However, the first. move has been
made. Nations are beginning to
think along right lines. Their diplo-
mats and rulers are in the proper
channel Of thought, and the world
hopes they will: keep right on from
such a good beginning. The people
everywhere want no more war. The

taken. World anarchy must give

Mr.. Hughes has started right. His

Getting back to the proposal OF
Mr.. Hughes, he gives among, others
two reasons therefore. One ia; that
the race Of competitive armaments
causes too heavy 4 tax burden. The
other IL that there is serious ques-
tion whether the ships we are build
ing will be any good for war pur-
poses after they are built. -.

Department Of Conference
Says They Are Risky Because
Of Low Currency Value.

WASHINGTON, Nov, 1.-THE de-
partment Of commerce has issued a
warning against buying foreign bonds
payable in deprecated currencies in
the expectation Of realizing enormous
profits when exchange values return
TO- normal. Certain banking ana
broker concerns are dealing in these
bonds. and are urging the people
to invest their small savings. The
bonds referred to especially are Ger
many, Austria, Poland, Czecho-Slo-
vakia; Rumania, Jugo-Slovakia and
Hungary.
The department of commerce says
that even with the low price some
Of these bonds are sold, that price
is high in view of the actual ex-
change rate of the given currency.
Instances are cited of the great dis
parity between the sale Of the adver-
tised securities in terms Of. dollars
and; the price at which they could
be purchased with American money
in the foreign country. This diff
ference is pocketed by the banker or
broker.

iday. That is to say there will be
ten years delay before any new ves-
sells are added to the fleets Of any
of the three nations. In addition
to that it limits new construction
after ten years to replacement Of ships
20 years or more old and it places
restrictions on the size Of such ves-
sels.
None can doubt the genuineness Of
the American proposal. It is the first
practical step ever taken in behalf
OF limitation Of ornaments. It marks
an epoch in history. It opens the
dawn Of a new era, an era when
the world will be thinking more in
terms of peace than OF war.
If the world gets in the habit Of
thinking about peace, working for
peace and building for peace it will
give force to the will to have peace.
That implies as g. basis the estab-
fishing Of confidence and trust be-
tween and among nations. without
which there is very little hope even
In the wrecking Of warships or the
reduction of armies.
Nearly all the world is now demo-
cratically organized. The people Of
every nation have: in a. measure con.
troll over their own government. At
least they are in possession of the
tools out OF which democratic gov.
:ernments are made. The intelligent

Who would have thought it? Even
the skeptics were knocked off their
feet when Charles E. Hughes, Sec
retary OF state and chairman of the
international conference on the lim-
itation Of armament, threw a bomb
into the meeting by doing the thing
that many Americans hoped but few
believed would be done.
The American offer, presented by
Mr.. Hughes, has surprised the world.
1t makes memorable the opening of
the conference. It contains a. defi-
mite scheme for the limitation of naval
strength and armament. 1t is refresh
ing to know that Great Britain will
back the American offer and that
the Japanese delegation is favorable,
but 1t is restrained from over-com-
m1tt1ng itself until approval is given
by the Toxic government.
The American plan, and it is the
kind of American plan the working
people will approve. calls for the COM
plete abandonment Of the new con-
struction programs of the United
States, Great Britain and japan, the
destruction Of huge ships Of war now
being built and, in case Of Japan, the
destruction Of completed vessels.
1T provides for a ten-year naval hol-

UNIONS TO FORM
BOARD Of TRADE
Representative Meeting Votes
TO Authorize Attorney to Draw
Up Articles.

The labor board of trade is go.
At meeting held in AKA hall Tues
day evening attended by SO delegates
voted to authorize Attorney A. G. Nc
Knight to draw up articles of incor-
poration, after which a meeting will
be held to take steps to organize.
The meeting was representative of
the best and most practical thought
in the local labor movement. Thom
as Chalmers of the Public Service en-
ployes' union was nominated and
elected chairman of the meeting. Miss
Seymour of the Labor Temple associ-
alton was selected as secretary.
Attorney Mcknight explained in
detail the manner Of organization and
the law. He hard spent some time in
st. Paul studying the operation of the
Union Board of Trade there and he
became thoroughly familiar with
every detail Of the organization. He
admitted that he went to st. Paul
somewhat skeptical, but returned be-
lieving it was a workable proposition.
The delegates grasped the import
of such an organization and lost no
time in authorizing Mr.. Mcknight to
draft articles of Incorporation. The
first unit Of the labor corporation will
be the board of trade to be organized
under the board of trade act of this
state. This organization will be cor
trolled wholly by union labor. Out of
it will branch several other corpora
tions, among them building and loan
association with its savings feature.
Next will come a construction COM
pany which will build the houses,
loans for which will be made by Inc
building and loan association. The
Union Service company will also he
constituent to the Board Of Trade. 1t
will write insurance, deal in real es-
tate, examine abstracts, furnish bonds
and other work
The "open shop" aggregation of
contractors, real estate agents and
others in Duluth who figured that
they could beat labor on the indus
trial field will find in the new plan of
the unions business competition that
will make them sit up and take notice.

MINING POLICE
CAUSED TROOPS
TO. PUT LID. ON
Colonel Ford Of United States
Army So Testifies Before
Senate Committee. a

WASHINGTON, Nov. '17.-Colonel
Ford Of the United States army, told
the senate West Virginia probe COM
mittee that the coal owners deputy
sheriffs are responsible for federal
troops stopping marching miners in
that state.
Colonel Ford was General Band
holtz's chief of staff. The latter was
In command of the troops.
Prior to Colonel Ford's testimony
it was developed that under martial
law in Logan county many union min.
ers were arrested without warrants
and held in Jail without hearings.
Many witnesses, including Attorney
General England Of West Virginia,
agreed that civil law had broken down
in the anti-union mining section Of
the state and ): lite and county author
tiles in these sections were super
ceded by the mine owners private po-
lice. It was to end this condition
that the miners started to march on
Logan county.
Colonel Ford told the senators that
the miners had been halted by their
union executives and were peaceably
returning to their homes when
small army of state police and Logan
county deputy sherif4s raided the
union mining town of Sharples at
midnight, under the pretext Of serv-
ing some warrants and killed two
union m embers.
This outrage aroused the indigna-
tion Of miners and citizens in other
walks OF life and precipitated the
second march upon Mingo county
which caused the intervention of fed
eral troops. -.
Cross of coal owners
showed their enormous profits during
the war. One coal owner admitted
a gross profit of more than $1,000
900 in a. single year. This is at the
rate of 60 per cent on his Investment,
yet the witness and his associates de.
ny miners the right to organize, be-
cause they say, lit interferes with
efficiency
>Uncontradicted testimony proved
that coal owners in ahti-union ter
ritory control sheriffs and other
county 'pfficia1s: pay the wages OF
deputy sheriffs; own the school
houses and churches and pay the SAL
aries Of school teachers and minis.
ters: own the streets and prohibit
the right free speech; order union
organizers out Of the county and as
sault them if they resist and dis
charge and evict from their homes all
miners who join labor organiza-
ton.
The miners have presented a basis.
OF settlement which guarantees con-
St1tutiOnal rights. and aCcOrds men
the right to join trade union or not,
as they elect. ~
The coal owners rejected this Of
fer, and their attorney has notified
the senate committee that the coal
owners will maintain their anti.union
attitude regardless of the president
of the United States, the senate COM
mittee "or any other tribunal"

$S3,t65,867, due holders of Liberty
bonds, is in the United States treas
ury. Officials believe many trade
unionists who invested their savings
In these bonds are not collecting in
terest. Neither the government nor
bond holders derive any benefit from
this vast amount of unclaimed in

bond holders to clip the coupons when
due and take them to any bank for
collection.
Persons holding temporary bonds
should exchange them for permanent

It is stated that there are outstand-

of various denominations, amounting
to $1,132,73o.200, in the hands of
owners who have not exchanged them
