Unqualified endorsement is given
the peace treaty and league of ma
tions covenant by the executive COM
mittee of the American Federation OF
Labor in it's report submitted to the
annual federation convention open
ing here today.
The basic principles of lasting
peace are in the treaty, the report
says, and adds that with peace SC
built, 1.-The world has in truth been
made safe for democracy.
The covenant of the league of ma
tions, the report continues, must
meet with the unqualified approval
and support of the American work
ing people. 1t is not a perfect docu-
ment and perfection is not claimed
for it. 1t does, however mark the
nearest approach to perfection that
has ever been reported in interna-
tional affairs of mankind.
I'VE declare our endorsement of
the triumphs of freedom and jus
tice and democracy as eXemplified in
the covenant of the league of ma
tions."
Discussing the peace treaty as a
whole, the report states:
THE Introduction of nine specific
labor clauses in the peace treaty de-
clares that the well being, physical
and moral of the industrial wage
carners is of supreme international
Importance
mo such declaration has ever
been written into international law
through any previous treaty of peace
and it is due to the efforts of Amer
lean labor more than to any other
single factor that it appears in this
emphatic form in the present treaty
The report reviews the Pan-Amer-
lean labor conference held at Laredo
Texas, in November.
A long reconstruction program
called the ''most complete and most
constructive yet made in this coun-
try is set forth in the report
The measures making up the pro-
gram are:

RAIL SHIPPERS
| GIVEN Week TO
FILE COAL BRIEF
Charges Of Inequality Made BY Ohio
River Coal Men Heard ut Cincln.
natl BY Committee.

Railroads yesterday were given one
week to file brief in answer to the
charges Of river coal interests that
there is inequality in the freight rates
on coal shipped through the Cincin-
natl gateway
The coal men had an all-day hear
Ing before the Central Coal and Coke
Committee Of Pittsburg, representing
the United States Railroad Admins
tration, at Cincinnati w. H. Hobart,
General Freight Afent of the Norfolk
and Western Railroad, was acting
Chairman.
The river men contended that tha
present rates were discriminatory on
coal shipped from the Kentucky and
Kanawha fields. 1t was brought out
that the rates on coal shipments to
Ohio points were from 25 cents toto
cents lower a ton than the all-rail
rates, while to Indiana points the av-
erage was 81 a ton less than on all
rail shipments.
Arguments were acrimonious on
both sides. e. e. Williamson, repre-
senting the river interests, sought to
show that, while the railroads were
getting the benefits of higher rates, al
lowed recently, the river interests
were not allowed their just proper
tion. 1t also was charged that when
coal is reshipped from Cincinnati to
points in Indiana they have to pay an
excessive rate on the rail haul from
Cincinnati.
All rail interests protested against
the granting of rate to river coal
shippers that would be so low it would
work injury to their interests. j. B.
Rattermann, a rail shipper, declared: :
IF the rate to Indianapolis is re-
duced very much for river coal, all
rail shippers will lose the chance Of
getting any Of the business"
James A. Reilly, Treasurer and
manager Of the Queen City Coal Com
pany, Cincinnati, declared that his
company ships coal by river to cut
down overhead expenses" He stated
that he desired Justice for river ship
persfi," and said his company quit
business at New Orleans when the
railroads established a rate so low on
coal shipments that the river interests
could not compete with them.

only one or two sermons and that on
account of illness. The church has
been greatly built up and the crown

.BURLEY TOBACCO
MAKES A new HIGH
RECORD N MONTH
Comparison Of January Figures
Shows That January Average
Was Highest In History Of
Tobacco Trade.

Unusual activity in the leaf tobacco
markets of Kentucky, even for the
busy month Of January, is indicated
by the official warehouse statistics for
last month. OF the 1918 crop Of to-
bacco a total sale of 162,291, ,467
pounds, valued at $46,930, ,0O1.34, is
shown, being an increase over the
corresponding month last year Of 1O6'-
696,2SO pounds. The average price
for all types Of tobacco In January
1919, was $5,5S per 100 pounds high
er than last year, and a comparison
with available statistics dating back
more than 10 years fails to reveal any
higher average in the history of the
tobacco trade. Unquestionably the
high prices prevailing for leaf tobac-
Nco of every description at the present
time is having tendency to bring
about an early sale of all holdings OF
both new and old crops. Compared
with the month of January, 1918, old
crop sales increased 9,566,7OS pounds
in volume, and $3.50 per 100 pounds
in price.
A comparison of the January figures
with those representing market sales
in December, 1918, reveals an increase
of 124,O25, ,52O pounds of 1918 crop to-
bacco, at an advance of $S.1S per 100
pounds in price, and gain Of S,2O4,-
592 pounds of old crop stock, at an ad-
vance of $6.94 per 100 pounds. Burley
tobacco reached the high average of
$34.2O in January, which was an in
crease of 1918 per 100 pounds over
the corresponding month last year.
and with the single exception of last
Augusta when $3494 per 100 pounds
was touched, the January average is
the highest on record. When the
small quantity of tobacco sold in Au-
gust is taken into consideration the
January figures may easily be said to
establish new high record for bur-
ley tobacco.
