The New York journal of Com
merce thinks that "it can lie definitely
set down that the foreign nations want
and expect to have their debts can
celed in whole or in part" and that,
on the other hand. Congress seems to
be determined to exact a recognition
and, if possible a full settlement of
them.
1.-The truth" says the same observer,
sis that the foreign debt question is a
suppressed conference ISSUE"
From other sources it is reported
that Mr.. Lloyd George is once more
about to propose international debt
cancellation, and that Secretary Melon
has found it needful quite at the last
moment to call halt on the Senate
debt-funding bill, because he has word
that some of the foreign countries
which would be affected could not ex-
pect to settle their Indebtedness on
the basis outlined in the measure now
before the Senate committee.
AS The Spokesman-Review long ago
pointed out, it is futile for the Euro
pean governments that borrowed $780,
900, 100000 from us during the war
and now owe us an additional ST.
900, ,000, 900 in interest to think that
the United States will be SO easy as
to cancel that obligation without COM
pensation.
The outcome of the Versailles peace
treaty was that the United States got
neither indemnity nor territory, while
England and France acquired both
money and territorial possessions.
In the World war we gave every
thing lavishly and received nothing.
Now we are asked, and even nagged,
to cancel the s11,O0O, 100000 owing to
us by European governments. They

NON-UNION
MINERS ARE
UNIONIZING

Many people are wondering why
the non-union miners are beginning
TO unionize, now that the union min
ers are on strike The reason is very
simple. During the time the union
miners are at work the non-union
operators are able to hold q heavy
hand over the miners in the non-union
field. They use every un-American
method possible to intimidate the
workmen and owing to the fact that
work is scarce in the union fields the
non-union miner puts up with any
thing from the operator.
Now that the union. miners are on
strike the operator wants to hold the
non-union miner and to do SO he
must handle him with care. The nom
union miner knows, that now he has
the whip hand, the union organizer
can get him to listen, without fear Of
the boss firing him. The non-union
operators are not taking any chances
in losing a miner so they have to be
very careful. There is not a place In
the country where the miners do not
want union, but there are places
where it is more than a mans life
Is worth to even dream about union.
The miners strike or rather lockout
has given the non-union miners their
chance and they are taking advantage
Of it.

COAL OWNERS SELL.

bogus independent operators and
faxed sales, sell coal many times and
charge profit each time. said Nelaon
r. Gaskill, chairman Of the federal

The federal trade commission, he
said, knows Of numerous instances
where a single car load VI coal has
been sold ~ times without delivery
being made to any Of the "purchas-
era" but with all Of them exaeting q

The witness urged an Investigation

producing companies often own the
coal they produce down through the
various hands to retail distribution,
but cover up this fact by bewilder-
ing system of bookkeeping.

Il would seem the Twin City Fed

The committee has already secured
the fair grounds to hold the celebra-
ton and are working out a program
that will pull the biggest crowd ever
gathered in Champaign county for a
similar event. The outline as an
nounced calls for an all day celebra-
ton at the grounds and eliminates
the parade. In that way no one will
be "all in" from a long march.
In the morning the usual games,
races and contests for the youngsters
will be held. In the afternoon there
win be a Labor Day address, auto
and horse racing, vaudeville, boxing
and wrestling and stunt flying. AT
night there will be a grand boxing
and wrestling bout, vaudeville, and a
big display of fireworks. The Asso-
ciated Musicians will arrange special
band and orchestra music both day
and night.
In all probability at night there will
be a world championship wrestling
bout. The committee Is In comlnuni-
