Lords Propose Relief.

London, Aug. 1.-THE Russian
famine was discussed in the House Of
Lords today.
Several members advocated the sys-
tenn employed in India in coping
with similar visitations, namely, the
establishment Of large famine camps
on the great lines of migration, where
the people could be retained until the
return of normal conditions permit
ted their restoration to their native
villages where means could be adopt
ed in the meantime to preserve the
framework of village life.
Lord MacDonnell thought that the
Government ought to make grant

from melting their followers to

Australian Labor Congress Takes
Advanced Position and NewP Policies
FAVORABLE ACTION TAKEN ON METHODS TO UNITE ALL
RADICALS FOR OVERTHROW OF CAPITALISM


{, Melbourne, Australia.-The ALL
Australia National Congress of Trades
F! Unions opened at Melbourne on June
20. 1t was the most important gather
/ ing of trade unionists in the industrial
history of that city. Over 500 dele
gates were present, representing all
organizations throughout Australia.
The congress aims at outlining a
policy for the workers that will not
I! only claim the allegiance Of all ad-
vanced reformers, but will ensure the
necessary enthusiasm to enable such a
policy to be carried into effect. 1t was
made plain that clearly-defined in
dustrial policy was absolutely neces-
sary, and that without such policy
chaos confronted the workers, while
with such policy everything was
possible.
E. j. Holloway (president Of the
Australian Labor partly presided,
and in lengthy opening address
traced the international situation.
Points from his speech were as fol-
lows:
"In every country the specialization
of industry had been demanded. Work
councils had been appointed in Ger
many, though class distinctions still
remained. In Italy the workers tried
to give effect to their ideals by force,
but failed and had to compromise
with the employers. True, they had q
certain amount of industrial control
| Though capitalism was compromising
all along the line it was still in force
except in Russia.
"In France the workers went for
a clear-cut Socialist community. They
stood for the socialization of all the
agencies Of wealth production
scheme of industrial naturalization
with administration in the hands OF
experts.
/ "The world was seething with dis.
/ content. Workers everywhere were
Iiemanding q Big chance. T6mAks 'shl
great change from capitalism to So
cialism in Australia, all sections mus,
come together. Miftarism must end
Australian workers must link with
those Of other countries and put ar
end to all secret war and peace
treaties. The Australian workers in
tended to repudiate every secret treaty
made in the name of Australia by
enemies of the workers"
Little Faith in Parliament.
1t was maintained that the present
parliamentary system perpetuated the
capitalist system and was Of no real
use to the workers, though it might
be used for propaganda purposes
After lengthy debate the following
motion was made: "The specialization
of industry, production, distribution
and exchange to be the objective Of
the Australian Labor party" Dele.

100000 IS TAKEN
IN MAIL ROBBERY

DETROIT, Oct. S.-Several sus-
poets were held by police today in
connection with the robbery here Of
a Canadian government truck of
twenty-six mail pouches. Authori-
ties today checked up on the loot,
which they believed would total
close to 100000. All but three OF
the pouches were supposed to have
contained registered matter.
One of the stolen pouches Is said
to have contained the days receipts
Of the Kenilworth race track in Wind
sor. Other pouches carried valuable
securities Consigned from Canadian
banks to Detroit financial institu-
lions.
Authorities are convinced that the
bandits had information from some
one inside the mail service regard
ing the value Of the mail sacks on
the truck.
William r. MacAuley, driver of the
truck, had left the ferry only a few
minutes before the robbery, and was
driving toward the postoffice, when
an auto drove up alongside Of his
truck and he was commanded to turn
into an alley. He drove up the alley
which had been blocked at the far
end by an auto. The messenger was
ordered from the wagon and stood
facing a wall with two pistols OF a
guard punching his back while the
other three robbers threw the mail
pouches into their auto.

School Bond Issue
Favored in Waycross

WAYCROSS, Ga, Oct. 8.-That the
citizens are heartily in favor of the
issuance of 100000 in bonds to as
sist in relieving the congested con-
ditions in the local schools Is evil
denced by the number Of answers re-
ceived to a referendum sent out this
week by Superintendent of Schools
Miller.
The referendum contains two ques-
tions, in addition to a statement of
the condition of the schools. The
questions are:
would you vote and work for a
bond issue Of 100000 for school pur-
poses?"
would you vote to Increase the tax
limit for the public school system?"
over 1000 were sent out by the
students to the patrons of the school
and practically rwo-thirds of the
number were returned by Thursday
morning. The result shows that the
number opposed to SUCH an issue is
so small that it is hardly noticeable.
A special election will probably be
called to decide whether or not the
bond issue will be floated The
schools are over-crowded in every
classroom and conditions are such
that it is practically impossible for
satisfactory work to be accomplish

last month by Frank Rawlins during
an attempt at robbery. The court an

Va, and one Of the most widely
known theatrical men in the south,

while Hickman was checking up the
box office receipts with Ebert Har-
rison, treasurer Of the theater, Raw
Inns entered the managers office and
ordered Hickman and Harrison to
throw up their hands.

pulled the trigger, several times,
the pistol failing to fire.

rency and left the theater only to be
arrested half a block away by a po-
liceman, who, ignorant of the killing
and robbery, took him in charge be-
officer was Informed Of the killing
and robbery a few moment later, and
Rawlins admitted that he was re-
sponsible. The money was found in
his pocket.
The vaudeville show was in prog
ress at the time of the killing and
robbery. but none of the 1000 per-
sons in the audience was aware of
it until 1t was announced from the
stage
Rawlins maintained for several
days that he was alone In attempting
the robbery, but later stated that
Pope had planned it, along with sew
eral other hold-ups, which were to
take place later, the theater robbery
being the first Of series. Pope was
indicted jointly with Rawlins for
murder in the first degree, and after
Of venue succeeded in obtaining q
severance. He was placed on trial
first, with Rawlins as the principal
state witness
Pope is regarded as one of the
most able criminal lawyers in the
