Provided Wage Increase.

Dispatches from Cardiff at the time
the strike was settled last month SAID
that the terms accepted by the miners
as a result of Mr.. Lloyd Georges trip
to Wales provided for a substantial in
crease in wages and other concessions
to the strikers. which were considered
by them as tantamount to an admission
of their claims on nearly all outstand-
ing points. Mr. Lloyd George won the
men over not only by promising con-
cessions but by emphasizing the fact
that uninterrupted operation OF the
coal mines was highly essential TO the
conduct of the war.
Mr.. Runcimans award contained
wage concessions. but rejected a num-
Der of demands relating to working
conditions, hours of labor and arbitra-
ton arrangements.

"Important works of art privately
owned, in which the people of the
nation may properly be said to have a
reversionary interest, will be thrown
on the market. and that Will not be the

reason why it should not constitute

1T has long Deen perceived tnat tnlS

only for great works of art. and that
selling practically always means SELL
ing out of the country. This state of
affairs will continue, with aggravation
from conditions arising out of the war,
irrespective of the Importance of the
works allowed to depart, if the people
do not awaken to the fact that it is
their own inheritance that is being
disposed of. and, as soon as great

U. S. Can Claim Victory,
Says British Paper of
New Submarine Policy

LONDON, August 27.-Cable dis
patches reporting the statement yester-
day of Count Won Bernstorff, German
ambassador at Washington, to Secre-
tary Lansing that German submarine
commanders had been ordered to attack
no more merchantmen without warning
are displayed prominently today in the
London newspapers. The Westminster
Gazette says:
1T Count Won Bernstorff is speaking
with full authority. the American gov
eminent can claim to have won a very
notable victory"
1T is suggested that the American
government will be satisfied if COM
manders of German submarines always
warn passenger vessels and place their
passengers in boats before sinking the
vessels. says the Spectator. I'VE do
not believe for moment that America
would consent to this caricature of
satisfying international law and HUI
name customs.
Imagine placing women and children
in small boats sixty miles from land, in
a high winter sea and piercing cold,
and saying that their safety was pro-
vided for! Now we are sure. If Ger
many means to prevent America from
taking action of some kind, she will
have to change her policy drastically.'

the consumption of distilled liquors.
1t is proposed that the government in
the Berlin district forbid the sale of
these liquors after : o'clock in the
evening on ordinary days and entirely
on Sundays and holidays and the days
preceding and following them, and to
restrict all sales to brands costing a
minimum of marks (SD per liter,
which is slightly over one quart.

is unwilling to introduce such a dras-

restrictions. The dealers are opposing
the proposal.

Last Two Days May See Rush.

1nasmuch as the dealers have now ad-

the new law it is suggested that there
is not so great a need this year for the
early filing of applications, and that
the rush for permits will not set in
until the last two days of the month.
1t also is suggested that dealers, on ac-
count of unfavorable business condi-
lions produced by the brewery strike,
prosecutions and other features, will
avoid putting up the deposits required
with the applications until the end of
the month. The deposits required are
$1,000 for retail and $500 for a whole

RAILWAY PROPOSITION
RATED AS UNJUSTIFIED
Permission to Discontinue Practice
Relating to Freight in Transit
Is Denied by I. c. c.

The proposal of railroads operating
in what is known as Central Freight
Association and western classification
territories 10 discontinue generally the
practice of stopping freight cars in
transit to complete loading or partially
to unload was rejected by the inter-
state commerce commission today as
unjustified. The commission had sus-
pended until September the effective
ness of the withdrawal of the practice
and today ordered the cancellation OF
the tariffs which would have made the
change.
Under the practice now sustained by
the commission cons.gnee can pur-
chase from two different concerns or
have shipped from factories located at
two different points separate lots OF
goods which taken together make up
is intermediate between the first ship
ping point and destination.
Claim Made by Western Roads.
The western roads claimed that a
large shipper with factories located at
two or more points has an advantage
over his rival with only one plant, and
the eastern roads contended that the
| carload rate should apply only car
load shipment from the original ship
ping point to single destination.
The National Industrial Traffic League,
the National Implement and Vehicle
Association and many other organiZa-
tons and shippers protested that with
draWal of the stop-over practice would
have intensified discrimination, result
ing from difference between carload
and less than carload rates, in favor OF
the large manufacturers, and that to
the smaller manufacturers and shippers
the stop-over practice is the means OF
overcoming the special advantages OF
the larger concerns.
The commission said its decision was
not to be construed as approving all
the existing rules governing stop-over
practice on the various commodities at
fected, nor as implying that the stop
! over service must be continued indef-
| initely on all the commodities or in all
localities. Commissioner Harlan dis
| scented from the decision.
