The mine workers under national

Similarly in the transportation in

There would be two distinct and

forms of representation-econo and
political-and in case of clash of au-

the two organizations, no serious

perior authority would be needed.
Such a society might well maintain
the present King Of England as ar
bitter: II could function about as II
now is functioning. excepting II would
be a Soviet government instead OF a
political democracy.
And the Soviet government wherein
one job would have one vote is tho

leadership.
1t is much higher in intelligence
and unselfishness than the radical
leadership in America. The labor
leadership in England is the keenest
in the world. So the labor movement
in England is leading the world.
A considerable per cent of the labor
leadership in England is what we
know as the highbrow.

In America. labor will not stand
for highbrow leadership. rer-
haps this is because American labor,
compared with the worlds labor is
tremendously highbrow itself. No
other labor unit on earth is as well

visioned as ours. A beer famine
might fool some labor in the East
ern seaboard States into losing sight
of the main chance. but it would get
nowhere with American labor more
or less recruited from the Atlantic
seaboard.
But the British labor leadership
signs wearily at the fool depression
of labor to the beer wagon. and the
British leadership goes right aheaa
with the main business in hand: the
new heaven and the new earth.
And these leaders expect to get
their aims by revolution. Not that

aminer for the miners, who gets the
applause and the headlines in the
papers. No one doubts that the coal
mines will be taken from private
ownership, and if they are taken
from private ownership they are to
be turned over-according to the
present plans-to a committee COM
posed half of actual miners elected
by the miners themselves and half
members of the government.
Now this bill, if it is passed reas-
onably soon, will be passed by a
coalition governments government
composed of Tories, Liberals. Social
lists and labor leaders. But no one eN-
poets this coalition government to
stand. This government Is sure to
fall, and a full-fledged labor gov
ernment is expected: it is expected
even in Buckingham Palace. where
the King is ready to greet a labor
premier-probably no one worse
than Lloyd George. who is said by
everyone to- be getting ready to join
the Labor crowd and go in for the
whole Labor program as the only
way of continuing his power.
Now, If the miner from the pit gets
one-half Of the control by law in n
coalition government, he will get a
representation on the government
board also, and ther~"-' have a ma

ment. But once let labor govern

dominate the whole board. And that
industry will be permanently-not ma

And there will be no bloodshed, no
Red or White terror. The British
constitution will be respected. The
King will keep his head on his two
shoulders. And at o'clock everyone

Another concrete example: The
government is preparing to intro

bill will provide for the govern

which now are, largely as they are
in the United States, matters of
local concern: but with the road
ways will come also railways. The
entering wedge of the bill for the
nationalizing of the railroads and
roadways entered early in June of
this year. when the government
asked Parliament to vote money to,
buy the freight cars owned by pri-

PARIS, April 25.-The American

conference held a meeting to protest
against the arrangements being mace
to exclude the press from all the ne
gotiations with the Germans except
at the fnal session. when the treaty
is expected to be actually signed. 1t
is believed that this exclusion is un-
necessary and the American delegates
are said to favor full publicity.
The correspondents were Informed
that no journalists would be allowef
to meet or confer with the enemy
delegates.
The correspondents themselves were
divided In their opinion concerning
this prohibition. The majority point
ed out that British ana American
correspondents already in Germany
were daily interviewing German lead
ers and faithfully rejecting German
opinion and hence there would be no
point in preventing statements OF the
derman views on the ground instead
Of waiting for the news to come
through Germany and neutral coun-
tries.
The minority felt that Germany's

no faithful allied citisen could desire
to meet the German delegates until
