Capital and Labor Recognize
No National Boundry Lines
Congress of Labor Recently Held in England Starts Moue
ment for Coordinate Labor Legislation BetuDeen No
tions, and Rejects Proposal of A. F. of L.

Two national conventions of more
than ordinary Importance have just been
held in England. The annual meeting
of the General Federation of Trade Un-
ions met in Leeds, and the annual
Trades Union Congress was held in Bir-
mingham.
In addition to these two meetings, an
international syndical conference of the
allied countries was held at Leeds under
the presidency OF James OGrady, NJ. p.
The delegates included Col. j. Ward,
NJ. p, Ben Tillett, Alexander Wilkie,
NJ p, and many other well known la.
Dor representatives. There were ten
delegates from France, five from Italy,
and two from Belgium. Delegates from
Portugal and Russia were expected, but
had not arrived when the conference ad-
journed. The proceedings were conduct
ed in private, but n resume of the dis
cussions and decisions was supplied to
the press by the secretary, w. A. Ap-
pleton.
Attempt at Naturalization.
1t was stated that since the outbreak
of war there had been a definite at
tempt to neutralize both the personnel
and the location of the international
Trade Union movement. 1t was gener-
ally felt that the office should no long.
er remain in Berlin, nor should the man
agement of the International organiza-
ton be left in the hands of the German
general commission. Considerable dis
cussion took place as to the transfer
ence of headquarters, resulting in prac-
tically unanimous agreement that Gen.
eva was the most suitable place, but
the matter was left open for internn-
tional consideration.
Another matter discussed was an his
torical resume by the French of attempts
which have been made to coordinate Ia
Dor legislation as between the nations.
In this connection, British delegates In
stanced the Saturday half-holiday, the
eight hour day, the protection in regard
to the work of women and children
which existed in some extent in Great
Britain, as being in advance of working
conditions on the continent of Europe.
Nearly all the speakers were unanimous
in the wish that efforts should be made
to improve the conditions of labor every
where, and it was arranged that M.
Jouhauz of Paris, secretary of the
French Federation of Trades Unions,
should act as correspondent with the
other countries on this matter

TRADE UNIONISTS WARNED
AGAINST BEING .BUNC0ED
I. B. B. ISSUES CIRCULAR LETTER
TO ORGANIZED LABOR.
Handy Volume" of Encyclopedia Brit
tanica Is Product of Firms Unfair
to Printing Trade Unions.

The international Brotherhood of
Bookbinders is sending out the follow
ing circular letter, which is self-explan-
atory:
indianapolis, Ind, Sept. IA, 1916.
To Organized Labor-Greeting:
Very attractive advertisements are ap-
pearing in the principal magazines Of
the country, offering liberal inducements
and easy terms in order to push the
sales of the Handy Volume" issue Of
the Encyclopedia Britannica The pur-
pose of this letter is to call attention
to the non-union conditions under which
the work is produced.
The printing and bind ng of the
Handy Volume" issue of the Encyclo-
pedia Brittanica is done by the R R.
Donelley & Sons Co. of Chicago, and the
]. F. Tapley Book Manufacturing Co. of
New York. Both of these concerns have
been opposed to the printing trades un-
ions since the Inauguration of the eight
hour work day in the printing industry,
and have been and are now operating
non-union establishments in all branches
of the printing trade.
We will appreciate it If you will give
publicity to the contents of this let
ter in the columns of your international
or local labor paper, and also instruct
delegates to central bodies to report the
matter to their respective local unions.
Thanking you cordially in advance for
your compliance with these requests,
Fraternally yours,
A. p. SOVEY, President,
WALTER N. REDDICK,
Secretary Treasurer.

WOMEN WORKERS CALL MEETING.
Will Hold an Eight-Hour Day Confer
ence in Chicago Next Month.

Under date of September 2, the Wom-
ems Trade Union League of Chicago, in
cooperation with the leagues of st.
Louis, Mo-, Kansas City, Mo-, and
Springfield, ILL.,, signed a call for an
eight-hour interstate conference to be
held in Chicago October 6, and 8, 1916.
Each central body in Michigan, Mime
sofa, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Tennes-
see, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa,
Colorado and Illinois, are asked to send
two trade union women delegates.
This conference is called to discuss
and plan ways and means of securing
the eight hour day for working women,
both by organization and legislation.
The very atmosphere seems permeated
with the psychological time for every
trade unionist to unite in an effort to
secure for the women workers of the ma
tion, this much needed condition. This
also seems an opportune time to carry
on a campaign for organization among
the unorganized women workers.
Because this conference is 30 import
ant to all women workers of these states
it is hoped that the delegates to all these
central bodies will support this plea for
delegates and send two of their best
women workers.

It appears, however, as if the major
ity of the British unions have now be-
come reconciled to the military service
act, but the plumbers and the railway
men asked the Birmingham congress to
express dissatisfaction with the action
of the joint board in not calling a con-
ference before the passing of the act,
and the dockers regretted the exemption
of the clergy from service. No less than
five resolutions demanded the conscrip-
tion of wealth, and with a view to such
conscription the dockers requested the
parliamentary committee to press for
a census of wealth.
The proposal brought forward by the
American Federation of Labor that rep
resentatives of organized labor of all
countries should meet simultaneously
with the diplomatists who will discuss
the terms of peace, in order to secure
terms which would safeguard labor,
seems to have been rel cted by all con-
ferences of organized British workers.
This is not surprising if the grossly
improper and misleading remarks, cred
tied in the newspapers to William d.
Mahon. one of the American fraternal
delegates, created the impression that
American workers generally sympa-
thized' with one side in the European

Recognize No Boundary Lines.
However that may be, it is just as
certain as the night follows the day,
that sooner or later the organized Brit
ish workers will again have to do busi-
ness with the organized German work
ers. Capital recognizes no boundary
lines, but it has all too long been per-
mitted to keep the workers divided
against themselves by playing upon ma
tional and racial hatreds. Surely, in the
year lo1G this little earth of ours has
become entirely too small for that sort
of play British workingmen, too, must
realize this, even tho their lords and
barons tell different story.
There would be small hope for the
emancipation of the working class-iu
fact, there would scarcely be any hope
at all-if it were really possible to per-
manently divide the toilers thru bloody
wars. instigated by those who occupy the

EXPERT PASTOR HUNTING A JOB.

The Rev Charles F. Aked, who aban-
doned his pulpit in the First Congrega-
tional church, San Francisco, in order to
become a member of Henry Ford's peace
party, is looking for job. He found
it impossible to cooperate with the rest
of the Ford peacemakers and returned to
America. Mr.. Ford severed diplomatic
relations with him, and he sought out
his former flock in San Francisco, Of
fering to serve it again at q reduced
salary. But the church was unwilling
to take him back, even at a marked
down figure, and an eloquent but rather
erratic clergyman now is on the market.

Would Preach What
Congregation Likes
Despite His Unbehef

Sheboygan, Wis, Nov. 2l-The
question whether a congregation
wants minister to preach what he
does not believe, is to be taken up
this week by the First Baptist church
Of Sheboygan, following the resigna-
ton and later reconsideration of Rev.
Clarence Booth, pastor Of the church
Rev. Mr.. Booth resigned Saturday.
Sunday he returned to the church,
withdrew his resignation and asked
permission to preach.
In an interview today, Me- Booth
stated he had withdrawn the remarks
he had made in his sermons ON Nov
ember S and Y, when he is alleged
to have held, contrary to Baptist
teachings, that Jesrs was not an
equality with God, the Father, which
caused the trouble, had made certain
concessions and was going to remain
in Sheboygan indefinitely. Members
of the congregation, however de-
ciared today that the minister had de-
clared his belief m the new doc
trine, but was willing to preach the
old, and the matter would be taken
I'D officially at the meeting of the
congregation on Thursday as to
whether the congregation wants a
minister to preach that which he does

Louisville, KY, Nov 2l-Commis-

today that it was his purpose to put
in the record of the commission a
table of the net and gross earnings

States during the last fifteen years.
His announcement followed state
ment by O. D. Clark, general super
intendent of the Grand Trunk lines
within the United States, advocating
an increase in freight rates, the pro-
ceeds to be used by the railroads in
the purchase of equipment and max
ing other betterments. At this point
Commissioner McChord said:
1T has been suggested here by sew
<era1 other witnesses that the remedy
for this trouble Is to increase freight
rates. l am going to have prepared

riers a statement showing the net

ditions to surplus funds and put it

NEBRASKA WINS
IRRIGATION FIGHT
Federal Court at Denver Rules
State Lines Do Not Affect
Priority Rights.
COLORADO TO APPEAL CASE

Denver, Colo, Nov 2l-(Special
Telegram.)-A decision affecting
Colorado and Nebraska water rights,
far reaching in its effect, was handed
down today by the United States cir
cult court of appeals,
The decision held that state lines
do not affect the question Of priority
Of water rights and the contention
Of the state of Colorado that junior
appropriations in this state have
priority over senior appropriations in
adjoining states fails.
The court of appeals sustained
Judge Lewis and upheld every con-
tention made by Edwin H. Park, at
torney for the. Pioneer Irrigation
company, as to state rights in water
controversies. The decision says that
the filings first in time are first in
right regardless of state lines. The
Pioneer Irrigation company serves its
customers both in Colorado and Ne
braska, taking the water from the
Republican river, an interstate
stream.
Colorado insisted that the Ne
braska senior claimants for water
were not entitled to water until Colo
RADIO junior appropriations had been
cared for. The decision will have a
material effect on the suit now pend
ing between Colorado and Wyoming
involving interstate water rights.
The Pioneer Irrigation company
made the state engineer and the
Water commission of Colorado the
defendants. The state appeared
through Attorney General Farrar.
1t is likely that the case will be
carried to the supreme court of the
United States by the state.

MILLIONS OF WATER POWER

There is a possibility of discover
ing oil in Nebraska, but the most
promising source OF energy is found
in the waters of the rivers. | am for
conserving the wasted waters of this
state When one thinks that our riv-
ers are capable of generating about
100000 horsepower in energy and
that this power is being wasted, it is
no wonder that half hundred hydro
electric projects have been promoted"
Prof. G. f. Condra, president Of
the National Conservation congress,
and head of the geography and con-
servation department at the Univer-
sity of Nebraska, was addressing the
members of the Technical club last
evening at the Paxton on THE De-
velopment of Water Power Resources
in Nebraska" when he summed up the
states potent possibilities in the fore
going language.

Nebraska is commerce raw" he
added. Although we raise corn,
wheat, alfalfa and some cattle, we do
not manufacture the raw material into
finished products"
With 5000 feet of film he carried
the audience around the state. show
ing its rivers and power projects, here
and there.
The three rivers with greatest re-
sources are the Blue, Niobrra and
the Loups, said Prof. Condra. AS he
navigated the Blue and passed by Mil
ford, Beatrice and Fairbury he showed
that this stream had been developed
more than the others. The respective
towns are using the river for general
ing electricity and running mills. The
cheapest electricity is being gener-
ated at Juanita Falls.
THE Niobrara is the best water
power stream not regarding its near
ness to population" continued the
speaker.

at has a constant flow and has a
capacity of from 800 to 1000 second
feet. This river has not been utilized
yet, but it could furnish power to
operate interurbans and electrify its
surrounding country. Owing to the
fact that it flows through sparsely
settled country it is doubtful whether
much money would be invested in its
development at the present time.
The largest hydro-electric plant in
the state has been constructed at Boe-
lns, where the water of the Middle
Loup is conducted through a canal to
the South Loup thereby developing
$500 horsepower"
There is abundant work for the
engineer" the speaker told club men,
