(By DAVID LAWRENCE.)

Four hundred and ninety millions
of silver dollars have been lying in
the treasury Of the United States for
many years while the American peo-
pie have been using an equivalent
number of silver certificates, but not
until serious financial situation
arose recently affecting one of our
allies in another part of the globe did
anyone suppose this bulk of silver
could furnish another utility besides
circulating medium in this country.
For the real purpose behind the
bill which has passed Congress to
permit the melting of $50, 100000 sill
yer dollars is to help Great Britain
pay her trade balances in India and
thus assist in readjusting the price of
silver the world over, something that
should assist in the movement to bring
the American dollar back to par.
Production Has Declined.
Production of silver has declined
in recent years, principally because
of disturbed conditions in Mexico. The
price of silver has gone from 4Sl9
cents an ounce to Sl1S and the fiuc-
tuations have been constant. Re
Gently il has been in the neighborhood
of 9S cents an ounce. Now the gov
ernment of the United States has
discovered n unique way to stimulate
production. 1t proposes to fix the
price of silver at 81 an ounce, which
is considered reasonable.
This is much higher than silver
sells for in ordinary times, and is suf-
ficient to induce operators to resume
production Mt the mines. OF course,
if no price were fixed the demand for
silver would shortly be such that all
of our bullion would be exported, as
the European war has enlarged the
demand for silver. and the European
belligerents have required unprece-
dented quantities of silver coin for
their armies and civilian populations.
Similarly, China and India absorb n
great amount of silver, as the Orient
is willing to accept it in place of gold
for commodities purchased of them,
and the demand for such Indian prod
ucts' as the jute bags for sugar. grain,
and fertilizer and wrappers for cot

GREEN SIDESTEPS
ELECTION FRAUD
JAMES JORDAN TAKES OF
FICIAL TO TASK.
Says Board Members Were Aware of
the Scheme of Moran and Pippin
to Defraud Rank and File in Sc
lecting Men of Their Choice.

A few weeks ago James Jordan of
Oak Creek, former active member of
the United Mine Workers of America,
wrote letter to General Secretary
Treasurer Green at headquarters in
Indianapolis, giving facts and figures
on the election frauds committed in
District Is. In his letter of reply,
Green says:
you must bear in mind that Broth
ers Zimmerman, VanHorn and Wat
kins, members of the international
Executive Board, were required to fol-
low the record in the district office
showing the amount of tax local
unions paid to the district"
AS is well known, the books at dis
trict headquarters in Pueblo were in
the hands of James F. Moran of Iowa
and Warren E. Pippin of Kansas, who
saw to it that they were properly fixed
to put the fraud election over.
Jordan again wrote Secretary Green
under date of April 15, reaffirming
his charges of fraud, as follows:
"OAK CREEK, Colo, April Is, 1918.
Mr.. William Green, indianapolis, Ind
Dear Sir: Your favor of April
6 received and contents carefully
noted. You claim that the tellers
were required to follow the records in
the district Office, showing the amount
of tax that the local unions had paid
to the district. You also claim it was
a district election, which is true, but
the election was supposed to be car
ried out according to the international
constitution, there being no charter in
District Is at that time
You claim that you furnished the
board members with a tabulated re-
port taken from the books in your
Office showing the number of men,
bers local unions in District Is had
paid tax on. This was given them
as a matter of information, and for
the purpose Of making comparison
with the districts books. You have
failed to state what you thought of
the comparison and / wish to draw
your attention TO the copy of the tab
ulated report | sent you
''In that report there We're fourteen
of the local unions which / marked,
six of which had a total membership
of $50, and the remainder had no mem
bership at all. Yet those fourteen To-
Gals cast 2,434 votes which were
counted. Now, how much credit does
this reflect upon the U. NJ. w. of A =?

the corrupt officials and the
president of the international organi-
zation responsible for the whole state
of affairs. because the whole thing was
dictated by him, and he has paid more
attention to the advice of ballot box
stuffer of an organization than he has
to the pleadings of the miners of this
district. You claim that ! myself
must decide whether or not to leave
the organization and identify myself
with the secession movement. In the
name of God. can you point out one

Stabilizes Silver Market.
Lord Reading, the British ambas-
sador, has been appealing to the
United States for some time to help
the allies on their silver situation,
and the ingenious scheme of making
a temporary loan from its own vaults
was hit upon by the Washington gov
ernment as the best means of stabil-
izing the silver market thruout the
whole world.
In this way a big quantity of silver
which has been serving no useful
purpose becomes available for direct
war use. To meet the contraction in
silver certificates, federal reserve bank
notes in small denominations are to
be issued. but retired as soon as the
silver is repurchased and silver GER
tificates are once more sent into circu-
lation What is proposed is, of
course, temporary measure, but it
illustrates the close unity among the
allies and the hitherto undreamed of
ways in which the funds of the gov
ernment are being used to stabilize
credit among the partners in the war
for democracy.

ARMY CAMP WORK
BEGUN THIS WEEK
UNION WAGE SCALE OF
DENVER TO PREVAIL.
Major Cameron, Here in Charge of
Construction, Holds Satisfactory
Conference With Building Trades
Business Agents Committee.

Construction work on the s1,750,000
army recuperation camp for Denver
actively began Monday morning at
Gutheil park, 600-acre tract at end
of Montview boulevard, about five
miles east of the capitol. Nearly 100
union carpenters were busy this week
constructing a temporary administra-
ton building to house the seventy-five
clerks and engineers necessary TO keep
the work in operation. An employ
ment office is also being erected at
entrance to the grounds; Work on
railroad spur from the Union Pacific
tracks. extending a mile and a half,
is. expected to begin at once, as will
extension of the city water mains.
Until such time as the street car
tracks are extended, employees will be
convened in motor trucks from end of
car line to and from work.
Major w. ]. Cameron and Captain
F. ]. Wood, representing the United
States army department, are here in
charge of the big enterprise. c. S.
Lambie of Denver is the chief con-
tractor.
Friday of last week a conference
was held between Major Cameron and
committee of the building trades
board of business agents, which is
reported to have been quite satisfac-
tory. All of the work will be done
under union conditions at wages pre-
vailing for the respective crafts in
Denver.
Complete plans for the buildings
are expected to reach Denver from
Washington this week. 1t is estimated
that from first to last a force of
$500 will be employed, thus taking
up all the stock in the building trades
of the state.

of the administration building site on

WOMEN'S WAGE LAW IS UPHELD
Court Holds That Employees Cannot
Sign Away Rights

The state supreme court has up
held the Washington women's mini
mum wage law in a suit brought by
Lille Larson against ]. R. Rice, own
er of a moving picture theater at
Chehalis
Before the law was enacted the girl
was paid So a week, and continued
receiving that rate after the law be-
came effective. The girl sued to re-
cover the difference
Later she was induced to sign an
agreement to accept $40 in settle
ment. According to the minimum
wage law she was entitled to S27S.57.
Rice contended that the girl was of
legal age and could make contract
of settlement. The supreme court
holds that the state is interested in
such cases and will not permit set
tlement in violation of the minimum
wage law. A judgment against Rice
for the full amount was affirmed.

state of affairs that has brought about
revolutions in many countries, and
will keep bringing revolutions until
such time as there is a universal law
passed which will make it nothing less
than capital punishment for such a
crime.

responsible for the secession move

ton and for trench bags and othec arti-
cles of military necessity has been
enormous.
Silver Is Embargoed.
If the government of the United
States did not intervene, the Ameri-
can producer would export his silver
to whatever part Of the globe offered
him the highest price. An embargo
on the export of gold and silver bull
lion except by license has been i'm
posed by the war trade board. 1t
is in the interest of the United States
that foreign trade balances be paid
in silver rather than gold. And pay
ment by silver means definite set
tlement as against the alternative
system of exchange arrangements
which are nothing more than de-
ferred demands for gold.
BY taking out of the treasury $780,
100000 silver dollars and withdraw
ing out of circulation silver certifi-
Gates to the same amount, the total
amount of silver bullion in the world
will be tremendously increased. Amer
lea can advance silver to Great Brit
ain to help her buy war materials in
India, and nothing is lost by the trans
action. For the treasury merely will
borrow from itself.
Price Is Attractive.
When the 350,00O,000 dollars have
gone into the melting pot and the
price of silver has been fixed at n
dollar an ounce. the production of
silver undoubtedly will increase at
once.
For, while labor and other costs
have risen, the price of a dollar an
ounce will be attractive. Should it
prove too profitable to some promo
ters, of course, it will come back to
the government in the form of excess
profits taxes. BY limiting the amount
that can be exported, producers will
be forced to sell to the United States
government, and the treasury will re
purchase later on at 81 an ounce
some of the newly produced silver and
recoin standard dollars therefrom.
Raymond T. Baker, director of the
mint, has been working on the plan
for many months in conferences with
Westasp senators Of both parties.
