TALK OF TERRITORIES
Socialists Have Up Questions Which
Huns Ask

Berne, Feb. 9.-Territorial questions
were to the fore at both sessions of the
International Socialist conference to-
day, the subject of Alsace-Lorraine
being the chief one considered. Some
time also was spent debating a reso-
luton favoring the release by the all
lies of the German prisoners of war.
During the latter discussion there was
a sharp exchange between Oscar Wells,
a German majority Socialist, and Kurt
Eisner. the Bavarian premier, the lat
ter accusing the German authorities
of ill-treating French prisoners. Herr
Eisner was warmly supported In this
charge by one of the French delegates,
Pierre Renaudel
A proposal was made by the Rus
sian delegates that commission of
the conference representing all shades
of Socialism should be sent to inquire
into the political and economic situa-
ton in Russia. The conference will
pass upon this question later.

The Final Test Today.

PRODUCTION LESS
Meat Prices Increase Because
of Action of Stockmen.
Raised Less Because Thought
They Were Being Robbed.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Meat prices
have increased steadily during the last
fifteen years because livestock men,
believing they were being robbed by
the five leading meat packers. in col
fusion with the railroads, kept down
production, the house Interstate COM
merce committee was told today by
Louis D. Hall, of the department of
agriculture's bureau of markets. Mr.
Hall said until 1900 the production of
livestock increased steadily with the
population, but that thereafter it re-
manned the same from year to year.
The same amount of livestock is being
produced now for ITO, 100000 people,
he said, that was produced in 1900
for 100000, with the result that
the demand is much greater than the
supply and prices have increased.
THE producers believed the pack
ers had combined to keep down the
prices for livestock, and began raising
grain" he continued.
Have No Confidence in Markets.
"They had no confidence in the
livestock markets. Knowing that the
packers owned the stock yards, they
believed arrangements had been made
to eliminate competition and that
prices were not determined by cost of
production.
1.-The wide fluctuations from day to
day in prices caused the producers to
be even more dissatisfied. Uneven
shipments to the markets, which re-
suited in alternating periods of over
supply and under-supply were due, the
producers believed, to collision be-
tween the packers and the railroads
A lack of reliable market information
was another reason for the producers
! considering it inadvisable to make in
creases in production. The industry
! became too much of a gamble" Hall
advocated extended supervision of all
branches of the meat industry, dis
tribution of reliable information re-
garding markets to producers and a
greater cooperation between the live
stock interests and the government
and distribution agencies.

The miners of southern Kansas

thousand miners of Crawford county

and sent it to J. w. Montee, senator
from that district. The resolution
states emphatically that the miners
will quit work upon the passage of

ny that war of aggression may
achieve useful end, but the basis
upon which the league rests is that
such advantages are outwelghed by
the suffering in modern war and the
possibility that small war may lead
to general war and an enormous
damage to civilization. The effort in
the formulation of the present treaty
is to make just boundaries and the
effect Of article X woll doubtless be
TO maintain those boundaries, in 50
far as TO prevent foreign aggression
from affecting them.
Ireland Not Affected
The suggestion that article X was
Intended to bring to the aid of Great
Britain the power Of the United States
to suppress a revolution in Ireland is
Of course wholly unfounded because
revolution in ireland would not be
on attack upon the territorial integri-
ty or political independence of Great
Britain by external aggression.

great steps forward provided in the
