Lansing to Reveal Versailles
Secrets I'm Book After Election

From The Tribune'g Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON. Oct. %. The inside
story of the peace conference is to
be told by Robert Lansing, former Sec
retary OF State, in a book to be pub
lished after the election, according to
friends of the former diplomat whose
break with President Wilson on the
treaty resulted in his custer from the
Cabinet in February last.
Mr.. Lansing to-day was averse to
discussing his projected book. dismiss
ing the announcement Of his friends
with the remark that he never pre-
dcted what he would do in the future.
He admitted, however, that he intended
to publish book, but asked to be eX-
cused from discussing it at present.
The former Cabinet members disn-
clination to refer to his future publ
cation was obviously for the reason
that he does not want to be placed in
position that might subject him to
the charge of vindictiveness toward the
President at this time, when the views
of the Executive on the peace treaty
are being attacked.
Mr.. Lansing's friends declare his
proposed book will prove a political
sensation of such magnitude as to have
an important bearing upon American
policy with respect to the treaty of

Ne1U Plot to Hold Firinle
Roman Socialist Organ Says
Concessions to Jugo Slaus

ROME, Oct 90 (By The Associated
Press) Revelations published by the
Socialist organ Avanti regarding the
future status of Fiume and Dalmatia,
are described by the Giornale dItalia
as embracing a plot which seems like a
fairy tale. According to Avanti, former
Premier Orlando, Gabrielle d'Annunzio,
Vice Admiral Thaon di Revel, former
chief of the naval staff; Rear Admiral
Milo. commander Of the Dalmatian oc-
cupation forces, General Giardina,
member of the Supreme War Council;
General Caviglia, former Minister Of
War; General Badoglo and several dep
uties, among them former Minister
Nava, have agreed to maintain the
status quo of Fiume and Dalmatia for
two or three generations rather than
make any concessions to Jugo- Slavia.
If these views are opposed, according
to the Avanti. the plotters will have re-
course to force, using cara, Pola and
Trieste as headquarters and having at
their disposition about 100000 men.
The action, says the newspaper, will be
contemporaneously anti Bolshevik, with
centers at Milan. Bologna and Rome.
The coup de main, says Avanti, will
occur at the moment news Is received
that the government has made con-

PARIS, Oct. 23.-The reported forth
coming marriage of Jacques Balsan
the French sportsman, and the Duchess
of Marlborough, whose proceedings for
divorce have reached the final stage
does not come as a surprise to Partisan
society. 1t is expected that formal an
nouncement of the engagement will be
made a s soon as the divorce decree is
granted in London, which probably will
be within few days.
Jacques Balsan is a member of the
well known Balsan family whose mills
supply large part of the cloth used
for the uniforms of the French army.
He is reputed to be very wealthy and
holds Il high position in French society
in which the Duchess, who before her
marriage was Consuelo Vanderbilt, is
a familiar figure.
Balsan is we'll known on the French
turf, but his chief hobby for years has
been aviation. He held responsible
position in French aeropautics during
the war and distinguished himself in
the fighting on the western front. He
had been promoted to the rank Of lieu
tenant colonel at the time the armis-
tlce was signed.
AS one of the three ce-presidents
of the French Aero Club Balsan has
followed closely the DEVELOPMENTS in
aeronautics since it's early days. He is
an expert pilot of both dirigible bal
looms and of airplanes and has made
numerous ascents in free balloons

Versailles Because Of its influence in
the Presidential campaign. Mr. Lansing
had been steadfast in his determina-
tion not to permit publication of the
book nor to discuss its contents until
the passing of the election removed
all doubt as to his motives.
Mr.. Lansing's story is expected to
be largely reproduction of personal
diary kept by him while at Paris. Al
though he had al that time ~ idea
of publishing his intimate personal
record OF what took place behind the
scenes, it is said, his diary consti-
tuted a detailed record OF names, dates,
conversations and impressi ions Of the
daily occurrences in the Hotel Crillon
and at such sessions at the Quai
d'Orsay as President Wilson permitted
any of the American commissioners to
attend.
The former peace commissioner
diary was kept by him as a means of
aiding him in his work; in order to
have accurate memoranda available for
reference when dealing with multi
tude of involved issues, and to have
his personal notes in the event of any
controversy over what was said or
done at any time.
The publication will be the first
bearing upon the peace negotiations
that has come from the pen of an
actual signer of the treaty For this
reason Mr.. Lansing's book 10 antici-
pated with eagerness.

Believed Slain in Wa hing
ton; Police Say He Was
Killed Three Days Ago

From The Tribume's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Washinp-
ton police were cooperating with the
authorities of Virginia and the Army
Intelligence Service tonight in solv-
ing the mysterious murder of Frank
Murphy Scanland, of Louisville, XIV.
formerly major in the army, whose
bruised and battered body was found
in a lonely wood near Alexandria, Va,
late yesterday.
The police are working on the theory
that the eX-ofiicer was murdered in
Washington and the body taken in
an automobile to the woocs Examina-
ton showed the skull was crushed be-
hind the right ear, indicating he had
been struck severe blow. The
knucklcs of the left hand were skinned
indicating he had put up battle for
his life. The spot where the body was
found showed no signs that a struggle
had taken place, however. 1t is due to
this the authorities are working on the
belief that the actual murder of Ma jor
Scaniand took place in Washington.
More Than One Aided in Murder
Evidence that more than one man
took part in the crime is indicated by
the fact that it would have been al
nest impossible for one person to have
placed the body where it was found
without leaving some trace on the
ground over which it would have been
dragged When the body was found
it was lying on its back, both hands
folded across the chest.
Not a thing has been discovered ex-
ccpt an aluminium cup. A heavy club
wrapped in Washington newspaper
dated October II, was picked up a
short distance from the body There
dicatc it was used in crushing the
mans skull.
According to Coroner {. II. Swain
| who performed an autopsy, there is no
doubt that the man was murdered In
addition to the crushed skull, the arms
and body were bruised severely. Ex-
animation indicated the man was slain
about three days ago

LONDON, Oct. 23.-The cost
to Great Britain of this weeks
ldleness in the mines is almost as
great as the profits for six months
from the increase in the price of
coal to the consumers. The
miners have lost in wages a sum
five times as large as the in
crease they would receive for a
week, under the scale which thew
are demanding.
Should the strike end imme-
dlately it would be another week

the developments of the next few
days are this strike will prove
the costliest that England has
had in eight years and it will he

Non Union Employers Would
FeudaLize America

Control the job and you control
the man." is the philosophy Of the
non-union employer.
This employer IS supreme. He sets
hours and working. conditions. BY de-
nying employees a voice in wages he is
master of their homes, their families,
their lives.
Every necessity, the little luxuries
and enjoyments of the family, the
education of children, their food and
clothing is through the good will Of
this modern feudal baron.
The unorganized worker has no
voice He must accept any terms the
master wills or work elsewhere II
non-unionism is general in his COM
munity, he is helpless, for his family
must be fed.
It is this system that the chamber
of commerce of the United States and
other business interests would fasten
on American workers.
These are the men who talked of
liberty and democracy during the
war. They made loud protests against
autocraey of the kaiser, whom they
initiate, but they lack the courage and
frankness of the military autocrat
One claimed to rule by divine right,
and backed his claim by bayonets
The other processes to abhor autoc-
racy while building up this system
through non-unionism and individual
bargaining.
He does not resort to bayonets. His
weapon-mastery of the jobs just
as effective and more discreet.
He appeals to mans loftiest ideals
and most patriotic impulses to hide
his slave theory, his cheapness, his
hunger for inordinate profits, his re-
fusal to treat employees as Americans.
Trade unionism is the answer to
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1920-11-26

those who would feudalize this coun-
try.
Every trade union should have a
standing organizing committee These
committees must be supported by the
enthusiasm and vigor of evefS other
member
Trade unionlsm should be the gospei
Of every organized worker 1t should
be his life work, his guiding star to a
better day
The non-union employer is powerful
because employees think he is.
A 100 per cent union will open the
office door Of any employer in Amer
lea.
