''The government, through the
United States Equalization Board,
suggests that the sugar be placed at
points where it is most needed for
fruit preserving purposes. We have
decided to distribute these Is cars
alloting one car to each of the Is
states in this territory, and we ask
you to designate the city or town in

Government Control
OF Electricity Urged
British Committee Plans Bill
to Put Board in Charge of
Nations Supply

LONDON, Jan. 30.-Control of the
generation and distribution of electric
ity throughout the United Kingdom is
proposed by bill now being prepared
BY the government. Authority over cleo
trio supply. which is now vested in the
Board o. Trade and other government
experiments, would be transferred by
the bill to a very small board, having
probably only five members.
The United Kingdom would be d-
vided into districts, the board mem
bers having in mind, first OF ALL the
requirements Of industrial sections. In
each district subsidiary board would
be appointed to take direct charge. All
chased and placed in the hands of the
local boards. each of which would be
held responsible for the supply of cleo
tricity in its district and for the estab-
l1shment of new generating stations
and transmission systems. If private
companies wish to enter the electric
business they would be compelled to
buy their current from the local board
and their earnings would be under con-
troll. 1t is suggested that the local
boards would only meet all expenses
and pay no profits The financing of
the plan would be in the hands of the
government. except where it is practi-
cable and advisable to finance the plan
locally.
This plan is brought forward as a
compromise between public and private
control. The report upon which the
bill is based was made by a committee
which, points out that the electric sys-
tenn of the country is inadequate and
recommends the adoption Of a plan
which will meet the requirements of
the country.

Baron Rothschild played a cor

when food became unobtainable and
famine threatened, went to London

American Legation in Brussels, to OBJ

10000 tons. The food was bought
through Herbert C. Hoover. and it rep

acted pursuant to the treaty of Bucha-

The union also announced receipt of
messages stating that conditions sur
rounding Jews in Rumania were terri

All in Bitter Earnest

There was no excitement at all, and
apparently no delusions I have seen
many strikes start, but never one like
this. I have never anywhere seen such
{. capable, intelligent looking au udience.
Each man seemed to know what he was
doing, and why he was doing it.
The only cheer came when speaker
referred to the wages of policemen as
too low. Policemen standing affably
about smiled in sympathy. The many
workers with whom / talked did not
merely echo the words of the leaders,
but gave their own reasons why now
was the time to break down the whole
structure of society. They said this
was but the opening wodge.
There was no ranting or boasting of
power, but deep realization of the
power behind them.
1t must be remembered that this
strike is unofficial in that it has not
been sanctioned by the regular union
officials. Most of these officers now
hold government jobs, and to the
Scotch workers they merely represent
organized government opposition to di-
rect action.

Strike Committee
Is Supreme Power
Controlling Belfast

LONDON, Jan. 31.-Telegrams from
Belfast depict a situation there which
seems akin to that which recently OBJ
tained in German cities under revolu-
tionary rule. The governing power
has been usurped by the strike COM
mittee, says Belfast dispatch to "The
Mail" and the city is governed, not
from the magnificent municipal build
ing known as the City Hall, but from
the humble Artisans Hall.
"There is no outstanding person
ality,' says the dispatch, "but there
is a capable committee Of local trade
union leaders, most Of whom are mod
crate and restrained. Nobody can do
anything unless he comes, cap'in hand,
to this committee. Even the police are
helpless, and the chief of police has
asked the strike leaders to cooperate
with the constables in preventing dis
order and lawlessness. When strikers
go to fotsl to cut off electric current,
police accompany them. The postmas-
ter has thanked the strike committee
for allowing the postoffice to use cleo
tricity.
"The committee has prescribed a
limited amount Of work in certain in
dustries, particularly those involved in
feeding and warming the people.
Otherwise there is no industrial or
commercial activity whatever. Lest the
strikers become bored, the committee
has drawn up programme of enter
tainments to replace the closed the
aires and moving picture houses. The
lack of newspapers has been met by
the publication of a strike paper at a
commandeered plant. The firm of
printers is ordered to instruct it's en-
ployes to print the paper, and seems
to have complied without demur, al
though one of the partners vainly pro-
tested.
Fear Further Communicating
"The incident has created some
anxiety as to further Communicating
and some eagerness on the part of the
printers to know who is to pay them.
Many discharged soldiers and sailors
are cooperating with the strikers.
at is reported that shipyard men
and engineers at Londonderry are ar
ranging to follow the example of the
Belfast strikers"
New-York tribune., 1919-02-01
Leaders Lack Power

What the union leaders do is mat
ter of nc moment to the strikers. They
say that any agreement which they
may make in the future will be only
convenience, for they cannot counte-
nance bargains with capital.
Since Monday the number Of men
out has steadily increased, and it will
continue to increase, for the strikers
arc largely keymen upon whom other
sections of the work depend. Thus, in
one plant only the >moulders went out,
but the manager told me that in
week the plant would have to shut
down owing to the lack of castings.
In another shop the electricians went
out, and 5000 other men had to quit
work. The men who go out join the
strikers, willingly, or at the instance
Of the pickets. Instead Of persuading
the men to say out, the strikers mass
about the shop entrances and simply
refuse to move. Mass picketing, they
call it, to prevent any one entering.
But at the same time the strike leaders
have kept the bakers at work, also the
tram employees, so that no innocent
persons may be inconvenlenced.
Violence Still Lacking
There has been no violence yet. The
strikers are careful about that, but
single blunder, stray shot, would
find the workers of Scotland in open
rebellion.
There is still another phase about
the present movement. These strikers
are not getting any strike allowances |
asked group of them what they were
going to do when their money ran out.
They answered simply: "Then we sup
pose we will have to requisition what
ever we need
1t is difficult to believe that Bolshe-
vism would break out in so canny
race as the Scots, but there is nothing
else behind the strike.
