International Labor Party at Geneva
Sheds New Light on European Problems

The object Of the International
Labor Organization is not, as some
people believe. to standardize labor
conditions in the different countries.
1t Is simply to establish an interna
tional minimum. Labor conventions
cannot in any case lower the workers
standard Of living in any country
The effect Of international legislation
can only be to raise that standard.
The Washington conference in No.
vember, 1919, was the first manifesto,
ton Of the activities Of tho Interna.
tional Labor Organization. At this
conference two very important series
Of decisions were passed. In the first
place. Germany and Austria were i'm.
mediately admitted as members Of the
International Labor Organization. In
the second place, the Washington
conference adopted a series of con
yentions. the most important and the
best known of which was the conven-
ton concerning the 4S-hour week.
Results Somewhat Disappointing.
Notwithstanding, 1t must be con.
fessed that. efncacious as it has been,
the legislative work accomplished by
the international Labor Organization
has been less considerable than the
peace conference and the working
classes in the different countries had
expected and hoped.
The reason for this comparative
failure Is not far to seek. The
economic and social clauses of the
treaty of peace were based upon the
conviction that the war was going to
be followed by a period Of extraor
dinary prosperity. Bolshevism had
reached the climax of it's early sue.
cess. The nations of Europe were
afraid of the effects of its propaganda
Huge concessions to the working
classes did not appear too high 9
price to pay for the maintenance OF
social order and domestic peace. In
the Spring Of 1921, however, the sit
uation was completely reversed. The
workers ceased to be all powerful and
threatening. Thus the hypothe.
sis upon which the International
Labor Organization had been founded
proved false.
1t would hardly be right, however
to speak of failure. AS soon as in
dustry revives and labor becomes
scarce the conditions obtaining in
1919 will be established. and inter.
national labor legislation will pursue
it's course. The first symptoms OF
this change are already visible

More Germans Emigrate,

Although German emigration abroad
is not so high as in 1923, and the
American quota Is hardly filled. 1t Is
distinctly higher than before the war
In 1924 there were 32,s56 Germans
returned from abroad. Most Of the
OUTGOING Germans prefer South Amer

became known to the Senate
investigating committee, it was
testified today by Falls SON
in-law, G. G. Chase.
Couldn't Get Loan
Chase, the first witness called
today in the trial of his father
in-law and Doheny for alleged
conspiracy to defraud the Govern
ment in oil leases, testified that
in November of 1923 Fall en-
deavored to obtain loan of $780,
900 from Price Mckinney, of
Cleveland, but without success.
Sought During Investigation

change Mckinney for Doheny as
his creditor came at a time when
the Senate Committee on Public
Lands was conducting vigorous
investigation into his private af-
fairs. particularly with respect to
the. 800, 900 in question.
1t was within two months of this
time that 'Doheny came forward
only after Fall had announced his
beneficiary was f. b. Mclean, pub
lisher-and announced that he had
made the loan.
Under questioning by Owen Rob

testified that. under instructions
from his father-in-law. he had gone
to Cleveland to see Mckinney
Mckinney Now Dead
Chase explained that Mckinney
had suggested he loan Fall 100000
with which to retire the Doheny
loan, and Fall wanted the Cleve-
land man to be reminded of that
fact.
Chase gave no reason. however,

ELE(' RIG
RAT CUT
ORDERED

Electric rates will be re-
dueed 81 per cent beginning
january according to an
agreement reached today be-
tween the Public Utilities Com
mission and the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Company
Profit Sharing Plan
The reduction will result from
the profit sharing plan now in
operation between the company
and the commission whereby half
of the company's profit over "
per cent year is devoted each
year to a reduction in rates. for
the following year.
The company's profit this year
will be more than 100000, over
seven and a half per cent, it is
estimated, and an agreement has
been reached to- turn $430, 900 into
reduced rates for next year.
Just where this rate reduction
will be applied will be determined
later this week. Last year the
rate was reduced from seven and
a half cents per kilowatt hour to
seven cents. This year the prim-
airy rate will be reduced again or
a secondary rate will be set to re-
duce the cost of electricity when
more than a certain amount is
used.
Third Cut i'm Two Years
This is the third general rate re.
duction effected since the profit
sharing agreement was made be-
tween the Pepco and the commission.
The first occurred on January /,
1925, when the rate was reduced
from 10 cents to III cents. or 25
per cent.
The next reduction came the first
of this year, when the rate was cut
from III cents to cents. In aid
dition the street light bill was cut
$4,000 on July / of this year.
Officials of the Public Utilities
Commission estimated today that the
Washington public by the end of
next year will have saved $3.50 900
by these rate cuts. If the 10-cent
rate were still in effect the public's
bill next year would be So 1850. 900

Now Think Ware VIII Be
Denied Senate Seat

Washington-Bos Ware of Phila-
delphia will be denied the Senate seat
to which the Republicans of Pennsyl-
vania nominated him on May Is, at a
cost of millions pro and cen, if the
forecasts of political experts in the
capital come true. Politicians of both
the old parties, studying the figures
disclosed thus Car in the "slush fund"
probe by the Senate committee, are
convinced that the Senate dare not
seat the gangster who defeated An
drew w. Mellon for control of Penn
sylania's republican machine.
Due largely to the fight waged by
the late Senator LaFOllette, Boss LOr-
inner of Chicago was driven from the
Senate-unseated on the ground that
his election was bought with cash.
Newberry of Michigan was seated but
had to resign, because he had paid
$4,000 for the tOga. Seventeen of
the 46 Republican senator who voted
to seat Newberry have been retired in
the past four years and others have
died before the voters had a chance
to pass a verdict on them. Twelve
more are up for a decision in this
years campaign. Senators who voted
to seat Newberry have been unlucky
ever since. Now comes Ware, whose
primary campaign seems to have cost
his machine at least $1,000,O0O while
the Mellon-Pepper opposition spent
much more. If Ware is elected in No
vember, the progressives will chal-
lenge his right to a seat. Then will
come the fatal roll call. The outcome
is the more likely to be unfavorable
to Ware because he is conceded to be
mentally and morally below the level
of the great majority of senators.
