another conference of operators and
miners be called.
Mr.. Palmer opposed further con-
ferences, saying wage increases pro-
posed to DIR. Garfield equalized the
average miners wages with the pres
ent high cost of living without IN
creasing the price of coal. This, ne
said, was fair to the miners and pro-
tected the public.
''The cost of living is now at the
high point" Mr.. Palmer said. TO
grant the demands of the miners
would make the cost of living still
higher. The new wage conference
would run three winters. and there
fore, would maintain higher cost
of living for substantially three
years. Sich a situation cannot be
tolerated.
I'm addition to this, DR.. Garfield
suggested a consultative body to in

Berlin Will Aid
Peoples Kitchens

Berlin, Dec. 2.-Though Germa
complain bitterly of the never-end-
ing strikes and unwillingness to
work, the Berlin city government
is aiding striking metal workers in
the Berlin suburbs who refuse to
resume work, although suffering
from lack of money and food.
The majorities have forced
through the Common Council a pro
vision whereby the community will
advance $4,000 marks to buy food
for the peoples kitchens.
The vote Is novelty in municipal
history and the bourgeois are pro
testing that they will attempt to
repeal the ruling. They maintain
that the huge sums paid to the
workless are sometimes more than
they could earn at their trade so
they prefer to remain idle.

Rule Of the League OF Nations.

Senator SHERMAN Of Illinois thinks
the Vatican could rule the United
States through ruling the League Of
Nations Somebody else might think
the Hottentots could rule the United
States through the League Of Nations.
The one wouldn't be much more fool
ish than the other. Neither would
get at the real point
! This real point is that, whoever did
or did not rule the League of Nations,
the United States, with only one vote
out of many In the league. couldn't
rule itself.
Maybe the Vatican wants to rule
the United States; we don't know.
Maybe the Hottentots want to rule
the United States; we don't know.
But we do know that the American
people want to rule the United States
and don't want to rule anybody or
anything else.
We do know that once the United
States got itself into the league trap
1t no longer could rule itself either
in the sense Of supreme sovereignty
or in the sense of minding its own
business.
And when the United States cannot
rule itself because 1t must be governed
by the DEGREES Of a League Of Nations
in which the United States has only
one vote among many votes It will
make precious little difference who
else does rule the United Satee
i When the United States surrenders
its Monroe Doctrine, transfers its SOW
ereignty and sponges out Its nation
alism, becoming creature of the by
brid League Of Nations. 1t might Just
