Labor Rioters Killed
In British West Indies
Naval Force Landed to Restore

LONDON. Dec. 13.--Labor disturb
ances in the British Islands of Trinidad
and Tobago, leading to rioting during
which men were landed from the
British warship Calcutta. and result
ing in several casualties, are reported
in official dispatches to the Colonial
Office here. Special dispatches picture
the trouble in Trinidad as rising of
the negroes there, in which the govern
ment buildings at Port Of Spain were
stormed and held for three days.
1t appears the trouble originated in
Tobago, twenty-five miles northeast of
Trinidad. Seamen from the Calcutta
were landed there. The police fired
upon the rioters, killing the ringleader.
At the same time strike of steve
dores in Trinidad occurred and rioting
ensued in which one man was killed.
Returned soldiers were implicated in
the disturbances, it is stated, which
were due to labor unrest
Io-day's advices announce that Port
OF Spain is quiet, but that the country
districts are still disturbed.

turbances referred to in the foregoing

Urges REIMBURSEMENT of Re-
lations Between Capital
and Labor on Bargaining
and 'Profit-Sharing Basis
Era of Prosperity Near
'sReds' Cries Will Be Flu.
tile, He Says; Calls Work
Worlds Greatest Need

Deprecating the widespread fear of
Bolshevism in the United States as
groundless, and urging readjustment
Of relations between capital and labor
on the basis of collective bargaining
and profit sharing, Charles M. Schwab,
chairman of the board Of directors of
the Bethlehem Steel Company, pre-
dicted an era Of great prosperity for
the United States and the world in an
address at the annual dinner of the
Pennsylvania Society at the Waldorf
Astoria last night.
"The more the Bolsheviki talk and
threaten destruction" said Mr. Schwab.
"the more will our people see through
all the sophistry preached to them and
stand adamant for America continuing
to be land of law, of order and of OBJ
portunity." The greatest need of the
world at present is work, said Mr.
Schwab.
Tribute to Pennsylvania
Mr.. Schwab paid tribute to the con-
tribution made by the State of Penn
LET me cay that l speak as an op-
timist.
While the United States produced
only 100000 tons of steel in 1880, it
produced in each Of the years 1917 and
1918 approximately 45,000,0OO tons.
When the United States Steel Corpora
ton was formed, eighteen years ago,
the annual steel production of the
country was only 100000 tons, and
many believed we were then at the
zenith Of the steel business.
My own belief is that we are Just
as far from the zenith to-day as we
were in 1901. There are breakers
ahead; there are rapids through which
we must pass, but | am one of those
who believe in the future progress of
the world, of the United States and Of
Pennsylvania. and that we are soon to
have one of the greatest eras of pros
perity in all history.
"A good many people these days are
seeing red Some talk as though the
whole world is threatened with over
turn by Bolshevism. T am not one of
those who talk or think that way. And
particularly here in America. | have
the greatest confidence in the sound
and level-headed common sense of the
American worflngman and of the
American people. The more the Boil
shevsts talk and threaten destruction
the more win our people see through
all the sophistry preached to them,

Firm Faith Expressed in America
"And so, believing in America, with
complete faith in the future, the bust
ness with which | am associated is go

France Lacks Man Power
The speaker said that France was so
short Of man power, that there is talk
Of importing 100000 Italians to carry
on the work left uncompleted by the
war and to take the place Of women
and children on the farms. This was
one part Of the picture of the world
which must be remade, he said. Bel
GUM, he declared, had suffered more
through the deportations of her people
and their enslavement than in actual
life and property destruction.
"The destruction you see in Belgium"
the speaker explained, ais as nothing
compared to the destruction Of the
peoples minds. AS slaves, they have
been worse mutilated in soul than the
worst wounded soldiers. And now they
have been returned, completely broker
in spirit by the knowledge that they
aided the enemy rather than their own
