The mistake the average young

that she tries to apply scraps of in

the auspices of community councils to
uphold him in his fight to make the
Legislature adopt two bills dealing with
drafted by the Governor.
The bills have been read twice and
committed to the Committee on Agri-
culture. To prevent them from dying
THROUGH lack of public support Cover
nor Smith has decided to lay his case
before the people. One bill is an en-
ablng act and authorizes the Board of
Estimate to build or purchase pas
teurization plant and to maintain it. 1t
is further provided that distribution be
handled by the Commi ssioner of Health
and that prices be fixed by the Board

ton. transportation, manufacture
storage, distribution and sale of
milk and milk products; power to in

both for violation Of any regulation.
The findings of the commission are
final unless reversed by the courts.

Hindu Calls Ills Faith
Akin to Christianity

Declaring that the basic religious
principles and beliefs of the Hindus
parallel those of Christians and that
the words Of the Trinity, "Father, Son
and Holy Ghost" were those of his
country but with different symbols, Har-
endranath Maitra, of Calcutta and Lon
don, editor Of "The Voice of India"
spoke to 800 members of the Theosoph-
zeal Association Of New York in the
Carnegie Hall music chamber yestcr-
day afternoon. His address on "The
New Ideal in Religion" was the first of
g series of free public lectures to be
given under the auspices of the organi-
zation in which comparative religions
viii be discussed
Mr.. Maitra traced the evolution of
Hindu thought from the beginning.
Religion, as l see it," he said, "all
centers around the eternal desire to
look into the beyond, to discover ana
come INFO contact with the infinite"
He referred to the seen and the un-
seen thing" declaring with Sir Oliver
Lodge that the most important of all
are those which remain unseen.
81 hope some day Mr.. Maitra said,
"to see America and India working hand
in hand in science, industry, social well
fare and commerce. With two great
religions so closely allied and with the
desire on the part of my countrymen
to live as you live, l feel sure that day
will come"

Two Elected From Church
Found Hidden Under Pew at
Anti-BoIshevilS nEcei;ng

Dolshevism was of German origin
and was planted in Russia by Germany.
prlncess Cantacuzene, granddaughter
of Ulysses S Grant, declared last night
in an address on "Bo}shevism As |
Know It." at the Church of St. John
the Evangelist, Eleventh Street and
Maverly Place. 1t was mistake to
hold the Russian peasantry responsible
ior. the doctrine. They were dcluded
into accepting it, she said.
Two mehS who were found hiding un-
der pew before the meeting began
were rejected by the police. They were
trought to be pro- Bolshcvists who were
seeking to assure themselves of advan-
tageous seats for heckling the speakers.
A resolution expressing the viii Of
the congregation as being "unalterably
opposed to the recognition of the Soviet
government of Russia" was adopted on
the motion of the Rev. John Armstrong
Wade, pastor of the church. The reso-
luton win be sent to President Wilson.

Gompers Heads Campaign Committee
The active direction OF the campaign
will be in the hands of an executive
committee composed of Mr.. Gompers,
Frank Morrison, secretary of the FED
Grafton, and James O'Connell, president
of the metal trades division of the
Federation. The first move Of the COM
mittee was to call on the local central
bodies of the unions affiliated with the
Federation to hold meetings on March
20 to select committees of five liable
and devoted members" which shall
have charge of the political campaign
in their respective districts. AS yet
no step has been taken to establish
state committees. Many of the major
and minor aspects of the campa ign
have been dealt with by the executive
council of the Federation, which has
been in session at Jacksonville, Fla,
this week.
lo will be observed that the political
methods of organized labor are similar
TO those of the Nonpartisan League,
which seeks to unite the farmers in
group political action through the con-
troll Of the machinery and candidates
of the old parties, and it is likely that
in localities where they can agree on
common ends they will work tcecther.
The National Nonpartisan Political
Campaign Committee counts on fair
sized war chest, to be flied from two
sources: a levy Of one cent per capita
a week by the national and nterna-
tional unions making up the Eoder-
alton end by voluntary contributions
obtained through the local unions. Ap-
peais for funds will go out next week.
A million dollars, approximately, may
be raised in these ways, as the mem
bership affected by the direct levy is
more than four millions. All Of this
money will go into the headquarters
treasury. In addition, local commll
tees will raise special funds for par
ticular purposes o. their own.
The leaders expect that with the
lnterlocking of their political organ
lzatlon and the labor organization
proper they will have control Of such
large numbers Of effective volunteer
workers that they can do as much with
81 900 coo a. the old party committees
can do with four times as much. Under
this arrangement every union hail will
become political center and every
one of the $50 central bodies will be-
come in effect a political committee

of local unions. all inspired bv the
hope of winning substantial benefits

Wants Naturalization
Law Made More Simple
Chief of County Bureau Would
Have Citizen Boards Pass
on Applications

Declaring that the present naturali-
cation laws are 80 antiquated and cum
bersome that it would require forty
years for the naturalization Of the
alien population in the city, Hermann
w. Boyer. chief Of the Bureau Of Nat
uralization in New York County, said
yesterday that he favors the establish
ment of branches of the County Court,
presided over by boards Of citizens, to
pass upon applications for citizenship.
"If branches of the County Court
were established in districts heavily
populated with foreigners, the present
congestion of the court would be re-
lieved and applicants for citizenship
would not waste days waiting for their
turn to fill out papers, many of them
Worthless" Mr.. Boyer said. "These
branches could be worked in conjunc-
tion with the branches OF the League
of Foreign Born Citizens, where aliens
are now prepared for citizenship"
Mr.. Boyer said that the feature of
the present laws which makes them so
undesirable is the requirement that
two witnesses be present in court .
certify to the applicants character a
longth Of time in the country. 9TH -
senseless feature means that three men
have 10 keep waiting for their turn
.asd he. "and the loss to production
undar this law is enormous. If one
witness cannot appear, it means q
pc 5tponement of the case, and a fur
ther clogging of the courts calendar"
Mr.. Boyer suggests that an effort be
made to invest the presentation Of
naturalization cert ticates with an i'm
pressive ceremony so that the con-
ferring of citizenship will stand out
in the foreigners life.

Miners Are Ready
To Discuss Wages
Anthracite Workers to
Ask 90 r. G.. Raise, o.
Hour Day, 5-Day Week

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 29.--Demands
for 60 per cent increase in wages
for contract miners, So day raise for
day men and a six-hour day and five
day week for men paid by the day or
month will be presented to the. an
thraclte coal operators in New York
March by the union representatives
of the hard-coal diggers. These de-
mands were formulated at conven-
ton of the anthracite miners in Wilkes
Barre last August and ratified hy the
national convention Of the United
Mine Workers of America in Cleveland
in September.
The conference of operators and
mine workers next month will en-
deavor to negotiate new agreement
to take the place of the contract now
in force.
The present general wage agreement
covering the anthracite industry was
entered into in May, 1916, for four
years years ending March 81, this year.
Because of war conditions wages have
been since readjusted by supplemental
agreements between the miners and
operators.
About 10000 mine workers will be
affected by the new contract to be ne
gotiated. The miners scale committee,
which will meet the operators. will be
composed OF the Ot1lcerS and executive
board members of the three districts
comprising the anthracite fields, the
three international board members in
the hard coal REGIONS and three mine
workers from each district. No an
Aouncement has been made as to the
number of men who will represent the
coal mine owners. 1t is expected, how
ever, that after the demands arc for
mally presented and views are eX-
changed between the two sides, small
subcommittee viii be named to carry
on the actual negotiations.
When in final form the agreement
Will be presented to tie full committee
for adoption In the case Of the min
ers. the agreement will have to go
back to a convention of the mine work
ers for ratification.
Whether the mine workers will re-
main at work if an agreement is not
reached by March 81 will depend
largely. it is said, on how strenuously
the operators oppose the demands. No
opinion has thus far been given by
either side as to the outcome of the
negotiations. The opinion was eX-
pressed, however, that the negotiations
probably would not be taken up seri-
ously until the bituminous wage scale
has been agreed upon.

"All nations, especially Italy. are

indefinitely on her. This year America

Russia, which was the granary of
Europe, cannot yet, give US any ap-

"Italy has been the first to put her

whaZhc has done is not yet sufficient
to bring about economic reconstruction
and save the country from bankruptcy
Much as she has done, Italy. like other
European countries, consumes to-day
more than before the war. In addi

Italy of all kinds OF food and also raw
materials. particularly coal
"Amcrica is accused of selhshness in
not wishing to help Europe. But we
must consider that America herself is
frightened at the abyss threatening
Europe, from which she wants to save
