LLOYD GEORGE
 T0 TAKE PART
 IN LABOR |[[S
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

LONDON, Feb. S-Premier Lloyd George reached London from Paris to- night. To reporters who asked how matters were going in Paris, the pre- mier replied tersely. Well"
 MT. Lloyd George is expected to take up his famous role as conciliator in dealing with labor troubles. Several newspapers appeal to him to produce in parliament comprehensive scheme for uniform hours of work and a basis of wages in the primary industries and not undertake piece-meal settlements which might create trouble.
 The underground strike situation is complicated. Notwithstanding official statements that the strikers came to an agreement with the board of trade in the early morning hours. London was without underground trains today, and there is no prospect of them Sunday.
 The associated society of locomotive engineers, which is the principal organ iZation on strike. made an agreement but now the members of the National Union of Railwaymen. which opposed the strike are standing out. The ex- planation the workmen give is the riv- airy between the two unions. the off eials of each wishing to show that it is the most powerful, and thereby gain inemDerS.
 Bolshevism is the explanation of the strike given by the national labor party executive committee. the chairman of which. James A. Seddon. has issued an appeal to the worker of Great Britain, saying:
 '"The extremist clements among the workmen are unWarrsntedly upsetting industry and abusing the strike weapon Tor the ulteror purposes of anarchy, thereby tending to destroy the efficacy of collective bargaining and introduc- ing chaos into the industrial world at a period when the most necessary -har- monious relations should prevail"
 Reminding the workers of their sac rifices in the war. he says they have le- gitimate grievances which should be settled by the unions. Make no mis- take" he continues this movement is being promoted and --a neuvered. and. in some cases subsidized by the agents of bolshevism."

EIGHT ARE DEAD IN
 B|C GAS EXPLOSION
TRepubIican A. p. Leased wlre1

PLATTSNILLE, Wis, Feb. S.-The death tonight Of Edward Ratzoll, IF years old, increased the death list in an explosion and fire which wrecked the three-story Realty building today, to eight. Nearly score of persons were injured by flying debris, while falling walls accounted for the death of three firemen. Among the dead is C. Rafferty. owner of the building.
 It was reported a gas explosion was responsible for the tragedy and also that gasoline exploded and started the blaze.
 Bremen had been called to a trivial blaze before the explosion. which blew out the four walls of the Realty build ing also known as the Forehand Block. containing stores, offices and flats. Most of the victims were killed out right in the collapse of the buildings. Debris was thrown about the streets and showered upon surrounding build- ings, but the fire was prevented from spreading.
 Among the seriously injured were D. R. Nockers, a youth, who. it was said. was probably fatally hurt, and Harry Duckworth. a bystander when tho explosion occurred. A 12-year- old son of Newton Edwards also was re- ported seriously injured.
 Fire Chief Frank Goddell and a sick woman in the building narrowly es- capped death or injury. Goodell entered the building with three firemen who were killed. The woman, Mrs. Ed wards, was carried to safety by fire men.

PROPACANDA PRESS
 REPORTS INCORRECT
Republican A p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON. Feb. S.-Printing of the official transcript of testimony of Captain R. c. Lester, of the army in tellige service before the senate committee investigating German pro- paganda has disc osed an error in the Associated Press report of statements by Captain Lester regarding the em- ployment of J. J. Dickinson in Wash ington by George Sylvester Niereck before the United States entered the war. Captain Lester testified that Dickinson was employed in 1916 and in response to questions said there was nothing in his Investigation to show any German cor nections or German activities by Dickinson after Febru- ary, 1917. The error occurring in the report of a discussion by Captain Lester of a letter written to Presi- dent Wilson after the United States went to war in which Niereck protes- ted loyalty, attributed to the witness the statement that it was only a short time after writing this letter that Vier- eek came to Washington and employed Dickinson as his secret agent to ob- tain information from the United States. The transcript shows that Dickinson's employment was discussed after the reference to the letter, but that Captain Lester did not connect the two incidents.
 MT Dickinson appeared before the committee June 17 at his own reques, and testified he was employed by Viereck to write articles for the Fath erland in 1916, and that he severed the connection when the United States broke relations with Germany.

REPORT INCREASE
 IN UNEMPL PLOYMENT
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-Greater in creases in the area of unemployment were shown in reports for the week made public today by the department of labor In the last three weeks the percentage of cities showing surpluses of labor has grown from A to 57 of those reporting, while the cities with shortages have decreased from 1S to Il per cent.
 Persons out of employment last week numbered 265,000 and this week 290,- SS1 Labor shortages amount to only 1000. The unemployment belt extends from New England to the Pacific coast, with conditions worst in Cleve- land, where there are 10000 workers idle. Detroit has S5000; Milwaukee, II, GOO; Pittsburg. 9100; Indianapolis, $500: San Francisco, 5000; and Los Angeles, 5000. In the copper districts of Arizona there are 5000 idle men.
 Slight shortages of labor still are re- ported in the south, especially of agri- cultural and lumber camp workers.

NAVAL AV|ATORS TO
 PREPARE PLANS FIR
 FLIGHT 0VER OCEAN

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Navv ayi- alton experts are planning a flight across the Atlantic. Commander John H. Towers was ordered today to take charge of the development of plans of assembly of material and personnel for the proposed trans Atlantic flight.
 Details as to how far the navy's plans have progressed have not been disclosed. but it was learned that 2 great deal of attention has been given to the project.
 While it is not now known what equipment it is planned to use in the flight or when it will be attempted. it is recalled that the navy deparment during the war developed a monster seaplane equipped with three Liberty motors giving it in the neighborhood of 1900 horsepower. This machine has as its body a substantially built boat and has carried as high as 51 persons in flights of considerable length.
 When the prospect of a trans-At- lantic flight was urged here by Major General Brancler of the air service las1 year it was brought out that the short est distance would be from Newfound- land 10 the Irish coast. This istapprox- lmately 2.0e0 miles and given a blanc capable of a sustained speed of 100 miles an hour, it could be made in twenty hours. So far as known, how ever. no plane has yet been built which could make the trip without stopping for refueling.
 The route most generally favored in naval circles, however is via the Azores. with a stop at the islands for fuel and oil. Some officers favor a half way stop at sea to re-fuel from a de- stroyer, if it is considered impossible to make the trip in a single flight.
 In general way it has been said heretofore that the crew of any plane attempting to cross the Atlantic would be composed of at least five men: two pilots to provide relief at the levers two mechanics, to care for the engines and a navigating officer to chart tha course.
 As to weather conditions, it was said that probably not before June would conditions become stable enough to warrant an attempt Another quiet period occurs in early fall. It is re- garded as doubtful that all prepara tions could be made by the summer l period, although this is one of the things Commander Tower will have tc determine by careful study.

REDUCE MINING WAGE IN GLObE-
 B|SBEE REC|0N

GLOBE. Ariz.. Feb. S.-Effective Monday morning wages of employees in the copper mines. mills and smelters of the Globe Miami district are re- duced 75 cents per day during the re- mainder of the month of February. Hiners and muckers who have been re- ceiving S5.90 per shift, will be paid s5.15. Wages of workers in other de- partments are reduced in like propor- ton.
 As the result of conferences held by the copper producing companies, and the conference at Washington of the United States labor department and accredited representatives of the en- ployes of the copper companies. agreement was reached for a readjust- ment of the sliding scale of wages in force prior to the entry of the United states in the world war.
 Under the new agreement, the slid- ing scale is based upon a minimum price for copper of IS cents, and the present wage of S5.90 paid miners and muckers in the Globe Miami district will prevail when copper is selling at 26 cents per pound.
 This is a concession and a distinct advantage to tho workers, as the wage cannot go below Si.9O per day.
 Wages to be paid will be based upon the average price of copper for the previous month. as quoted by the Engi- neering and Mining Journal No quo tations were given during the month of January as sales of copper were negligible and prices purely nominal Quotations on copper were resumed by the Engineering and Mining Journal commencing February 1.
 Notice regarding the reduction Of wages 75 cents per day will be posted tomorrow morning by the old Do- minion, Inspiration Consolidated and Miami copper companies The fol- ! lowing notice of the reduction in wages
 was issued by authority of Thomas II Donahue, general superintendent oi the Inspiration Consolidated company Effective February 19. 1919. the l present wages paid, which according | 10 the sliding scale is based on a sell | ing price of electrolytic copper at a. | cents, will be considered the wage l when copper is selling at 26 cents. "Employes wages paid will be based
 on the average Engineering and Min | ing Journal quotation for copper fol
 the previous month, except that unti | further notice the minimum wage vii | be based upon IS cents.
 "A reduction in wages of 15 and 1(
 cents alternately. per day, will be madC
 for each one cent drop in the price | below 26 cents down to IS cents in ac.
 cordance with the sliding scale. "As there is no official quotation O.

 The exact number of persons lost cannot be determined. Cap tain R. o. Hemnes, master of the Uwanta, was among the drowned. After leaving the island, which is on an arm of Puget Sound, the tender ran into a stiff gale. which caused the little craft to careen badly. A sudden lurch of the ves- sel in the seas swept the men overheard.

FELT HER ExAL1tD POSITION
Empress Theodore, Though Not Born
to the PurpiA. Was Every Inch
Royal Ruler.

The name Theodore has been borne
by more than one lady of distinction
in Rome and in the Orient The most
picturesque Of the group was the EN-
press Theodore, wife of Justinian,
Byzantine emperor, who lived fourteen
centuries ago. She was the daughter
of the keeper of wild beasts and was
an actress in pantomime, 'living
movies" one might call the perform
ances, for without speaking a word
she could make her audience hold it's
sides with laughter. But as soon as
she became empress it was as if the
blood of all the Caesars coursed
through her veins, for none was more
arrogant than this housekeeping
daughterA of the people. Here is one of
her orders to messenger: ''If you fail
in the execution of my commands
swear by Him that llveth forever that
your skin shall be fiayed from your
body" And the messenger knew that
she meant every word of it.
One may wonder If some of the mon
archs who recently have faded from
their thrones would have gone so read
lily If Theodore had been present.
There was an insurrection in Constan-
tinople and Justinian and the royal
household were about to escape on
vessels waiting at the stairs of the
palace gardens, communicating with
the sea. Then spoke Theodore: "1f
flight were the only means of safety
should yet disdain to fly. Death is
the condition Of our birth, but they
who have reigned should never survive
the loss of dignity and dominion. 1
implore heaven that / may never be
seen, not day, without my diadem
and purple" SO she restored the
waning courage of Justinian and his
generals, and the day was saved.

The Turk Becoming Good

Evidently that the Turk realizes
fully that he is licked and is willing
to be good because he must, is shown
in the following extract from a let
ter from Mr.. L. R. Fowle, treasurer
at Constantinople of the American
Committee for Armenian and Syrian
Relief.
"The great change has come in our
work and already we are finding that
letters from our agents in the in
terror are pouring upon us, the local
authorities have caused to hamper
and are even making efforts to help
us and our agents can travel and
move about, our communications with
abroad can be regular and sure and
the entire situation is so changed
that it is possible to begin construc-
tive work for those who, till the pres
ent time, we have been helping in
spite of the countless difficulties
thrown in our way"
From this it will be seen that these
people who are in the countries only
to do a great good, and who have
saved from perishing the greater part
of the stricken people who were real
ly our Allies in the late war, are now
in position to render, without any
great hindrance, the necessary aid,
and to supply these people with seeds
and implements, clothing, medical
stores, etc., to place them on a self
supporting basis. This should be a
cause for qualification to all those
who have contributed in the campaign
now closing, and should be an incen-
tive to all those who have not con-
tributed, to do SO, for this recon-
struction work is considered the most
necessary thing to be done at the
present time and if you have not con-
tributed, or can give more, it is hop
ed that you will bring or mail your
contribution to Mr.. Bracey Curtis,
Nogales, Ariz.
