PROGRESS SLOW IN TRIAL IF NEWBERRY;
 SCHEDULE |S UPSET
[RepubIican A. p. Leased wire1

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich., Feb. s. The Newberry elections conspiracy trial will go into it's third week in the United States federal court tomorrow with the machinery forSits grist not completely shaken down.
 Thus far the speed schedule set for the prosecution by Frank C. Daley, assistant attorney general, and his a.s- sociates, has not been even approxi- mated.
 The schedule called for an average of 20 witnesses a day. There have been four full court days devoted to witnesses since last Tuesday and only a few more than half a hundred men and women have occupied the stand. Perhaps 800 will be called for prose cution and defense before the issue goes to the jury.
 The influenza epidemic has had something to do with this, some wit nesses having been summoned to tes- tify ahead of their logical places be- cause of sickness in thes- homes or places of bushes. As a consequence several detached aspects of the gov ernment case have been presented to the jury and the orderly progress of the story has been interfered with.

O|L LAND SUITS
 WERE HOPELESS
 PALMER CLAIMS
laepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Holding that it is not the governments duty to clog the courts with frivolous and hopeless appeals, Attorney General Palmer, in statement tonight, out lined the basis for the government S decision against carrying to the su- preme court the Southern Pacific oil land cases, which Adecision has been the subject of protest by Clifford Pin chot, former chief of the bureau of forestry, in letters to MT. Palmer and to President Wilson.
 Indisputable evidence. the attorney generals statement asserts, was pre- scented in the trial of the oil cases in the lower court that at the time the tracts in question; which are located in Southern California, were granted in 1S92-1S97, the Southern Pacific lands were oil bearing. Also, the statement adds, evidence was produced showing that the Southern Pacific for years after receiving the grants had the lands on the market as agri- cultural and sold large acreag ges as such. Therefore, in the opinion of Mir. Palmer, granting of the lands, later found to contain oil, could not be held void on a charge of bad faith in their acquisition. This position, it is added, was concurred in by government at torneys acquainted with the cases.
 
 ment continues, mo lawyer would ad- wise client to enter an appeal, and any appellate court would consider such an appeal to be almost frivolous. cannot consent to the doctrine that it is the governments duty to clog the courts with frivolous and hopeless appeals, or to harass business inter ests of the country by prolonging liti- gation entirely without hope of re- covery on the part of the government.
 Nothing but the most perverted imagination could suggest any rela- tion between some cases, involving oil leases, which l tried some years ago in Oklahoma for Pennsylvania clients-small independent oil pro- ducers-and this Southern Pacific liti- gation- Pinchots studied effort to create the impression that these cases are similar to the Southern Pacific litigation is cowardly because he avoid a direct charge and is contempt ible because he seeks to create false

i, defined the essential industrial policies and legislative enactments required to establish a full measure of justice and opportunity for labor.
 Because of grave emergencies which arose since that convention it became imperative that the representatives of organized labor and farmers should assemble and confer to devise ways and means for safeguarding their rights and liberties as free men and citizens. On December 13, 1919, a con ference of representatives of labor and of farmers met in Washington, D. c.
 Oppose Anti Sedition Law
 This conference expressed 1abor's grievances, protests and demands
 ''No favorable legislative action upon the recommendations contained in the American Federation of Labor recon struction program, or those expressed at the December conference. has been taken by congress Instead many con gressmen have endeavored to enact legislation providing for compulsory labor. Despite the patriotism and sac rifice of the masses of labor of Amer ica during the world war, under the guise of anti-sedition laws, the effort has been made to repress free as- sociation, free speech and free press.
 ''Scorned by congress. ridiculed and nlisrepresented by many members Of both houses. the American labor move ment finds it necessary to vigorously apply it's long and well established non- partisan political policy.
 Resurrect Old Platform
 Confronted by succession of hos tile congresses, the American Fedora tion of Labor in 1906. announced its historic bill of grievances This was followed by a vigorous and success ful non-partisan political campaign. In 1908, 1910 and 1912 the same program was energetically applied and as d result many of labors enemies in congress were defeated and all Of the essential legislation in 1abor's bill Of grievances of 1906, was enacted.
 Constructive legislation has never been so necessary as at present. Never has it been so essential to secure the defeat of labor'S enemies and the cleo tion of its friends and supporters.
 Sinister forces are already actively engaged in efforts to confuse and null lify labor's political power. Their ob- jeet is 10 divide the labor vote SC that the election of reactionaries and enemies of labor will be assured Un- less labor holds steadfastly to it's non-partisan political policy, the enemies of labor will be successful in their efforts. Labor cannot labor must not permit it's political strength to be divided in the present crisis. Organ ized labor owes allegiance to no po- litical party. It is not partisan to any political party. It is partisan to prin- ciples-the principles of freedom, Of justice and of democracy.

FINANCIAL CRISIS
 IMPENDING CLAIMS
 SPEAKER OF HOUSE
lRepubIican A. p. Leased wire]

SPRINGFIELD Mass, Feb. S-The United States is facing the worst if nancial crisis in its history, declared Speaker Frederick H. Gillett of the national house of representatives in an address before 5000 persons. The present high cost of living. he said, is due largely to the greatly inflated conditions, due to the floating debt of four billion dollars in treasury certificates, and the principal means of bringing it down is by thrift on the part of. the public, with the alternative that this country will face a panic similar to that of 1893. It is up to the public, he said. to practice due care present conditions may be bettered.
 Like the problem of years ago. when the government was forced to fight trusts, the speaker said that today congress faces a new question, "a question with q combination of em- ployed is not more threatening to our business life than that Of the em- ployers''
 Continuing. he declared he believed that labor unions are essential for the protection of the men. but when they go so far as to threaten for their own advancement to stop the wheels of the railways and close the output of the mines, without which our whole in- dustrial organization would collapse, they, in their turn, are exercising a power which no government can safely permit

SENATE RENEW
 PEACE TREATY
 DEBATE TO-DAY
Republican A. p. Leased wireI

WASHINGTON, Feb S-The peace treaty, which has lain in a parliament ary pigeon hole since November 1S, while a basis for it's ratification was lmsuccessfully sought in private ne- gotiations, will be brought formally be- fore the senate again tomorrow.
 Although prompt agreement is eX- pected generally on many of the minor points at issue, a long and bitter con test is forecast over article ten and perhaps a few other treaty provisions. The leaders on both sides profess to see some hope of ratification, but some other senators believe the deadlock certain to continue until the contro- versy has been fought out in the presi- dential campaign.
 Republican and democratic leaders plan to cooperate in untangling the parliamentary restrictions which must be removed from about the treaty to permit it again to be considered. AL though the first move will be made at tomorrow's session, these parliament ary technicalities are expected to de- lay actual debate until Tuesday or Wednesday.
 Wilson Takes Hand
 Aside from the ousStanding issues of the treaty fight itself the most prom inent subject of discussion among senators tonight was the letter of President Wilson, laid before the demo- cratic conference yesterday and made public by Senator Hitchcock of Ne hraska the democratic leader. The presidents renewed declaration Of op- position to some of the language of the republican reservations was interpreted in different ways.
 Some declared the letter an uncom- promising reiteration of the stand by the president on the eve of the Novem- Der ratification vote, and asserted that publication of his letter at this time again had widened the breach tRtween the democratic and republican senate forces. Others, protesting to see new evidences of concession in the presi- dents words, predicted ain opposite effect.
 Although the presidents letter was written before publication of the state ment of Niscount Grey, British am- baSsador to the United States, regard ing reservations, in some quarters it was suggested that-the letter would not have been permitted to become public yesterday if the. British statesman'a views had resulted in any change in the presidents position.

Parliament Reassembles to Find Solution of Difficult Problems of Reconstruc- ton
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON, Feb. 7.-The British par liament will reassembIe on Tuesday with several of the weightiest problems of reconstruction still hanging over its head. The financial situation, the question of standardization of mines and railroads, and the Irish problem are three of the most important sub jects with which the session is expected to grapple without delay.
 Forecasts of King Georges speech predict that it will be an unusually long and important pronouncement. The kings speech. read by his ma jesty but framed by the cabinet. GUS tomarily points out the principal topics of national interest and frequently foreshadows the course of legislation.
 Lloyd George to State Position
 Premier Lloyd George is expected to begin the session with a view of the general state of Europe and of the British policy toward various develop ments, such as relations with Russia and the Polish and Italian situations.
 The laboriteS promise to move an amendment providing for nationaliza- ton of mines, while the small delega- tion of the Irish nationalist party in the house of common is expected to at tack the governments policy of repres- sion, which they blame for Irish dis orders.
 Among announcements expected is a statement of whether the government favors the proposed international coh- ference for discussing the worlds if nancial ailments. Confirmation also is expected of the governments pre- vious statement that Great Britain has not considered asking further loans from the United States.
 Fear Labor Ministry
 homo oEa Ivy hf, brought forward at an early day, the cabinet having overhauled it during the past week at conference with Viscount French, lord lieutenant and governor general of Ireland, and James Ian MacPherson, chief secretary for Ire land.
 Heavy clouds appear to be gathering behind the coalition government owing to the steadily increasing power of the labor party, Some of the best informed politicians profess to see the 'hand- writing on the wall'' that the formation of a ne wministry by the laborites is only a question of time and that the hour may strike within the next few months.
 Suggest New Cabinet
 George Nicoll Barnes and George H. Roberts, the last two labor ministers in Premier Lloyd Georges cabinet have resigned, leaving the coalition govern ment without any representation of the party which recent by-elections have indicated is now numerically the last political organization in Great Britain.
 Speculation as to the personnel of the next cabinet advances Arthur Hen derson, the Iaborite leader, as a, pos sible premier; Viscount Haldane as lord chancellor and Prof. John May hard Keynes, British delegate on the reparation sub- commission of the peace conference. as chancellor of the eXchequer.

Announcement of the decision was made in an official circular, em- bodying the conclusions of the fedora tion's general committee which has been in session here several days. This circular will be distributed in every state through the local unions.
 "The inherent rights and principles of our pleople are threatened,' the circular begins.
 "The free institutions of our country are menaced.

 "The congress of the United States has failed to do it's duty. It has failed to meet the emergency. It has given encouragement and support to auto cratic and reactionary policies. Its dominating thought has been the re- pression of labor.
 Says Labor Appeal In Vain
 Every effor to secure remedial and Constructive legislation has been strangled. Every appeal for redress has met with subtle and open hostility. The halls of congress have been used by labor's enemies to foster and spread a vicious propaganda against the ef- forts of the toilers to exercise their formal and lawful activities for the protection and promotion of their in terests and welfare. Labor has ap- pealed for relief in vain.
 'The hour has arrived when those who believe in the maintenance of democratic institutions must marshal their forces in defense of their rights and ideals
 Tt is intolerable that a people who spared no cost to make the world safe for democracy should be forced to sub- init to any restriction of the glorious liberties inherited from the founders of our nation. The perpetuation of our fundamental rights and the enactment of essential, constructive legislation demand the election of men, regardless of their political affiliations, who are truly representative of American ideals of liberty.
