SPEAKING OF RIGHTS
By SCOTT NEARING.

for commodities made by the warning
nations of Europe; the great richness
of the natural resources of the Unit
ed States, and the labor performed by
the American people.
Who is in charge of this vast finan-
cial power? A little group of men
who own and control the banking
facilities of the United States. They
decide the bank policies. They reap
the profits of the only business in
which a man can make money on his
debts. The banks use their deposits
(debts) to loan for their own benefit.
The banking business is one of the
largest and richest of all of the great
public utilities of the country. 1t is
a utility so vital that the modern eco
nomic machinery depends upon it to
the same extent that it depends upon
the transportation facilities. Yet the
banking business of the United States
is still private business.
The federal reserve bank act is a
first, hesitating step. 1t must be fol
lowed by other steps until the banking
system of the United States is pub
lie, from top to bottom. The banking
rights are vital, public rights; SO
long as they remain. in private hands
the community is denied one OF It's
most important economic rights.

BY JOHN T.. WHITE.

NEW YORK, April 25.-The set
tlement concluded with the anthra-
cite operators tonight, carrying with
it an increase in wages for the work
ers in the mines of from II to 35 per
cent, should be as gratifying to the
executive and populace of the nation
as it will to the men affected.
Like the bituminous settlement ne
gotiated last week, the outcome of
anthracite negotiations most forcibly
emphasize the wisdom of collective
bargaining in time of peace or war.
Anthracite operators were invited
to meet representatives of anthracite
mine workers following the con-
summation of the bituminous wage
increase which was occasioned solely
because of the extraordinary high
cost of living. To the operators
credit it may be said that they re.
sponded promptly, and in a spirit OF
consideration of unusual conditions
they agreed to reopen every wage pro-
vision of the anthracite contract.
Representatives of the operators
and miners who were charged with
the responsibility of negotiating the
1916 agreement during the past five
days have most diligently applied their
efforts in an endeavor to solve justi-
fed wage increases based upon the
various classified conditions of en-

Every newspaper and every maga-
zine for months past has told US that
our rights were invaded; that the ma
tional honor was at stake, and that
immediate measures must be taken
to redress the wrong. That is all true.
The United States, as we have SAID
over and over again, is the richest
nation in the world. The wealth of
this country is estimated at 230 bill
lions of dollars, which is more than
the wealth of the British Isles, Ger
many and France combined. In March,
1917, the assets of the national banks
of the United States reached the i'm
mense total of 16 billions, which is
five billions more than the combined
resources of the Bank of England, the
Bank of France, the Bank of Italy,
the Bank of Spain, the Bank of Nor
way, the Bank of Sweden, the Swiss
National bank, the National Bank of
Denmark, the Bank of Japan and the
Reichsbank of Germany.
Since 1913, the resources of all of
the banks in the United States have
increased about five billions of dol
lars. This prosperity is without par
allel in the history of the financial in
stitutions of the United States.
Now, as to rights.
What created this immense pros
perity? Three things. The demand

/ feel confident that the agreement
reached will alleviate the skyroccket-

sufficiently to tide the mine workers

ed crisis.
The signing of the anthracite agree
ment tonight, following the bituminous
settlement, insures industrial peace in
the basic industry of the nation, all
of which has been accomplished WITH
out threat, suspension of work, strikes
or interference from any outside source

JOB HARTMAN
ISSUES WARNING
SAYS SOCIALIST PARTY is
IN DANGER.
Platform Adopted by Emergency Con-
vention in st. Louis VIII Wreck
Organization Should 1t Be
Adopted by Referendum.

job Hartman, famous California
Socialist lawyer and once a candi-
date for mayor of Los Angeles, has
sent out a circular letter warning the
Socialists of the danger they are in
if they adopt the platform submitted
by the st. Louis convention of last
month and later attempt to carry out
the platform. The circular is of in
terest to all citizens and the meat of
it is as follows:
''The emergency Socialist party con-
vention, recently held in st. Louis,
has sent forth a proclamation which,
in my opinion, is exceedingly unwise
and extremely dangerous. The causes
of the war are stated correctly and
with great force. The policy to be
pursued by the party during the war
are stated with equal force, but are
devoid of wisdom and are pregnant
with unnecessary danger and dire con-
sequences to our movement.
'If the policy outlined by the con-
vention is adopted by the party, it
will lay the foundation for an attack
upon our organization which will ere
ate CONSERVATION in our ranks thru
out the land.
This document will support charge
of conspiracy to violate the federal
statutes. The prison doors will open
and gulp in our members by the thou
sands.
'No good can come to the movement
by such a course.
"When we recommend to the
workers, and pledge ourselves to con-
tinuous, active and public opposition
to the war thru demonstrations, mass
petitions and all other means within
our power and TO the support of all
mass movements in opposition to con-
scription' if conscription laws are
passed, we act in direct violation of
the United States statute which pro-
vides that IF two or more persons in
any state or territory conspire to
oppose by force the authority of the
United States, or by force to prevent,
hinder or delay the execution of any
law of the United States contrary to

HIGH COST OF TWINE
HITS u. S. POST OFFICE
Employees Are Directed to Save Od,I
BITS of Cord for Use to
Cut Expenses.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3.-New spare
time employment has been found for
the workers of the Post office depart
ment in the unraveling of ends of odd
bits Of twine that come into the post
offices throughout the country, and
in tying the ends together TO form
balls Of twine for tying purposes.
This is the result Of wave of
economy in the post office depart
ment. In calling attention to the fact
that such spare time employment is
given to idle men in some Of the post
offices the department states ut is
desired that this work is to be fol-
lowed throughout the service and that
excess twine which is accumulated
be sent by mail to the nearest large
post office or division headquarters
of the railway mail service
The department officials state that
owing to the abnormal increase in the
price of jute twine, a contract for the
supply of which has just been made
for a period of one year from Nov. /.
1917, it is necessary to emphasize pre-
vious appeals that care and economy
be exercised in the use Of twine and
that It be saved and reused when pos
sible..
| Clerks have been admonished Ia
use only the amount of twine neces-
sary to tie securely, and the instruc
tions state that "once around the
length and twice around the width arc
of sufficient to hold packages OF
large size. For smaller packages. less
/ twine should suffice"
Postmasters and superintendents Of
the railway mail service have beer
directed to restrict acquisitions to thC
minimum amounts, and they are tt
regard the notice to that effect as 9
warning, without further explanation
that the department will be forced t
act accordingly in filling their futur,
acquisitions for twine.

NEW YORK Jan. 3,-That Jimmy

the Brooklyn police, who say that in

When arraigned in the Gates Ave-
nue. court, charged with his most re-
cent burglary, in the home Of samucl
Holder, No. 1928 Bushwick avenue,
Ortner confessed his guilt and was
held without bail for the grand jury.
Though detectives under Capt.
Carey Of the Seventh branch bureau
have been trailing Ortner several
months, it was not until Christmas
night when he robbed Mr.. Holders
home that the police got evidence
against him. He was arrested in his
furnished room at No. 1890 Lafayette
avenue
Their youthful prisoner. the police
say. confessed two hundred burglaries
in the best residential sections OF
Brooklyn and said his loot during two
years totalled about 100000.
The amazing skill OF Ortner was
shown to detectives yesterday after
