FREDERICK. Md, September TO-
Republican organization leaders who
have long swayed the destinies Of the
party in this county went down to
defeat yesterday at the primary cleo
tfon. which was strictly a republican
AFFAIR. There were no democratic
contests. with the exception of a mild
committee contest in Brunswick dis
trict. which was purely local.
In contrast to the harmony in dem
ocratic ranks, largely due to the fact
that the impression seems to be that
no democrat can be elected this fall
against republican majority of
about 1900. the republicans had con-
tests all down the line.
The November election this year is
known as the big county election,
at which the chief offices. carrying the
biggest salaries, are filled. AS a re-
suit, there was a general scramble for
places on the ticket.
With three districts missing. the re-
turns from which will not change re-
suits except possibly for sheriff and
for one county commissioner. no can
didate backed by the organization
forces had been nominated.
Frederick county politics has long
been largely a family affair" and the
republican primary has as a result a
significant effect in local politics.

WAGE CUT SET ASIDE
IN COLORADO MINES
State Commission Acts to End Con-

and Iron Company.
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
|. wALSENBURG. Colo. September
|1O.-The Colorado state industrial
commission today set aside wage
reduction inaugurated in coal mines
Of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany in Huerfano and Las Animas
counties and placed the old wage
scale in effect pending further in
|vestigation of the controversy which
has tied up many mines for more
than a week.
The announcement came from the
Office of F. W. Robinson. freight traf-
fic manager for the Union Pacific.
and was based on advices from E. B.
Boyd of Chicago, chairman Of the
Western Trunk Line committee.
1.-The emergency situation sur
rounding the livestock industry"
said the announcement, was largely
the basis for the conclusions of the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
who suggested that while the pres
ent rates were not of themselves un-
reasonable it would be well if reduc-
ton of 20 per cent in the present live
stock rates were undertaken, except on
horses and mules, observing as mini
/ mum rate Of so cents per 100 pounds on
all live stock"
The reduction, Mr.. Robinson said.
will be made by all lines operating
west of Chicago.

BERLIN. September 1o.-But for

Erzberger, Germany might today be
a monarchy.
Many indications have come to
light to show that a monarchist coup
was in preparation. General apathy
had greeted the republics birthday.

Even in the face of all this the peo-

every symptom indicating speedy
return to kaiserism. The court party
must have inspired its chief with
this expectation. otherwise Wilhelm,

foolhardy courage, would scarcely

risked offending the Dutch govern
ment as breach Of the promise given
when asylum was granted to him.
Then. next day came the assassina-
tion of Erzberger, proving once more
the enduring stupidity OF the military
monarchist caucus. Instantly. al
though the newspapers scarcely
peeped. and some to Germany's shame
actually gloated. the industrial work
ers rose up. Half million Of them
paraded before the palace where once
the kaiser lived. Berlin never be-
fore saw such a demonstration. All
of these men and women. even the
communists, kept perfect order. and
the speakers made no incendiary ap-
peals. But all resolved unitedly to
tolerate no longer these murders and
to save the republic from a praetor-
ship or Camorra.
Sentiment Changed.
These industrial workers had not
rested from their days labors and
postponed their evening meal, mind
ing not the long march and seeming
to say. I'VE are here to prevent our

PAY WITHOUT WORK !

Communists Finding Fruitful
Field Among Britain''s
Unemployed.
BY GEORGE N. BARNES, NJ. p
British Parliament Leader.

By Radio to The Star.
LONDON, September 10.-Communist
propagandists today are finding q
fruitful field for their activities in the
ranks of Britain's vast army OF the
unemployed.
Organized labor having committed
itself to the principle of state work
or state maintenance." the more ire
sponstble members are concentrating
on the second part of the FORMULA and
are pressing a demand for full main
tenance out of the rates collected
under the poor law. Some boards of
guardians have conceded good deal
Of the demand. with the inevitable re-
suit OF cry for more.
Lecnl. Board Imprisoned.
Meantime one local board refused to
impose the levy of the London county
council because they held 1t to be not
justly chargeable to the local tax
payers. They demanded that the rates
be equalized all over London and that
part of the burden. So. for contempt
of the court which ordered them to
comply with the precepts of statutory
authority, they have been clapped into
prison. George Lansbury is among
them.
This has brought up old and acute
controversies, including that of in.
cidence of ratings between landlord
and tenant. And inasmuch as the ideas
of Henry George on that subject have
| sunk deep into the minds of the Eng.
lish people, there may be some in.
