night at the convention headquarte,s
Of President Samuel Gompers, who
made public a copy OF a letter sent to
the secretariat of the European trade
union movement at Amsterdam.

insulting recent communication
from the international federation ask
ing the council to reconsider its ac-
tions in Withdrawing its utilization,
MIR. Gompers, on behalf of the coun-
Gil, in the letter said:
Insofar as our affiliation with

Trade Unions ut the present time is
concerned we must repeat the for
mer declarations made in our COM
munications to you. emphasize them,
IL possible. and await the hour at
which 1t may be possible to fulfill
our hopes of a united movement on a
basis that accOrds with the philoso-
ply of democracy, with autonomy for
all, freedom for all and common
goal of a better time for all the toll
ers and all the people"
Reviewing the alleged revolution
airy activities and war manifestos of
the international which caused the
councilt to sever connections with the
European movement several months
ago The American labor chief further
stated that American labor must de

proclamations as truly expressive of
the sentiments of the whole trade
union movemnt of Europe"
The federation unanimously repu-
dated the zone big union" idea.

confusion when several delegates by
objections denied the negro delegates
permission to introduce a resolution

"Iilu Klux Khan or White Caps" of
the South.
President Samuel Gompers had
great difficulty in restoring order,
as nearly a score of delegates jumped
from their seats and demanded the
names of the delegates who had OBJ
jected.
He declined to give the names. AS
the confusion increased, President
William Hutchinson, of the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join
ers. arose and said: IF you want to
know who the objector is-it is l."
Several delegates called his name
aloud as the convention proceeded to
other business.

MANNEQUINS OBJECT TO
LENGTH OF DRESSES

Paris received a real shock when
the beautiful girls at the famous
dressmakers'' establishments who
wear the new creations in order to
show them, rebelled against showing
so much of their own person. One
of the girls who was discharged
when she objected that her sense of
modesty was outraged brought suit
for damages of $1,000, which act
threw a scare into the dressmakers.
other girls have organized to fight
the case to finish. The courts will
probably have to decide just how low
a gown may be cut before modesty
suffers.

900 francs to cover expenditures this
year. This is equivalent at normal
exchange to $4,000, 100000. He stat
ed that France was in a difficult but
not impossible situation if Germany
meets her obligations regularly and
France makes proper effort. The
report fixes the amount expectd from
Germany in 1921 as 15,130,000,0OO
francs, and that $4,000, 900, 900
francs chargeable to Germany has al
ready been spent. 1t is estimated
that reconstruction will be completed
in eight years, and That the cost af-
ter 1921 will be about 22,000,000,-
900 francs.

BOLSHEVIsM ON LAST LEGS

Many reports have been coming
out of Russia from various sources
indicating that the very men in
charge of the bolshevik government
have recognized its failure. Lenine
is said to have announced that COM
munism there is in complete bank
ruptcy," and has advised the return
of unlimited capitalism, with the
constitutional democrats to aid in
the rebuilding of the state. The
seizing of VladivOstok by anti-bol-
sheyist forces is regarded as an in
dication of the movement. Even
Trotzky is said to have confessed to
his doctor that he is failure.
Education in Russia is in pecu-
liar state of decentralization. Hector
Nicole, a Swiss, who made thorough
study under the guise Of a sylnpa-
thizer of the bOlsheyik system, de-
clares that education has broken
down. AT the age Of 10 children are
sent TO labor schools, and they fin

MANY DEATHS IN
U. 5. UNNECESSARY

According to Surgeon General
Cumming of the U. S. public health
service. at least 100000 out of the
1,25O,000 persons dying in one year
in this country could be saved by the
application of available medical
knowledge. For instance 900 per-
sons die annually of diphtheria, de-
spite the existence of an effective
antitoXin which could have saved
the life of practically all of them. In
like manner the annual typhoid toll
of 10000 lives could be avoided in
large measure, he declares.

Substantial Gain
In Textile Trade Noted

In cotton, wooden and silk goods
a substantial gain in volume of
business has been made since the
first of the year. 1t might be put
stronger than that, for almost any
buying would have been an i'm
provement upon conditions in re-
cember. Trade in wholesale mar
kets and also production have been
for several months not only below
normal, but below current retail
distribution. Stocks had been low
cred and the way cleared for at
least a moderate revival of buving
by the trade and of activity in the
industry. In cotton goods this has
been especially notable, and has eff
fected a slight recovery Of prices,
although there is but little disposi-
tion on the part of buyers to fol-
low an upward movement. In wool
en- goods there have been further
reductions of 20 to 80 per cent, fol-
lowing upon the cuts of about the
same = proportions in September.
Goods are moving in considerable
quantities, the attitude of merchants
being that they are wanting sup
plies for the spring trade, and are,
willing to buy on the present basis,
although not confident of a. very
large volume Of business. '-. 1f-

For Relief Cannot be Taken
Because of Differences.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The mill
ions of bushels of corn offered by
American farmers for relief of 49,
100000 starving people in China
cannot be accepted because of the
difficulty Of shipment and heavy ex-
penses which would be involved.
the American committee for China
fund announced today.
Grain and transportation experts
informed the committee that the
corn would spoil en- route unless it
was kiln dried. This would be ex-
pensiye, and even under the most
favorable circumstances it would
cost so cents a bushel to deliver
the corn at a Chinese port.
Representatives of the committee
in Pekin have found that because
of the American dollar now being
at a premium in China they can buy
food for almost immediate delivery
to Shanghai.

answer to the Board of Commission
ers yesterday, in reply to the boards
request that he give an interpreta-
ton of the police regulation for

The Commissioners wanted to find
out whether the rule applied to
Alaskan reindeer, which is being
shipped into the United states in
great quantities.
Stephens did some research work
and found that the reindeer was not
a wild animal, having been domesti-
Gated for centuries in Scandinavia,
and consequently could not be re-
garded as game. A detailed history
Of the reindeer was given in Ste
phens' Interpretation. He stated
that the meats taste was midway
between beef and mutton"
