ABOUT l60,000 BELGIAN REFUGEES IN ENGLAND
British Public Facing Problem t
 Care for Uaf0TtunatcS.

London, Dec. -(Correspondenca of the Associated Press) -One of the hardest problems facing the British public with the beginning of the new year is that of caring for the Belgian refugees in England, who now num-
 Der at least 16o,oo0. Most of them are at present guests in private houses al; over the country and small pro- portion are assembled In hotels or
 boarding houses.
 It is obvious that private hosts will
 not care to make their hospitality a
 permanent matter. In fact many of
 were limited to a period of one or
 two months. The government has not
 assumed a very definite responsibil-
 ity in the matter, although evidently it
 will be compelled to do so soon. The
 government is handicapped, more over, by the fact that it's resources already are strained by the neces- sity of providing lodgings for war prisoners and interned aliens.
 Chief Difficulty Industrial.
 A chief difficulty is industrial. The maintenance of 160,000 men, women and children in idleness for months. ol even years, is a prospect fraught with disastrous possibilities, but ap- 1 Earently there is no alternative. The 1 English labor unions maintain with ] the greatest firmness that the Eng 1 fish worker must have first claim in , the English labor market and that no 1 possible good can come from finding room for a Belgian by throwing an 1 Englishman out of employment. Even with the supervision of the Ia abor eN- 1 changes to insure that the Belgian l competes on wage basis with the
New Britain herald., 1915-01-04

English laborer, it is evident that there is not work available for one in ten of the men and women who must be provided for.
 No Compilation of Data.
 A difficulty right at the start of the problem is that there has been no compilation of data regarding the refugees in England. Even as to their number, there are only hay "estimates." The government has now started the work of registration which, however, will take a long time to carry through, even partly. It is suggested that certain charitable agencies might be asked to assist in gathering this very necessary infor nation as to the history, training and occupation of each refugee.
 AS to employment the only prac- tical suggestion made thus far is that the government should equip a num- Der of factories for work in metal. wood and stone, where the Belgians might be employed in making prep arations for the rebuilding of their homes. Here they might do a con- sidera ble part of the preliminary work for the restoration of Belgium, and the presence of the belligerents they could be repatriated along with the shiploads of brick, metal work and wood work which they had completed il2 the meantime.

Sake. Prose- cutor Klett did not object to the con- tinuance of the case, but notified the accused that an additional charge, that of smoking on the trolley car, would be preferred against him in the morning.
 Other Cases This Morning.
 fine of $5 and costs for drunken ness and a similar fine for assault was levied against John Kolosky, charged with assaulting Nicholas Stalla on Friday night He pleaded not guilty, but Officer Strolls and Hellberg's testimony went against him. -.r-..
 The only other case to come up was that of Charlie Chase. Away back in June, Chase was fined s35 and costs and placed on probation until he could pay up. Out of sight was out of mind with Charlie and he led the Probation Officer a merry chase, it being brought out today that he has failed to pay a single cent on his fine. Probation was revoked and now Chase will have to chase around and collect s46 to cover fine and costs, or go to jail and work 1t out.

unions, and. second, to remove all re-
strictions which now prevent the free
dom of action of both parties to in
dustrial disputes. retaining only the
ordinary civil and criminal restraints
for the preservation of life, property
and the public peace. The first method
has been tried repeatedly and has fail
ed absolutely. not only because Of the
intervention of the courts. but because
the very nature of the acts complained
of on the part of employers tblack-
listing and arbitrary dischargel makes
it impossible to prevent them effective

istration. The only method, therefore.
seems to be the removal of all restric-
tions upon both parties. thus leSaliz-

This has been most successfully accom-

ENGINEERS, AERONAUTS
AND AVIATORS TO MEET
Combined Consideration to Be Given
to Solving Problems Vital
to Aeronautics.

NEW YORK, August 26.-The Aero
Club of America and the American So
ciety of Aeronautical Engineers are
planning to hold here next May a COM
bined aeroplane exhibition. aviation
meet and convention of aeronautic en-
gineers. The purpose is to bring to-
gether the engineers, aviators and
aeronautic experts to enable them to
become familiar with the various mo-
tors in action, as well as on exhibition,
and to see all types of aeroplanes, air
boats and flying craft.
There are twelve or more aeroplane
builders making standard machines,
and move than thirty concerns manu-
featuring and developing motors.
Scares of other concerns manufacture
magnetos. radiators, stabliZers, fabrics
for aeroplanes and balloons. scientific
instruments and other articles that go
to make up a flying machine.
The Aero Club of America in announc-
ing the plan issued a statement saying
there are many problems vital to
aeronautics to selve that require the
combined consideration of the en-
gineers, who have not convened for
four or five years. Among these ques-
tions are: The increase of safety, types
of controls with a view to adopting
a standard in all aeroplanes and the
standardization of the propeller so that
it may be interchangeable.

Discussing the legal status of trade
unions and the law relating TO indus

The general effect OF the decisions
of American courts has been to restrict
the activities OF labor organizations
and deprive them of their most eff
feetive weapons, namely. the boycott
and the power of picketing, while. on
the other hand. the weapons of employ
ers. namely. the power of arbitrary
discharge. of blacklistipg and of bring
ing in ikebreakerS. have been main
tanned. and Legislative attempts to re-
strict the employers powers have gen.
orally been declared Uncon titutional
by the courts. Furthermore, an addi-
tional weapon has been placed in the
hands of the employers by many courts
in the form of sweeping injunctions
which render punishable acts which
would otherwise be legal. and also re-

the streets. In Africa during the Boer
war Americans could travel only on pass
ports issued by our consuls and vised by
the British military authorities. The legal
fee for a passport was 81 One American
consul charged Americans $50. Once i
was obliged to go from a nearby island
to Porto Rico in a twenty-foot sloop,
which l hired for the twenty miles of an

Consuls as Pawnbrokers.
Trading consuls was the name given
by foreigners to those members of our
consular body who added to their earnings
by dealing in jewelry and antiques I re-
call one of this type who always had in
his pocket a bottle of acid for testing gold
and microscope for examining precious
stones. Natives financially embarras assed
always interviewed him before visiting the
local pawnbroSerS. 1t is said that he
made three times his annual salary each
year in this line of work. Another consul
loaned money at 20 per cent a month
and thus acquired a competency
In one town in Latin America New
Yorker died of yellow fever and the con-
sui, as was proper. took charge of his eff
fects. which We're later shipped home to
relatives valuable watch and a high
grade camera were not sent back. the
consul having reported them as having
been stolen year later a brother of
the dead man came on to see about taking
the body back to the states and was sur
prised when calling upon the consul to
observe his brothers camera on the con-
suls desk. Following this clue. he took
his brothers watch from the consul's
pocket
Another consular chara cter on the
caribbean coast kept standing in his
dining room a coffin containing a plate,
with his name and the date of his birth
inscribed thereon. After the word
Died there was a blank When a
man was sent to relieve him the con-
sui invariably invited the new arrival
to lunch.
Kept Coffin Ready.
On seeing the ghastly reminder
propped up near the dining table. the
guest would ask the consul to explain
why a casket was considered part of
the furniture of the room, and always
the consul made substantially this ex-
planation: We'll, you see, yellow fever
is SO prevalent and SO very fatal here
that all of us foreigners keep such a
necessity in the house. leaving blank
only the date of death, for we know
that sooner Or later we will succumb
to this disease" OF course the new
consul found reasons why he could not
accept the post and always returned by
the ship on which he had arrived. The
hero of this story in this manner re-
tanned his position for more than TWEEN
ty years
I have recited these incidents for the
purpose of showing the state of desen
eracy and decentralization to which the
consular service fell through leaving
it in political control. All of the men
above referred to are either dead
long since out of the corps, while for
tunately today men showing them
selves unadapted to the work are be-
ing weeded out as fast as conditions
will permit. With all that has been
done to improve the service, however,
it is still inefficient.
