INDUSTRIAL UNREST IN --
ENGLAND HAS REACHED
A CRITICAL STAG E
BY Reciprocal News Service.

London, Feb. 27.vThe slow-mov-
ing forces of unrest in England
have reached a critical stage. 1t
has been marked by the most urgent
appeal Lloyd George has yet made
to all politiral parties for an exam
ination of the industrial situation
in a spirit OF fair-mindedness to all
concerned,
The crisis has been precipitated
by the miners unions. They are
demanding shorter hours and that
wages shall be kept up to the poin.
OF guaranteeing the same standard
of living which existed before the
war. But neither of these is the
most serious issue of the crisis.
The Englih miners, whatevuer the
merits of their case today, have
been for many years the most po-
litically advanced section of the la
Dor movement There is evidence
of this in the constitution of the
present labor party in the house OF
commons, which is dominated bv
miners members. But while most
advanced in political activities the
miners have usually been a conser-
vative force as compared with the
socialistic elements of the move
ment. That is why they have been
able to hold and increase the num-
Der OF their seats in parliament,
while leaders like Macdonald and
Snowden and other avowed social
lists failed to obtain any representa-
ton in the present house. But the
agitation for national ownership of
public utilities has been growing
stronger in England every year and
received enormous impetus by the
many demonstrations of efficient
public control and management dur
ing the war, The railroad mems
union, for instance, has taken a
definite stand for the national con-
troll of the railroads.
For some months the question
of national ownership of the coal
mines has been discussed in every
miners union in England. The de
mand for it is growing; it is looked
upon with some favor by a number
of mine owners who believe that
they can get better price for their

BLOWOUT DURING
STOCK SHOW

Oklahoma Newspaper men coun-
ty demonstration agents, members
OF county breeders associations
and all men interested in the i'm
provement OF the states live stock
industry are invited to attend the
banquet OF the Southwest Ameri-
can live stock show at the Skirvin
Hotel, Oklahoma City, on We'd
nesday evening, March 5.
1t is expected the occasion will
be the most important event of its
kind ever held in the state, and that
besides an evening of entertainment
will afford a big boost to the SOL
gan, better live stock Oklahoma"
President f. NJ. Gault, of the Show
Association, reports that there will
be 400 head OF cattle of the differ
ent breeds judged during the week
OF March 2-7, and that the event
will afford an excellent opportu-,
nifty to study all types of beef cat
tie, swine and sheep.

property from the government now
while there is comparatively little
bitterness in the discussion, than il
they oppose the project with the
prospect OF ultimately having the
whole forces of the labor movement
turned against them. There is also
back OF their minds the thought that
worse things might happen than the
present demand for an orderly bus
inesslike examination OF the propo-
sition.
Although naturalization is not
specifically mentioned in the bill
which Lloyd George has introduced
for the constitution of parliament
ary commission to inquire into the
present condition of the industry.
this will assuredly become the main
issue when the commission reports.
Lloyd George himself will not give
any decided lead on the question.
II it were left to q vote of the pres
ent house of commons today there
would be an overwhelming decision
against naturalization. But an at
tempt may be made to take the de-
ciSion out Of the hnds of parlia-
ment.
Labor is very dissatisfied with the
present parliament. The labor par
ty claims that if it had representa-.
tion in proportion to the number of
votes recorded at the election it
would have twice its actual number
OF members in the house OF COM
mons. Speakers all over the coun.
try are advocating direct action in
view of what they call this failure
Of political action.
1t is quite possible that LLOYD
George will be faced by the serious
problem of a strike undertaken IL
order to force the hands of the\
house OF commons. To the orderly
British mind this in itself would be
revolution and English opinion as a
whole would be firmly set against
any such departure from constitu-
tional methods, especially while the
conditions of peace are still uncer-
tain. Officially the war is not over
until peace is signed.

Before the war several English firms
had timber mills near the city which
were run on the cooperative plan, the
company conducting stores where the
laborer obtained his food and renting
him his house. This served its pur-
pose until Bo,shevikism managed to
creep into the works when there was
strike, At present the timber mills
are closed. Great forest fires often
run riot in this section when hundreds
Of acres are burned The question of
commercial losses and the number Of
deaths from this cause rarely become
known. Whole villages pass away in
the night and the morning sun shines
down upon acres of desoation where
once man dwelt. Life is indeed cheap
in Russia in many ways.

vikism and under General Graves q

spacious and open for about nine
months in year. The Bolshevikt

at Vladiyostok we were successful all
thought the supplies there were threat
cned by the German prisoners who
had been released from Siberia on the
orders Of the Bolshevilll government
So, although we are not at war with
tu sia, yet The situation there is a
very delicate one and requires some
action to restore order and to protect
property.
The recapture Of Kadish gives the
American troops a good winter posi-
ton where they have built block
houses. Slcighs have been used to
transport soldiers as well as a battery
of heavy howizers which had to be
brought so miles on a rough icy trail
through the wilderness. The weather
just now Is terribly cold but our troops
are warmly clad and for more than a
month they have lived in ley dugouts.
They have also wrested the village OF
Gogod from the Bolshevlki. This vii
lage is about eighty miles from Omega,
which is close to Archangel, the IA
nous Russian port Of the Dvina river
near the White Sea- where our head
quarters are established.

the present war has been a busy place.
1t is the most important city near the
Arctic Circle. The fact that the har.
Dor Is ice bound for the greater part
os the year has been its greatest draw
back toward becoming a big CONNER
cial center. Before the war Archangel
held its annual fair in September
when about SI0OO,O0O worth Of goods
changed hands and some eight hun.
dred vessels visited the port from July
to September, the only period when
the harbor was free from ice.
Before the war Archangel had a
population of over $4,000 but has q
much larger one at present owing to
the number OF Allied soldiers. From
the river the skyline is like all Rus
sian cities, the great domos of the
churches dominating the landscape.
There is a fairly good hotel which was
much frequented by the German com
mercal traveller before the war; this
Is now occupied by the officers Of the
Allied troops. There are plenty Of
restaurants whore tea Is still served
and our boys are rapidly learning to
drink glass after glass of hot tea, for
tea in Russia is rarely ever served in
cups
Sacred Pictures
One of the features Of Archangel
is a number Of large sacred pictures
adorning the outside of many Of the
houses. Sanctuary lamps burn per-
petually in front Of them and the hur.

Eisner's Funeral Imposing.

Basle, Feb. 27.-Kurt Eisner's
funeral at Munich yesterday was
one OF the most imposing ever seen
in that city, thousands following
the casket to the eastern cemetery.
All labor organizations in the city
carried banners draped with crepe
and there were hundreds of wreaths
laid upon the grave, one being TAX
en- there by group of Russian pris-
oners OF war. Bands had places at
intervals in the cortege, and when
the hearse reached the cemetery all
the bells in the city tolled. Herr
Landeur, a member of the labor
council, delivered an oration.

Negotiations between allied and
German financial, economic and mil
itary missions have been in progress
for some tine, but there has been
no intimation from allied sources
that anything in the nature Of cri-
sis had developed there. In the abb
sence OF definite information it
would seem probable that the meet
ings, if they have been broken as
reported, have been suspended only
temporarily. On Feb. IA Marshal
Foch presented to the German ar
mistice commission at Treves the
provisions for an extension OF the
armistice between the allies and Ger
many. These provisions he re
ceived from the supreme council Of
the peace conference. They were
accepted by the Germans after be-
ing referred to the national assem-
bly, at Weimar, and were signed by
the German delegates on the eve
ming of Feb. 10.

VOTE IS NEEDED
FOR u. S. SAFETY
SAYS MRS. TROUT
Men and Women Must Stand
Together for New America,
Says Suffragist.

Because there has never before
been a time when American men and
women as a whole should stand to-
gether as now, we feel that every
effort should be used to push the state
ratiflcations of the federal suffrage
amendment" said Mrs. Grace Wilbur
Trout. at the chautauqua Thursday
afternoon.
Remember the passage of the fed
eral amendment has not given free
dom to even one woman, and will
not until the work is completed" said
she.
while we have many splendid for
eign born voters in this country
and of those we are justly proud-we
have at the same time some foreign
| voters, and an occasional native voter,
whom it would not harm to become
Americanized"
Question of Humanity
Mrs. Trout explained that she no
longer looked upon acknowledgment
of women as a woman's question, but
a human question of equal importance
to men and men.
Before the war;" she said, zone
out Of every four women in the Unit
ed States was earning her own money
Reports from the Department of Labor
say htat nearly 100000 women are
| employed. To put it very conserva-
lively, let us say that eight or ten
million women are working.
Now, if a woman can be paid lower
wages than man and can do the
same work, what is going to keep the
| employers from discharging men to
| employ women? This is not only an
| injustice to the women you see to get
| the low wage, but is constant men
ace to the laborer. The position of
men is in constant danger. What we
need is equal wage for equal work."
! Offset to Anarchy
| Woman can't have a home if her
husband can't get employment, and
the questions of industry and home
are in this way closely linked. They
are one and the same. 1t is our duty
to push together in settling the ques
tions which are confronting our ma
| ton.
ITO give the vote to women is to
offset the danger of the so called ig
norant and anarchistic vote. The
, race riots and strikes have made
people very thoughtful.
You see, however, that as we have
it in Illinois now, we can not vote for
the law makers. Illinois has opened
the door in the east, though, and Mrs
Gait told me that New York would
never have gotten her state bill in
1917 if Illinois had not preceded You
see, it aroused the loyalty of the men
of New York to their women.

LEAGUE YET Uniformed
(By Associated PressS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-President
Wilson has not the power to declare
peace by proclamation, nor could he
consent in any circumstances to such
course prior to the ratification of
formal treaty Of peace by the senate.
The president SO wrote Senator Fall
today in answer to one of the twenty
written questions the senator present
ed at the White house conference
Tuesday
Replying to another question, the
president said the provision Of the
treaty that it should come into force
after ratification by Germany and
three of the principal associated pow
ers operated merely to establish peace
between those ratifying powers and
that 1t was questionable whether 1t
can be said that the league of nations
is in any true sense created by the
association Of only three of the allied
and associated governments"
Hold Territory in Trust.
AS to the question Of when normal
conditions might be restored, the pres.
ident said he could only express the
confident opinion that immediate rat
1fication of the treaty and acceptance
OF the covenant of hte league as writ
ten would certainly within the near
future reduce the cost of living" both
in this country and abroad through
the restoration of production and COM
merce to normal
To Senator Falls question relating
to the disposition of Germany's pos
sessions. the president said the ar
| rangements in the treaty conveyed no
title to the allied or associated powers
but merely Gin trusts disposition of the
| treaty in question to their decision"
"Germany's remuneration in favor Of
! the principal allied and associated
powers" hte president continued, "of
her rights and titles to her overseas
possessions is meant similarly to oper-
ate as vesting In those powers a trus-
| teeship with respect of their final dis
position and government"
