Lever ReintroduceS His
Cotton Futures Measure

Congressman Lever Of South Caro-
lima has reintroduced the cotton fu-
lures bill passed by the,last Congress
and declared unconstitutional by
Judge Hough. Of New York.
Mr. Lever says the bill was held void
by the Federal Judge solely because
of the theory that IT originated in
the Senate instead of the House. The
South Carolina member says he does
not believe the Supreme Court would
uphold a technical ruling of this char
acter. but he has decided IL will take
less time to repass the bill.
The miXup over the old bill hinged
on the fact that both houses passed
practically similar measures and the
Senate bill was substituted for the
House measure when it became neces-
sary for the two houses to get to-
gether quickly.

ATTACKED BY.
BRITISH LABOR.
Union Leaders Strike Heavy
Blow Against Draft "in
Name of Three Million"

LONDON. Jan. 6-Tabor leaders
struck a. heavy blow against conscrip-'
ton today. A resolution. protesting,
In the name of 100000 trades union
ists.' against compulsory enlistment,
was introduced by the executive COM
mittec when the National Labor Con-
gress met In Central Hall, Westminster.
The resolution was greeted with cries
of approval from all parts of the hall.
IT contained expressions of regret tha t
the solidarity of the nation has BEEN
Sravely imperled and Industrial and,
political liberty menaced by the attitude
of the conscriptionists.'
J. Hedge, labor member of parlia-
ment, in moving the adoption of the
resolution. vehemently denied that the
voluntary system of recruiting has been
failure. He declared nearly 6,Ooo.00
Britishers have voluntarily answered
their country's call.
Pleases Draft Men.
The resolution, however, declared the
sentiment of the congress was tnat la
bor members of parliament be permit
ted to vote according to their own
convictions. This feature was decided
ly pleasing to the conscriptionists.'
Nine hundred delegates. representing
400 labor organiza tons. including the
most powerful unions in Great Britain,
were in their seats when the meeting
was called to order. to determine Ia
boris attitude toward the conscrption
policy of the government.
The majority of the delegates We're
outspoken in opposition to any form of
CONSUMPTION. One group had drafted
resolution for presenta ton. calling upon
Arthur Henderson, labor member Of the
Asqufth ministry, to resign at once.
Harry Gosling, trades union leader,
presided. Scattered about the hall were
number of labor members of parlia-
nlent.
Preceding. introduction uI the anti
conscription resolution, the executive
committee presented a lengthy report,
emphs sizing labor's 'deep-rooted, ira
ditional and uncompromising hostility"
toward conscription.
This hostility can not be outraged
with impunity," the committee chair
man read, and a storm Of applause
swept the hall. "Especially Is this true
since the wage-earners have volunteer
ed with such splendid chivalry"
The committee then offered statistics
TO show that labor has more than done
its part in filling the ranks of the Brit
ish armies. Recruiting figures from
large industrial centers We're presented,
and with them reports of various
unions. whose memberships have been
depleted through loss of unionists who
surrendered their lives in Northern
France.
The eyes Of the nation are centered
upon the labor congress today. 1t is
generally expected that the labor dele
gates VIII pass a resolution opposing
conscripton. but the government had
hores that strong trades union leaders
would oppose the resolution in speeches
thHt would win over many workers TO
conscription.

GERMAN WAR" MILLIONAIRES
Senator Cummins quoted as fol-
lows from a cablegram from Berlin:
Many people have suddenly be-
come immensely rich since the be-
ginning of the war. This applies
mostly to those who are supplying
material used in connection with the
war. THERE ARE so MANY GET
RICHQUICK FAMILIES THAT
SOME GERMANS ARE WISHING
THAT THE WAR MAY CONTINUE
FOR MANY YEARS TO COME"
The New York World recently
printed long article showing how
the war affected certain English
business interests.
Munitions Factories Roll in
Wealth" was a significant headline
and the World proceeded to give
long list of corporations, "basking in
the sunshine of government favor"
which had doubled and trebled their
dividends and added immense sums
to their reserves.
The American people may with
safety differ as much as they please
concerning the size of their army
and navy. Eventually, the saving
common sense of the nation will
solve that problem. But the Ameri-
can people cannot afford to permit
the "War Trust" octopus to wrap it's
tentacles about them.

Hard Coal Supply is Low as q Result
of Failure to Move the
Cars.
CAR FROM. SUPERIOR
ON ROAD IL DAYS
Railways Appear to Take Their Time
About the Deliveries
Made.

Twelve days ago a carload OF coal
was shipped from the Superior docks
to Bemidji. The car has not arrived
in Bemidji up to this time. The rail
way company does not know exactly
where it is, but the dealers are un-
der the impression that the car is
being held up on some side track.
This is not an unusual occurance
1t seems to be impossible for deal
ers in Bemidji to get coal because Of
the railways.
The coal is loaded at other points
and shipped, but it takes weeks be-
fore the car arrives in Bemidji.
Two other cars OF hard coal are on
the road. but no one knows when
they will arrive in Bemidji
AS a result OF the SLOW" moving
OF cars Bemidji is facing a hard coal
shortage. Unless the cars shipped
weeks ago arrive within a short time
the present supply OF hard coal will
be exhausted.
Deliveries OF coal in Bemidji are
being made directly from the car.
The bins are empty.
II was pointed out this morning
that ii Bemidii sheuld have cold
snap. the present supply would be
exhausted In short order. Under the
present situation only portions OF
orders are being delivered so that
there will be coal for all. One deal
er in Bemidji has orders. for 200 tons
OF hard coal which he has been un-
able to deliver
Railway companies say that the
cars are being moved and that the
mines have not sufficient coal They
blame the shortage on the shortage
OF coal. However, the mines claim
that there is sufficient coal but no
cars.
One Bemidji dealer pointed out to-
day that it should take but two days
for a car to come to Bemidji from
Superior Instead the average time
is over eight days for the delivery OF
a car OF coal
