DEVELOPMENTS IN GENERAL
 LOCKOUT IN BARCELONA

Barcelona, Saturday, Nov. 1.-The civil government met leaders of the Syndicalists late last night and told them under what conditions the em ployers would agree to suspend the proposed general lockout. The Syn dicalists refused to accept the condi- tions, the terms of which were not made public.
 With the exception of the banks, all places of business will close for twto hours next Monday to evidence their sympathy with the employers
 Today being a holiday all work men in the various factories were paid off last night, and left work without incident. Many striking ho- tel cooks. and walters decided yester- day to return to work, but their offer was refused by the proprietors. who have decided to join the employers in locking their men out. Some news papers have suspended publication, dismissing all employees who have join ed the Syndicalists.
 In q speech last night on the sub ject of the lock out, Francisco Cam bo, a leader of the autonomist par ty here. declared the present political situation was the result of a quarrel between the employers federation and the government. He asserted that the employers had declared the lockout through cowardice.
 Senor Cambo announced himself as against the lockout. He considered the workers had the right to form
 unions, but he could not approve of excesses. He proposed the creation ot an arbitration court composed of em- | ployers and workmen as a solution o,
 the difficulties. suggesting also tht | fixing of a maximum of hours for worl | and minimum gage limit

BOSTON POLICE STRIKE AN
 ISSUE IN BAY STATE ELECTION

Boston, Nov. 2-The police strike in Boston. made political issue. has aroused unusual interest in the state election to be held Tuesday. At con- vention time there was. cons derable discussion of a League of Nations but the subject rarely was mentioned on the stump. Richard H. Long. demo- cratic candidate for governor early ia a vigorous campaign, declared that if he were elected his position would be that the striking policemen should be reinstated.
 < Governor Coolidge, -5Ehn.- at-the2 time branded the striking policemen as de- Gerters and unworthy to be again en- trusted with the preservation of law and order has reiterated that if re- elected he will stand where he stood when the men quit their posts. The republicans have claimed that the is sue was national in that the police strike was the symptom of radicalisn that, unchecked would destroy all gov ernment. On this the theory republi- can speakers including Former Pres idrrt Taft, Senator Poindexter of Washington, Senator Lodge and Gov , ernors Allen of Kansas, Bartlett of New Hmpshire, Sproul of Pennsyl- vania and Mill'ken of Maine, have been brought to the state.
 Long was the democratic candidate d year ago and was defeated ny Coolidge. whose plurality in the state was 17,035.

Gov. HO|COInb r FavOrs The Budget System.
Believes It Is the Best Method to Determine Appropria- tons By the State and Ma ton.

hartford, Nov. 2.-Governor Marcus n. Holcomb urges the adoption by congress of federal budget system. III d statement prepared for the na tfonal budget committee, which is canvaSsing governors Of the forty eight states in the Union. on the bud get question, Gov. Holcomb says: T believe the budget system is the sen- sible, intelligent and economical meth state or tine nation.'
 Since the committee opened it's country wide campaign several months ago the house of representa- tives passed the Good budget bill. If the measure meets with favor in the senate, it will establish bureau of the budget in the office Of the presi- dent" and an independent auditing and accounting department. The senate has appointed select committee on the budget which will hold hearings when disposition has been made of the peace treaty.
 The bill passed by the house does not provide for what budget advocates believe in the most essential step to- ward incorporating a genuine bud- getary system in the federal govern ment. It does not concentrate power to consider tie presidential budget in a single committee of the house, there by limiting the power of committees that now have the right to initiate ap- propriation measures. It also fails to
 provide for the passage of 8 self-de-
 nying ordinance prohibiting individual ] members of the house from introduc- 1 ing appropriations measures. The house select committee recommended l that the house return to it's old GUS tom of having all appropriations origi
 nate wit1e the committee on appropria tions. Consideration of this recom-
 mendation has been put over to the next session.
 As a part of it's campaign to create l public sentiment in favor of a budge system, the national budget committee i recently started a drive to organize | 10000 fortnightly budget club:
 among the men and women of tn, country by the first of the year. Thes' clubs will serve as public forums fo the discussion of topIcs of national in
 terest. They are expected to impress i upon voters their personal responsi bility in the selection of public off cers; furnish voters with q more in
 innate knowledge of governmental af fairs, and in the end. bring about bet ter citizenship.

Mexico City. Nov. 2.-Discussing the forthcoming elections on Saturday with Mexico City newspapermen in Queretaro, President Carranza of Mex ico declared there was no reason to anticipate any other than peaceful voting throughout the republic.
 President Carranza reiterated em- phatically that he would not be a third term candidate. asserting that he preferred to turn the office over to man elected by popular vote and to retire to private life.
 The chief executive said that he deemed the bill recently introduced in the senate granting amnesty to all former enemies of the government who now are supporting it in good faith, to me unwise at the present time. He thought, however, that such leniency might be extended after the elections.
 In this connection President Carran- ga explained that at the present time persons who wish to return to the re- public have. n odifficulty in doing 50 if they can show a proper attitude.

 Protests against the seating of the labor delegate from each Of the four countries have been laid before the credentials committee claiming that the delegate in question was not chosen fai>ly and does not represent the labor majority of his country.

SAYS U. S. ENTERED WAR TO RESCUE ENGLAND

Berlin, Saturday, Nov. 1.-The fear that Great Britain would lose the war when the unrestricted submarine cam paign became menacing was the cause of Americas entry into the war, Lso1nt 4. es.. .ll z ;zrts asssslIi xon TaraeW is quoted as having declared on his re- turn from the United States in the spring of 1917. The quotation appears in a statement made by Prince Botho Ven Wedei former German ambassa- dor at Vienna. who saw Count Tar nowski on his return to Vienna after he had been sent to the United States early in 1917 as Austro- Hungarian ambassador but was not received by the Washington government and was sent home when relations with Aus t,ia were broken early in April of that year.
 Count Tarnowski told me upon his return to Vienna" said Prince Von Medel in his statement, that the Americans at first were inclined to smile at the unrestricted U-boat war fare. They generally ridiculed the German navy which hoped to conquer the British fleet by such methods As the number of vessels sunk increased. however, the mockerS grew silent and Americans generally became restless.
 Gradually the convection became firmer that the United States would be forced actively to enter the war in order to rescue England It was not the fact that the U-boat war was a success, but the fear that England would lose the war because of it, that prompted the American declaration of war;
 Prince Von Wedel adds his opinion that in view of Count Won Tarnowskfs s statements the mediation of the Unit ed States for peace would most prob ably have taken on o-English an ii German aspect

URGED TO SPURN MONEY
 OFFERED BY BROTHERS

New York, Nov. 2-Baptist church. es throughout the country were urged to spurn money offered by profteers, the meanest kind of thieves" in a statement issued here tonight by Rev. Dr. Samuel Zane Batten. secretary of Social Service Education for the American Baptist Publication Socie- ty.
 Every Baptist church chould know whether any of it's members are en- gagged in this nefarious business of profteering," said Dr. Batten. 'The church should refuse to touch the dir ty money of these people. No self-re- specting church would tolerate in it's fellowship person known to be guil- ty of highway robbery or horse stealing, and the sin of profteering is peaner, blacker and more sinful than either of these. The church must make the will of God very plain on this subject" st
