from those to be presented by Samuel
Gompers and the statesmen of the
British labor forces to the more ex-
citable and extreme views OF che
French syndicalists.
But, as FAR as The Trade Union Con-
gress is concerned, it is safe pre-
diction that it will be found to be a
great, constructive gathering, anxious
and able to build for the constructive
welfare Of the world in such way
that peace may be made secure and a
better life be made possible for the
useful people of all countries.
Barnes Has Programme
An indication of the range of posi-
bilites is found in the programme
submitted by George Barnes, a mem
Der of the British War Cabinet and a
veteran trade unionist He offers
these proposals.:
A boycott organization in all
countries.
Minimum standards of hours of
work and wages in all countries, but
not necessarily the same standards
in all.
A system of insurance that guar
antees wages for industrial workers
during holidays
Standard civil service reforms.
Provision for such matters as the
care Of women prior to childbirth.
Child labor provisions
Provisions for ventilation and
proper factory inspection.
"In word" said Barnes, eve de-
sire to adopt the principle laid down
by Samuel Gompers, that labor shall
no longer be treated as commodity
but shall be the first charge of pro-
duction, before rent, interest on capi
tai or profits"
Barnes is emphatic in his demand
Tor something new in the way Of an
organization that will secure the
rights of labor.
"Wc had international industrial
congresses and commissions in the
past, but beyond passing pious resolu-
tons these have done nothing" he
said. "What we want to see is some
kind of international machinery that
will be set up to enforce a decent
standard of life. Not, of course. bv
any coercive measures, but by methods
compelling manufacturers in all coun-
tries to line up in our endeavor to
achieve this higher international stand
ard of life. I know we shall have the
support Of the representatives Of the
overseas dominions of Great Britain
The labor congress at Lausanne will
have the advantage Of points of CON
tact formed by labor men in the Off
cial peace congress at Paris"

through the labor congress, labor will

who have to go back home and face

There is also reason to believe that
there is great desire on the part OF
the governments to have the Lausanne

the strength it lends toward the build

ut appears to the Allies and our

a large part of the difficulties of the

Germans should be called upon to pro

Because he wanted to prove he was an honest nan to a. stranger. whom he met at East Main street and Bar mum avenue yesterday morning. Gun ner Stromberg of lO14 East Main street, lost $145. all the money he had, when he gave to the man to prove his honesty.
 stromberg complained to the police that his money was gone, as was his new friend, and man who accom- panied the confidence man. Strom- berg told the police he was standing on Barnum avenue near East Main street at 9:30 yesterday morning when he was engaged in conversation by a well dressed man, apparently a Spaniard, who told him he had just received a, legacy of $10,000 from the death of a brother who had been kill ed in railroad accident. The stranger said he wished to find an honest man to hold the money for a few days, and later get it changed into Spanish currency.
 The victim of the confidence game at once volunteered to hold the money. The man who was with the LGllOW WHO I1ttu been uOlIIS LI-E It1LFN- ing then asked Stromberg how he was going to prove he was an honest man, and suggested that he give some of his money to the other man to hold as security for the $l0,000.
 Stromberg, accompanied by the two went to the Bridgeport Trust Co. and drew out S145. all the money he had on deposit, and handed it to the man who supposedly tied ic into a hand .---ahief with $500 of his own money. Then he handed the handkerchief --ack to Stronberg.
 Then one of the confidence men complained of a headache, and asked Stromberg to go across the street to a drug store to get some headache powders for him. Stromberg went to the store as requested. and returned to find his two friends" gone.
 Becoming suspicious he united the handkerchief to discover that what he thought was money in the handlzer- chief was nothing but Q knot. Strom- berg is the third victim of the clever pair in th:s city within the last two weeks

 From Viewing Scenery.

New York, March 15-Another mystery developed yesterday at ths opening of the retrial of Mrs. Betty Inch, charged with attempting to ex- tort $215 from Eugene P.

It was discovered that the vt ness stand in the criminal branch of the Supreme Court, from which she treated jurors in her first trial to 0 D generous display of shapely, silk clad ankles, had been fenced in over night so that only the head and shoulders of witness are visible from the jury box
 ThrouShout the day reporters vain ly tried to learn who had ordered the stand converted into pen, but no one seemed proud enough of the idea to claim its authorship. Justice Da- wis, presiding at the retrial, smilingly denied that he had ordered the work done, and Chief Assistant District Attorney Talley, who is prosecuting Mrs. Inch, also entered a denial with out a smile

IN RUSSIA IS
BEING OPPOSED
Lloyd George Says America
Would Not Aid British
and French

London, Feb. 13.-Premier Lloyd
George again speaking on the gen.
eral peace situation said he was op-
posed to Intervention in Russia be-
cause the work would fall upon the
British and the French. America,
he said, would send neither men,
money nor material.
He was unable to disclose the fig
ures that Intervention would in
volve, but after seeing them.. no
sane man, he declared. would ad-
wise the allies. after five years OF
war, to undertake the enterprise.
The premier declared that there
had never been any proposal ad-
vanced at the Peace Conference to
recognize the Bolshevists. He ad-
mitted that the horrors of Bolshe-
vism were so great that there was
a sense of disgust when they came
to deal with the leaders, but was
useless to blind their eyes to the real
facts. Russia represented in area
over half of Europe, and nearly half
of Asia and, he pointed out, If peace
were not made, the whole of this
immense territory would be seething
in anarchy, disorder and bloodshed
there would be no peace in the
world.
