BIRMINGHAM, Ala, January 12.-
Corporal punishment of state con-
victs came to the forefront as an is
sue In Alabama again today with an
nouncement that the Shelby county
grand jury would be called Monday
to Investigate conditions at the AL
drich mines, where sixty-six mutinous
convicts surrendered last night after
day of terror.
In this connection Convict Inspector
Charles r. Davis announced that
none of those participating in the
mutiny would be punished until a
grand jury investigation is made
and perhaps not then. Attorney
General Harwell G. Davis has re-
quested the grand jury to begin a
probe at Columbiana, the county seat
Wallace Of the Eighteenth judicial

The strike against authority Is
said to have resulted because of dis
satisfaction with Warden j. NJ. Jen-

previous to the mutiny. Some of the
prisoners during the outbreak made

ROPER SAYS M'ADO0
FOR TWO.THIRDS RULE
Declares Candidate Stands for No
Abrogation of Convention
Practice.

No effort will be made on behalf OF
William G. McAdoo, candidate for the
democratic presidential nomination.
to overthrow the two-thirds rule in
the next democratic national conyen-
tlon, according to statement by Daniel
Z. Roper. former commissioner of in
ternal revenue and prominent in the
McAdoo campaign. Mr.. Roper said that
MIR. McAdoo was opposed to a. change In
the present rules for the next conyen-
tion.
Referring to some recent published
assertions that it was planned in be-
helf of Mr.. McAdoo to substitute a
majority for the two-thirds voting
rule. Mr.. Roper said:
while 1 cannot anticipate the
action of the national committee at
it's meeting next week, do know
that Mr.. McAdoo has expressed the
view that no effort should be made
TO abrogate this rule as related to
the 1924 nomination.
After the 1924 nominees are chosen.
Mr.. Roper said his personal belief was
that the convention then might con-
slider a change in the rules which now
require two thirds votes for the
nomination of President and Vice
President
There have been reports that the
democratic national committee next
week would take steps to abrogate
the two-thirds rule, but prominent
party leaders have explained that the
committee was without power to
change the rules, this being the prov
ince of the convention itself There
is said to be a sentiment. however.
for substitution Of a majority vote
for the two-thirds rule after the 1924
nominations are made, and the ma
tional committee is expected to con-
slider a recommendation to that effect.

BRITISH LABOR RULE
IS FEARED IN PARIS
France Has Grave Misgivings as to
Ramsay Macdonald as Pre-
mier in Britain.
BY ANDRE TARDIEJ.

By Radio TO The Star.
PARIS, January 1.-THE advent of
a labor movement in England, with
Ramsay Macdonald as premier, now
seems assured, and it's Importance
cannot be oyerestimated. Establish
ment Of socialist rule in a great
country like England will figure
heavily in the worlds history.
Macdonald's Albert Hall speech,
full of ardent idealism. was such as
reservations, to all men everywhere
who have not given up hope of
better world and a more stable peace.
But that is nothing new. for human
ity has long been in agreement on
ends. 1t has failed thus far to agree
only on the means for attaining them.
times that he Is determined to up
hold the traditions of the British
foreign office. which constitute pre-
cisely the obstacle which we have
encountered at numerous times dur
ing the war and since. So it hardly
seems likely that the socialist gov
ernment will abolish between Lon
don and Paris what Macdonald calls
constant squabbling and pin-pricking
French Scorn Denied.
1t Is not true, as stated in the
British press. that labor's rise to
power has been received in France
with scorn and hostility. Our press
almost unanimously has adopted a
courteous tone. If there also has
been tone of reserve, it is because
we cannot forget that in the past
at critical moments the future pre-
mier showed himself sadly lacking
in international clairvoyance. We
remember his speech of August 4, 1914,
in which he said:
MY friends and I Of the labor
party solemnly declare that such
friendship as unites us with France
cannot in any case oblige US to go
to war in defense of another nation.
And whatever opprobrium may be
heaped upon us, we hold that this
country should remain neutral"
If. at that tragic moment, England
had followed Macdonald, German i'm
perialism today would be reigning
over the world. Should we be sur
prised at this capital error of judg-
ment which, alas. may be repeated
when another opportunity offers?
The writer thinks not.
British unions throughout their
history have been much more strictly
limited to labor questions than those
of the continent. Only recently, and
under Macdonald's influence. has the
British trade union adopted the ten
dencies and the vocabulary of con-
tinental syndicalism.
Was Pacifist in War.
And besides his speech of 1914. we
must remember his attitude during
the war, which, unlike Henderson's.
was one of surly pacifism, which could
only benefit Germany.
And so, tomorrow, we are to have
ancient foreign office traditions min
CLING with doctrines of international
socialism. Does this prospect offer
any hope for solution of the problems
which have waited so long for an an
swer?
Macdonald's recent pamphlet on la
bors foreign policy contains nothing

affairs.
England has suffered from a sck

assumed in both France and Ger
many that the timidity has been due
to fear of French aeroplanes. This
is complete mfsreading of the public
mind. England has no fear of French
aeroplanes and the French are quite
mistaken in supposing that the la Dor
party will be Indifferent to national
defense. All measures necessary to
security will be taken.
But Macdonald undoubtedly will
do what no other premier has done.

the Ruhr policy and will take stand
unhesitatingly for the league of ma
tions. In all this he will have the
enthusiastic support of the liberals
and of the most responsible elements

English opinion formally mobilized
against his policy and expressed with
uncompromising clearness.
The situation between the two
countries undoubtedly will be deli

French public. which is. disposed TO
attribute it to machinations of the
British rather than to the inevitable

Moreover. murders in the Palatinate
have brought the whole scandal of
separatist intrigues. in the Rhine
land to a head and England Is no
longer able to turn a blind eye to
the origin of the mischief.
VIII Recognize Russia.
Recognition of Russia will be one
of the first acts of the new labor gov
ernment. Demand for this has been
growing for some time owing to in
creasing evidences that the temper of
the soviets was being modified by eX-
perience and that trade relations on
a big scale cannot be resumed until
this viii give great impetus to indus
try. which will react to the advantage
of the new government. How long
the labor government will live is 4
much discussed problem.
Some political authorities expect
defeat by May. The most optimistic
view is that the government will last
until July. 1925.
The salvage feat in history is about
to be undertaken. The British ad-
miralty this week let the contract for
the raising of the German fleet now

flow. 1t is probable that the change
of government will put an end to the
much criticized naval developments
Naval opinion is much divided and
public opinion is quite hostile to the
scheme.

FOR the first time by a totally mex
Derienced government at a moment
of great industrial and commercial
depression with unemployment in
creasing rather than diminishing,

The miners are now taking a ballot
on Terminating this agreement three
months hence, and the result of this
ballot will be officially announced
next week. 1t Is known that 1t will
be overwhelming in favor of a new

BY A. q. GARDINER.

LONDON, January 1.-THE country
awaits the opening of parliament next
Tuesday with deep interest and anxiety.
But it would be untrue to suggest that
We are panic-stricken.
The Times criticizes severely Mr..
Lloyd Georges message to America
comparing our condition to that of Rome
on the approach of Attilla. The Times
rightly describes this as pestiferous
nonsense and suggests that the former
prime minister should be pensioned and
put on the shelf
But admittedly much alarm pre-
walls at the prospect OF a labor govern
ment, and the movement of capital TO
America is considerable. This is a
natural phenomenon in the circum-
stances. There are always plenty of
nervous people ready to lose their
heads and think the country is going to
the dogs especially with the Rother-
mere press shouting daily in italics,
after the manner of the fat boy Pick
main current OF opinion of the respon-
SlDIe business and financial world.
Asquith Holds Reins.
Even If Ramsay Masdonald desired
revolution and to set up guillotine
in Trafalgar square he would be
helpless. He will be in the shafts,
but Mr.. Asquith will be on the driving
seat with his hand on the brake.
There is every intention on Mr.. AS
Quith's part not to upset the labor
coach on frivolous grounds. but his
power to call Il halt at any moment
is the dominating and indisputab BILE
fact of the situation.
But Macdonald is no revolutionary.
He made 4 most favorable impression
by his speech this week at the great
Albert Hall victory demonstration of
the labor party. The gathering almost
partook of the character of a re-
,igious revival. Macdonald kept a
high note of moral fervor, coupled
with a moderate statement of prac-
tical aims
On the lines laid down he can main
tain the support of the liberals prob
ably at the cost of shedding the eX-
tremists of his own party.
The most satisfactory feature is
the prominence Macdonald assigned
to securing a European settlement.
Paris calculations at present are that
the parliamentary confusion in Lon
don leaves France master of the con-
tinental situation. These calculations
are premature. The writer anticipates
that Macdonald will improve greatly

new which suggests an affirmative
answer. He wants Europe reconstruct
ed and Russia recognized. But David
Lloyd George worked throughout 1920
1921 and 1922 for the same objects with
out success.
Moreover, we know that throughout
the world a certain group of second
rate financiers, especially at Amster-
dam. have not hesitated to cooperate
with the revolutionary parties, and
we find these groups today aligned
against France. We may fear, there
fore, that labor doctrines, in SO far as
they are hostile to France, will find
plenty Of speculative support.
Courtesy Assure.
1t goes without sayirs hat any
French government, whether Premier
Poincare'S or another, will observe
the friendliest courtesy toward the
British labor government. We have
no prejudice. and IL Macdonald is
ready for broad and complete CON
versations-which his predecessors have
never seemed to want-we shall
gladly meet him half way. But that
hasn't happened yet And mean
while 1t is well to recall the reasons
why the labor government has not
inspired the deepest confidence here.

taken in 1914 is scarcely reassuring

SO GERMAN SHIPS SUNK
AFTER WAR TO BE RAISED

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. January ia Queens
borough, Kent, firm yesterday entered
into a contract with the admiralty to
raise sixty-eight German warships
sunk at Scapa Flow. Most of the war
ships. when raised, will be sold to
ship breakers. while the others will
be used by the admiralty for target
practice.
At the conclusion of the war the
German warships were taken to
Scapa Flow, an expanse Of sea in the
south of the Orkneys used by Admiral
Jellicoe as his chief naval base, to be
interned there. On June 81, 1919, the
German crews scuttled the vessels,
and the entire feet, with the excep-
tion OF the battleship Baden, five
light cruisers and some smaller ves-
sells, settled to the bottom.
