REFUSE TO TOLL
FOR CONQUERORS

Labor is showing it's power against
Germany both in Belgium and in the
Ukraine. according to reports that
have reached the Department OF La
Dor. Not all of these have been veri-
fed, but it is pretty certain that large
numbers of Belgian workmen have
refused pointblank to do any work
for the occupants OF their nation, and
now similar word comes from the
Ukraine, where apparently a condi-
tion approaching the general strike
is existing.
The railroad men, II is reported,
have walked out by thousands at the
instance of agitators, who call upon
the men to refuse to work in order
that Germany may not ship food and
other supplies away from their own
country. The strike organizers have
spent. il is said, 100000 roubles in
anti-Germsn propaganda.
The peasants are no better pleased
than the railroad workers by the Ger
man occupation, and are reported
only awaiting a favorable opportun-
ity for revolt.

Upon his return to New York a

FRENCH ARE EAGER
TOLEARN ENGLISH

PARIS. Oct. English is threaten
ing to outstrip French as the universal
Ianguage-and is threatening to do 1t
on French territory. To learn Eng.
lish has become the national vogue to-
day in France. The presence on French
soil OF so many millions OF Anglo
Saxon soldiers has given rise to .
sudden desire among all classes to
speak English. When one remembers
the traditional antagonism and hos
tility OF the French toward speaking
any other language but the French the
change Is hardly less than q phenom-
enon.
The air is full Of schemes and de-
vices for teaching our tongue TO the
masses. Every teacher Of English
has more than he can do to fill the
wants OF all his pupils. An ingenious
plan of imparting the elements OF
English grammar to its readers has

ORGANIZING IN MEXICO

The strength OF the organized labor
movement in Mexico is now estimated
at about half a million workers. The
are the mining and textile industries
and the railroads. The miners in par
ticular are strongly organized in
three states. Mexican labor can now
be brought into the United States for
work on mines and railroads, as a
result Of the action taken by the De-
partment of Labor in removing GER
tain restrictions on labor movement
from the republic 70 the south.
An event of international import
ance, II is expected, will be the inter-
national labor congress at Laredo,
Tex, November ID, when American
and Mexican labor will confer on
matters OF common interest.

EXPORTS ENORMOUS
IN FOUR,WAR YEARS

NEW YORK. Oct. Exports of
manufactures from the United States
in the first four years OF the Euro
pean war were as much in value as
in the seventeen years preceding the
conflict, while exports OF foodstuns
in the war period were as much as in
the ten years prior to the war. Ex-
ports OF manufacturing material
actually declined.
A compilation by the National City
Bank. just made public, shows that
the total foreign trade OF the country
in the first four years of the war was
s2e. 232. 900 900, and in the four years
Immediately preceding the war. $l5.-
072, 100000. The imports increased
from $685., OOo, 900 to $9.55s,00O.0 90,
while the exports jumped from 3d.
100000 to SIS. 100000.
Forty Per Cent Increase.
The increase in imports was vir-
tuaIly 40 per cent. and in exports.
III per cent. The banks figures. 1t
was stated, were based upon the Of
fetal returns for the forty-eight
months from August /. 1914, in which
month hostilities started, to August,
J, 1918. The pre-war period taken
for comparison was the four fiscal

How much of the increase was due
to higher prices cannot be accurately
determined at present. the banks
statement said. 1t was possible. how
ever, to show by great groups OF ar
ticles the increases and decreases in
imports and exports when measured
by values. Exports Of raw materials
for use in manufacturing, for ex-
ample, showed an actual decline in
value despite the higher prices, the
total value OF raw material for use
in manufacturing exported in the
four years of war having been only
81, 733. 000, 900, against S2,96l 100000 in
the four years preceding the war.
Less Cotton Exported.
This faIl-ofr in the value Of manu-
featuring material exported is due
chiefly to a decline OF about 80 per
cent in quantity OF cotton exported.
Germany, Austria Hungary, Belgium
and Russia, normally large buyers of
cotton, having been out of the mar
ket
In all the other groups OF articles
exported, however. the figures Of the
war period are far in excess of those
OF the pre-war period. Foodstuffs eN-
ported in the four war years agEre-
gated $4,S52 900, 900, against SI,13s,-
100000 in the pre-war period of four
years. Manufactures exported in the

80 important is the mining indus

Department Of Labor, the British

PAPER CONSUMES COAL

The paper industry is a large con-
sumner Of fuel. On the coarser grades
OF paper one ton OF coal is consumed
on the average for each ton of paper
produced, while on the finer grades
two or, in some cases, even three tons
OF coal are consumed for each ton Of
paper.
Estimating the total production OF
paper during the year at 6,000.O0O
tons, the consumption of coal would
be from 10000 to 1O,OOO,OOO tons.
In addition a large part of the coal
consumed by the Canadian paper in
dustry comes from the United States
A saving in the consumption Of pa
per of IS per cent would mean the re
lease of nearly $500. 900 tons of coal
for war purposes, together with the
car space required to transport this
tonnage. 1t is conservatively esti-
mated that there will be n shortage
OF coal this year OF from 50,0O0,O00 to
go, o0O. 900 tons.
