BY J. 3. (JerusaIem).

A FTER the conquest of Mecca by
"A the Wahabiti in October of last
year, there was for time peace in
Arabia. Whilst Ali who, as successor
to his father Hussein, had been made
king of the Hedjas, was desperately
appealing with cries of help to the
whole Mohammedan world in order to
save Jeddah, the port of the Hedjas,
which was the lest remnant in his
possession and even then was threat
ened by the Wahabiti-the latter COM
fortably installed themselves in the
conquered kingdom and especially in
the holy places of Islam-the English
confined themselves to observing
strict neutrality" j. e. melting both
opponents thru money and promises to
continue the war until the moment
which seemed favorable to England
for her to get the greatest advantage
out of the situation.
First of all the new king of the
Hedjas was to be compelled to accept
the agreement with England which
meant shameful abandonment of the
most elementary demands of Arabian
independence, and which Hussein had
persistently refused to sign until the
catastrophe with which his rule ended.
Ali however refused to consent. A few
weeks ago it was announced that the
negotiations with regard to an Anglo
Arabian agreement had been broken
off. In this way England gained a
free hand for her further policy in
Arabia.
A FTER his defeat by the Wahabiti
4 4 and his abdication, King Hussein
had fed to Akaba, port which had,
from time immemorial, belonged to
the territory Of the Hedjas. AS this
town is situated about in the middle
between Mesopotamia, Transjordinia
and the Hedjas, 1t was possible for
Hussein from there to remain in close
contact with these three countries,
ruled by his three sons, and to stir
them up to fight against England,
which had behaved towards him in
such a treacherous and underhand
manner. The representative of the
British government therefore came to
an understanding with the colonial
ministry to drive Hussein out Of
Akaba. The old king opposed all the
English demands. The Mohammedan
organizations of various Arabian coun-
tries protested against the British de-
mand. The English however, were
not deferred from using force. A
British cruiser landed sailors, took
Hussien prisoner and conveyed him
to the island OF Cyprus which is to be
his residence in future.

British IntFigues i'm Arabia

This however was not the end of
the AFFAIR In order to consolidate
their stategic position East of the
Suez Canal, the English had always
planned to extend their mandatory ter
ritory. In view of the promises made
to the Arabs, as well as to avoid
acute conflicts, they had however re-
peatedly postponed occupying Akaba.
Now Hussein's "obstinacy" gave them
pretext for the military conquest of
the town. Regardless of the threat
ening attitude of the population, who
gave expression to their fanatical
hatred of the English in the form of
professions and protests, Akaba and
its surroundings were on July LIST an
nexed to the British mandatory terri
tory. The arbitrariness Of this an
nexation, even from the point of view
of bourgeois international law, is evil
dent from the fact that esteemed Eng

best thing for the unions to do right
now is to amalgamate. There are
$500 members in the two locals and
recently Berry has been able to use
the feeders against the pressmen.
A Berry Tool.
Recently both unions agreed on a
common program of action and Berry
warned Franklin No. 4 not to meet
any more in joint conference with
the pressmen. 1t is probable that
Berry will take action against the
feeders similar to what he took
against the pressmen. The president
of the feeders union, Hugh Cram
bert is Berry tool, but most of the
members are against him.
'Majah" Berry appeared before the
convention of the New York Sttae
Federation of Labor a few days ago
and made a speech on Cancellation
and arbitration. There should be no
more strikes and lockouts, he said.
The following day, an advertisement
appeared in the New York World, ap-
pealing for scabs to man rotary press
es on an out-of-town job. The ad
read: "Pressmen wanted. Out-of-
town positions on rotary presses.
Good make ready men. Phone, Penn
sylvania 0543"
This is the phone number Of the
George Detective Agency. 1t is ru-
in this fink concern. The scabs were
wanted to work in the Cuneo plant
under the notorious New York gang
ster, Seymour "Stuss" Singer, who is
accused of smuggling Johnny Grant,
New York pressman, to death.
The local pressmen intend to fight
Berry to the bitter end and the plan
of making the fight a nationwide one
is popular among the rank and file.

lish politicians, even members Of the
conservative party, protested against
this deed of violence on the part Of
the British government.
NEVERTHELESS English policy in
IN Arabia is far from seeing the end
of its difficulties. On the contrary, the
anti-English propaganda among the
Arabs is becoming more and more
popular, and the enthusiastic recep-
ton of the Turkish diplomatic repre-
sentative both in the British and
French mandatory territories, is symp-
tomato of the attitude of mind Of
broad masses of the people, who thus
express their sympathy for Turkey
which has been freed from the imper-
ialist yoke.
The intrigues thru which England
has achieved temporary success, will
in the end be the doom of British pol
Icy in Arabia.

darkest czarism. The trend of our
capitalist press is the key to this
secret.
When during the spectacular and
stormy sessions Of the convention of
the State Federation of Labor held
during the middle of August, Easton
was reelected to succeed himself, by
a narrow vote of 175 ont of total Of
269 delegates registered, the kept
press sent up paens uof thanksgiving
that Easton would succeed himself
and that the progressives. in the con-
vention had been steam rolled.
TWO Factions Fight
It was to be expected that the same
wave of reactionarism which was, for
the moment, sweeping the trades
union movement in the country, would
show it's head here and when c. Frank
Keeney former president of district IL
United Mine Workers, was placed in
nomination for state president, it was
soon made evident thatq short shift
would be made of his boom, by the
oligarchy. William Blizzard, floor lead
err Of the miners delegation from the
southern district, attacked Easton re-
cord and showed him up as traitor
to union principles and accused him
of failing to support the child labor
amendment in this state but to no
effect
Finally Blizzard and the miners
from the southern district, 81 in num-
Der, bolted the convention and retired
to a hotel to await developments.
During the morning session of August
18th the day after the miners bolted,
Keeney appeared at the session and
said the miners refused to take any
further part in the proceedings, "un-
less they were dished out square
deal" by the other faction. But the
other faction was, evidently, not dish
ing out square deals and Keeney with
drew his name leaving Easton unop-
posed for the Office. grp ge
That Easton fulfills the heartfelt
wants of the business interests of the
state can readily be seen in the COM
ments on his election by the kept
press and concerning his record of
helping to defeat the Child Labor
amendment the Parkersbnrg News,
the organ which laid the egg and hat
ched the Guy Golf boom; and landed
that Teapot Domer and son of the
late Senator Nathan lGoff, into the
United States senate, has this to say
in an editorial; 81 = rut
"The StateA Fedefationgof Labor
elected as president John r. Easton,
of Williamstown, to succeed himself.
Among one of the objectionable
sins charged by Blizzard against East
on is that the latter didDuot support
the child labor amendment. Few
thinking persons in the state backed
this move to further hamper the state
with federal control; few thinking
persons want a government at Wash
ington so centralized and so omnipo-
tent that it can say when and where
and how children should play and
work. When Mr.. Blizzard brings such
a charge against Mr.. Easton he is not
hurting the Wood county man but
rather is paying him attribute for
common sense thinking."se

GOOD NEWS FOR THE WEST

Commenting upon copper situation, Evening
Copper Journal of Hancock, Michigan says:
Conditions in 1924 showed steady improvement
over previous years American consumption ex-
ceeded production, reducing stocks to where there
is now about one months supply ahead. Unless
production is unduly increased during the coming
year. which lessons of the past should prevent,
there is every indication that we'll managed COM
panies will enjoy reasonable prosperity during the
coming year.
Basic conditions in the industry are sound
Stock held by producers is small. Stock held by
consumers in this country is smaller than usual,
and as to stock held by consumers in foreign coun-
tries, there is none.
"A tremendous vacuum in the worlds copper
requirements remains to be filled"
The current price of commercial silver has
passed n cents, the highest mark since 1923, when
U. S Treasury ceased buying domestic silver at

take the place of silver alleged to have been bot
from non-domestic producers under the act
