BRIT AIN FACES GREATEST
LABOR CRISIS IN HISTORY
FIFTEEN BILLIONS LIMIT GERMANS
ABILITY TO PAY IN PREPARATIONS
estimate CHAIRMAN BARUCH
GERMANY MUST WORK

1T is conceded that Germany can
not pay as much as she ought to pay
but / am not one of those who think
the Allies should not require Germany
to pay the largest possible sum. If
France and other Allies are to be COM
pensated, Germany must get to work.
must be just to France, Belgium. Italy
and the other countries Germany raw
placed on her must not be such as to
cnslave her people, though it must be
up to the limit of her ability to pay.
THE crux of the world industrial
and commercial problems lies in the
fixing ofthe reparations that Germany
must pay. Fixing the PREPARATIONS
would be followed, in my opinion, by
gradual establishment of Germany's
credit, an immediate rise in world ex-
change, by an increase in the purchas-
ing power of all the nations and the
world resumption of commerce. Ger
many must work to produce the wealth
with which to pay. In helping herself
she will do what is more important
she will be helping us all.
There is no denying but that what
Germany pays, she must pay with
things created by labor of brain and
! lot
labor devoted to the restoration of
devastated areas and the rest of the
world seems unnecessarily fearful of
having her pay with labor in the form
of manufactured goods. Those who
entertain this fear do not realize that
the very people from whom Germany
will buy her raw materials will have
an increased market for manufacture
ed goods from all the peoples in the
world They do not realize that a new
market will be- created not alone in the
former Central Empires and Russia,
but in every corner ofthe world by
the stimulation of the exchange of
products and manufactured goods.
Doubtless those who are charged
with the settlement of the rcparations
Will take into consideration the large
amount of claims for ships destroyed.
rre-war debts, and so on, that Amer
lcan citizens have against Germany
aside from the reparations. An ar
rangement could be made whereby
these claims would receive treatment
parl-passu. with the reparations due
to other countries. instead Of being
left in the status OF a claim so remote
that it would be impossible for our
citizens to obtain satisfaction. Unless
America participates in the settlement
these claims must remain a deferred
mortgage. Our only course seems to
lie in becoming a party to the settle

STILLMAN SICK
. OF PUBLICITY GIVEN
DIVORCE CONTEST

New York, April S-Reports that
James A. Stillman, president of the
National City Bank of New York.
was anxious to press his divorce suit
to rapid conclusion were confirmed
here today by his attorneys. They
turned over to Mrs. Stillman's coun-
sci $62, 500 for counsel fees and alimo-
ny which they had been given until
May 4th to pay in instaIlments. With
the heck for that amount was let
ter saying Mr.. Stillman desires a
prompt trial of the issues and is not
disposed to furnish any excuse for
delay by staying the proceedings
pending an appeal"
Previously it had been announced
that an appeal from the order grant
ing alimony, counsel fees and expens-
es would be taken. and the letter to-
day set forth that the payment was
made without prejudice to our right
to appeal from the order within the
80 days allow by law"
Proposing that hearings before a
referee be resumed ON April 20, Mr..
Stillman's attorneys said they would
not appeal unless convinced that
there is no probability of a trial at
reasonably early date" Counsel for
Mrs. Stillman were not prepared to
state tonight whether they would be
ready to reopen hearings by April

Two Million to Quit Work Tuesday,
Claim Employers Plotting Wage Cut
Govt. Prepares for Military and
Other Moves to Defeat Triple.
Labor Alliance
PREMIER PLANS

London, April s. (By The Asso-
ciated Press.)-Tuesday at midnight,
unless there is some new develop
ment meantime, will see the begin
ming of the greatest labor struggle in
the country's history. Approximate
ly 100000 workers then will have
stopped their work in protest against
what they consider to be an organ
lied attempt on the part of the en-
ton in wages.
This was the central fact of the
labor situation as it developed today
in a break down in the miners con-
ference and a consequent decision by
the triple alliance, made up of miners
railway and transport workers-for
the first time since it was organized,
that it's entire membership, roughly
estimated at 100000 miners and
100000 mep each from the railway
and transport workers organization,
should quit work in support of the
strike of the miners.
The governments standpoint, as
voiced by Premier Lloyd George in
a brief speech in the House of Com
mons this afternoon, is that the ac-
ton of the miners and the other
members of the Triple Alliance, is an
attempt by direct action to .intim-
idate parliament and the nation. The
premier announced the military and
other measures which the govern
ment intended to take to defeat this
attempt.
The standpoint of the miners is
that the sudden removal of control of
the coal mines is the result of pact
between the government and the
mine owners to enable the owners to
enforce an unjustifiable reduction in
wages. The attitude of the railway
men is that unless there is support
of the miners at the present time a
similar dilemma will happen to the
railwaymen on some future occasion
when the railways are released from
government control.
The refusal of the miners to yield
on the question of permitting pump
men to return to the mines had as it's
motive conviction that the with
draWal of the pump men is the only
weapon in their hands. They argue
that a few weeks cessation of work
will not really injure.the mine own
ers who, considering the depressed
condition of industry, have ample
stocks of coal on the surface. They
declare that the mine owners have
brought this situation upon them
selves by including the pump men
among those whose contracts will be
cancelled unless they accept new
wage terms made not through joint
discussion, but by the mine owners
themselves. The arguments of the
miners find absolutely no newspaper
support except on the part of the ex-
IRENE Socialist newspapers. All other
newspapers condemn them strongly
and general regret is expressed that
the miners refused to listen to the

BARUCH'S BELIEF

Washington, April S-F'ifteen bill
lidns, as the sum Germany is able and
probably willing to pay in repara-
tifns is estimated by B. NJ. Baruch,
chairman of the American Repara-
tifns Commission in the current issue
of the official publication of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States. Mr.. Baruch, who took a
large part in drafting the economic
sections of the peace treaty, also sug-
gests with terms, a conditional can
collation. of inter allied Indebtedness.
AS one of the terms he suggested
for instance, instead of cancelling
outright any part of the British in
debetdness, that the United States
cancel conditionally the amount
spent by Great Britain in this coun-
try formunitions during the war, this
sum to be a demand liability with
out interest and to be collected in
case this country becomes involved
in a future war. He also proposes
that the cancellation of indebtedness
may be made Il means of dwelling
preferential tariff barriers.
THE concensus in Paris" says Mr..
Baruch, was that Germany could pay
at least the capital sum of $4,000
100000 about $4,000, 000,0 900 has been
paid, paid s56,00O,0 0o 900 spread over
IN q
600 at going rate of interest,-say
1-2 per cent which foreign nations
have to pay in this market. In the
discussion of German Preparations the
Allies experts always took five per
cent. which would give to $4,000
100000 spread over AZ years of pres
ent value of $21 coo 600, 600
while in the circumstances it
would come with bad grace from
America to say what Germans would
pay or what the Allies should accept
one could say that there cannot be
much doubt that, retaining Silesia
and with all discriminatory restric-
tons removed from Germans and
their trade. Germany could pay
present capital value of $4,000, 000,-
900. The real worth of this to the
Allies would depend upon the final
judgment of the investing world as
to Germanys ability and Willingness
TO meet that amount.
There has been some discussion
regarding the condition of cancclla-
ton of allied obligations to us. Doubt
less those who have responsibility in
the matter, in case it is seriously
undertaken, will have in mind the
amelioration or removal of discrimi-
natory and preferential tariffs against
our trade.
'Tn case anything is done. there
might also be a differentiation be-
tween the funds borrowed and spent
for munitions and the funds spent
for the maintenance of the population
or in the continuance of trade. If
anything is done in reference to the
remission of that part of the obliea-
tons incurred for American made
munitions that part of the debt could
be made subject to renewal in case
America should become involved in
another war. 1t is fair to presume
that the United States would become
so involved only if it were in the in

Herrick to Accept
Post Ambassador
To French Republic

Washington, April S.-Formal an
nouncement of the selection of Myron
T. Herrck of Ohio to be ambassador to
France was made late today at the
White House.
1t was said that although official
notification of Mr.. Herrick's accept
ability had not been received from the
French government, administration
officials had been assured informally
that he would be welcomed back to the
post he held under President Taft.
Mr.. Hcrrick's selection was one OF
the first to be made for the diplomatic
corps by President Harding but the
former ambassador withheld his ac-
ceptance until few days ago. His
nomination is expected to go to the
senate early in the special session of
Congress.

JOBS FOR "NEW POOR"

London, April S-If the triple ALI
ance'' order for a general stoppage
of work by it's members is made eff
fective, it seems certain there will be
a rush of volunteers from the ele-
ments not in sympathy with the strike
movement. An organization which
probably will have an Important part
in this emergency is the middle class
es union, composed mainly of the
new poor" and the so-called 'tsalari-
at" who contend that through lack
of organization, they have failed to
achieve increases commensurate with
those received by the trade unionists
and that they have been penalized
through the high living costs result
ing from tie advances to the trade un-
ionists.
When the strike clouds began to
gather this organization started re-
gistration of all those prepared to
serve in any capacity during the ma
tional emergency, and it's officials to-
sildl lIlcuodoS VI
of me and women had enrolled at the
unions 800 branches in all parts of
England, Scotland and Wales.
Similarly committees have been
formed for the cnrollmen of volun-
teers among professional men, so if
the strike comes, Kings Councillors
may be seen driving motor buses, doc
! tors collecting tramway tickets and
peers stocking locomotives, as was the
case during the railway strike in
, September, 1919.
For the protection Of these civilian
volunteers and to facilitate their SER
vices, the government had established
not only the regular army and naval
establishments and their reserve for
ces, but may use the country wide
territorial organizations which CORES
pond to the state militia in the Unit
ed States.
Premier Lloyd George already has
| indicated that the special constabula-
ry formed during the war and total
ling about $4,000 men, will be called
out. This uniform force usually is
! employed to assist the police in the
preservation of order in the more
populous centcrs. From Ireland come
reports of government preparations
to transfer crown forces to England
should the necessity arise.
