might be a wise investment for the
government to take up this matter or
credits to the European nations. since
it might save this country from

In the opinion of Senator Mclean,
it is folly to hope for any sudden
and large decrease in prices. Such a
decrease in prices must be followed
by a reduction in wages and the lay
ing off of many workmen III the

that a man would have to do just

has tremendous war debts to pay,
would find those debts just SO much
more difficult to pay.
Hope Lies in Gradual Change.
The real hope as Senator Mclean
sees it. for a reduction of prices ana
a return to normal conditions Mieu
regard to trade in general lies IN
gradual change. Anything abrupt
would mean disaster.

that the history of tariff legislation

strike were reopened this morning, in
dcating that the informal discussions
which have been in progress since
Sunday had proven satisfactory to
some extent at least.
1t was reported from South Wales
today that the miners officials there
had before them yesterday the gov.
ernment's new formula on the wage
question. which is said to be basel
upon coal values. The miners are to
get two shillings a day increase, but
the future selling price of coal viii
depend on production; that is;if pro-
duction falls below a certain level the
price of coal will be increased to the
householder: otherwise pfesent prices
will be maintained.
Under this plan the miners, while
receiving more wages, would coop
crate with the owners in preventing
increased prices.
Much significance was attached to
todays negotiations, especially IN
view of Permier Lloyd George 81
statement in the house of commons
that he was loath to call such con-
ference until basis had been reach
ed which looked as if it might lead
to final negotiations.
The belief EXPRESSED today that
such a basis had been reached.

APPEAL RIK E
AT OLD PARTIES
In Asking Debs Support Com
mittee Says G.. 0. P. and
Dems Are Failing

Chicago, Oct 26.-The national eX-
ecutiye committee of the Socialist
party issued final appeal here today
urging socialist supporters and SYM
pathizers to vote for Eugene V.
Debs and Seymour Stedman, nom
nees for President and Vice-President
respectively.
The appeal follows'in part:
"The national executive committee
of the socialist party in the closing
hours of this campaign addresses to
YOU a note of warning. The drift from
the parties of capitalism has been con-
ceded, even by our opponents. 1t is
admitted that all signs indicate tre-
mendous vote for the Socialist party
candidates, Eugene V. Debs and Sey-
mour Stedman.
"The old two-party balance of pow
er is crumbling. The dissolution OF
these two party organizations Of the
ruling classes is almost as marked as
the dissolution Of the Whig and DEM
ocratic parties in the north during the
eight years before the ascension OF
Lincoln to the presidency.
"The survility Of the Republican
and Democratic parties to the finan-
cial and capitalistic oligarchy is as
notorious as the servilty Of the Whig
and Democratic parties to handful OF
slave owners and slave traders. IN
the declining days Of slavery. Their
record of domestic reaction equals
their record of brutal conquest over
seas. If Democratic rule of the mail
ed fist in Haiti and San Domingo is
a shocking record of brutal overthrow
of sister Republics and military rule
in the interests of American bankers
it should not be forgotten that all this
has occurred without any protest
from the Republican members of Con-
gress."
