet, or about 115 miles of film, submitted for approval dur ing the six months from June 1 to the end of November. Each flm av- erages thousand feet in length and runs fifteen minutes, so their exhibit tion alone would occupy over sixty two full days of twenty-four hours, or 187 working days of eight hours each.
 When such facts as these are brought to light it becomes clear why the so-called Legitimate" theatrical business has struck the worst slump this season ever known in it's his tory. Outside the big cities, which still can muster enough patrons of the straight drama and the lighter musical shows at $1.5O and g a head to keep the well-established play houses open, the business has virtu
 ally been abandoned, particularly jn what are known as the one-ntght stand circuits, formerly quite as pro fitable as the large week towns Tight money and slack industries may have helped, but there is little doubt that the change has beel

Izzet Pasha was for years Sultan Abdul Hamid's private secretary for foreign affairs" and planned the for: eign policy of the Porte. He knew when to have the Kurds descend up- on the Armenians and how far to play off the members of the Diplomatic Corps against each other, so as to bring gold to the pockets of his mas ter and to his own. The fact that he has been called "the Machiavelli of Turkey" but mildly suggests his activities.
 In 1908, on the eve of the revolu- tion, he became Sheik-to save his soul, he said. Then he joined the Young Turks to save his body. He finally escaped from the country in order, as he again declared, to keep body and soul together.
 He is reported to be very wealthy, with money on deposit in London and New York. He undoubtedly visited London in cognito half a dozen years ago and is also said to have been seen in New York.

Australian Wells.

Until the settlers in the rolling downs in western Queensland found out that they could get water by means of artesian wells they were seriously thinking of giving up their farms and ranches on account of many successive years of drought Now there are sev eral hundred such wells in Queens land, from which the settlers get an unfailing supply of water. The deep est well, which is at Bimerah. has a depth of 5.O45 feet. The shailowest we'll. at Manfred Downs. has depth of ten feet. The well at Charleville IS 1871 feet deep and produces 3,Ooo'Ooo gallons a day, the largest flow in the state. The daily flow from all the artesian wells of Queensland is est
