HUGE ALLIANCE.
OF RAIL and Mine
UNIONS PLANNED
representatives of $780,
900 Workers to Confer
In Week or So.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-Representa
tives of 100000 railroad workers
and approximately 5O0e60 coal
miners will meet within ten days
| to discuss an alliance to comba,
wage reductions it was learned
here Wednesday.
The sixteen standard railroad
| unions Will accept the invitation
of John l.. Lewis, president OF the
United Mine Workers of America
for a conference to discuss an al
! lance, according to d. w. Helt
president of the brotherhood OF
railway signalmen.
II have just received tho state
ment of Mr.. lewis" said Helt
This matter has been formally dis
! cussed by she executives of the
railroad workers before. As the
invitation is now extended form
ally. the railroad union executives
will now consider IL formally
While l do not know how the other
executives feel about such an al
liance as Mr.. Lewis suggests, I can
say that the conference he asks
will be granted. What will come
OF this conference l naturally can
not say. Whether anything comes
of IT, it will be an important step
as we know that the railroad presi-
dents are combining to further
their intention of cutting wages
and 1t can be understood why we
may wish to take action to pro-
tect ourselves.
IF such an alliance were to be
formed. it would not be 50 much
for the purpose of general strike
,,nitad
action, as it would be for self
defense
Helt added that the brotherhoods
and shop crafts and other railway
unions would probably meet with
in ten days to discuss the sug-
gestion of Lewis for a conference.
He said he thought that the meet
ing would be held here.
Whether any action is taken by
the conference to form an alliance
between the railroad unions and
the coal miners, the meeting will
be regarded as one of the most sig-
nificant labor gatherings ever held
in the United States.
The contracts of the miners with
the coal operators expire on March
81. Lewis has served notice that
any wage cut at that time will be
met by a strike. and anthracite
workers have entered a counter
blow by demanding a substantial
wage increase. That there will be
general coal strike in April. or
earlier, is regarded at this time
as almost certain.
At the same time the railroad eX-
ecutives are preparing to file re-
quests for wage cuts ranging from
10 per cent for the four-train serv-
ice brotherhoods to IS per cent for
shop and unskiiled labor. with the
railroad board by April z. Some of
the roads have already filed re-
quests for wage cuts, but none of
them has asked reductions on all
classes of labor. so. the movement
cannot be. said to be formally
launched.
It is not believed by many Of
the best-informed railroad men
that the big four brotherhoods
win accept the offer of an alliance

ARMS CONFERENCE
'HASAVERTED WAR,
SIMONDS ASSERTS
End Of Naval Competi.
ton Held Also as Great
Achievement.
By FRANK H. SIMONDS.

While certain minor details re-
main to be adjusted and another
plenary session will be needed to
close UP the conference, the ses-
sion yesterday in reality termi-
mates the work and. therefore. calls
for some preliminary examination
Of the tasks accomplished and tho
success or failure of the conference
itself, viewed in the light of what
had been expected of II.
What, after all. was the main
purpose of the Washington con-
ference? 1t was twofold. In sum-
moning the representatives Of the
various nations Presidene Harding
| had in mind two distinct sets of
problems. There was the immedl-
ate question OF arms and policies
In the Pacific affecting the United
States directly. There was, in ad-
dition. the question of the world
conditions as affected by the world
ornaments.
Adjusted by Four-Power Treaty.
To deal with the first question;
There was in the Pacific an unrnis-
taxable rivalry growing up be-
tween Japan ana the United States.
an antagonism which expressed it,
self alike in increasing naval ar
mament in in growing tension. The
situation was, moreover, accentC-
ated by the existence of an Anglo
Japanese alliance. Allied to 1t. too.
was the problem OF Anglo-Ameri
can naval competition, only indi-
rectly related to the question of
the Pacific. Since these problems
could not be separated. a single
settlement had 10 be found.
What then is the solution? First
Of all. we have. as is logical. ar
rived at a political adjustment. a
two-fold political adjustment. By a
four-power treaty, France being in
cluded at the request of Mr..
Hughes. we have agreed with Brit
ain and with Japan to respect ter
ritorial rights throughout the re-
gion of the Pacific Ocean and to
confer in case of differences be-
tween any of the four powers or in
case of difference between one Of
the four powers and another ma
ton not signatory to the treaty.
Reneunces Right to Fortffy.
In the second place. and relying
upon this guarantee Of mutual re-
spect. the United States has con-
sented to renounce the right to
fortify all Its insular possessions
west of Hawaii. including the
Aleutian Islands. Guam. the Philip
pines and Samoa.
This means in fact that the
United States has retired it's naval
frontier to the longitude Of Hawaii.
but our sacrifice is accompanied by
similar. II not quite as considerable
concessions on the part Of Japan
and Great Britain and Is based upon
the treaty OF guarantee which I
have already mentioned ,-.......-..
In addition. we have agreed with
the other two Pacific powers TO q
relative strength OF battleships,
that Is in fighting fleets. which elm
mates all present competition In
that arm which at the moment
represents the weapon of offense,
Thus we have eliminated the ele-
ment Of naval competition, not
alone between Japan and the Unit
ed States but also between Great
Britain and ourselves, and Britain.

consented to recognizing equality

ABOUT GIVING RECOMMEN-
DATIONS

The receipt Of numbers Of in.
quiries concerning persons who
are applying for positions re-
minds us Of the serious injustice.
to both applicant and would be
employer, Of forming an Off
hand opinion and reporting like
wise, without the thought OF
care Of the consequences. We
should go to the very bottom
Of the matter, or decline to re
ply. The truth will come out
later, so we might as well try to
give it in the beginning.
To prove that you cannot al
ways tell what's in a man hy
looking at him or having knowl-
edge of his birth and early en-
vironment, we quote this week 5
Golfers on the subject Of min
ister's sons. It says:
"Of $4,000 prominent men in
the United States, 1000 are sons
Of preachers. In 1910, ten out
Of every fifty-one persons in the
Hall of Fame were sons Of
preachers.
And, in commenting, they say
that they have always been Of
the opinion heretofore that min
ister's sons never amounted to
anything, and that nearly every
time they had checked themsel-
YES up on an offhand opinion
they had found that they had
been wrong all the time, and ad-
vised their readers to refuse to
let baseless opinions lead them
astray.
This shows clearly the serious
fault Of giving recommendations
without a full knowledge Of the
person we are recommending. If
he or she is worthy, then, o.
course, we are very desirous Of
doing all we can to aid the per
son, but, on the other hand, if
the applicant for a position, or a
home, is not what he or she
should be, we should certainly
not let an innocent, trustful
and unsuspecting person suffer
the consequences. And how,
pray explain, can we give ac-
curate testimony, if we have not
the knowledge?
If you cannot state positively
what you know Of a person about
whom you have had an inquiry,
it is, in our opinion, better to say
nothing.
You certainly cannot accurate
ly form an opinion from the
birth or early surroundings, for
thousands Of self-made men ana
women, who are worthy the best
recommendations Of any person,
have proven that, while these
handicaps have a bearing on on-,
he CAN surmount them and pe
as big, as great and as good as
anybody.

Delinquent Poll Tax
Collected by Sheriff

! County Treasurer Sarilda McKeown
has turned over to Sheriff w. H.
Graham the names of 5631 Stevens
county residents who have not yet
paid their 1922 poll tax of $5 per
head.
| The sheriff has sent out 5000 post
al card notices to these delinquents,
and will proceed to make collection.
It has been found that some people
believed the poll tax was only to be
collected for the one year Of 1921.
This may have resulted from the
excuse given by some politicians
that the poll tax was to pay for the
soldier bonus.
Some other residents have stated
that they thought the law had been
killed. This may have come from
the fact than an initiative law is pro-
posed for the fall election to kill the
poll tax law.
Delinquents who have real estate
will have the poll tax certified
against their real estate, and will
pay 1879 interest on the delinquency
the same as personal property delin-
uuency,

Great Northern Traffic

greatly reduced the traffic into and
out of Colville. The car shortage
will probably continue as long as
the strike is on, so little relief is
anticipated by the local office. Pas
senger trains have been arriving late

formerly carried by two trains.
