LEAGUE TO CONSIDER
ECONOMIC BLOCKADE
AT Geneva MEETING
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK. Nov. 5.-One Of the
important questions to be considered
by the Assembly of the League of Ma
tons at its first meeting, beginning
November Is, at Geneva, will be the
preparations required to enable the
league to use, if necessity arises, the
weapon of international economic and
financial blockade contemplated in Ar.
ticle XVI of the covenant.
A memorandum by Sir Eric Drunl,
mond. the secretary-general, now be
ing distributed to the members of the
league, and received here by the
League to Enforce Peace, shows that
this question will come before the as
sembly, on the recommendation of the
league council in the form of pro-
posal to appoint a body to be known
as the International Blockade cora
mission. The secretary-general sug
gests that this commission consist of
representatives nominated by the
countries entitled to permanent mem
bership in the council with the ad-
dition of representatives of four Other
members of the league selected Ly
the assembly, for the purpose of study
ing the problem and settling the gen.
eral plan of action, the organization
Of the more permanent machinery re-
quired and the principal on which it
should work.
Question Interests U. S.
This question is of peculiar interest
to the United States, because one OF
the first problems such a commission
would consider promises to be the
method of rendering blockade effec-
tive against states which are not mem.
bers of the league. In report adopt
ed by the council of the league at the
San Sebastian meeting in August, NJ
Tittoni, the Italian representative
stated: 1T should be clear that the
states members of the League of Ma.
tons who declare the blockade, have
the right to render it effective against
all states including those who are not
members of the league, but have not
the right to force the states who do
not form part of the league to declare
the blockade themselves"
Article XVI provides that, should
any member of the league resort 70

the other members shall undertake
Immediately to subject it to the sew

Prolonged Steel Strike Felt In

NEW YORK, Jan. S:-New. York is
beginning to feel the steel strike.
. An unprecedented shortage of all
steel products is manifest, and serious
Inconvenience due to the shortage is
in prospect. ,.*
In the wholesale hardware line
there is an almost absolute shortage
In. products. Nails, screws, bolts,
stays: braces and other small steel
products are practically off the mar
ket. One wholesale hardware dealer
who had just received a carload of
steel nails told the writer that he could
dispose Of several dozen more car
loads; OF nails alone. IT am about ten
carloads Of nails behind my orders"
he said.
Another feature Of the hardware busi-
ness which will make its effect upon
industry Is the shortage TO tools. Good
steel hammers, chisels, saws and other
common implements are hard to find.
That this will have its effect upon the
building industry is certain. Not only
are good mechanics tools scarce, but
other steel products which go into the
erection Of buildings, such as braces
and stays, are just as difficult to buy.

Southern Cotton Manufacturers
Oppose Law on Theory It's
:. Against State Rights.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-The fed
eral tax on the profits Of concerns
employing child labor is a violation
Of the theory Of state rights, saith at
torneys for southern manufacturers
who are asking the United States su-
preme court to annul this act.
The law applies to concerns that
ship goods in interstate commerce and
who employ children under IA years
Of age. The supreme court has pre-
viously ruled, in the case of the Keat-
ing child labor law, that congress has
no right to debar child labor products
from interstate commerce, as the child
labor question is state function. The
present law does not prohibit child
labor products from interstate COM
merce, but levies tax Of 10 per cent
ON the profits of the employer.
Defenders Of the law insist that this
is intended to raise revenue, while
child labor advocates hold that it is
a round about way to interfere with
state rights.

The Bolshevik attack in America,
France and England today is aimed
exclusively at the forces of progress,
at democracy, reform, the labor
unions, and even moderate Socialism.
These rivals-who are obtaining pro-
gress by peaceful cooperative means
must be killed off before the class
war can be organized. It is only after
this has been accomplished that the
work of destruction of established in
stttutions can begin. Lenine has just
cautioned his. $50 followers in the
Chamber Of Deputies Of Italy-where
the class war Is well advanced-that
they, must not revolt prematurely,
but must continue to organize the
class war until the ground is pre-
pared.
Bolshevism does not as yet menace
the American government in the
slightest degree. It not only menaces
but It is steadily undermining every
progressive force in the country. This
work Of spiritual destruction goes on
apace and In many forms. It is sub
sidized by rich American parlor Boil
shevists and supported by numerous
pro- Bolshevik high-brow and foreign
language publications. It is rapidly
organising into one solid mass all
the violent pacffist fanatics, pro-Ger-
mans, and anti-British disloyalists
who were knitting democracy In the
back during the war. = It operates
with the same personnel. the safne
methods the same system Of multiple
ORGANIZATIONS under various aliases.

Rule or ruin is the motto. The Or

captured no great labor union, But

They win either way. If the strike
Is gaining they push for demands SO
excessive as to embitter the outside

to embitter labor against our demo-

America has been deceived as to
the real Bolshevik menace in this
country. Being farthest from the
centre Of Soviet injection, we have
been .misled as to Bolshevik purposes.
we know that the Soviets aim to
destroy all existing governments and
civilizations. We know that many
European peoples are in danger, and
we fear that our turn may come soon.
This Is a total misapprehension.
Lenine knows and has recently stated
that sovietism has no present chance
in America. An intermediate stage is
lacking-a "class struggle" evolving
into civil war. It is this class war
the 'proletariat" on one side,: the
"Bourgeoisie" or capitalists on, tho
other, and the entire community di-
vided between these two warrinr
groups-that Lenine is now trying to
foster in this country. =
There is all the difference in the
world between the two stages Of
Bolshevist attack. In < the present
stage the propagandists IN America
are not attacking the conservatives.
On the contrary they, are even willing
to ally themselves with reactionaries,
as when Lenine made, his various
deals with reactionary. concession
hunting capitalists. 5..5
