REPORT COAL
IN ARGENTINA

BUENOS AIRES, Oct. s.-By
Mail.-The discovery is reported OF
extensive coal deposits in the Ar
gentine province Of San Juan. The
statement is made that 1t Is nearly
as good as the best quality OF Welsh
coal. Experts have not yet had q
chance. however. TO make a test a.

tent OF the fields. Coal would prove
OF immense importance to Argen-

MINERS EXONERATED.

Kansas City, Mo.-A jury has award
ed Alexander Howat $1,000 in his suit
for $4,000 damages against Joseph H.
Hazen, but if Howat and Fred W. Holt
did not have the backing of the United
Mine Workers Union their trade union
ism and integrity would probably always
be questioned.
Howat is President and Holt is former
Secretary of Mine Workers District No.
21. In recent law suit for an account
ing brought by Franklin Bache against
the Southwestern Coal Operators Asso-
ciation Hazen testified that during the
years 1910 and 1912 he paid the two
unionists $4,000.
Hazen's statement has been the cause
of much discord in District No. 21, and
suit for $4,000 damages was started
against him. The United Mine Workers
Union investigated the charge and Inter
national President White headed a COM
mittee that waited on the operators in.
volved and asked that the workers be-
given every assistance to probe the
charges. This request was granted, but
not until the unionsts threatened to call
a strike that would tie up their mines
Frank P. Walsh was chief counsel for
the miners, serving without compensa-
ton.
Before the trial Hazen made an affi-
davit in which he reahfirmed previous
statements made on oath At the trial,
however, he failed to appear, despite
every effort by Attorney Walsh and the
miners officials to secure his attendance
and have him submit to cross exami-
nation.

GERMAN army, contrary to the stipula-
tons OF The Hague convention.
In August, however, according to the
present communication, the German
authorities issued two DEGREES which
provided heavy penalties for those
who, having refused work, become a
charge on either private or public re-
llef. Both these DEGREES contained a
clause eXempting from their operation
those cases where refusal to work was
based on considerations admitted bv in
ternational law.
Referring to this, Sir Edward Grey
stated:
Il am well aware that the German
authorities will claim this expression is
a sufficient fulfillment of their promise
quoted above" But he expresses the
opinion that such promises had little
effect on German military tribunals.
He alleges that recent Investigations
have disclosed good evidence to SUP
port the belief that relief committees
communal soup kitchens. etc. in manv
cases have been forbidden to relieve
these classes of workmen whose labor is
desired by the German authorities.
lhe statement continues to saw since
Sir Edward Grey wrote the letter quo
ted above, reports have been received
OF further attempts by the Germans to
requistion labor for military needs.
Stories confirming the avowed policy of
Won Kissing, as embodied in the de-
cree of May Is, which supersedes prev
1ous DEGREES, are recounted
The decree of May Is provides heav-
ier penalties of Imprisonment for re-
calcitrant workers, while all persons.
communes, associations and other
groups giving relief to those refusing
work are liable to a fine of not more
than the whole administration of the
decree, except minor provision re-
lating to false declarations of indulg-
ence, is placed in the hands of the
German military tribunal.

NEW YORK STRIKERS PRAISED

New York.-Dr. Felix Adler, who
was chairman of committee on con-
citation which went out of business
when garment manufacturers refused to
abide by its decision and locked out its
workers, Travelled for 20 hours from his
summer home in Maine to address a
meeting of the strikers. When he arose
to speak he was cheered for 10 minutes
by these workers, who are members of
the international Ladies' Garment Work
ers' Union.
I'VE take off our hats to the quiet
selt-sacrifice you have shown" he said
1T is an easy thing for the rich to give
of their supertluity. But when $4,000
workers are giving one-iifth of their
earnings, when we hear of 1,5OO girls,
whose wages average $5 week, scrap
ing together $1,000 to help you-these
are gifts that are worth ten times their
weight in gold | say that to ride 20
hours is but a small sacrifice to meet
such people face to face.
"The public owes YOU a duty. I saw
to the public that unless they show their
moral suasion is backed by material
support, public opinion has shown that
it is impotent"
Allan Robinson. chairman of the
Citizens Committee, presided. He said :
The workers in the cloak and suit
industry are not making demands, are
not asserting any rights; they are not
asking increased wages or shorter
hours they have lost their employment
because they stand for the principle of
arbitration"

IRON MOLDERS ENJOINED.

Pittsburg, Patron molders in this
district are striking for an eight-hour
day and employees of the Union Steel
Casting Company have been enjoined
by Judge Shafer of the court of COM
mon pleas These workers are ordered
not to intimidate, threaten or assault the
company's strikebreakers. If any other
citizen is charged with violating one of
these police statutes, he is accorded a
trial by jury Under injunction rule,
however, it is only necessary for the
employer to charge violation of the
courts order and the striker is hailed
into court and ordered to show why he
should not be punished 1t is rule of
law that the accused is innocent until
proven guilty. This principle is re-
versed by Injunction judges who act on
the theory that strikers are guilty and
must prove to the court's-not a jury's
satisfaction that they are innocent, In
these cases the court is law maker, law
interpreter and law enforcer combined,

TELL WORKERS TO ORGANIZE.

San Francisco. - The Labor Council
has refused to comply with the request
of the Steam Laundry Workers Union,
one of its affiliates, that the pending or
dinance, which would increase the laun-
dry license fee from $40 to $1,000 a
year, be indorsed.
The laundry workers reported that
proprietors of union laundries favored
the high license and that this legislation
would Stabilize" the industry. The
Council was not impressed with this
theory, delegates pointing out that the
ordinance would permit laundries that
could pay the license to build up a mo-
nopoly, which might later be turned
against the unionists. The request was
referred to the Councils Organizing
Committee with instructions to assist the
Laundry Workers Union in thoroughly

Labor Decree of Won Bissinq
Brings Protest from Britain
Prisoners Compelled to Work Long Hours and Unde,
Bad Conditions, Is the Basis of Complaint

London.-ln a communication adj
dressed, to the Spanish and American
Ambassadors and the Dutch Minister
here, as patrons OF the Commission for
Relief in Belgium, the Foreign Office
calls attention to a decree said to have
been issued May Is by Governor Gen
eral Won Bissing, German Governor of
belgium, creating more stringent laws
against Belgian workmen who refuse
employment.
The Foreign Office protested last
September, through the patrons of the
commission, against DEGREES issued bv
Won Bissing August IA and 16 regarding
labor in Belgium. Referring to that
protest, the present communication
states that at that time the MARQUIS
OF Crewe wrote to the patrons that if
the German authorities used the ma
chinery of the commission and that of
the Comite National for the purpose Of
coercing the civilian population of
Belgium, against its will and conscience,
directly or indirectly, into the service
OF the occupying army, they must them
selves provide the relief which those
bodies dispense and all arrangements
between the British Government and
the commission would have to cease.
In subsequent letter Sir Edgar
Grey stipulated that there must be no
interference of any kind whatever by
the German authorities either with the
sale or free distribution OF foodstuffs
to those whom the commission and the
committee considered deserving OF
such relief.
Replying to this letter, Baron yon
der Lancken, Civil Governor of Bfus-
sells, stated in a letter to Brand Whit
lock, the American Minister to Belg-
lum, and the Marquis de Vilalobar,
Spanish Minister to Belgium, that Gov
ernor General Won Bissing would nev-
er use the Comite as means of fore
ing the Belgian population to serve the

READY FOR ANOTHER WRECK

Washington.-Passe boat owners
on the great lakes want the life-saving
features of the sean1en's law weakened
and are in hearty accord with bill in
troduced by Congressman Loud of Mich
lgan which would make it optional for
the ship owner to employ able seamen
and would permit vessels that do not
go more than 10 miles from shore to
operate with lifeboats for 10 per cent
OF all persons on board and rafts for
10 per cent, leaving rs per cent in times
OF disaster to such safety as could be
provided through the use of life pre-
servers and floating spars.
At hearings last week before the
house committee on merchant marine
and fisheries this amendment was COM
batted by President Furuseth of the In
ternatlonal Seamen's union, and Secre-
tary Flynn of the Marine Fircmen, Oil
ers, and Water Tenders, both represent
ing the Pacific coast; Secretary Olander
of the Lake Seamen's union and Secre-
tary Conway of the Marine Firemen,
Oilers and Water Tenders of the Great
Lakes; q. II. Brown, agent of the Sea-
mems union, New York, representing
the Atlantic coast; National President
Gibson, of the Marine Engineers Bene-
VIOLENT association, and Mrs. Florence
Kelley. of the Consumers league.
AS lifeboats and RATS occupy space
that the vessel owners could use for pas
sengers they are in favor of a greater
use of life preservers and assured the
house committee that floating around
with a life preserver a few miles from
shore caused slight discomfort. In an
swer to this claim the unionists called
attention to the fate of the Empress of
Ireland in the St. Lawrence river three
years ago. In this case the boat sank
less than three miles from shore. As
sistance reached the vessel within two
hours, but more than 1000 persons lost
their lives and about one-half of them
had life preservers on.
The Loud bill would also exempt near
ly every vessel on the lakes, and very
large number of vessels in the coast
wise trade, from the operation of that
part OF the seamen's law which regulates
the hours of labor at sea and in port,
prohibits the alternate working of men
in the fire room and on deck and pro-
hibits unnecessary labor on Sundays and
legal holidays.
