Unemployment Insurance Is
Goal of Newly Formed
National Group.

Support of the federal govern
ment for unemployment relief
measures is the aim of the Wage
Farmers National Relief Associa-
ton, now conducting membership
campaign in Indiana.
The association, through petitions
being circulated throughout the en-
tire country, will urge the govern
ment to set up machinery for crea-
ton of state systems of unemployed
insurance.
These petitions also will ask for
organizing of a national system Of
employment agencies through adop-
ton Of the bill sponsored by SEN
ator Robert F. Wagner Of New
York.
Has 10000 Members
The organization now has 10000
members with offices in twelve
cities, according to j. Calvin New
man, executive secretary, who was
in Indianapolis Tuesday. Head
quarters are in Cleveland.
j. A. Corn is state representative
and has offices at 20 Union Trust
building. Fifteen women now are
employed in the circulation of petit
tions and obtaining Of members.
This force will be enlarged as the
work progresses throughout the
state, he stated.
Membership is composed of sala-
ried and wage earning people, said
Newman. The membership fee is 10
cents, collected at the time the pc
tition is signed, and is used to carry
on the work of expanding the or
ganiZation.
Contributions Made
This membership fee is the only
revenue source the group has, ex-
cept public minded citizens who
contribute larger sums, it was said.
No other demand for money is made
on members.
Senator John j. Blaine, Wisconsin,
has Endorsed the movement and will
present its petitions to the next Ses-
sion of congress.
The movement was launched by
James B. Parker, returned Boston
jeweler, according to Newman. Par
ker saw what was done by veterans
organizations in pushing soldiers
bonus measures through congress,
and, knowing of the need of the
unemployed, began a move to use
similar tactics for their assistance.

Breaking from the barrier of the
Brown Derby like a flash is a dark
horse-FTapk C. Riley, attorney.
In the first skullduggery" stand
ings of the derby today, Riley is out
in front by a fair margin and
winging his way toward the quarter
pole.
His hackers have been consistent
in handing in ballots while hench-
men of other candidates seem to
have dug deeper in their cellars in
an effort to hoard ballots until the
very last minute.
But the last minutes for being
miSerly with undated ballots in the
contest to name the citys most

The Times and United Press present
herewith an interview with Philip Snow
den, who retains his post as chancellor
Of the excheauer in Britains new nation
al government. SnOwden seldom has
been interviewed.
World Copyright. 1881. by United Press
Reproduction in part or whole forbiddenl
LONDON, Aug. 26.-The iron
chancellor" of Britain is confident
that nationwide sacrifice will save
the country from its present finan-
cial emergency.
Philip Snowden, who determined
to devote his life to the interests
Of the people while he was recover
ing from an accident that made
him lame for life, believes that the
inherent soundness of the British
financial position and the spirit of
her people will see things through.
To Snowden falls perhaps the
most difficult task Of the new gov
eminent. AS chancellor of the ex-
chequer he will be directly respon-
sible for balancing the budget which
held $600,000,000 deficit over the
heads Of the late government.
Depends on Confidence
The veteran chancellor, now 81,
expressed his faith in a national
willingness to sacrifice whatever
may be necessary.
This country is dependent esp
cially upon the maintenance of con-
fidence in international credit and
international exchanges" he said.
Recent weakening of confidence in
sterling, withdrawal by foreign
countries of their credits in Lon
don, and the great loss of gold re-
serves, If continued, would reduce
currency quickly.
THE falling value of currency
naturally reduces its purchasing
power and it is at this point that
such lack Of confidence affects
everybody.
IF the value Of sterling fell it
would mean the reduction of the
value of wages and all other pay
ments, such as pensions, rents and
investments.
Cites Grave Danger
1.-THE danger of all this happen
ing has been very real in the last
few weeks.
1T is quite beside the point to say
that the situation has been created
deliberately for political purposes.
To think that international finance
is conducted without any regard for
the interests of trade is an ignorant
delusion."
The chancellor obviously referred
here to reports published in London
that American bankers virtually had
dictated terms on which Britain
could receive new credits and had
forced a reduction in the dole.
The chief reason why there has
been this nervousness in other
countries about British credit" he
continued, lis that the impression
got abroad that our national
financial position, that is the
budgetary position of the country
was not satisfactory.
Have Vast Resources
"a country is like an individual.
II can not keep in a solvent posi-
ton forever if expenditure exceeds
income.
THAT Is the reason why economy
of national expenditure is essential
to make both ends meet. The pres
ent crisis has arisen through a
weakness of international conf
dence in Great BritainS financial
stability. But the position of our
country is fundamentally sound.
1--WE have vast resources, and all
that is needed to restore confidence
abroad is the evidence that we are
placing our national finances on a
thoroughly sound basis" the chan
cellor said.

List Creeps Slowly Upward.
Domestic Group Is
Steady.
BY DONALD C. BOLLES,

NEW YORK, February 2S.-An up
ward movement so narrow it was hard
" discernible was displayed by the
bond market today in activity on par
with former sessions this week.
Most of the corporate domestic list
vas content to hold stationary at
previous closing prices, but there was
some appreciation in legal railroad and
utility bonds. Advances seldom ex-
ceeded a quarter Of point, however.
Governments were little traded, but the
group again displayed an upward
tendency.
stock privilege issues fiuctuated I'M
certainly. Loews IS reacted more than
D point, which was matched with rise
of similar proportions in Lautaro Nj
trate 6s. Foreign issues held fairly
steady after enjoying a good inquiry
throughout the week.
Announcement by the Peruvian gov
eminent that 1t had arranged to pay
the interest due on the z per cent loan
Of 1859 due March went unnoticed by
that issue. Interests on the $14,500 900
bonds outstanding amounts to $780,
900 and there had been some uncer-
tainty among investors as to whether
the interest would be paid in view OF
political and economic developments.
Other developments of interest to
the bond market were announcement
that the international Great Northern
Railroad, a member of the so-called
Van Sweringen group, had deferred pay
ment OF interest on adjustment mort
gaee bonds for the last half Of 1880 and
similar action by the Cuban Dominican
sugar Corporation on the per cent
