REVIEWS LABOR QUESTION


London, Jan. 2S.-~Alex. Thompson
editor of the socialist labor newspape
Clarion, in reviewing present indus
trial unrest for the Mail writes.
The new labor minister. Sir Rob
ert Stevenson Horne, whose sincere
sympathy with labOr's desire for i'm
proved conditions of life, has very fa-
VoraDly impressed leaders of the
trades unions, cOnfesses his utter
hclplessness in dealing with the grave
problems assailing him on his en-
trance TO office. None of the present
strikes has been authorized by the ex-
ecutiVes of the unions involved and all
are contrary to official advice. There
fore, 1T is obviously impossible for Sir
Robert to interfere. It is his policy,
as labor minister, to support trades
union executives, as any other action
would only weaken their authority
and strengthen the hands Of those who
have disObeyed instructions"

WILSON HAS GENERAL
SCHEME FOR COLONIES
Paris Paper Says He Would
Put Them Under
League Control.

London, Jan 2S.-In referring to
discussions Of the future status Of
Germany's colonies by the peace con-
Ecrcss the Paris correspondent Of the
Mail writes:
president Wilson appears to have
put forward a general scheme which
may be termed the internationaliza-
ton Of Germany's late possessions.
This plan is not exactly defined. but
N principle it would make it man
datory for the various powers to ad-
minister the colonies subject to the
control of the League of Nations.
''B1'itish delegates do not object to
such procedure respecting the col
onies in Africa, although other na-
tuguese, do not acquiesCe, and the
Union of South Africa definitely
claims German Southwest Africa.
AS regards .the Pacific, Australia,
claims New Guinea and the Bismarck
archipelago; New Zealand claims
Samoa, and Japan desires the Mar
shalls and Carolines. Japan also
suggests an equatorial delimitation
between British and japanese inf1u-
ence in the Pacific"
lnc correspondent F8fefS 10 the
Anglo Japanese secret treaty Of
1915 which assigned the Marshals
and Carolines to Japan. and adds:
such possession would be very dis
tasteful to the United States and
American political opinion is that if
President Wilson agrees to this move
his power will be seriously impaired
Tt is suggested that from this comes
his earnest demand for the internal
eionalization of all Pacific colonies. 1t
is quite clear, however, that the whole
voice of the British empire at the
peace congress supports the claims Of
Australia, New Zealand and the Union
of South Africa and also agrees to the
retention by Japan of the Marsha1ls
and Carolines, with equatorial delim-
itation of influence.
1T was the current opinion tonight
that President Wilson would see the
justice of Great Britain's claims. He
terest in New Guinea, and this was
quickly forthcoming in a telegram re-
cording resolutions by large number
of public bodies in Australia opposing
any other solution of the colonial
problems. Australia declares she has
lost more men in the war than the
United States and has had no recon-
pense in the shape of war contracts,
and that the non possession of the
whole Of New Guinea would arouse
great bitterness"

PRAI5ES ENohlNu AND
HIS Fighting MACHINE
Senator Wadsworth, Back
From France, Says Sup
plies were Inadequate.

Washington Jan. 2S. - Senator
WadsWorth, of New York, who recent -
ly returned from a trip to France,
spoke in the senate today in high
praise of General Pershing and the
American lighting machine and in
criticism of deficiencies in supplies
and equipment provided for them.
He had come to France to lick the
Germans" the senator said of the
American soldier. He suspected
there were some people who doubted
his ability to do so. He was deter
mined to show them that he could,
and he did
Senator Wadsworth said possibly
some Of the equipment and supply
shortages were unavoidable, but
others unquestionably were due to in
efficiency and confusion in the War
department during the early stages Of
the war.
Referring to the supplying of ord
nance, airplanes and tanks by the AL
lies, he added;
mo American built tanks reached
the battle front The French sup
piled us with what tanks they could
spare. With the exception Of two or
three divisions at the very end of the
war, all the machine guns, light and
heavy, were obtained from tho
French.
"One cannot exaggerate the embar-
rassm ents and difficulties to which
these shortages gave rise. Nor do T
believe that the supplying OF all this
equipment did not strain the resources
Of the Allies"
A permanent military policy for
Am erica, Senator Wadsworth said
should not be formulated until Gen
eral Pershing and others prominent
in building up the expeditionary force
could return.
II am glad that General Pershing
and his people had a free hand in
France" he continued. 81 am glad
that they were many, many miles
away from Washington and compare
lively free from it's prejudtces, ieal-
ousies and out-of-date traditions"

Smaller Powers at First Theate1
Conflict But Atmosphere Clears
ACTION PROCEEDS SMOOTHLY
Definite Agreements at an Early Date
Nrc Expected by DcIcgates-Cclo-
at Length

farlS, Jan. 2S.--Whcn the supreme
council of the peace conference as
Sempled at II o'clock today there
were present, in addition to the full
mem bership of the body, Premier
Hughes OF Australia, one of the Chi
neso representatives and several tech
meal advisors on colonial matters.
Clouds Roll Away.
The council had on it's program
for today two sessions of which this
was the first. Before it met what had
threatened to be q conflict over the
representation of some Of the smaller
powers on some OF the important COM
mittees had been entirely cleared
away by the action OF the spokesm en-
Of the small nations hemSelNes, and
the peace negotiations in general are
continuing to move forward with n
degree of progress which the members
of the council regard as indicating
definite agreements at reasonably
early date.
Various Claims Presented.
Premier Hughes representing Au-
StraLlia. claims German New Guinea,
for the Australian commonwealth
while New Zealand claims Samoa
Japan desires the Marshall and Caro-
secret treaty between England and
Japan giving Japan the islands north
of the equator and the British the
colonies south of the equator stands
in the way Of the Observation-Disclosures
plan; but it is generally believed that
all secret treaties will give way be-
fore the league of nations. The i'm
preston seems to be that the DISPOSE
ton of the German colonies will be
finally arranged by the five great
powers without reference to the peace
conference at a plenary session or to
the various commissions.
Pacific Islands Considered.
The Pacific island phase of the col
onal claims now before the council
is particularly interesting to the
American representatives because of
the American interests in the Pacific
notably through American possession
Of Hawaii and the Philippines. There
has been no ofticlaE announcement OF
what Japan proposes the powers
should give her for her part in the
war, but there have been reports
here that Japan was willing to turn
Kiao-Chow back to China but wished
to retain the German rights to the
development of the Hinterland.
There has been no indication of how
far she would press her claims to the
Pacific islands.

present to have been a bona fida.

day in Skritulskys hall on Broad
street and was attended by several
hundred people, practically all
foreigners of the working classes, the
Herald was informed today.
Although complete details of the
meeting have not been made public,
ii is said that some of the speakers
made fiery speeches in which the
government Of the United States
came in for some rabid criticism. It
is likewise said that the speakers
took occasion to make some caustic
remarks about manufacturers in
general, and local manufacturers in
particular.
1t is said that there are several
hundred avowed Bolshevists in this
city.

Strikers Keep City in Darkness.
The city of Belfast by night is in
virtually total darkness, the hospitals
belng the only places where lights
can be shown without danger of at
tacks by strikers. Everywhere else
the display of light has caused
either the stoning or the storming of
the premises. In cases where such
drastic action was not taken the peo-
pie were forced by threats to screen
their, lights.
Picketing Becomes Extensive.
Fortunately last night was snowy
and wet by turns: otherwise, it is
considered, there might have been
more trouble. This morning men in
the various smaller industrial plants
who had remained at work came out
for safety's sake, the picketing having
become more extensive. One Of the
morning newspapers was forced to
suspend publication. The shipyard
workers are opposed to the strike and
are endeavoring to arrange a meeting
for Wednesday,
Thousands Join Strikers.
There is no change in the situation
on the Clyde where 10000 shpyard
workers are out, nor in London where
$4,000 ship repairers are striking and

question of wages to a committee
TO these must be added 24,000

1000 Manchester lockers, 1000

Demanding Shorter Hours.
Except in London, where the aues-
ton is one of wages, all these strikes
are due to a, demand for shorter
hours, with the same privileges and |
wages as prevailed when longer |
hours were worked.
