GERMAN EXPANSION
WILL BE CUT OFF
New "Mittel Europa" Planned By
Diplomats

Paris, Jan. 15-German expansion
toward the Balkans, and Russia will
be effectually cut off by the estab-
lishment of new "Mittel Europa"
stretching from the Mediterranean to
the Baltic, it was revealed in diplo-
matte circles today.
E The success of Premier Venizelos
of Greece in reaching an agreement
with Serbia, Roumania, the Czecho-
Slovaks and the Jugo-Slavs regarding
a future concerted policy laid the
foundation for the Balkan Confedera-
ton and established the southern por-
ton of this "Mittel Europa"
Negotiations are now proceeding
successfully for the purpose of lining
up Poland, the northern section of
the bloc. The consummation of this
plan would thus constitute a barrier
against which Teutonic eastern aspi-
rations would be powerless.

Coming all Right

White River Junction, Jan. Is
From reports received at state head
quarters the campaign in Vermont
to raise 100000 to aid the suffering
peoples in the war devastated coun-
tries of the Near East is progressing
as well as weather and health condi-

ture Vermont should attain the goal
by Saturday night.
With the exception of Hardwick, in

that county promise to reach or go
beyond their quotas. In Hardwick
there is a strike among the granite
workers and an epidemic of influenza
which have seriously retarded the
work cf soliciting.
Newport city, in Orleans county,
has reached its quota of nearly $1,000.
and Lowell, with the assistance of the
local Red Cross, has raised its quota.
Gen. Merop N. Azgapetian delivered
an address before large audience at
Barton last night, much enthusiasm
being shown.
Rev. John F. Longland, pastor of
the Advent church at Beebe Plain
has sent $15 to the state chairman
and writes that "this was what was
raised at a small gathering" of his
church. Rev. Longland wishes the
campaign in Vermont every success,
because of the great needs Of the
poor people in the East"
Gilbert M. Campbell, chairman Of
the drive in Caledonia county, re-
ported to headquarters this morning
that already it could be reported that
the county would fully reach it's quo
to. "You know" said Mr.. Campbell,
"we have a way Of accomplishing
things in old Caledonia"
Essex County, with only a few
towns reported, promises to go be-
yond it's quota.

mittee for Relief in the Near East

DEFINES FREE" SPEECH

Pittsburg, Pa. - Attacks against
Mayor Babcock's denial of free speech
and free assemblage in this city have
forced him to publicly explain his at
tempt to maintain peace and order.
"The fact" he says, " that Mr.. Fos-
ter { of the strike committee) is con-
tinually in the city and has the repu-
tation of starting trouble in other
places, causes me to to plan to be
ultra safe and conservative in the in
terests of the city of Pittsbhrg and
all the people inside its strike zone.
Permits have been granted for meet
ings in the labor temple and Kenyon
hall, north side, and there is no OBJ
lection to having other meetings in
similar districts where there has been
no trouble and no trouble is expected" )"
According to the mayors reasoning
if a worker has the "reputation" no
matter how acquired - for Starting
trouble" and if some one tells the
mayor that trouble is expected"
these are sufficient to set aside con-
stitutional guarantees.

BEWARE OF PRESS REPORTS

Pittsburgh, Pa. -"Don't put any
credence in the daily press reports
concerning the steel STRIKE" warns
Editor Davis, of the Amalgamated
Journal, official magazine of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers.
Everything" declares the labor
editor, ''is colored to make the strike
appear to be failure for the purpose
of deluding the public and stampeding
the workmen back into the mills.
every discouraging report con-
cerning the success of the strike in the
daily press can be discountd at almost
100 per cent.
"If the mills of the Pittsburg dis
trict have resumed in full, why did
Pittsburg daily papers print full page
advertisements under the heading GO
Back to Work Monday in six different
languages?
Beware! 1t is only coporate propa-
ganda."

DISCARDED
ALLEGED OPEN SHOP REJECT
ED BY THINKERS
Labor Representative Take No Part
in Conference if Employers Re-
fuse to Deal Collectively

Washington - The alleged "open"
shop is rejected by every one who has
seriously studied the economics of la
Dor contracts, said A F. of l.. Secre-
tary Frank Morrison, acting as chair
man of the labor group in the indus
trial conference during President
Gompers' temporary illness.
The trade unionist called attention
to declarations in favor Of collective
bargaining by the recent national war
labor board, the Canadian royal COM
mission on inquiry into industrial re-
lations, the British national conference
convened by Premeier Lloyd George
last February, the favorable attitude
of British employers toward cOllec-
tive bargaining, as reported last May
by commission Of business men ap-
pointed by the United States depart
ment of labor, to the policy of the
British government in recognizing
collective bargaining, as recommend
ed by the Whitley commission, created
by the government, and also the poll
cy Of officers of the United States
railroad administration.
Attention was called to the accept
ance of collective action by the work.
ers in Australian and Norwegian ar
bitration courts and its general ac-
ceptance in France, Sweden, Ger
many and other European countries.
Finally" said Secretary Morrison,
mo representative of labor authorized
by labor could possibly take part in
the present industrial conference if
employers in general in the United
States should refuse to deal with wage
workers or groups of wage workers
mot in their employ or not chosen
among their employees Logically the
capital group in this body should re-
fuse to recognize the labor group in
this body as representing labor.
"The considerations Of employing
class managers of colossal corpora
tions bent on paying dividends on
billions of capital, largely fictitious,
represented in this industrial con-
ference, have challenged the common
sense of the American people in de-
manding the dissolution of the solid
arity of the workers.
"The union shop is the sole practi-
cal obstacle to that -Americaniza-
tion of labor which for years has been
the policy of the economic oligarchy
governing the basic industries of this
country"

CAR GARY
NO COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
SAYS STEEL TRUST
81 Have Nothing to Arbitrate" is the
Ultimatum Issued by Judge Gary
at Industrial Conference

Washington - After a conference
with his associates in New York,
Judge Gary notified the presidents
industrial conference, of which he
is member, that the steel corpora
tion would not waver in its stand
against arbitrating the steel strike or
for absolute and complete non-union-
ism in it's plants.
1t was the mailed fist, encased in
velvet, that Judge Gary presented 20
the nation.
The employer group was urged by
business interests throughout the
country to stand pat for nOn-union-
ism, and they were assisted by every
water boy for the oligarch elephant,
who told the public that the workers
demand for collective bargaining was
a camoufage for revolution" The
same tactics has permitted the en-
ployer group to escape public censure
because of their stand behind the
steel trust in it's refusal to arbitrate
the steel strike.
The sentiment expressed by Judge
Gary, and supported by large busf-
ness interests, is not new. Other
employers have made similar state
ments. Other employers have said:
II have nothing to arbitrate," and
declared, as did the French monarch:
81 am the state"
The defeat of these men is nothing
to Judge Gary and his associates who
seem blind in the passing of other
Bourbons and who now refuse to ar
bitrate the steel strike or yield COM
pplete mastery over the men in their
employ.
Replying to Judge Gary, President
Gompers treated the matter as an
other of the many obstacles that have
confronted the organized workers.
"The solicitude," said the trade
unionist, "of the modern employer
who has that understanding of and
that great sympathy for the unor-
ganized workers-well, the unorgan-
lied workers know where to come
when they are in great stress. They
know where they can get sympathy;
they know where they can get en-
scouragement; they know where their
hope lies-and they come to US to be
rid of the domination and injustices of
arbitrary employers"
