U. s. DECIDES NOT TO RECOGNIZE OR TO BE
 BOUND BY BRITAIN'S
 ORDER IN COUNCIL
tCcntinued from Page One)

Thursday. He declares that the British communication surprised all familiar with the facts and astonished students of international law"
 At the last session of Congress- he adds there was a strong sentiment in favor of stopping the exportation of mu- ntions of war to the allies. Unless this order in council is modified when Con- gress meets the exportation of munitions of war will be stopped, and the action by Congress may go much further.
 The statement quotes the provisions as to shipments of cotton contained in the British announcement, although the state- ment that these were described to the British ambassador here by American cotton men as 'conceding all that Ameri- can interests could properly ask and the further statement that "the provisions of the arraneement were acceptable to the United States government are denied.
 T take issue with each of these state- ments" Senator Smith continues. ''No representative of American cotton inter- ests was authorized to make any such agreement No representative of Ameri- can cotton interests made any such agree ment It is strange that the British gov ernment had reached the conclusion that this arrangement was acceptable to the United States government"

handed to the state department October 26 by the British ambassador, saying that the ambassador had been advised by Sir Edward Grey that cotton was and would remain on the free list. On that assur- ance, he says. American growers con tracted for sales in Europe in January and February for delivery in subsequent months.
 For Great Britain to seize cotton after March 1 under these circumstances, he adds. became an act especially severe and will subject Great Britain to heavy damages Almost entirely as a result of the illegal action of Great Britain cot ton has increased in price over cents pound on the continent of Europe while 1t has fallen cent and half a pound in Great Britain and in the United States"
 Concluding his statement Senator Smith says:
 Again let me hope that the British government in accordance with the cor dial good will which has existed between the people of the two countries for mora than 100 years. will cease disregardine international law to the injury of our people,"

and helping the unfortunate lady who owns the property and who Is cer- tainly much less responsible than he for the wall being left as it was; pay the civil liability that has accrued from the great damages sustained.
 What a fortunate thing for organ ized labor that this awful catastrophe should have happened when it did, when never shadow of suspicion could have been directed toward organized labor. It shows the utter depravity Of such men as MT. Allen and his kind. for when they are caught they try to shift the blame on parties who are just as innocent as babes. They tried first to blame the lightning. When that could not be verified then they trie l organized labor, not directly but by implication x trying to poison the minds of the public against men who exercise their right to organize for the pur- pose of betterng their working condi- tions and raising their standard of skill and efficiency among their mem- bers.
 Who are the indicators now? Wfo are responsible for the innocent lives which were lost on account of some one's criminal negligence? The prop erty adjusted at total loss and $looo to tear down the old walls, and yet they were left standing for months, endangering the lives of many who took it for granted that the parties who had charge of the affair were men of abll- ity and honesty and would not take a chance of sacrificing human life and property to save the few dollars which the insurance company allowed for tearing down the old walls. If the walls were safe, why did they put them in in their estimate of total loss? The insurance companies were not willing to take any chances. They supposed they were dealing with hon est and reputable men, and they paid the loss according to their estimate IS that strictly an honest transaction! IS that the kind of an example Tor the employer to set for the workmeh When a mechanic tries to pull off any thing like that they call 1t skinning or robbing their employer. Now, these people were employed by the owner because they placed implicit confidence in their ability and honesty, They are the men who are leading the fight to prevent. as they claim, orsahizeu workmen from extorting their un- Just CD demands from the public NOW.
 what do you call this kind of dealing If the workmen do it, 1t is dishonesty or just ordinary stealingi now the em- blower does 1t. Isn't that the same thing?
 We hope the public will look care rully into this and then they can form l their conclusions as to who Is to blame | and as to whether 1t is fair to try l to shift the blame to organized lapor H. o. MCLURG, Secretary Birmingham Building Trades Council.

ming of violence in the strike. MT. Rockc-
 feller asserted:
 'I naturally regret that these are all
 motters of the past to reopen the ques-
 tion of where the blame may properly
 rest. but the information l have Is that
 the beginning of violence was on the part
 of the strikers when one of the camp
 marshals was killed"
 Mir Rockefeller quoted from a letter to
 him from former Superintendent Bowers
 of the Colorado company reporting the
 shooting of a marshal on September 20.
 Earlier In the day Rockefeller, after a
 slight brush with Chairman Walsh over the introduction of letter he caused to be written to President Welsborn of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company by Starr J. Murphy. his counsel, succeeded in get ting before the commission an account of | his part in having attorneys for the com pany withdrawn as assistants to the state
 authorities in prosecuting strikers. When he had been informed that the company's | attorneys had been commissioned to assist in such prosecutions they were withdrawn i from all such cases before the trial of John R. Lawson began The letter to Welborn said in part:
 AS soon as private interests, wheth- CT individual or corporate, participate by private counsel in the prosecutions. the proceedings begin to take on an appearance of private vengeance rather | than an impartial administration of justice"
 q suppose Mir. Welborn agreed with the views expressed in that letter ' Welsh asked
 Wanted to Be Sure "So far as the company he was con- nected with was concerned said Rock efeller. T wanted to be sure that the justice was being administered with out interference by the company to which I was related"
 The chairman questioned MT. Rocke- feller more at length regarding his views on the rights of men to resort to violence, Rockefeller replying: "I will be glad to state the only principle on which you think man is justified in opposing an officer of the law. If his life Is immediately il, danger and if he feels that the situ- ation Is such that when he is brought before court of justice to defend his action, the circumstances will lead to his acauittal. then I think he is jus titled in resorting to violence" When Mir Rockefeller left the stand Ivy l.. Lee, publicity agent for tho Rockefeller interests. who followed him, declined to answer questions as to whether he wrote public statements appearing under Mir Rockefeller E name and Chairman Walsh said the commission would take up later the

KING EMMANUAL ORDERS MOBILIZATION
 OF ITALY'S FORCES
fContsnued from Page one)

 Italy's military preparations had not been completed
 The possibility of the entrance into the war of Roumania, Bulgaria and Greece continued as subject of specu- lation in diplomatic quarters Among diplomatists of the Germanic cause 1t was suggested that operations in the Dar- danelles within the next two or three weeks would probably have an impor- tant bearing on the attitude of the Balkan states. They believed that should the allies fail to penetrate the Dardan- eles, the three states would remain neutral, but that victory by the allies might considerably change the course of events.
 On the other hand 1t is claimed in well informed quarters that Roumania has a definite agreement with Italy and will follow the Rome government in every step taken.
