NATIONAL LEGISLATION

One of the first acts of congress In
the year was the passage of the foreign
debt refunding bill, with a limit for
payment set at 25 years. The house
in January also passed the Dyer anti
lynching bill, but it got no further until
December, when the Democrats in the
senate filibustered it to death. The
cooperative marketing bill was enact
ed in February. On March % the
house passed the soldiers bonus bill
and, after a long and bitter fight, it
emit through the senate on August 81.
President Harding had warned con-
gress the measure was entirely unac-
ceptable to him, chiefly because it pro-
vided no means of raising the money
to pay the bonus, and on September 10
he vetoed it. The house overrode the
veto, but the senate sustained it. The
agitation for such legislation was In
cessant, however. and new bills were
introduced before the year closed.
Appropriation oilrs for the army and
navy, providing for $4,000 and $4,000
enlisted men, respectively, were
passed; and $17,O0O,0O0 was appropri-
ated for soldiers hospitals.
The tariff revision bill of course
took a long time In the making. 1t
finally was completed and was signed
by the President on September 81.
One notable feature is provision CIV
ing the President power to lower or
raise certain rates when he thinks con-
ditions of foreign trade warrant.
Congress adjourned on September
%, and as 1t had failed to take any ac-
ton on a ship subsidy measure, the
President called an extra session to
meet on November 20, mainly to con-
slider such a bill. The house passed
it on November %. The extra session
merged into the regular session on De
cember 4.
In his message to congress Presi-
dent Harding called for strict enforce
ment of the prohibition law, thor
oughgoing agricultural credit system,
Improvement of transportation and
outlawing of railroad strikes and pro-
vision for drafting In war all national
resources. The ship subsidy bill ran
up against determined opposition in
the senate. The house on December

Momentous events and developments
marked the year 1922, both at home
and abroad. In America these 1nclud-
ed the great strikes Of coal miners and
railroad shopmen; the passage by con-
gress of a new tariff bill, and the gen.
eral defeat of the Republican party in
the November elections. Among the
most noteworthy events elsewhere
were the establishment Of the Irish
Free State; the election OF new
pope; the rout of the Greeks in Asia
Minor and the regeneration Of the
Turkish state, followed by the Near
East peace conference at Lausanne;
the downfall Of Prime Minister Lloyd
George, and the triumph of the Fas-
cisti In Italy.
Although the people of the United
States enjoyed a fair amount of pros
perity throughout the year, they were
discontinued and dissatisfied, and
showed it when they went to the polls
In November. Seemingly they did not
like the new tariff law, and the big
strikes and the matter of prohibition
enforcement also had their effect then.
Economic and financial conditions in
some of the European countries,
showed little or no Improvement, due
in part to the continued state Of I'M
settlement concerning the German rep
arations and to the renewed turmoil in
the Near East Other countries, nota-
bly, Italy and Czechoslovakia, moved
definitely toward sterilization and
prosperity. Communism and socialism
suffered tremendous setback in Italy
when the Fascist rebelled against
those doctrines and took over the con-
troll Of the government.
AS in 1921, December was marked
by an international conference in
Washington, for President Harding
had invited the Central American re-
publics 10 send delegates there to dis
euss limitation of ornaments and
ether questions. They met On Deem

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

January found the great powers still
engaged in formulating treaties and
agreements in the Washington confer
ence on ornaments and Pacific ocean
problems, and on February l the dele
gates. in plenary session, adopted the
five-power naval limitation treaty with
an agreement on Pacific Notifications ;
passed resolutions declaring the open
door In China, and approved a treaty
for the restriction of the use Of poison
gas and submarines in warfare. AT
the same time, Mr. Balfour announced
that Great Britain would restore Wei
Hai.Wei to China Three days later
the conference approved a number Of
treaties designed to restore to China
some of her lost liberties and passed
q resolution for the creation of an in
ternational commission to revise the
rules of warfare. On February 8 the
delegates signed all the treaties and
the conference adjourned sine die, and
in four days President Harding sub
mitted the treaties to the senate.
BY the enS of March the senate had
ratified all these treaties, as well as
one with Japan, by which the trou
blesome question of American rights
on the island of zap was settled. Great
Britain and Japan also, in the course
Of time, ratified the conference pacts,
and, like the United States, took steps
toward putting into effect the terms
of the treaty on naval limitation. But
France, more interested in her own
troubles connected with the German
PREPARATIONS and with the developments
in the Near East, delayed action, and
her example was followed by several
smaller nations. Thus the full effect
of some Of the treaties was lost for the
time being.
Rehabilitation of Europe, economic
and financial, was the great problem
that confronted the world and, of
course, its solution depended to a con-
siderable extent on settlement of the
German Preparations matter. This had
not been reached when the year came
to q close. The allied commission, an
international bankers committee and
various individuals struggled with the
question throughout the twelve
months, but it would be tedious to tell
in detail of their efforts. The Germans
steadily maintained that complete en-
forcement of the treaty of Versailles
would ruin Germany and be disastrous
for the rest of Europe, although Doc
tor Wirth, the chancellor. held that
Germany must and would ultimately
pay the Preparations bill. Berlin insist
ed that long moratorium be granted
on all the payments and that an inter-
national loan to Germany be arranged.
France, depending on the PREPARATIONS
money for reconstruction and continu-
ally on the verge OF bankruptcy, would
not listen to propositions for the re.
duction of the war bill, and from time
to time made preparations to put into
effect sanctions against Germany, such
as occupying the Ruhr district and the
national forests In the Rhineland. AL

LABOR AND INDUSTRIAL


Bulking large in the affairs of Amer
lea were the two big strikes, OF the
railway shopmen and the coal miners.
In effect at the same time, they serl-
ously threatened the national we'll
being by disrupting traffic and causing
a countrywide shortage Of fuel.
Unable to reach an agreement with
the mine operators on the wage scale'
the miners, both anthracite and Dltu-
minous, went on strike April l. In
June and July President Harding con-
ferred with representatives OF Doth
sides, and proposed that the men re-
turn to work at the old wages and that
the new scale be arbitrated. His plan
being rejected, he told the operators
to reopen their mines under protecuon
of federal troops and the flag In only
few cases was this done. Inere
were numerous local conflicts and some
killings, and the price of coal threat
ened to become extortionate. 10 pre-
vent profteering the government
adopted a plan for the supervision OF
production and distribution of coal on
July "a. Operators and miners OF the
bituminous fields met at Cincinnati ana
on August Is signed an agreement
ending the strike, the men winning VII
tually all their demands. A similar
settlement of the anthracite strike was
made on September 2. 1t was ADMIT
ted that the root of the trouble had not
been reached and that another strike
in the spring Of 1923 was almost Ger
tainty Since there was still great
shortage Of coal, Conrad e. Spens was
appointed federal fuel director on Sep
TENDER %.
The railway strike followed an order
of the federal railway labor board, Is
sued June 6, reducing the wages OF the
shopmen about $c0,0000O0 a year.
Other rail employees had their pay cut
proportionately, but the shopmen were
chosen to- make the fight. They quit
work on July 1, and two days later
were "outlawed' by the board. On
July IA they were reinforced by the
stationary engineers, firemen and OIL
ers. From the beginning the admins
tration strove to bring about settle
ment, but both sides were stubborn,
the restoration of seniority rights be-
ing the main stumbling block. Presi-
dent Harding warned the strikers
against interference with mails or In
terstate transportation, and the agen-
cies Of the government were active In
enforcing his orders. Finding they
could not tie up traffic, the strikers In
many regions resorted to extreme vio-
lence, and even to murder. In the Far
West some Of the Brotherhood of
Trainmen members co-operated with
them until called off by their chiefs
Several trains loaded with passengers
were abandoned in the deserts. Final
ly the government struck vital blow
at the strike. Attorney General Daugh-
erty, on September /, obtained from
Judge Wilkerson in Chicago sweep
ing order restraining the shop crafts
from interfering in any way with the
operation of the railways. Two weeks
later the strike was broken when
many railroads negotiated separate
agreements with the shopmen.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS

With Michael Collins as its head,
the provisional government of the Irish
Free State was established In Janu-
airy, after Dali Eireann had accepted
the treaty with England and De Valera
had refused to accede. Immediately
the republicans, now rebels, started a
warfare that lasted throughout the
year and was marked by innumerable
assassinations and other outrages.
The Free State forces gradually gained
possession Of most of the territory
where the rebels were strong and the
fighting degenerated into bushwhack-
