By DANTE BARTON.

NEW YORK, Jan. s.-A great move
ment of the organized working men of
Great Britain to place at least large
part of the cost of the European war on
land values was described to the COM
mittee on industrial relations by Richard
McGhee, Irish Nationalist member of
parliament who had been a delegate
from the Trades and Labor Congress of
Great Britain to the convention of the
American Federation of Labor.
"On November IL last, conference of
GOO or more delegates from among all
the trades union organizations of Scot
land and parts of England was held in
the Trades hall of Glasgow to consider
the cost of the war and how to meet il, !"
said Mr.. McGhee. BY unanimous vote
the delegates declared for a tax on land
values and ordered petitions to parlia-
ment to that effect.
This was much more" declared Mr.
McGhee, than merely carrying on the
tentative proposition of Lloyd George of
two years and more ago. This was the
first great expression of the demand
among all the working classes of Great
Britain for the taxation of land values
(Which are socially created) as being
iiSHt III itseii lor all PeIious ana as De-
ing right and necessary in supporting
the cost of the war"
Mr.. McGhee is an aggressive upholder
in Great Britain of the Henry George
propaganda for the single tax on land
values.
''The convention in Glasgow" he saia,
lis being followed by others, with the
workers constituting the great majority
of the delegates. The whole labor move
ment is feeling and saying how criminal
ly absurd it is for labor and genuine
enterprise to bear the increased burdens
of taxation, with the greatest of all priv
ileges 1.-THE taking of profits in the form

of land values which society itself Gre
ates) is left to increase those burdens
still further"
Mr.. McGhee asserted there was no
doubt that the agitation and demand of
the workers would soon force radical
changes in the taxation system of Great
Britain, and that land value taxes, lead
ing to the exemption of improvements
and of the results of labor from taxa
tion, would soon be an important factor
in all exechequer budgets.
Of the American labor movement, the
British delegate said that there was a
truer democracy manifest in it than in
the British Trades Union movement. 81
never saw in any country as fine a
spirit of personal liberty as supports the
American workers demands for liberty
in laws and in industry" said Mr.. Nc
Ghee. TN England the labor movement
is affected by sort OF Toryism, sort
OF dependence on government action and
control and on the established order,
which is splendidly lacking here.
The general run of speeches at the
American Federation convention and the
discussion of the seamen's convention
We're of wonderfully high order. I
noted especially the talks made by Pres
ident Gompers and the railroad brother
hood representatives.
Your seamen's act, altho it is statute
law, sets free the forces of economic
power and action by the seamen them
selves" Mr.. McGhee declared. He is an
honorary member of the National Sail
or's and Firemen's Union of Great Bri-
tain and Ireland; he organized what
grew into the great Dockers Union of his
country. and he called to meet in London
the first international congress of Amer
lean and British labor union delegates.
That was in 1890, and one of the seven
delegates to go from America was An
drew Furuseth, now world famous as the
chief actor in getting the American sea-
mems act passed.

DRAFT OF COMPENSATION LAW.

Copies of the tentative draft of the
Workmen's compensation bill, which it is
proposed to have introduced in the com
ing missouri state legislature, is being
distributed by the State Federation OF
Labor. This is the third attempt to Sc
cure compensation law and there have
been three commissions appointed by the
governor and the state legislature to
investigate the question. The present
movement is the result of joint action by
trade unionists and employers who met
IN st. Louis last May and organized the
Missouri Workmen's Compensation Con-
ference for the purpose of agreeing on
bill instead of having their fight before
the legislature, as was the rule on for
mer occasions.

JURY TRIAL RIGHT IS PROTECTED

Judge Thomas H. Doyle, of the Grim
inal court of appeals in Oklahoma, has
ended the practice of municipal courts
in that state "railroading" violators of
the penal code to the county road camp
without giving them the right of a trial
by jury. The decision censured the prac-
tees of these petty courts, which are
declared to be contrary to reason, right
and Justice"

TEUTON DESCRIBES HE'LL
IN FLANDERS.

A German description OF a British
bombardment. smoke screen attacks
with gas. flame-throwers and tanks,
followed by a charge Of Canadians
and Scots, published by the Berlin
Post, Is entitled "In the Flanders He'll"
For weeks. day and night says
the writer, the English kept our po-
sition under fire. Ever hercer burned
the glowing stream that poured crack
ling down upon us. Every day this
fire grew hotter. Our artillery replied
powerfully. The army -communique
spoke OF a concentration OF enemy ar
tillery fire on individual sectors.
Even we can not describe what that
means. The history of the world has
never seen anything more awful.
"Ali calibers were brought into ac-
ton, and a crater of unprecedented ex-
tent opened beside the others. was ex-
cavated afresh. swallowed up the old
ones, spread out beyond the lime trees
and threw up the hinterland. Nothing
remained intact of all that nights of
hard labor under the enemy's fire had
created.
"The destroying fire did its work
with depressing thoroughness, seeming

the turn OF the smoke shells. Thick
smoke lay before our eyes, so that we
could see nothing. and yet ever further
forward must we push our death-defy-
ing posts. A real fog is mere patch
work compared with this artificial fog
which the British send out in order to
veil their dispositions.
when this appeared inadequate the
enemy employed gas. and the evil mist
came rolling toward Our lines apd
passed over them only u gas masks
prevented every living thing from be-
ing destroyed. The gas had a singu-
lar effect on our weapons; all iron
was covered with thick rust.
THE English now judged that they
had done enough preparatory work,
for suddenly drumfire started with the
most terrifying effect. Shells of the
heaviest caliber Numbered across. with
mines, machine gun volleys, and
hand-grenades all uniting in a blood
curdling. hellish pandemonium, such
as even a Dante would never be able
to describe.
German nerves held out with the
utmost resolution, constantly await
ing the moment when the hurricane OF
fire would break loose. And the storm
came. In the neighborhood sector
flame-throwers we're turned on,

il but to get back into the rearwarC

out q drop OF rain and more thaa 80
per cent come through. In u own
regions they do not have to stand 80
severe a test as this.
When the land is plowed deeply In
the fall there will usually be srBv eeBt
moisture by April or May to carry
the trees under the driest average
conditions.
The holes should also be dug in the
fall, for they may al up several times
with snow and slush which will sink
down into the subsoil. While the
trees are young they use very little
moisture (since Transportation depends
on the leaves which at this time are
not numerous) and the precipitation
actually supplies more than they can
consume. the consequence being that
the surplus IL conserved in the sub
soil by cultivation and provides an
absolute insurance against drouth.

Quoted for the benefit of the visitors.
I'VE believe that the advice that
will be given by government repre-
sentatives to these farmers and stock
men should have wonderful results"
states Frank G. Bowman, president of
the Idaho Falls Club of Commerce
and head of the executive committee
directing the affairs of the confer
ence. 1.-THE societies have been invit-
ed to congregate there during one week
so that the membership of these or
CARNATIONS could receive the benefit
OF this interchange of ideas. Every
man has some particular message to
convey that will be helpful to others,
and the greatest good should be de-
rived by all who will have the good
fortune to attend the conference"
The general plan of the conference
calls for the various societies to hold
daily sectional meetings in the after
moons, with the morning and evenings
given over to addresses by the nation
al speakers on road building, power
on the farm, federal farm loans, spec
ial uses of potatoes, labor situation,
transportation, rural institutions, bus
mess efficiency, dry farm tillage
methods, better farms, forestry, gen.
eral irrigation, etc.
