cuNo CABINET RESIGNS AND
PoPuLIsT LEADER SUCCEEDS
TO POSITION

London.-The British government.
In the, publication of official cores
pondence with the allies since June,
placed on record its position with re-
gard to the German reparations prob
lem.
Lord Curzon, secretary of foreign af-
fairs, in an elaborate note dealing
with all the manifold aspects of the
problem, sets forth that the British
government regards the occupation OF
the Ruhr as Illegal and unauthorized
by the Versailles treaty, thus support
ing the German contention in this re-
spect. AT the same time, however, he
offers to submit the point to arbitra-
ton at The Hague or by some other
body.
While still adhering to tone of the
utmost courtesy and saying nothing
definite with regard to any separate
action on the part of Great Britain,
Lord Curzon emphasizes that Great
Britain cannot agree with the French
policy, which, he intimates, plainly
seems to point to an indefinite occu-
patton of the Ruhr.
Lord Curzon still leaves 1t to the
French government to suggest the
method of selecting an international
commission to examine into Germany's
capacity to pay reparations. but he
plainly declares that Great Britain
cannot accept the decision of the re-
parations commission on this matter,
since that commission has become the
mere instrument of Franco-Belgian
policy.
Berlin.-Three times communities at
Rotthausen, near Gelsenkirchen, erect
ed gallows with effigies of Chancellor
Cuno and Hugo SHINES swinging from
them, but each time the police tore
them down. The proceedings ended in
an ugly rush on the police by the
crowd, in which one policeman and
five of the demonstrators were killed
and ten wounded.
Provincial centers Of Germany re-
| port that the high food prices and
scarcity of money are leading to seri-
Gus trouble in many places. Thirteen
persons have been killed and number
wounded in collisions between the po-
lice and infuriated demonstrators at
Neurode, near Breslau. At Gletz, Sile-
| sia, riots We're suppressed easily, but
at Hanover three were killed and for
| ty wounded when the police attempted
to disperse crowds which were plum
dering the shops.
The general strike proclaimed by
the Communists in Berlin has brought
Il cessation of work in the municipal
plants, the gas and electricity supply
in some sections being cut off.
The resignation of Chancellor Will
helm Cuno and his entire cabinet hes
been accepted by President Ebert. DIR.
Gustav Stresemann, leader of the Ger
man peoples party, has been commits
stoned by President Ebert to form a
new government.
After accepting the task, Herr
Stresemann had conference with the
representatives of the various parties
The greatest difficulty seems to be in
connection with the foreign ministry
and 1t is believed possible that he will
take the post himself temporarily.

Railroads Ignore Law;
 Are Ordered to Pay Up

Washington, March 3O.-The Inter- state Commerce Commission has order ed all railroads to report their 1922 earnings. and pay, to the government under the Cummins-Esch law, one-half of the amount the roads earned in ex- cess of 6 per cent. profit, based on the commissions value of the investment. This morey is intended to be loaned to weaker roads.
 This order follows a recent decision by a New Orleans federal court which upheld this section of the transporta- tion act The court proceedings were watched by, every railroad fnancier and manager, as millions of dollars are involved.
 Railroads that have made in excess of 6 per cent. profit have not compiled with the law. No objection was raised against that section of the bill when it was pendino in Coneress. Then the big railroads wanted tie support of the little railroads

Leads in Textile Mills

Raleigh, N. C., March 3o.-This state has more textile mills than any other state in the Union, according to State Commissioner of Labor Ship man. While this state leads with 383 cotton mills, Massachusetts holds first place in the total value of textile pro- ducts manufactured, MT. Shipman said.
 Trade unionists are associating these figures with the present union ization agitation among textile work CTS. The textile manufacturers have made profits beyond their fondest dreams, but they pay no attention to employees, who at last are beginning to realize that they must depend up on themselves. The mill barons are using every device and appealing to every prejudice to stay this move ment but their efforts, of course, will fail because they run counter to economic necessity. Trade unionists are urging the far-sighted employers in the textile industry to accept this fact rather than waste time and en- ergy in quarreling.

 Owned By Foreigners

Galveston, Texas, March 3O.-Mexi- can citizens have been crowded of the oil lands of the country, and out of the Mexican oil industry, according to figures made public by the Mexi- can consul. It IS shown that Mexican citizens own but one per cent. of the oil lands of that country. and that they own and control but one and one tenth per cent. of the Mexican oil in- dustry.

British capital has $354,77o,19 invested, or 33.8 per cent. of the total; Holland has 67 per cent; France, Spain, Norway and Cuba combined hold the remaining value, sevdn- -tenths of one per cent.

Special Privilege
 Wants One-Man Rule

Washington, March 3o-Po1itical agents of privilege must know that their control of the next house of rep resentatives will be very uncertain as they are now whispering that Can nonism ought to be revived.
 These advocates of autocracy justi fy this position On the ground that the different elements in the next house will make 1t hard to pass legislation.
 The agents do not specify what sort of legislation will have rough sled ding, but details are unnecessary in this case. Give the speaker more power IS the plea of these agents, who want matters arranged as they were years ago when the people became so enraged over Cannonism that the au tocracy of the speaker of the house became a national issue and that pre- siding officer was shorn of his power.
 The attempt to revive Cannon1sm IS simultaneous with talk of revising the senate rules so that the fllibuster will be outlawed.
 With the senate ending the historic right of each senator to talk as long as he pleases, and with affairs in the house controlled by the speaker, as in the days of Cannonism, privilege would remain entrenched in both branches of the congress.
 The quiet agitation for these changes, and the absence of publicity regarding them, Indicate the resource fulness of privilege and it's ceaseless efforts to thwart the popular will.

 Ut will take but few trained reserves to defend our vital industries; such as mining and transportation" he said. As usual, this freak remedy is no different from other freaks, that are always basd on smashing a strike. rather than preventing it by removing the cause.
 With a child-like innocence the pro- lessor believes that nation of indus trial Hessians and strikebreakers, other than those of private detectives and cor porations, can be maintained Tn this country. He also believes that man can step from a counting room, for in stance, and start working in a coal mine with its falling rock and its gases, or can extricate railroad cars from the be- wildering maze of large freight yard, where injury and death are common oc- Ct1rrenceS.
