the time has come to drop all preju

the aims and activities of all Chris

organic’ unity, but the formation of
city, ecounty and State federations
with all Protestant churches as mem
bers. These federations will be de
cided upon various projects with the
purpose of getting the 25,000,000 Prot
estynts in the United States behind
the movements. s g
The only semblance of organic uni
ty, It was proposed, would come in
encouraging the unifieation of
branches of the same denomination
and the uniting of denominations

A. B. Garretson, of “Big Four
Brothérhoods, Says Labor Is
Entitled to Better Return. J
(By International News Service.) ‘
WASHINGTON, Feb, 12.~~That
America's railway workers will de
mand in the near future even higlwr%
wages than they dre now receiving, |
was indicated by A. B. Garretson, rva;
resenting the “big four” railway
brotherhoods, before the Senate inter- |
state commerce committee today. {
“Labor is entitled to a far better
return than it has thus far received,”|
said Garretson. ‘
He believed the wages of railway
workers should be determined by a
“fairly balanced tribunal” with nei-‘
ther officials nor labor representa
tives in a position to dictate the re
sult, }
“The ‘scheme for fixing a minimum
wage for all classes of industry,” (;ar-;
retson said, “was nothing but an ef-}
fort to patch up a defective economy
system.
“If a minimum wage of $25 a day
were set,” he declared, "labor would
be no better off than it is today. The
increase would be passed on to the
consumer and in the end each work
man’s wage would come out of his
own pocket.” .
Wage Raise Prontised
To Miners in Britain
(By International News Service.)
SOUTHPORT, ENGLAND, Feb, 12.
A wage increase and amelioration of
working conditions were promised by
the Government to the miners in a
statement read to the miners’ feder
ation here this afternoon. The Gov
ernment’s reply was in response to
the most radical of the labor demands
thus far presented by the miners‘l
federation. The demands included a
30, per cent wage increase, a six-hour
day and nationalization of mines. {
The Government proposes an ad
vance of a shilling a day from Pph»}
ruary 1, stating that this is equiv
alent to the rise in the cost of living i
Also the Government announced its‘
intention to appoint a strong repre
senative committee to which the
miners are asked to nominate dele
gates, The purpose of this com«<
mittee is to inquire into the condi
tion of the coal trade generally,
thereby determining whether further
adjustment of wages and hours are
cempatible with industrial demands.
Another concession by the Govern
ment was the complete discharge of
demobilized men with the guaran
tee that they would be reinstated in
their old jobs in the mines (which
they had left to join the army) at
full pre-war pay Disabled men in
training are to get allowances pend -
ing their ability to take up a pro
ductive oceupation
The Government promises allow
ances for men who are out of work
as a result of the faet that previous-
Iv demobilized soldiers got their jobs.
The Government’s position is that
i* is impossible to give the miners
different demobilization terms from
those promised other industries. The
miners' reception of the Govern
ment's reply will have a rhost impor
tant bearing upon the present labor
unrest generally.

Thousands of Interned Germans
. - .
and Austrians Also To Be Ship
ped Out, Gregory Says.
(By International News ‘Service.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. L.—Somg
5,000 Bolsheviki and I. W, W.'s are
slated for deportation as soon as the
facilities for getting them out of the
country are available,
This was revealed at the Depart
ment of Justice teday by John Lord
O'Brien, who has charge of this par
ticular phase of* the department's
work. He also let jt be known that
the department is gwaiting action by
Congress that will' peemit the depor
tation of the thousands of interned
Germans ¢nd Austrians in this coun
try who don’t come under’ the*alien
anarchist act—under which the others
are being rounded up.
The roundup of undesirables which
had its beginning in the Northwest
and resulted in a batch of prsoners
being taken to Elils Island, New York,
to await deportation, was planned by
the Department of Justice and Labor
Department months ago, following the
passage in October of the alien an
archist act, O'Brien stated.
Act Is Drastic.
This act he described as the most
drastic on the statue books of the
country, with the possible exception of
the alien internment measure. Under
its provisions, he stated, agitators
who preach the overthrow of the
Government may be rounded up and
sent from the country, evén wnlmnr
the formality of a trial. He, ex
plained that United States officials
would have undertaken action under
this law months ago, except that be
cause of war conditions it was impos
sible to return these men to the coun
tries whence they came. Conditions
in those countries and the submarine
menace wer two of the facto: that
prevented quicker action,
Watched for Months.
All of those who already have been
arrested and those whose arrests are
scheduled have been under surveil
lance for months, it was stated In
this comnection, agents of the Depart
ment of Labor' and the Department
of Justice of the Ameridan Protective
League and the military intelligence
branth of the general staff co-oper
ated. Through their activities all ag
itators under suspicion were closely
watched, and the Department of Jus
tice kept fully informed of their every
move., In fact, the record of surveil
lance int some instances extends baeck
as far as two vears, or from the date
that special agents of the burean of
immigration of the Department of La
ber were sent into the Middle West
and the Far West,
The batch now being htld at Ellis
Island, it was stated, all will be sent
to Russian and Scandinavian ports,
This does not mean, it was stated,
that theyv are necessarily Russians
and Scandinavians, but that these are
the ports from which they originally
sailed and through which they will
have no difficulty in reaching their
homes
“The Department of Justice makes
no distinction between the so-called
‘parlor reds’ and the brickyard reds,’ "
said Attorney General Gregory in al
lowing it to become known that there
are “tens of thousands’ of individual
records on file in the department
Thus the department is able to keep

| ~ BY G. BERNARD SHAW.
(Copyright, 1918, by Star Company.)
LONDON, Feb. 9-—Anyone who has fully grasped
the situation of the Kuropean Powers, and mastered the
history of the war, a liberty whidh none of the bellig
erents could permit even to themselves in private before
the armistice, but which js now not anly free to us all,
but highly desirable, will be staggered by a second read
ing of Mr. Wilson’s speeches of January 8, 1918 (the
fourteen points), and his elucidation of it on Septem
ber 27.
When these speeches were delivered, they passed
for an arraignment of the Central Empires and a de
mand upon them for securities for good behavior,
Today they have scarcely any meaning except as
against Mr. Wilson’s own allies.. One can almost hear
'Mr. Balfour, Lord Grev and Lord Robert Cecil, M.
Pichon, M. Poincare and Baron Sonnino, saving:
“I trust vou don’t mean us,”” and Mr. Wilson re
plving, with his jaw set in a halo of his famous smile:
“You are too modest, gentlemen.. I do mean vou, and,
the Central Powers being now disposed of, nobody
else.”’ .
WILSON “CAPTURED’’ LONDON.
It may prove that at this point the fat is in the fire.
That French diplomats and English country gentle
men of £30,000 a wear are to allow themselves to be
schoolmastered by an American professor is a phenom
enon which to them! will appear nothing short ol
apocalyptic; and some of them have given anguished
expression to this feeling in private.
But the President’s extraordinary personal success
in London has put an end to such snobbish recaleitrance
in England. Today the role of Charlemange is to him
who can play it; the tiara to him who can pontificate.
After the banguet at Buekingham Palace and the
reception at the Guild Hall, no doubt remained as to
who was king, by divine right of character and per
sonality, in Western Europe. 1
PRESIDENT'S VIEWS WIN OUT. |
But even whilst Mr. Wilson was speaking at the
Guild Hall, the votes cast at the general election a fort
night before were being counted:; and next dav the
count revealed an overwhelming majority in Pill'li:l—1
ment for the party against which Mr. Wilson will have
to fight tooth and nail in the Peace Conference if he is
to carry his fourteen points. |
“1 find in my welcome,” said the President at thv\
Guild Hall, **the thought that thev (the allied nations)
have fought to do awayv with the old order and establish
a new one, and that the kev of the old order was that
unstable thing which we used to eall the balance of
power, a thing which was determined by the sword
which was thrown in on the one side or the other; a
balance which was maintained by jealous \\';m-ht'nhwss‘
and an antagonism of interests which, though it \\'us}
generally latent, was alwavs deep-seated.” }
Unfortunately, the old order was just then receiv
ing a five vears’ lease of parliamentary supremacy from
that proportion (about half) of the vegistered electors
of the United Kingdom which took the trouble to vote. |
As far as they can be said to have voted for any
thing definite, thev voted for hanging the Kaiser: and
the degree of their political sagacity mav be inferred
from the fact that in order to secure that satisfaction
they put into power the party which will certainly do its
hest to restore the Prussian monarchy, and which is in
svmpathy with Mr. Wilson's apponents in the United
States to such an extent that the first practical install
ment of the League of Nations looks very like a combi
nation of the British Government and the American op
position against the American Government and the Brit
ish opposition.
MUST BE ‘MAN OF DESTINY.”
All of which confirms the view that Mr. Wilson
will not be helped by party politics. He must make his
way as the Man of Destiny, depending for his support
an the hopes and fears of mankind, and on the urge of
evolution which inspires them, waving the mere votes
aside as an old hand who knows what votes are worth,
The c¢rux of the fourteen points is the League of
Nations; and what we have to consider now is what this
League must come to in practice,
At the Guild Hall Mr. Wilson deseribed it as “*not
one group of nations set against another, but a single,
overwhelming, powerful group of nations which shall
be the trustee of the peace of the world.” At which
there was immense cheering,
It will be observed that in this definition the grou
is only a group. “The parliament of man, the l'wh-r:k
tion of the world” is still out of the question: and
Anacharsis Klootz, orator of the human race, is still a
food and a FARCEUR. This is quite as it must he, For |

missiop develops suilicient unanimity
to secure the complete adoption of a
constitution, President Wilson must
‘hasten back to France at the earliest
possible moment. The eleventh-hour
league of nations holdup is very dis
appointing to the President and hiq«
close advisers.
When the second draft of the con
stitution was read Tuesday, opposi
tion developed at once. It is under
stood the question of using economic
weapons to prevent future wars was
involved,
Situation Acute.
The situation that developed was so
acute that the differences were re
ferred to the new subcommittee, com-~
posed of Ferdinand Larnaude, of
France; Lord Robert Cecil, of Eng
land; Premier Venizelos, of Greece,
and M, Vesnitch, of Serbia.
This committee was busy at work
today straightening out details in the
hope that the second reading of the
new draft tomorrow would see its
adoption. Whether the latest devel
spments in the leggue- of nations sit
uation will interfere with the holding
of a plenary session prior to the Pres.
ident's departure for Washington is a
question that could not be answered
today
While it is hoped that a plenary
session ‘can be held before Mr. Wil
son leaves, it is admitted the situation
is serious in this regard. Should the
President be unable to take a com
pleted draft of the copstitution back
with him to Washington, his quickest
possible return would become impera
tive,
In this event it is expected that
President Wilson would sail fer
'rance immediately after Congress
adjourned, probably about March 6.
In any event it is now certain that
Mr. Wilson must come back to France
shortly after reaching Washington.
