can feel all over the country. And
since Belgium is manufacturing
country and its industries are its life,
1t is actually a question of life and
death for her TO reestablish them on
their pre-war footing.
"As in France. there is universal
discomfort with the peace conditions.
Every one feels that Belgium will never
be fully indemnified for all she has
lost. Al the same time the cost of

especially cheap and plentiful. Those
who suffer the most are not the lower
classes, but professional men such as
teachers, musicians, lawyers, writer's,
who cannot increase their fees without
losing pupils or work. The petits
renters, people in receipt of small in

farmers in Belgium, just as in the

When asked how much money was

TO ASK HIGHER RAIL TARIFFS
Hines Agrees to Furnish information
for Plea for Increase.

Hines Agrees to Furnish information
for Plea for Increase.
Washington, Oct. 24.-Increases in
rail transportation rates to offset the
iincrease in operating expenses, during
federal control will be sought imme-
diately from the Interstate Commerce
commission by the railroad corpora
lions.
This decision was reached at a con.
Terence between Director General
Hines and representatives of the asso-
: citation of Railway Executives. Direc-
tor General Hines made it clear that
the government has no intention of
initiating advances but is willing to
put all it's information and the serv-
ices of its experts at the disposal of
the railroad corporations. The offer
twas accepted.
There was no Indicating how much
OF an advance the railroad men
thought necessary. The last two
months have seen business picking up
to such an extent that the deficit is
being cut down.

MENACES ARE SERIOUS
Congress May Act In Proposed
Coal Strike.
Solons Likely To Take Hand if Con.
ference to Prevent WaIkout
Does Not Agree.

Washington, Oct. 21.-When the
scale committees Of both the mine op.
orators and the mine workers meet
with William B. Wilson, secretary of
labor to discuss the threatened strike
in the bituminous coal fields, more
tina the issue of the strike will be at
stake, it is clear to Washington. The
question involves all of the issues be-
fore the Industrial conference and all
of the newer remedies put forward by
the railroad bro%therhoods in the pro.
jected naturalization of railroads.
While the coal strike is pending, the
railroad men are understood to be
planning a last final demand upon the
Director General of the Railroad ad-
ministration before the roads are re-
turned to private ownership, with a
threat of a strike in December with
the urging of the Plumb plan" of
railroad control in the background.
The first sufferers from the coal
strike would be the factories and a
general shut down of the mines would
Undoubtedly tie up a great many
manufacturing industries, reducing
production and increasing the already
abnormally high cost of living. 1t
would also, it is anticipated, have the
effect of putting many members of
union labor out of employment and the
railroads of the country would soon be
compelled to suspend operation in part
and a long continuance of the strike
would tie up the transportation sys-
TENS all together.
These serious menaces to the strike
situation are not being overlooked and
congressional action is being looked
forward to as the logical result Of a
failure of the miners and operators to
get together.

House of Commons Turns Down
His Alien Bill by II Votes
Majority.
CHANGE IS POSSIBLE
Defeat Of Government by solons May
Not Result in Resignation Of
Ministry but Is Con-
sidered.

London, Oct. 24.-The country is
suddenly faced by the possibility of a
change of government, or dissolution
of parliament, owing to the quite I'M
expected defeat of the government in
the house of commons by a majority
OF ". Only about half the members
were present, and the vote by which
the government was defeated was 1855
to 113.
The alien bill, the earlier stages of
which were disposed of during the
summer session, was in the report
stage. The committee had previously
inserted an amendment Withholding
pllotage certificates from all aliens,
and the government sought by amend
-ment to modify this restriction in
favor mainly of a number of French
pilots, for whom provision had been
made in the existing pilotage act. This
amendment, however, was defeated,
although in charge Of government
ships.
The announcement of the figures
was greeted with loud cheers from the
opposite quarters and caused much ex.
cltement. Andrew Bonar Law imme-
,dlately moved adjournment of the
mouse to enable the government to
consider what course it should adopt.
He admitted that the defeat of an
amendment with government whips
was a serious matter requiring con-
blderatlon, but declined to admit that
1t necessarily implied the resignation
OF the ministry. This, he declared,
would depend upon the view of the
house Of commons as a whole.
