Paris Labor Federation
Suffers Internal Strife

PARIS, Nov. .10.-Resolutions au-
thorizing the general federation of la
Dor to take measures against eXtrem-
lists obeying instructions from the
third Internationale (Moscow) outside
of the ranks OF the federation were
adopted at meeting of the General
Council of that organization here yes
terday. The vote was 70 to 20, there
being 23 members of the council who
refused to cast their ballots.
Leon Jouhaux. president of the Fed
Grafton declared he considered this
majority as insufficient, and presented
the resignation of the Centrl Bureau,
The council then adopted a motion ex-
pressing confidence in the bureau and
the wish that NJ. Jouhaux would con-
tinue to exercise the functions of his
office. Only % members refused to
vote, and the motion was passed by a
vote of 1913 to 3.
M. Jouhaux, however. left the room,
declaring it was impossible for him to
continue in office amid the calum-
MES and lies of the extremists" He
is expected to make a final decision
today. and newspapers here believe
he will not insist upon resigning. in
view of the vote of confidence given
by the council.

cleo the drop in feed. which he says
has gone to pieces" Also that al
high price for wheat, millers would
have to charge ST. or more per barrel
for -four to Offset the reduction in
millstuffs, which the public would not
stand for under existing conditions.
With reference to the fact that, with
-four down bread maintains the same
old price, the very top at that, Mr.
Goodrich cited the fact that bread is
still being made from high priced
-four. That many bakers contract for
two, three or even a four months
supply of -four, to insure against run
ming out, and that -four prices are
made according to values at the time
of purchase. ITO force the small
baker to cut the price of his loaf with
the dips in wheat, or to sell his bread
made from high cost -four on the
basis of today's -four and wheat mar
ket. would often entirely wipe out his

demand cheaper food from us without
first ascertaining the cost of produc-
ton and thereby proving whether or
not We are taking too large margin of
profit"
Says Laws Work Injury.
The national master declared that
the great changes that have taken
place since the beginning Of the war
have been to the disadvantage of agri,
culture and many laws and rulings of
our national government have proven
of injury to the farmers.
I'VE have searched faithfully to find
one law or ruling to our advantage and
failed to find it. We have argued foI
fair show, but our efforts have met
with a like fate"
Mr. Lowell said the recent census
showed a not decrease of 100000
farms in seven states-New York
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana
Michigan and West Virginia-and he
charged that the attitude of the men
in legislative halls and departments
of government was responsible to g
large degree for this condition. sc
long as we remain passive this state
of affairs will continue" he declare d
Concerning taxation. he said:
Defends Income Tax.
There is but one equitable form
of taxation and that is where every
form of wealth pays its just proportion
of taxes. There is no tax more jus:
than the income tax, for it is never
/ a charge against any one who has
not the means to pay" He spoke
against the single tax and the. idea OF
placing a government land tax of one
per cent on the land in place of tax
ing large incomes. Both would be
disastrous to agriculture. he said
Another equally erroneous idea" hc
continued, is the one of a heavy
tax on all unimproved land holdings
I for if this was done and they were
! forced on the market by reason o
such a tax (Which is the intent i
would cause the depreciation of farm
lands so per cent, from the fact tina
there is more improved land than mel

loss to the government as result of

also reported to the committee that
companies operating government YES
sells had in some instances owned
stock in companies which furnished
supplies to the ships at prices rang
ing as high as 60 per cent above whole

Discussing the ALLEGATION of ships
the report states that investigation
of companies or applicants for as
signed or allocated tonnage seems to
be more or less haphazard with the

operate with the department of in

Farmers are too busy with 1aIl work
to pay any attention to marketing
wheat or corn at these low prices, said
Joseph Poos, of the Poos elevator at
Eaton. I'VE are not buying any grain
just now, simply because farmers are
not bringing any to market. We have
been unable to get any hard coal of
the sizes we require this year"
1--WE have bought little jag of corn
at rs cents per bushel, at least We did
early" said Earl Adamson, of the
Lynn -four mill and elevator, but this
was little high. About 80 cents per
hundred pounds is all We can pay for
new corn now, and that would be q
good price, compared with central
markets" Mr.. Adamson says that
farmers are not merely holding their
grain but are also doing mighty little
buying, just now, except that they are
inclined to lay in coal when available
They have received five cars of hard
coal this season at Lynn, and had to
pay so much on the open, speculative
market for one car that they were
forced to charge SCI per ton to get
out on it.
Fountain City Has Coal.
I'VE have both anthracite and Ken
lucky soft COAL" said H. NJ. Hockett,
manager of the Fountain City elevator,
the hard coal at $40 and the soft at
$12 per ton. Farmers are shredding
and taking care of their corn, which
is about all the farm news | can tell
you today. They are not selling any
thing. unless it may be hogs, just
now
No Wheat at centerviIe.
Walter Mathews Of Centerville says
they can't buy any wheat at recent
decline, and that they have been I'M
able to buy any quantity of corn either,
having got in a very little new corn
the other day at 20 cents per bushel.
| They have been able to get a fair
share of the soft coal moving, he stat
ed on Tuesday, but that none of the
! anthracite ordered weeks ago has yet
shown up. He hopes, however, to
know definitely just when some hard
| coal can be counted on, by Friday.
Dear Bread and Cheap Flour.
In discussion of grain market con-
ditions with Goodrich Brothers of Win
chester, Tuesday afternoon, Mr.. Good
rich remarked: in view of the con-
! tnued break in wheat, he expected
! that the best they could offer on We'd
said, however, that they had been able
to get but little wheat of late, just an
odd load now and then, in fact, and
the same was true AS to corn.
Mr.. Goodrich believes that corn in
| this section will finally move at So &c
so cents, and oats at As to so. He

lican plan to bring this body of inter
code shall govern the court of the

Also. the court will be governed.
as every court is. by precedent. IL

stricted. The new court will not be
free, as the council and the assembly
or the league are free, to act on each
case according to the expediency OF
the moment and according to what
ever might happen to be the political
necessities of the case.
Court Restricted.
Not only will the new court be re-
stricted in this way; in addition, the
field in which this court will functioII
will be carefully confined ana limited.
Certain subjects, like immigration. will
be specifically excluded from its juris-
diction, and will remain as they now
are, subjects in which each nation will
continue TO be law unto itself.
The distinction between n body of
men acting as diplomats in the council
of the league and a body of men acting
as n court may not be readily clear
to the layman. although every lawyer
will recognize it instantly. But that
difference is almost literally all the
difference in this world.
There should be an American cam

of every detail of the league. 1t will
be necessary to make clear to them
how great is the difference between
the principles of the league which
America has rejected, and the prin
ciple of the alternative, which in due
course will be submitted to US.
