CONFERENCE WITH GoMpERs

You woll be interested to know the re- suits of a conference I had in Washing ton last Wednesday with MT. Gompers with reference to bringing to bear the full power of organized labor on the Sen ate. Senator Hitchcock was present and folly concurred in what was agreed upon"
 Explaining how letters would be sent by Mir Gompers to 5000 local unions suggesting they write to senators urging ratification of the treaty, Mir. Shorts let ter adds:
 These (the letters) are going out i'm |mediately and the work will cost about $500, which I undertake to pay from funds of the league. I have been urg- ing Oliver Wilson, master of the Ma tional Grange. to take similar action with the local granges. A telegram from MT. Boyd this morning tells me that he has agreed and wants the work to go out from this office. I assume that he will expect us to pay the bill for that also.
 You will be pleased to know that our income for the month was substantially identical with the outgo. so we are hold ing our own and have a bank balance at the end of the month of s37,0SS 0l''

BELGIAN BONDS BEING OFFERED
 FOR SALE HERE

The Guaranty Trust Company of New York has announced it's readi- ness to accept subscriptions in Bel gian francs to the new Belgian Gov ernment per cent Internal Prem1- um Loan of two and a half billion francs. The purchaser buys these bonds in francs outright and not in dollars. The price of each 500 franc bond will be 499 francs; and with each American dollar now worth ap- proximately 1850 francs, the Amer ican price of one of these bonds is now about $3T. Were Belgian francs to return to the mint par of exchange these bonds would be worth at par about $96.50.
 Another novelty to the American investor is the premium feature, by which the Belgian government will retire annually a certain percenta ge of these bonds, by lot, at 150 per cent or 750 francs. The Guaranty Trust Company is assisting in the placing of this loan at the request of the Bel gtan Ministry of Finance, which has particularly sought the cooperation Of all foreign banks having branches in Brussels.

PROPER WAY TO SEND IN
 INCOME TAX

Cash payments of Income Taxes should not be sent by ma1,'' says Col 1ector of Internal Revenue James J. Walsh
 Cash sent by mail is always at the owners risk of loss; and if lost or stolen, the sender may find h1Insel1 facing penalties for failure to pay his tax on time.
 "A taxpayer will find it more prac- ttcal to purchase a Post Office money order, or draw a check for the amount of the tax, payable to Collector Of Internal Revenue, Hartford, Conn.
 ''The first payment, due on or be- fore March IS, should be attached securely to the completed return, and forwarded or delivered to my office at Hartford, Conn. This first pay naent must cover either the entire tax shown due or at least one-fourth of the tax due,
 'tEarly payments and early filing of returns is urged, in order that an overload on the final date, March 9th, may be avoided.

ARGENTINA AND U. s. SHOULD BE
 MORE FRIENDLY

Chicago, Feb. IS. The United States and Argentina must become better friends in a business and a social way, according to a state ment by Dr. D. E. Salaberry, finance minister of Argentina, who was guest of honor at a dinner given by number of Chicago lawyers, fnan- ciers and packers last night.
 You must pay more attention to Argentina's orders," Dr. Sa1aberry said. You have stiff competition from Europe and you don't appreciate it.
 You must pack things better. Shipments often arrive broken or damaged, although the materials we buy from England, Spain, France or Germany all arrive in the best con- dition.
 Another thing that would bring the United States and Argentina closer together is passenger service. A man can travel from Europe to Ar gentina in half the time 1t takes to come from the United States. "Furthermore, not enough of you visit our counry-the greatest anc biggest in South America Dr. Salaberry was a delegate to the recent Pan-American Financial Con | ference in Washington.
