New York, Feb. 6.-Labor and So

on the proposal of a national strike

anti-war move was advocated by
James H. Maurer, president of the
Pennsylvania State Federation Of
Labor.
Several of the leaders of both par
ties declared that such a plan would
not be entertained. Roswell D. Tomp-
kins, secretary of the United Board of
Business Agents of the Building
Trades, representing 100000 men,
said.
President Maurer may be speaking
for himself or for the state federation
of Pennsylvania. He is not speaking
for New York or New Jersey. 1 don't
think the labor unions of this city OF
state would vote for an anti-war
strike
Morris Hillquit. secretary of the In
ternational Socialist bureau, said that
the matter had been discussed at in
ternational conventions and the plan
decided impractical.

TRANSFER BELGIAN AID
Change Headquarters to Holland in
Case of United States War.

Washington, Feb. Carbohydrates
of the Belgian relief commission will
be transferred from the United States
to Holland in case of declaration of
war between this country and Ger
many, Chairman Hoover, of the COM
mission, stated to the United Press
today.
It would be futile, Hoover said, I'd
attempt to continue relief work from
the United States, in event of hostili
ties. All ships leaving the country, it
was pointed out, would be subject to
the same attack as vessels leaving
Britain now are.
Holland, as the only remaining
open door to Belgium and as the most
sympathetic nation, would, in all
probability, be accepted by all neu-
trails as the logical base for further
Belgian relief operations.
is Relief Ships Now Sailing.
News of the sinking of the Belgian
relief ship Lars Krus near the Belgian
coast yesterday brings the first word
from any of the fifteen relief ships
now in or approaching the war zone,
Hoover said.
''Of our seventy ships, but fifteen
are now on the high seas. All others
are held in port awaiting action by
Berlin on our request for immunity
guarantees. The Lars Krus is the
first of the fifteen to be heard from

county. would provide for state, city,
county and township wailing posts. A
bill which Kline introduced in the
house today provides that certain pub
lie officials shall listen to all individ-
ual grievances regarding public well
fare. Kline is positive his bill will re-
suit in much public good if enacted
into law.
Kline's bill is an act to create de-
partments of information and criti-
cism and defining certain duties there
in. The man from the short grass dis
trict would provide a public office
where every person with crouch
about the local, state or national gov
eminent might air his complaint and
receive an attentive hearing. If the
township road overSeer doesn't per-
form his work as some individual
feels the work should be done, he
may tell his troubles to the township
clerk. If the pool halls are not run
in accordance with the views of an
individual or the town curfew doesn t
blow on time, then the city clerk shall
listen to the complaint. If the coun-
ty doesn't conduct its business as some
citizen desires, he may demand re-
lief and redress by going before the
county commissioners. OF course the
commissioners may be busy that day.
But they snail nSten TO the complaint
of the citizen with a complaint.
Rules similar to those for city,
county and township affairs apply for
the state at large. If a citizen in
Stanton county feels that the state
penitentiary, state hospital or some
state department is not conducted as
it should be, he may get on train
and come to Topeka Here j. 7. Bot
kin, secretary of state, would patient
ly listen to it all. A small matter like
a charter meeting, a session of the
executive council or a thousand other
things would not deny to the citizen
from Stanton county his rights. The
secretary Of state should stop all work
at hand and listen to the woes of a
man who does not like the existing
system of government.
Il believe such a law would be a
good thing" said Kline in discussing
his bill. There ought to be some
place where a person can make a pos
tive complaint about conditions with
out preaching his complaints from the
house tODS.'
