Probably the most serious event in the early history of the Trades Union movement in Great Britain was the passage of the Combination Laws in 1799. Prior to this date it was the policy of the different governments to pass laws making it illegal to con- bine in given trades and callings The reason for this was alleged to be that it was the province of parlia- ment to fix the conditions of industry and that, therefore, an interference bv com binations of workers was un- necessary. By the end of the eigh- teenth century, however, wage-fixing,
 in any wide sense, by local authorities under act of parliament, had long fallen into disuse, and, in some cases the Combination Laws were not en- forced There are instances where the government recognized trades union agitation and granted demands for legislation. What is humorously de- scribed as free contract" was in gen. eral operation during the last years of the century. In 1799, fearful of the contagion of the French Revolu- tion and of the rapid growth of un- ionism among the textile workers of Yorkshire and Lancashire. the gov ernment introduced a general Com bination Law the effect of which was to mak all trade unionism penalisa- ble as act of sedition against the state. As with Sir Joseph Word S measure of industrial conscription, this law was rushed on to the statute book without so much as giving those concerned an opportunity of making protest. Within twenty-four days after it's introduction into the House of Commons it had received the Royal assent. Only one union, the Calico printers Society in London, had the opportunity of petitioning against the stated that although the bill profess ed merely ''to prevent unlawful com bnations,"' it created "new crimes of so indefinite a nature that no one journeyman of workman will be safe in holding conversation on the sub ject of his trade or employment. No other unions took action, and the bill, unaltered, passed into law. In 1880 the act was reafiirmed. Subsequently lt was supplemented by strained in terpretations of the common law and Of ancient statutes, and in 1919 (fouf years after Waterloo had freed" Eu- rope from French militarism) by the infamous "Six Acts" which made all public meeting illegal, enabled mas sis- trates tc search for arms, compelled all working-class papers to pay Il crushing: stamp duty, and harshened the law of se1itio;s libel.

TOWORK SKIN GAME

BERLIN. March 25.--A few persons
claiming to be Americans remained
in Berlin during the entire war.
When the first Americans arrived
after the armlstice, mostly newspa-
per men and prisoner commissioners,
these claiming-to-be-Amerlcans flock
ed around.
Their stories usually begin with
narration OF how their hearts beat
for America. how they long to return.
and end with offerS to do anything
they can for you, and finally a re-
quest to take mail to America or send
a telegram
Investigation usually reveals that
these suddenly become Americans
have allowed their naturalization ar
Engagements to drop, and that they
have some Interior motive in getting
connections with America. Some Of
them have been working for the Ger
mans against America

lin, which are dIrtier and meaner

GERMAN SOLDIERS
GET Jobs QUICKLY

WITH THE ARMY OF OCCUPA-
/ TON. March 25.-An investigation OF
the industrial situation in the occu-
pied area by the intelligence depart
ment of the third army shows that
surprisingly little industrial dislo-
| cation" has resulted from the influx
rehabilitation Of the German armies
in this region.
Despite the importing of thousands
Of demobilized soldiers the number Of
unemployed in February was only
1885 in the whole area Of over 5000
square miles, with a population Of
over half a million. At that time
about SIS per cent of the soldiers from
the RhineIand had been demObilized
and returned to their homes. Al
though the exact figures upon the
number of returned soldiers are un-
available. they will run into tens Of
thousands.
The employment problem is handled
by bureaus in each town or village
which puts the returned soldier in
touch with openings for employment
Employers IN need of labor report to
these bureaus, where the offers are
submitted to applicants. In this way
thousands were put back TO work
with the loss OF little time.
During forced unemployment the
state pays every unemployed man
sum ranging from four marks to
eight marks per day, according to the
size OF his family. German authori-
ties complain that this 'unHmploy-
ment pay is too high and offers lit
tie incentive to seek labor, because
the common wage for day labor is
from FIVE to eight marks per day.
The new high unemployment pay
ment is one of the fruits of the revo-
luton. but the rule is being strictly
enforced in the Rhineland, in spite of
the complaints of employers.
Many places for returned soldiers
were provided by the immediate dis
charge Of women workers whenever
they had taken the jobs Of men. AL
though the pay for women was mUcn
lower, even where they were doing
the same work as men, the employers
were forced by the pressure Of public
sentiment and in some towns BY mu-
nicipal orders to discharge the
women.
Owing to the agricultural nature of
the area. the employment problem
presented less difficulties than III the
centralized Industrial centers A
large percentage Of the demObilized
soldiers sent back returned to their
farms and vineyards. About three
fourths of the total number Of un-
employed are in the four larger
towns of Coblsnz, Trier. Neuwied and
MOntabOur.

1878 RECORD YEAR
FOR OIL INDUSTRY

No single important industry in
the United States ever made such a
showing in a single year as did the
oil industry under spur OF war neces-
sity, according to Director Manning,
Bureau OF Mines.
In 1915 before America entered
the war. gasoline production was a
little short Of 5O,0OO,OOO barrels, he
reported. In 1917 when this nation
entered the war, gasoline production
Jumped to nearly 6S.000.0OO barrels.
Il was thought that this must be the
peak OF patriotic effort.
But in 1918, when the demand from
the front for oil became even greater,
gasoline production mounted TO So
00O. 900 barrels.
How this nation sent an ever in
creasing flow of gasoline to the al
lies and friendly countries Is shown
by export figures. For 1916 gasoline
exports were S,4T3,1O2 barrels; 1917
exports. 9,9O1,s77. and 1918 exports,
lS,312.50s.

The Total Debt.

Deducting loans TO the allies Mr..
Hull put the net total debt OF this
country at $4,000, 900, 900. He said

Confronted as this country il by an
enormous war debt, il can neverthe-
less meet and pay of it's obligations
far in advance of other nations. This
is the conclusion arrived at by Con-
gresham Cordell Hull OF Tennessee,
! member OF the House Ways and
! Means Committee. and widely known
as an expert on income tax and reve-
nue. matters. in a speech printed in
the latest issue OF the Congressional
Record.
Mr.. Hull said il was a relief to con-
template this nations financial and
economic situation after dwelling on
the dark picture presented by the
other belligerent countries.
Our population" said Mr. Hull. IS
more than 100000. 900 and our wealth
more than $3.50, 900. OOO, 900, while our
annual savings must be more than
81 600. 0OO,O The nation can with
out difficulty meet and pay of its Ch-
legations far in advance of other IA
tiOns The nation can and should
maintain and strengthen its unparal-
leled position Of world supremacy Ia
dustriaIly, financially and CONNER
ciRlly."
Mr.. Hull said the interest bill on
the debts of the nations in the wa
would be over $4,000, O0O, 900 per year.
This contrasts with an interest bill
o fthe same nations prior to the war
OF 81, 600, 600. 600.
The Cost of War.
The cost of the war in money or
it's equivalent is now estimated al a
little over 100000, 200, OOO," Mr.. Hull
added The cost for the first FIVE
months OF the war in 1914 was &lO,-
