There is a chance that Mr.. Harding
| may select Hoover for this place. and
| Charles M. Schwab also has been
mentioned. Hoover, it is said, might
| be acceptable to Samuel Gompers but
the naming of the steel man prob
ably would arouse the wrath Of the
| laborites.
Speaking Of Gompers, 1t may be
well to call attention to the labor
chiefs Incorporate attack on the SUI.
preme court of the United States.
That august tribunal last week hand
ed down decision to the effect that
labor unions or their members are
accountable to the antitrust laws
where they depart from their normal
and legitimate objects and engage
in an actual combination or conspiracy
in restraint of trade; in brief, this
is a decision against the legitimacy
of the secondary boycott" Mr..
Gompers promptly issued statement
in which he characterized the de-
cision as a 'blow at the movement for
human freedom and progress" and as
serted that the court had coined
forces with the anti-union shop move,
ment."
The British government is showing
much greater interest in the estab-
fishing of trade relations with Russia
and in the renewed menace of spread
ing Bolshevism than in Frances
alarm over the failure Of Germany
to disband and disarm the civil MILF
tia Of Bavaria and East Prussia.
Italy, too, is not inclined to become
excited over the latter matter. and
consequently France has not yet act
ed on her threat to occupy more Ger
man territory. The Bavarians do not
believe the rest of the world would
permit further seizure of German ter
ritory, and they think France will
because such a move would tend to
unite the factions in Germany and
arouse a patriotic spirit, resulting,
perhaps, in bloodshed. The German
government is not ready to resume the
discussion Of repara.iOnS and has
asked that the reopening of the con-
ference be delayed Both these mat
tiers will be discussed by the allied
premiers in Parts on January 10, and
they will also take up the question Of
the future attitude of the allies to-
ward Greece. The Greek government
is now showing very conciliatory
spirit and is ready to give the allies
full guarantees that Greece will carry
out the provisions of the treaty of
Sevres.
Eamonn de Valera, having reached
Dublin safely by way Of Manchester,
was preparing manifesto in which,
according to an authoritative source.
he would deny that the Sim Fem is
making peace OvertureS to England.
He is quoted as saying he would listen
to proposals of the English govern
ment if they we're based on recogni-
ton of the Irish republic. The Brit
ish government, on the other hand,
lets it be known that it would be will
ing to confer with De Valera, but
only as a private citizen, all ques
tons of separation being excluded
from the discussion. So that situa-
ton appears unchanged and only a
wonderful optimist could see in it
any hope of early settlement.
Lord Mayor Daniel O'Callaghan of
Cork arrived in Newport News, Va,
on Tuesday as a stoWaway on an
American steamer and at once arose
the question Of his admission to the
country. A special board of inquiry
ruled that he should be excluded, like
any other stoWaway, and he was then
released on parole The friends of
''Free Ireland rallied to his Defense
and the self-constituted committee on
the Irish situation invited him to ap-
pear before 1t and make "some start
ling revelations" he was said to have
anout his person.
There was rejoicing throughout the
country when word arrived from
Moose Factory, Hudsons Bay COM
parry post at the lower end of -Hud-
sons bay, that the crew of the navy
balloon Asses, missing since Deem
Der 13, had reached that place in
safety The three men, their balloon
driven to the Far North by furious
storm, landed in the Canadian forest
and made their way to the post, and
are now on the road back to civiliza-
ton, presumably none the worse for
| their perilous experience.
