road building service throughout every
state in the union. The Quads are be-

way commissioners and through them
to road commissioners OF practically
every county in the United States.
This announcement follows closely

BOLSHEVISM IS MAKING LITTLE
 GAIN IN DENMARK

London, Oct 20 (By the Associat- ed Press. .)-Bolshevism has not ob- tained so strong a hold ill Denmark as it has in Norway, writes a Copen- hagen correspondent of the widely read British weekly, Common Sense. In Denmark the Syndicalists strive to play much the same role as do the Left-Socialists in Norway who are re- ported to be supporters of the Rus sian brand of Socialism.
 '"The Syndica1ists, however, make no show in the Danrsh Parliament says the correspondent. Since the riots in Copenhagen last November, when the Grontrov distri in the center of the city was wrecked and many scores of civilians and police men were injured, there has been tendency to regard them as a mere anarchist rabble. But, as everywhere in Scandinavia, the power over the wage earners is greater than their voting strength and they have suc- ceeded, usually against the Associa- ton of Trade Unions which has a large majority behind it, in bringing about prolonged strikes.
 tfThe Danish Syndica1ists, by vfo- lent attacks on the Majority Socialist party and denunciation of it's lead CTS, Stauning and Borgbjerg, have gained certain pull among the wage earners.
 ''The Syndica1ists' connection with the Russian Bolsheviki has been re- peatedly indicated. This gave the cab inet a good excuse for repression so that arrests, press prosecutions and expulsions take place on a scale in- conceivable in Sweden or Norway where the Left-SociaIists have the rank of recognized parties.
 Further, the Danish employers are threa tening a great lockout and de- clare that if the wages demanded costs beyond certain point, they will cease manufacturing altogether and will in future make their profits by importing and selling cheaper foreign goods.''

OPEN FIGHT FOR
 NATURALIZATION
British Miners Start Cam paign in Manchester
 Seek Public Support

Manchester, England, Oct. 3D. The campaign of the Miners Fedora tion to enlist public support for their demand for the standardization of the
 mines was opened at a meeting in the Free Trade Hall, Manchester. MT. Robert Smillie, president of the Min CTS Federation, was kept from the meeting by a cold. In his absence Frank Hodges, secretary of the Fed eration, was the principal speaker. | The audience unanimously adopted a resolution supporting the miners in | their demand.
 J. E. Sutton, of the Lancashire and Cheshire Miners Federation, who presided, said that the miners were prepared, in their own interests and the interests of the community, to produce coal, but they were not go- ing on for ever producing for the benefit of individual coal owners. From 1913 to 1919 the coal owners Of this country took out in profits f163, O,00G-f3O, 100000 more than the whole of the capital they had in vested in the mines, he said.
 Councillor R. J. Davis, of the Man chester and Stafford Labor Party, said he hoped that the miners would use, not only the political machine, but, if 1t became necessary, would use the industrial power of their organiza- uon. "I don't at the moment remem- Der the miner securing very much without the industrial weapon,'' he added.
 A. A. Purcell, chairman of the Manchester Trades Council, said he thought it possible to ser up an or ganization between the trade unions and the cooperative societies that
 
 food supplies during such a struggle as the recent railway strike.
 MT. Hodges said that in 1913 this country yielded 287,00O,oOO tons of coal. It was estimated that for the year ended July, 1920, only 217 7,000,- 900 tons would be produced-a clear drop of 70,000,000 tons. The decrease, colossal as it was, was accompanied by an increase of 15O,OO0 in the num- Der of men employed at the mines. The reason for the fall in output was the great question which the Coal Industry Commission had to investi- gate. In that Investigation the ques- tion of wages was found to be com paratively insignificant, and as the hours of employment, important as they were, were dealt with in a fort night. The root cause of the decline took much longer to investigate and understand, he said. There was an in dication in the first report of the Commission that it had struck a clue which might lead to very definite discoveries if followed up, and Jus tice Sankey and three representatives of the employing interests-Sir Tho mas Royden, a ship owner, MT. Bal four, a Sheffield steel merchant, and Sir Arthur Duckham, who was inter
 
 that with the evidence already be- fore them the system of production which had been in operation in the mining industry hitherto stood con- demned, according to the speaker. Therefore some other system must take it's place. That meant there was a disease in the mining industry which required a radical operation to remedy it, said MT. Hodges.

COUNCILS MAY
 BE ESTABLISHED
 IN GERMAN SHOPS

Berlin, Oct. 20.-The Committee on Industrial Councils of the Ma tional Assembly has approved draft of a proposed law by which a council of employees would be compulsory in every business esta tablishment employ ing more than 20 persons.
 The plan of permitting councils of employers to have a voice in the con- trol of industries was sponsored and originated by the Majority Socialist Party. Recently their own plan has reacted against them for the Inde- pendent Socialists have obtained con- trol Of the employees councils in some metal working plants and have ruled that Majority Socialists must be dis missed. When the employers endea- Vored to assert the principle that they should hire men for what they could do. not because of their poli- tics. the Independents replied that 1t would be better for members of one political faith only to be en- lpioyed in a factory So that no time would be lost in political arguments.

GERMANY DAZED BY STERN PEACE
 TERMS OF ALLIES

Berlin, Nov. 19-(By the A. P.)- 1 Germany is fairly dazed by the de- l mands and requirements of the En- l tente military and naval commissions for the housing of their supervisional forces, which according to the peace treaty, may have their headquarters at the seat Of the German govern
 ment, and place sub commissions at any desired point in Germany.
 The Entent has given notice that it will send a chief commission to Ber- lin, and ten sub-commissions to oth- CT points. It demands, from Ber- lin hotel accommodations comprising 500 rooms, housing for 300 non commissioned officers and men, and garage facilities for 60 automobiles These are the requirements for the army and naval forces.
 For the air forces the Entente wants 200 rooms in a hotel, 100 of flee rooms, housing for 45O persons, and garage space for 50 automobiles The figures look large to Geermans for guests at all the big hotels even now are happy to be able to creep in to a bathroom and snatch some sleep.
 The Council of States has decided that the money agreed upon to fur n1Sn quarters LOT the Enlente mis- sions, 5,000,000 marks, was not enough. It is, however, rooms, ho- tels, dwellings, more than money, which is worrying the government.
 The government has made a be- ginning by announcing that it will confiscate one hotel which has 1855 rooms, and use the building in Will helmstrasse, now the headquarters of a press division, for office space.
 Another hotel has been confiscat- ed for the air division. That, how ever, leaves a big gap between what can be supplied and what is demand ed. The government may perhaps heed the many suggestion made re- gently for using various former royal and princely castles, which would re- lieve the strain on the already over strained Berlin hotels.

WILL NOT KEEP OUT CHEAP
 GERMAN TOYS

Glasgow, Nov. 1.-British toy man ufacturers have received no encour- agement from the Board of Trade that they would receive any protec- ton against the invasion of cheap toys made in Germany. Instead of this they have been told that they must revise their methods, both of manufacturing and trading, to em- ploy up-to-date machinery, and to re- ly upon British enterprise. No at tempt will be made to keep out Ger man toys.
 The correspondent of the 'Herald' explains the importance of the Ger man toy industry.
 For its dimensions 1t is one of the most highly developed in the country, he says It is the serious occupation of nearly 100000 men women and children in many parts of the coun- try. It has it's own chambers of com ~merce, its own trade newspapers, and it's own annual exhibit of novelties. The writer has a copy of the princi- pal trade journal of the toymakers before him, and he notes that they are seeking the raw material of their work. The advertise for metals of va rious kinds, for ivory, bone, wood, glass cardboard, papfermache, lea ther, wax, rubber, cenuloid, etc. We gather that there are extensive toy factories in Erzbirge, in Satffen, Grunhaichen, Olbernhau. and Sayda There is a huge factory in the TO- mantle village of Oberammergau, the headquarters of the Passion Play, and employing 400 workers.
 The Raube Alb of Wurtemburg is scattered over with little towns and villages where toymaking is the chief industry next to agriculture. Son nenberg considerable town in Thur ingia, and it's entire neighborhood make little else than toys, and in Berlin, Nuremberg, and Stuttgart are large factories solely engaged in the making of toys so largely used for export.
 At a meeting recently of the Nur- emberg Toymakers' association 1t was announced that in the year before the war this association, combined with that of Stuttgart, had exported more toys to Great Britain and Amer ica than the output of the whole or France, and that German manufac- turers, especially of the artistic and more expensive sorts, had no longer any reason to fear the competition or their rivals.

MINE SWEEPING WORK HAS BEEN
 NEARLY FINISHED

London, Nov. 19.-(By The Asso- ciated Press) The task of clearing the home waters of moored mines having been finished, the Admiralty has directed the release of all but 5000 officers and men who have been engaged in this dangerous work Dur ing the war there were 600 officers and 15,000 men engaged in the mine sweeping service.
 Drifting mines must still be ex- pected, shipping men have been warned, but it is believed that south west winds will soon drift them into the Heligoland Eight.
 Afrships were used for "spotting'' the moored mines and the highest tides were chosen for sweeping so that the trawlers drifted over them. to cause Senator Lodge additional trouble.
