ENTIRELY new

ASKED BY LANE
Secretary of Interior Writes
President Urging Him to Act
FavorabIy Upon Report of
Public Group.

Washington Oct. 25.-Secretary of
the Interior Lane, who was chairman

new conference.
THE industrial conference never

died at its birth because questions
arose which 1t was not prepared to
meet.
This should not end the effort to
go at this business of adjusting diff
ferences by good sense instead of
force.
oh for a few days of real sanity
when, with composed nerves and calm
judgment and without bitterness of
feeling we could look at our problems
and meet them with our traditional
hopefulness and confidence.
'Recklessness is in our blood "a
great willingness to take risks that we
have no right to take. We will suffer
for this spasm of historical self-as-
sertiveness on all sides.
Il want to see a new conference of
leading minds that will think in prac-
tical terms, the real council of ma
tional defense against the kind of civ
il war which some seem to think an
other irrepressible conflict"

To Meet Problem, Officials Say, Men Who Now Are in Mines
Should Be Kept There-PIan of Having Soldiers Operate
the Mines Also Is Suggested ed-Presdents Appeal to the
Conference Proves Futile.

government will take whatever steps
are necessary to keep the country's
soft coal supply prevailed here today,
following the failure of President Will
sons appeal to halt the miners strike,
called for November l.
The president in his appeal to the
miners and operators made plain as
had Secretary of Labor Wilson that
the interests of the country would be
placed above those of either the
miners and operators who broke off
negotiations few hours after the
presidents appeal was read to them.
The plan of having soldiers run the
mines also has been suggested, but it
Is pointed out that few soldiers are
skilled miners. To meet the problem,
officials say, the men who are now
working the mines must be kept there.
The negotiations between miners and
operators which began last Tuesday
ended last night after Secretary VIII
son, having exhausted his own resour-
ces to conciliate the two sides called
upon President Wilson. who sent an
appeal from his sick bed.

1889; the minutes of the congregation
of Berlin in 1929, in Hildesheim in
1706, in Hanover in TIA, in Venice,
18th century, in Bordeaux, 17l6, refer
to societies for the poor Of Palestine.
A Christian traveller reports in TIA
that the Jews of Jerusalem live on
charity sent from abroad, and the Po-
fish Jews made regular collections at
the great fairs as early as the 18th
century for this purpose.
Modern times have the merit Of es-
tablishing concerted International ac-
tons in emergencies. The pogroms of
Poland and Ukraine have become the
classic soil of patriotic" outbursts
which imposed upon the Jews of the
world the duty of organized charity.
When in l64S the Cossacks under
Chmelnicki's leadership rebelled
against their Polish masters, the Jews
were butchered by the thousands, and
in 1865 the Poles in the war against
the Swedes revenged themselves on
the Jews, history's classic scapegoat.
The poor victims fled in all directions,
but no systematic efforts toward re-
lief were made Those who were fortu-
nate enough to escape found refuge

by Chaireddin Barbarossa, the Sui

The records of the Portuguese con-
gregations of Hamburg, beginning in
1850, are full of such items among
which one referring to Malta has a
special interest. Malta was then in the
possession Of the Knights of st. John,
and these pious warriors made it
business to hold up all ships sailing
under Turkish flags, or also those of
Venice, when they were at war with
this republic, and to hold the passen-
gers as prisoners until they were ran
somed by their coreligionists. The
seat Of these activities was in the Ital-
ian seaport towns of Venice and Leg

lists in Europe for the necessary funds.

had more rights in the dominion of the
Knights than the living, for they were
allowed permanent residence.
These actions were required in
every war. When the German army
captured the city of Ofen from the
Turks, 1856, and Belgrad, 1869, the
soldiers of the victorious army were
given the bonus of holding the Jews
whom they made prisoners as prizes.
Rabbi Leon Brieli of Mantua appeals
in 17OS to the congregation of Venice
to assist in liberating a Jewish con-
tractor for the French army who was
made prisoner by the Germans. Nat
urally these organizations had to be
permanent so as to act promrt'v wb~-

such a society, Pidyon Shebuyim, is
mentioned by Jacob Reischer of
Worms in his response, III "a, 17l9.
A regular organization for concert
ed relief existed since ancient times
for the benefit of the Jews in Palestine
still surviving as Halukah. A "mes-
senger of Zion is mentioned already
in the Talmud. The minutes of the
Hamburg contain re-
peated entries of money sent to Pales-
tine. Manasseh ben Israel speaks of

dency, for while he was not an anti
Semitic in the sense of Drumont and
Stoecker, he was the real popularizer
OF the term which means to present
the Jews as an inferior race, "une race
incomplete" as he puts it. In spite of
oil these prejudiced and preconceived
nations, the first book of Samuel, the
Book of Daniel, Josephus, and con-
temporaries of his whose works are
lost, disprove the charge. 1t is fact,
however, that the Jews, like all OPP
pressed peoples, during the long per-
iod Of their sufferings lost interest in
history, for people, Semitic or Aryan
alike, do not glory in unpleasant rec
elections.
To this fact is to be ascribed in the
first place the dearth of information
found in our our old sources on COM
munal organizations. In addition, the
refusal Of political rights and the fire.
quent expulsions interfered with a de-
velopment Of traditions which is the

tons among others specifically shell

sick.
These acts could, Of course, be per-
formed by individuals, but we have
clear evidence that there were organ
izations for collective action. The
sources mention two distinct institu-
lions, the "Kuppah" (box) for week
ly distribution Of help and for emer-
gency relief, and the "Tamhuy"
(plate) for distribution of food. For
the administration of these institu-
lions officers were appointed, and it
may be a relief for their successors in
our days to learn that as rule they
were not very popular. A critic of the
charity management of his own time
claims that jeremiah, predicting the
punishment Of IsraePs oppressors,
must surely have meant the superin-
tendents Of charity. Such an officer
was then, as he is today, often COM
PEELED to refuse relief on the ground
Of insufficient funds. So We hear Of
Benjamin, the ZadI!k, that poor
widow came to him, pleading for her
seven little orphans. Benjamin, the
overseer Of charities, declared that
the Kuppah was empty. The woman
answered in despair; then and my
seven orphans will hav to starve to
death. This was too much for Benja-
min, and he helped her from his own
pocket. No wonder that the office of
a superintendent of charities was not
very coveted. A Midrash tells us that
Elimelech was the superintendent Of
charities in his city, and when the
terrible famine struck the town, he
could not endure all the stories of woe
that were daily brought to him, and
therefore he emipratad IN Noah w.
