Len SMALL WILL
RUN ONCE MORE

SPRINGFIELD. III Feb To-,
About twelve hours after Governor
Len Small came out of midnight
conference with "Big Bill' Thompson,
mayor of Chicago, and Frank L. Smith
who was ousted from his seat in the
senate, Small announced that third
gubornatorial term will be sought by
him.
Two planks have been added to his
platform, however, one calling for
full, free and equal rights of Illinois
SIS sovereign state of the Union" !"
which is interpreted as support for
Smith, and the other stressing the
"America First" policy, in line with
Thompson's hysterical anti-British
propaganda.
The governor, who was slated for
senator-e!ect Smiths job, was not in
terested in another term as governor
until few days ago. Following the
conference, however, the policy seems
to have changed and Small is anxious
to get Smiths seat back for him and
keep his own job.

ed out, is also contrary to the prac-
tice of the United States, which has
in a great number of cases exacted
payments for alleged damage to the
property of its citizens in countries
where revolutions were taking place.
The United States, it is pointed out
here, has already made it clear that it
intends to collect on claims made by
United States citizens for alleged
damages suffered in the Nicaraguan
revolution.
The deadlock on the intervention
question, which is the problem most
prominently before the Pan-American
conference, follows the failure of the
conference to reach any agreement on
the question of the reorganization of
the Pan American Union. The Ar
gentine delegation refused to recog-
nize any agreement whose preamble
did not include declaration against
tariff barriers between American
countries. The Argentine proposal is
regarded as a direct attack against
the high tariff policy of the United
States.
Argentine Steady.
In spite of the new meeting Of the
subcommittee, Pueyrredon repeated
that he would oppose any treaty which
did not declare against the high tar
iff. Minister Guerrero of Salvador
pointed out the fuCility of considering
other articles of the Union convention
while Argentina refused to accept
anything that did not include the tar
iff declaration. The commission, how
ever, finally decided to continue with
the undisputed articles returning lat
er to the preamble.

Soviet Union to Send

Trade between the Soviet Union and

The gold will arrive in New York
City on board the steamship Ham
burg of the Hamburg-American line

Trade between the Soviet Union
and the United States totals about
$100,000,000 and exceeds the pre-war
trade. Altho the trade of the Soviet
Union with the world at large Is
favorable. it's exports to the United
States are smaller than It's imports
from the United States. The gold
shipments, therefore, are intended TO
offset the adverse trade balance with
the United States. The gold viii also

CANADIAN WAGES
BELOW 1920 RATE

Rates Of pay for industrial workers
throughout Canada gained slightly in
1927, the average advance over 1926
amounting to 2 per cent, according
to the annual report of the Canadian
department of labor on wages and
hours of labor. Canadian wages are
still nearly Z per cent under the aver
age for 1920.
A report on prices and the cost of
living which accompanies the wage
data shows that the cost of work
er's family budget in Canada during
1927 averaged 56 per cent above 1913.
With hourly wage rates averaging
84.3 per cent above prewar and the
cost of living up only Sc per cent, an
hours work will buy about 18 per
cent more in the way of goods and
services than it would have purchased
in 1918. The departments figures on
hours per week do not extend far
enough back to make possible COM
parison Of actual earnings.
Factory trades other than those
classed as common factory labor, have
made the greatest gain compared
with prewar. Their wages have
come down about 71a per cent from
the peak of 1920. The coal miners
wages have come down more than Is
per cent from the peak which was
reached in this industry in 1921.

Labor government in Norway, which

DR.. J. L. Mowinckel, leader of the

any government which Mowinckel
may form is extremely precarious in

clear majority.
