LONDON, Jan. Like the stub

days of the war on which hinged the
German occupation of West Flanders.
the struggle for the knoll of ground
northeast OF Soissons, known as
Spur 1872, still remains undecided to-
day. according to Information re-

however, by their counter attacks ap-
pear to be in the better position to

In view Of the relatively small
amount OF ground gained the losses
have been heavy on both sides but the
Germans show no signs of giving up
their attempts to retake the hills In

ELECTION
tMuddle is Cleared and Citizens
Party is in the Saddle at
SteaIey Heights.

The town election muddle at Stea-
ley Heights has virtually cleared it
self. The dipping Of a coin was re-
sorted to at meeting Of the coun-
ell there Wednesday night to decide
tie between y. I. s. Stealey on the
Peoples ticket and w. Edward Stew
art on the Citizens ticket for tcoun-
Gil membership and Stealey won.
Contest between Charles T. Stealey
on the Citizens ticket and IA. j.
West on the Peoples ticket for the
|mayoralty will hardly be prosecuted
as Steaiey had one majority and
West Is about to7moee ts Fenasyf-
yania, where he has been employed
lseveral weeks. Also in this connec.
Ition It Is certain that the vote OF
Andrew Hacker, colored, was letal
as 1t can be easily established by
about half dozen witnesses that he
was a legal resident OF Stealey
Heights when he voted. The Peo-
pies party first thought to prevent
Stealey from taking his seat on the
| ground that Hatcher had no right to
vote and as he did so the election
was illegal.
L Certificates OF election were issued
by the council Wednesday night to
Charles =. stealey as mayor, M. B.
Newton as recorder and DR.. Luther
Raymond. Charles NJ. Shinn and Sam
SINNERS. as councilmen all of the
Citizens party, and to j. i. s.. Stea-

both Of the Peoples party.
Thus the Citizens party will be ii

be inducted.

Chairman Walsh Says Congress Should Cite Them for
Contempt if They Continue to Defy the Nation

Chicago-"If the next Congress rep
resents the people of the United States,
its first act will be to cite before it
John d. Rockefeller, John ID. Rookie
feler. Jr.. and Mackenzie King, their
tool. And il these men continue to de-
fy the Nation they should be indicted
for crime against the government and
sent to jail.
Frank p. Walsh, chairman OF the com
mission on industrial relations, made
this declaration before several thousand
men and women at a mass meeting call
ed to protest the trial and conviction Of
Join K. Lawson.
The demand that the Rockefellers
and their press agent be jailed was made
in connection with the refusal of these
men to answer certain questions put to-
them while before the commission on in

"In the trial of Lawson the honor and

is absolutely on trial"
James Lord, president of the A. f..

Jones also spoke. The former declared
that John ID. Rockefeller directed the

WAGES BOARDS CAN'T MEET.

for refusing to permit wages boards to

resentativcs of employers and employees
who adjust wage scales and working
conditions. Workers are demanding
that the boards be permitted to convene,
as has been done in New Zealand, New
South Wales and other States that have
removed the embargo. The minister of
labor refuses to Weld. but has given as
er'rarce that each individual case will
be considered by him. and if workers
can show a change in waoe scales is
necessary, he will permit the board in
that industry or calling to consider same.
Because of the governments negative

fore Judge Mandell and at last the court

you give some specific reason why

vague and very general charges you
make"
Mrs. Zapor hesitated but moment
and then she shot out the words like a
rattle of musketry. Her husband looked
startled and flushed while the entire
courtroom turned to look at the man
who had been described as the champion

ing. The pretense that any grievances

President Not Deceived.
1t would be an insult to the inteli-
gence of the President and the Secre-
tary of State to assume for a moment
that they will be deceived by such pal
pably insincere manoeuvers as these. If
Germany means to express due regret
for the intolerable injuries she has COM
mitted, if she means to make reparation,
so far as reparation is possible" she
must avow her intentions openly. The
United States has nothing to do with
the domestic politics of GERMANY. n
humble apology for wrong-doing, if
the discontinuance of the methods of
submarine warfare she has practiced, if
return to the principles of civilization
will humiliate the German Government
in the eyes of the German people and
make its position difficult or dangerous,
that is no affair of ours. 1t went into
this business with its eyes open, and it
must stand the consequences. The Ad-
ministration has been very. very patient
through all this controversy. 1t has al
lowed to Count Won Bernstorff liberty
such as no other Ambassador has ever
sought or received. 1t has permitted
plots against its neutrality which it
might have punished severely But
there are some things it cannot permit.

mugger diplomacy, of the plain answer

"Organize' is heard from every plat
form in the three districts. "Those who
would be helped must first try to help
themselves" declared President White
in one Of his speeches. Operators do
not look upon the mine workers organi-

affiliated miners, they only count the
strength of the organization. Conse-
qucntly the fellow on the outside of the
union is the best friend of the opera

To show his faith in organization,
President White makes this pledge
which is receiving hearty Endorsement
by miners who know what trades union

his testimony before the arbitration
board in Chicago last week, said
he whole tendency of the civil
lied worll is toward the reduction OF
the hours of labor. For the last twenty
four wears we have been contending in
America for an eieht-hour day. 1t is
not only benefit to men and women
who are employed, but it is a sign of
economic advance
In the horse car days our men work
ed from twelve to sixteen hours a day.
They fired the mules and substituted
electric cars, but no benefit from the
improved machinery came to the men
who toiled. There is no other way for
a working man to share in the benefits
OF improved machinery except by short
er hours and better wages.
we contend these improvements
weren't created solely for our friends,
the capitalists. to get more dividends.
