- j There exists ; an, organized con-
;Ptracy to secure unreasonable, re
auctions in wages and a drastic ex-
. ' tension of the normal working week.
. These facts are doing more to foment
; revolution, disorder and bloodshed
than all the activities of the extrem
ists of the labor world. '
Such are the declarations of the
general council of the Trade Union
congress, in a manifesto just issued.
It contains a strong messaac of
warning to. the industrial chiefs of
Britain and to the vast middle-class
public, who, as labor sees it, permit
this alleged campaign of alteration of
labor conditions to proceed without
protest.
Employers Warned.
"The existence' of a serious slump
in trade and abnormal unemploy
ment," the manifesto reads, "appear
to be considered by employers as an
opportunity for imposing reduction
in wages and increases in hours. In
some quarters the spirit of getting
their own back appears to inspire
the employers, by which is meant
the determination to punish the
workers for their audacious attempt
to keep wages up during the war. .
"We have to warn employers that
a policy of reprisals is one likely to
lead to disastrous consequences. Sta
bility in industrial organizations
would be quite impossible, and a
policy of attack and counter-attack,
as determined , by opportunities,
would take the place of negotiation.
"The worker has a moral right to
claim improvement tp working con
vy
mm m a f
ion.' Jan
.' ,'Vr Theory Refused.
"Organized labor will refuse to ac-
ccpt f're theory that theDfoper func
tion of industry Is to provide a bare
living for the worker and opportuni-
7 ty for wealth accumulation , for the
employer, ' ,- ' ' ' '. -
' . "We are prepared to work for the
- constitutional changes necessary for
the attainment of higher standards,
but we warn those among the em-
.' ployers who would sabotage present
labor conditions that the extremists
on their side are more likely to cre
ate undisciplined revolt, chaos and
disorder than the extremists on
" ' ours. Vv . ,
"We .are convinced that in this
country, by constitutional effort, a
crJaI evolution toward a just so
cial order is possible. We just as
emphatically declare, however, that
the patience of the worktrs we rep
resent will rapidly be exhausted if
the present attempt to re-estaonsn
sweating, long hours and low wages
is successful."
Bloomfield Votes
to Continue Strike
Bloomfield,. Neb., Jan. 7. (Spe
cial.) BlOonifield and community
are still standing pat without tele
phone .rvice. At a mass meeting
held here it was voted unanimously
to turn down the rates granted the
company by the state railway com
mission and which became effective
January 1, and a motion prevailed
that patrons would not take the
telephones back except at the rates
that were in-effect prior tp April 1.
1921.
The company was granted a 23
per cent raise by the railway com
mission, which became effective April
1, last year, and nearly 700 patron-;
went on a "tsirke," refusing to pay
the raise and ordering their tele
phones out. Since that time almost
without exeptiort they have Stood by
tl.eir guns and the company now has
but 70 subscribers, including those
who failed to go out with the rest
Attorney r. H. Tetcrsou of Wausr.,
representd the company, and made a
Ingthy speech before the meeting.
He stated that in his brief to th
commission - he had stated that the
company was willing to forego any
dividends and that it was willing .ta
operate at a loss in order to- settle
the matter with the subscribers. He
said that the company had done all
that it could . and must now stand
by the rates as fixed by the com
mission. This failed to meet with
the approbation of the meeting.
. The sentiment of, the meeting was
nnrnimous and there were at leasi
500 present. A move is now on foot
for the organization of a mutual
company. .

Wrought Changes.
Say Jap Danger Extinct
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.
Chlcaco Trlbun-Omh Be Leatrd Wire.
Washington, Jan. 7. A new drive
ta obtain the liberation of the Philip
pines was inaugurated today by the
Filipino leaders here on the basis of
the changed conditions wrought by
the four-power Pacific treaty and
other achievements of the conference
on the limitation of armaments.
The aim of the independence advo
cates now is to obtain not only an
act of congress freeing He Philip
pines, but a reservation to the four
power treaty declaring the intention
of the United States to withdraw
from the islands within a fixed per
iod. - "
James C. de Veyra. and Isaura
Gabaldon. the resident Philippine
commissioners, assert that the four
power treaty remtves "any real cause
of fear for the safety of a Philippine
republic, and that if any such appre
hension persists the United States
easily could induce Great Britain,
France and Japan to sign a special
agreement neutralizing the Philip
pines.
How the tour-power treaty win
hasten" Philippine independence is
thus set forth by the Filipino lead
ers: Say Bugaboo Is Dead.
"The Japanese bugaboo as an im
portant factor in the Philippine inde
pendence question ii dead. It died
with the birth of the four-power
treaty, having for its object the keep
ing of the peace in the Pacific. "
"With a single strong blow, the
administration has killed what up to
this time has been a powerful factor,
if not the most powerful factor in
public opinion in the United States
apainst Philippine independence.
'We would really like to see you Fili
pino obtain your independence . has
been 'fhc assurance of rriany sincere
iind admirine friends of the Filipino
Jteople, i'but we are ; afraid Japan

"Even the , Wood-Forbes 'anti-independence
report took- cognizance
of this bugaboo. The report, "recently
made public, declared, the United
States, would not be justified in 'leav
ing the islands a prey to any power
ful nation coveting their rich soil and
potential commercial advantages.'
"But iiow all is changed. For th?
United States now to take this atti

in Sensational Case
Ncligh, Neb., Jan. 7. (Special.)

vorce case ever tried in the Antelope

Turkey an Acre Is Rent
Asked by Land Ownei
White Rock. S. D.. Jan. 7. fSne
cial.) A farm owner of this vicinity
has cUered to rent his farm of loO
acres on the sole condition that the
tenant shall turn over to him one tur
key for each acre of land contained
in the farm. Turkeys sold by the
land owner during the closing weeks
of 19-'l brought him from to $10
each, and he figures that he will re
ceive good rent for his land if the
tenant will agree to furnish him in
the fall of 19J2 one turkey for each
acre in the farm. He believes that
by this method he would be getting
the "long end" of the bargain with

Fines More Than Pay
Dry Agents' Expenses
. Fines collected from liquor con

he took office will more than pay .for
the cost of maintaining the prohibi
tion dcDartmcnt in Nebraska for a
whole year, U. S. Rohrer, federal pro
hibition enforcement officer, an
nounced yesterday.
He enumerated $6,000 collected in
fines in federal court here; $6,000
more in Lincoln and other districts
in the state; $6,000 in taxes paid to
the internal revenue department, and
$20,000 pending in forfeited bonds he
cxnects to collect. .-'"
"Besides this we have dozens of
cases pending on which we are sure
of convictions and tines, but which
have not . been tried for want of a
iudec." said Rohrer." '
He states it costs about $30,000
annually to maintain his department.
Traffic Committee Not .
Opposed to Safety Zones
The traffic safety committee
wants it understood that it does not
oppose safety zones at street car
loading points. To the contrary,
it approves thehi, but in the notes
of a recent meeting an error in
transcript was made which indicated
that the committee had asked Po
lice Commissioner Dunn to remove
the safety zone markings. - The
notes should have referred to the
"warts" which have been placed in
the middle of several street inter
sections. These "warts," the com
mittee points out, become covered
with snow arid are therefore, diffi
cult to see. The committee wants
them removed until spring.

iNight Session Held.
Lincoln. Neb., ' Jan. 7. (Special
Telegram.) Federal Judge T. C.
Munger dismissed cpntcmpt ot court
charges against 12 of 18 striking
Nebraska City packing house em
ployes because court records failed
to . show that a restraining order
against more than one picket at the
exit and one picket at the entran:e
to the packing house had been served
personally on them.
Those against whom the charge
was dismissed included nine women,
who appeared in court.
1 lie judge held that action ot
packing house officials in placing 500
copies of the restraining order in
the union hall and having copies of
ii published in a Nebraska City
newspaper was not sufficient.
It involves a charge and personal
service is necessary, tne judge
ruled.
Charges against six men strikers,
who, according to records, were
served personally, were heard late
this afternoon and at 6 the j'udge:
ordered a recess until 8, saying thar?
the hearings must be concluded to

only persons they recognized in the
crowd was Sheriff Fischer and a
deputy sheriff. Judge Munger aided

to refresh memories of the strikers
as to identity "of others but failed.

Topeka Insurance Association

Disproved in Court.
, Officials of the ; Security Benefit
association of Topeka, Kan.,' an . in
surance association with 10,000 mem
bers in Nebraska, have made vigor
ous denial of charges made by Ne
braska insurance examiners in a re
port filed at Lincoln a week ago.
. The report criticised the handling
cf certain matters in 'connection with
a mergtr of the association and the
National American Insurance com
pany of Kansas City. This criticism,
officials of the society declare, is sub
stantially the same as that which
formed the basis of legal action in
Kansas some time ago. Suit was
brought by he atorncy gencraf of

receiver to close the association's
affairs. .
"The trial judge found no evidence
of fraud and confirmed the acts of
the association against which com

"As to its financial condition, the
court held as follows:
" 'The defendant association i
actually and actuarially solvent and
amply "able, under its present laws
and with its assets, to meet all lawful
claims lor death, and disability bene
fits arising from its certificates.'"
"Inasmuch as . these matters have

Kenublic Passes Into History
at 9:10 Saturday Night
When Members Vote
Approval of Treaty.
"DIa Harris" MfW Tnrlav
By JOHN STEELE.
Clilraco Tribune (able. Copyright, 19!S.
Dublin, Jan. 7. The republic of
Ireland is dead; long live the Irish
Free State.
The republic died at 9:10 p. m.
tonight when the chairman of Dail
F.ireann announced a vote on the
treaty. Sixty-four voted for the
treaty and 57 against it.
Before the vote was announced the
news of how it was going had
reached the many thousands as
sembled outside the National univer
sity and round after round of cheers
disturbed the cdlui of the assembly,
which a few minutes later was
thrown into as great a fever of ex
citement itself.
The end came after the long, weary
debate lasting nearly a month, with
an interruption for the Christmas
holidays, and the best speech in
favor of ratification was made this
afternoon by Cathal Brugha, the
minister of defense, who has been a
bitter opponent of any settlement
with England. His speech must have
won votes for the treaty by the vio
lence of his attacks on Arthur Grif
fith and Michael Collins.
' Sneers at Griffith.
He sneered at Mr. Griffith as a
man who would never have taken
part in public life except for the re
public and denied that , Mr. Collins
had a military record, saying he was
only a subordinate commander and
accusine him of seekintr nublicitv.
In defending Erskine Childers. Mr. '
Brugha said that Mr. Childers had
done more than any one man to arm
the Irish people. :
Mr, Griffith, summing up in favor

01 .we treaty, raaac a masieriy
speech lasting over an hour. He
protested in a dignified manner
against attacks on his cersonal in
