ENGLISH LABOR IS
MADE SCAPEGOAT

Delegate of British Union Tells Fed

Mistakes of Diplomats
and Politicians.
AMERICAN PEOPLE LIED TO
Story Toilers Delayed Delivery of
Monitions Through Drunk

CONSCRIPTION UNNECESo v
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10. Brt
lsh laboring men were declared to
day to have been iua.de scapegoats
for diplomats and politicians In war
scandals, and to have accomplished
through the war objects Tor which
they have striven for years, In an
address by C. O. Amnions, before
the thirty-fifth annual convention of
the American Federation of Labor.
He appeared as the fraternal dele
gate of the British Trades Union
congress.
Today's sessions, by vote of the con
vention, was devoted to fraternal dele
gates from other nations and other or
ganisations. Including representatives of
women workers.
Conscription, Mr. Amnions said, wss an
unnecessary measure in Great Britain,
designed to throttle labor In the future,
but proposed now In the excitement of
war.
Americana Lied To.
"American people have been lied to,"
he said, "when told that British work
men were in a debauch of drunkenness
and were responsible for delays In the
delivery of munitions.
"Mistakes ware made by diplomats and
politicians and some one had to be
blamed. Tou may fill in the rest for
yourself.
"As to conscription, voluntary service
has not failed. More men than can be
equipped have been found ready and
more will bo found If necessary.
"Conscription Is not a matter of men
for the present war, but an attempt to
fasten a strangle hold on labor after the
war.
"Labor unionism In Great Britain has
increased the pay of the fighting men In
the trenches, and the powers that be
had to come to organised labor If the
war were to be fought successfully.
"The war accomplished at a stroke of
the pen what labor has been fighting for
for decades nationalisation of railways,
of munition factories and the practice of
medicine. None of these shall ever go
back into private hands. Labor will fight
to save them."
Labor to Harr Jland.
"When peace comes finally," he said,
"labor will demand a share In the making
of the terms." American laboring men,
he suggested, should "hammer out the
final peace plan."
"The laboring people of Europe," he
added, "will demand a seat beside the
diplomats and politicians to sign the
peace pact, and they will see that that
pact shall be such a one that never again
shall laboring people be sundered.
"British workmen have no quarrel with
the workmen of other countries. While
temporarily the international union has
been sundered, the light of It has not
failed, and it will be the stronger with
the end of the war."
Eamuel Gompers, prei!dnt of the fed
eration, was confined to his room today
by a cold. Ills physician said the change
In climate affected Mr. Uompers, but that
his indisposition was not serious.

SEES YICTORY FOR
THE G. 0. P. IN 1916
Theodore E. Buxton of Ohio Gives
His Views on the Political Sit
uation of thr Country.
HOME POLICIES AS THE ISSUE
"The conditions are very favorable
for a national republican victory In
1916," skid ez-Unlted States Senator
Theodore E. Burton of Ohio, who Is
himself regarded as one of the strong
possibilities for the republican nom
ination for president
Going Into the signs, which he
looks to for Indication of a return of
sentiment for a republican adminis
tration, the senator pointed to recent
elections throughout the east, and in
his own state, where national issues
vere largely dragged into municipal
elections, and where the republican
candidates were very largely elected
handsome pluralities,' -"President
Wilson should at this time
be at the Ttrjr height of his popularity,
and let at-th-height of-Ma popularity,
he said, "and in spite of this we have
these republican majorities In the vari
ous elections and even old rock-ribbed
democratic Kentucky went democratic, as
I understand it, by a remarkably small
plurality.
Goes In on at Spilt.
"Then, too. It must be remembered that
President WUson went Into office a
minority candidate by virtue of the split
in the republican party, which Is rapidly
heallnir."
Asked If he believed the party would
be united for the 1916 election, the sena
tor said, "I believe It will. There Is a
disposition everywhere to g-et together.
I feel this: that the republican platform
of 1916 should be a progressive plat
form. It should be progressive In the
matter of the tat iff. I am tired of hear
ing the two extremes of the tariff fight.
There has been a disposition on the
Part of those who wanted high tariff
to demand it higher than was necessary.
There has been a disposition on the
other side . to go to the other extreme.
Personally, of course, I am a very strong
advocate of a permanent tariff commis
sion. Certainly It Is a matter that should
be looked Into by a body of experts
that would be Impartial.
Does Not Affect Price.
"i am more and more of the opinion
that a high or low tariff makes little
actual difference anyway in the price of
commodities we buy. If the right laws
for the handling of monopolies could be
arrived at, the tariff would not make so
much difference in the matter of prices
of necessities."
Senator Burton approved of President
Wilson's European policy, but disap
proves of his Mexican polloy. "The presi
dent has done In the European situation,"
he said, "Just what such a president as
Mr. Taft would have done: acted cau
tiously and endeavored to keep out of
trouble where possible. The dlssatUfac
tipn with Wilson will not be so much with
his foreign polity as with his domestic
policies."
Burton Urges This
Seek for
"Tho Tear 1915 and Its Flotation to
business Conditions," was the subject of
ftnutor Burton's talk before a crowded
house at the Commercial club.' "There
Is danger of a cranio in the ideals of
mankind as a result of this war," he said
"After this war there will surely be an
era of mllitarlmn or an era of peace. Let
us hope it will be the latter, but In the
meantime let us prepare for exigencies.
"Long continuance of the war means
the economic ruin of the nations Involved.
It is natural that at this time the nations
should begin to reflect on this, and even
now we are hearing some rumors that
preliminary peace negotiations are in
progress. It will take tent-flve or
thirty years to repair the dau.atfe done
In Europe.
"As for America, ours will be a dimin
ished market at the close of the war.
Europe 1U be Impoverished and will not
want to spend Its money for our goods.
They will demand a 'balance of trade in
their favor. They mill be fiercer com
petitors than ever before."
To Katesid Maa'arae.
The senator then urged that the Amer
ican business man extend his business in
(south America and all over the world
more aggressively than ever before. He
pointed out that we have been taking

that was predicted.
Yesterday rain was pretty general
over a large portion of the state. In
the afternoon , a change to colder

the state there was snow. Fairbury
reported thevheaviest fall of snow,
but It was not heavy enough to work
any Inconvenience as it melted about
as rapidly as It fell.
During the evening, while in the imme

ably calm, at Bennington, some ten miles
away, and to the west there was a ter
rific straight wind, scattering haystacks
and outhouses. Other than this no dam
age was reported.
At Blair, Tekamah and soma of the

Heavy rain was reported and early In

thitn we did to Germany with Its CO.O),000.
"We have taken, what came easy," he
ssld. "We must now go to South Amer

means that we sh uld te a largo factor

RAISE IN LUMBER
RATES SUSPENDED
Commerce Commission Acts on
Tariffs on Carload Lots from
West to Middle States.
HELD UP UNTIL MARCH TENTH
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. Tariffs
of transcontinental railroads propos
ing an Increase in carload rates on
lumber and forest products from Eas
ton and other points west of Spokane,
In the state of Washington, to desti
nations In North and South Dakota,
Nebraska and other states, were sus
pended today by tho Interstate Com
merce commission until March 10.
The increase ranged from 1 to 6
cents per 100 pounds.
It Is understood, however, that the de
cision was due to the fact that Increases
proposed by the same roads on other com
modities have not been acted upon and
the fact that an Investigation la ta be
undertaken of live stock rates.
Alice Tea Millions.
The netltlon was filed several weeks
ago, but final action on it was deferred
until all members of the commission were
present.
The western roads In their original case
asked for increases which they swld
would mean added revenues of about
$10,000,000 a year, but the commission
granted such increases only as it cal
culated would add about $1,5W,000 per year.
In the petition for a rehearing the prin
cipal reason given was that the commis
sion had failed to consider the need of
additional revenue. A reopening and re
hearing was asked In respect to the rates
on live stock, fresh meats, packing house
products and grain and grain products.
Ilehearlnsr Denied.
In keeping with Its order for an in
vestigation of rates on live stock and
similar commodities of tho same gen
eral character the commission also denied
petitions for a rehearing on rates on these
products from points in Colorado, South
Dakota and other nearby states to
Omaha and on the rates on the same
products in peddler cars In southwestern
territory.
. Briefs and arguments before the com
mission Indicate that the added revenue
through the increases asked on fresh
meats, packing house products and live
stock would have been about $3,000,000.
The lnvestlxatlon now undertaken may
result In giving the carriers at least a
portion of that sum.
