BALTIC TRADE PARALYZED
Activity OF British Submarines Puts
End to Business.

Stockholm, Oct. 14.-Activity OF
British submarines in the Southern
Baltic has virtually paralyzed what
hitherto has been lively mercantile
trade between Sweden and Germany.
All along the Swedish coast steamers
have been stopped and submarines
frequently have been reported in the

Within the past twenty-four hours
five vessels of considerable tonnage
have been sunk. They were the Lu.
lea. Germania, Nicodemia Gutrune
and one other, the name of which is
not known.
The Germania was chased ashore

mite.

ships torpedoed. The ferries OF the
Swedish state railways from Trelle-

nation aroused widespread comment
in diplomatic and parliamentary quar-.
ters in France owing to the prominent
part he had taken in shaping the for
eign policy of the government since
the first months of the war, when he
resumed his old place at the head of
the foreign office. His retirement at
this particular moment. when the Bal

some surprise, though those closely
identified with governmental affairs
were not entirely unprepared for the
change.
One of the main reasons assigned
for the retirement of the foreign min

RESERVE BOARD OPPOSED
No United States Banks for Central
and South America.

Washington, Oct 14.-The federal
reserve board has announced it has
decided not to favor establishment of
joint agencies of federal reserve
banks in South and Central America.
The establishment of agencies
would mean the locking up of re-
serve money in long time loans sub
jeet to fluctuations of foreign ex-
change.
Ii is probable that such agencies
may be established in the Latin coun-
tries when normal conditions have
resumed sway in Europe. When the
reserve bank can help in the de-
veloping of American banking by es
tablishing direct connection in Latin
American countries, it will do so.

Purpose OF Campaign.
April /, 1915, the present agreement
between the Anthracite coal operators
and the mine workers throughout the
Anthracite belt will expire. Unless
satisfactory arrangements have been
concluded by that time the coal mines
will practically be at a standstill
Most everyone is familiar with the
long struggle of 1900. when over a
hundred and fifty thousand Anthracite
coal miners struggled for year to
secure an increase in wages, shorter
work day and general improved work
ing conditions as well as recognition
of the union. The strike was finally
terminated by the appointment OF .
commission by ex-President Roosevelt
which made the award oft19O2 grant
ing the miners small increase, but
refusing to give them the leverage OF
union recognition. Since 1902 the
miners have struggled to perfect their
organization, but every contract year
has found them weak in numbers with
the result that only one increase IN
wages has been received by them

since 1902. This increase was secured
in 1912, when out Of total of 10000
men and boys employed in the mines,
less than 10000 were paid UP mem
bers of the union. Other betterments
secured in 1912 was the recognition
of the grievance committees at all
mines for the settlement of disputed
questions arising from deficient work
Recognition of the union, however,
waaSdenied. The operators insisted
thaf was not fair to ask them to
recogaize a union that the miners
themselves did not recognize unitedly.
Therefore, President White, of the ma
tional organization, is conducting a
membership campaign with the hope
of building the organization UP to the
highest point in order that the rep
resentatives of the miners will have a
solid membership backing when they
again meet the operators.
Wonderful Growth Since 1912.
The 10000 membership Of 1912 has
grown during the past three years to
100, 900, the highest ever known in the
Anthracite field. Union officials esti-
mate the number of men employed in
and about the mines not now affiliated
with the union at $4,000 who are
eligible for membership. On this fig
ure the promoters of the campaign
base their hope for hundred per
cent organization and adopted their
campaign slogan, after fifty thou
sand converts !" In every mining
town the miners are showing intense
interest in the campaign. Mines are
always closed on meteing days and
the membership committees Of local
unions are making house to house
canvass of the non-afi1iated workers
in order to get them out in full force
to attend the meetings and hear their
chieftain plead unity for the common
good of all. Business men who are
hopeful that the expiration of the
contract will not cause a serious OF
lengthy suspension Of work are also
taking considerable interest in the
meetings. They, too, realize that il
the miners are to share in larger
measure the big profits enjoyed BY
the operators that their only hope o
success lies in numbers.
