German Chemical Trade
Unchanged From 1918

According to a report to the De-
partment of Commerce the number
of chemical plants in operation in
Germany in 1919 was 1900. COM
pared with 1902 in the year 1913.
The number of plants in operation
last year was about 140 less than
those in 1918. This increase was
due chiefly to the elimination Of the
chemical plants in Alsace-Lorraine'

employed in chemical plants in 1918

creased to 36o.256. In 1919 the num-

cents less than the average earn
ings reported in October. but prac-
tically the same as the average of
preceding months. Although en-
ployment has declined steadily
since last spring. the earnings OF
the factory workers still employed
appear to have been little affected.
This has been caused chiefly by the
high rates granted to workers in
the early months of the year. many
of which are still effective. There
is also a tendency among employers
to lay of part OF their employees
rather than to retain all of them on
part time work. The most notable
reduction in average earnings dur
ing November was in the clothing
industry.

CATHOLIC PRESS OF HOLLAND
OPPOSED TO SURRENDER OF
FORMER GERMAN EMPEROR.

The Catholic press of Holland has
warmly approved of the Dutch gov
ernment's decision declining to sur
render the former German Emperor to

The newspapers are convinced that
the short, polite answer of the gov
ernment reflects the feeling that is in
the hearts of the majority of the peo-
pie: that it is not only the govern
ment's answer but the peoples an

The Catholic De Tyd says: "Not a
word too much or too little. That's
the first impression one has of the
document, which is worthy of the
hest traditions of the country, and in
which the blending of diplomatic and
judicial knowledge is clear
The paper considers that the Meth
erland's note will make history, and
argues that even if the worlds states
men pass over Holland the seat of the
League of Nations, Holland will be
known to possess an elementary con-
eeption of justice by this action, and
thus will make her influence felt in
the League. ..~,

favorably upon the note of the gov
ernment of the Netherlands.

DR.. RYAN ON SOCIALISTS
TERMS EXPULSION POLITICAL
OUTRAGE-REV. JOHN A., RYAN
i WRITES MORRIS HILLQUlT CON-
cERNlNG ACTION OF LEGIsLA-
TURE.

Rev. John A. Ryan, the distinguish.
ed Catholic Sociologist, who has al.
ready condemned the action of the
New York Legislature in excluding
the five Socialists, has written letter
to Morris Hillquit,. chief counsel of
the excluded Assembi, ,men, in which
he says that the action of. the Legis.
lature was ''the most brazen and in.
sidious political outrage that has been
committed in this country since 1877"
Father Ryan's letter, which was made
public by Mr.. Hillquit on Monday
says in part: ~
You and your associates are com.
batting the most brazen and insidious
political outrage that has been com.
mitted in this country since 1877.
agree with the Socialist and political
principles held by your five clients as
little today as in the days when yo,
and | crossed swords, but / hope !
still believe in justice, in democracy
in the reign of law. .-...
Possibly my desire to see your
CcuSS I1OL dlUO
gether unselfish, for l see quite clear.
ly that if the five Socialist represen
tatives are expelled on the, ground
they belong to an organization which
the autocratic majority regards as in
imical to the best interests of the
state of New York, a bigoted ma
jority in the Legislature Of Georgia
may use the action as a precedent tC
keep out Of that body regularly elect
ed members who belong to the Cath
olic Church. For there have been
majorities in the Legislature of more
than one Southern State that have
looked upon the Catholic Church ex
actly as Speaker Sweet looks upon the
Socialist Party"
Father Ryan and Mr. Hillquit were
antagonists in a number of debates
on Socialism. The reference in the
letter to the political outrage of 1877
undoubtedly concerns the decision OF
the Electoral Commission in the
Hayes-Tilden controversy
