Hinges on Unionization

?Scores Owners' Attitude
By Gilman Parker
WASHINGTON, April 3.?John
* LeTvis, president of the Unite]
jjine Workers of America, to-dny
jiidthe case for the striking minera |
before Congress and through that j
igdy officially before the American '
?tople.
Out of the voluminous mass of
dita he presented in arraying the
mum of the miners and in ar
raipning the star.d of tho operators
there *ere tv,'? cardinal facts over
(hsdowir.gr all ehe at the clos* of j
the day's-hearings before the House]
Committee on Labor, which is sitting
fa judgment on what Mr. Lewis has
to wy i" connection with the Bland
resolution calling for an investiga?
tor, of the coal industry.
?h? Hist of these points was that
tfc? miners called upon Congress for
rationalization o? th? country's coal
mitts.
Theieccr.d was that Mr. Lewis, after
tabling that they remain willing to '
Beet the operators of the central :
?oBpetitive field in the hope of sot- j
!....? m.* tuu? .''na reaching a new |
?rape and working egreemen '.. dee!-trod I

f r al? other district agreements with i
the union, as the central competitive)
(Id bat ilgured in tho past,
WoaU Unionize All Fields
0' what was nearly of equal irn
P'T-.ice to these two points was a
'''? ' of the miners' statement de&l
!n; with the non-union coal fields. In
tan #.*? Lewis, declaring that peace
aid stabilization in the industry would
b; impossible without unionization of
jh? miners, in effect asked Congress
to prerlde mean? tor assisting tho
aineri to unionize the West Virginia
t^d other non-union fields. It ia the
want statua of these fields which
famished the underlying reason for
the refusal of tho western Tennsyl
?inia and southern Ohio operators to
nect the miners in accordance with the
??central competitive field agreement,
the operators declaring that the non?
union West Virginia mines supplied
t competition which they could not
a?t. *
Th? declaration fo-oring nationall
?tloti of the minis vas based on the
JMi'ise that the miners "have finally
TO up all hopo o? relie' fron: the
?paters" in the matter o? reforming
tat industry and placing it on a
?Wised basis.
^"In default of any other remedy, the
? workers seriously suggest that
'??e jevernment take over and operate
* mines," said Mr. Lewis. "Con
'?wed, ai we are, that It is a step in
'* fight direction, we urge its con

N A city street of Moscow or Petrograd?A long line of people stands ;
patiently, basket in hand, hugging: the line of houses. No need o? a
gendarme here. The people are quiet enough. They have been
standing so for hours waiting for the ration of bread or dried fish that is
their daily dole. The line moves slowly. Before the last are served the
doors are closed. Supplies are exhausted. All go off together, and one
cannot tell from their actions which have been fortunate and which un?
fortunate?which have bread end which go home empty-handed.
In a railway station?Thousands of people are packed on the floor?,
on bags of food and of old clothing. They live in such clo.se proximity
that vermin abound. They are the refugees from a famine district,
moving they know not whither, searching for plenty and marooned on
the way. From this room every day twenty corpses arc taken, victims of
typhus, the scourge of crowding and dirt.

All of these i:i one way or another
represent the famine as it is lived in
Russia to-day.
In tho present population of Russia
four cirieaes stand out?the profiteers,
contented and prosperous; tho work?
ing people, cynical after the collapse
of the high hopes of the first revolu?
tionary years; the intellectuals, still
dased by terror and privations and suf?
fering from shell shoe!;; and the peas
arts, steadfast in their faith in the soil
of Mother Russia but thinking deep
and unaccustomed thoughts. Of these
claescs the flrbt three belong to the
city. The peasant belong? to the coun?
try.
Profiteer One of Few
Getting Enough iu Eat
The profiteer is the only man in Rus
?ia to-day, outside of the soldiers and
government employee?, in special serv?
ice, who is obtaining enough food. All
the others are on starvation ration.-,,
and the intellectuals and the peasants
are starving to death.
Until recently the peculiar organiza?
tion, of tho Soviet government, by
which foodstuiTs were drawn from the
country into the city by both govern?
ment draft and the pressure of specu?
lative prices, protected the city at tin
expense of the country. To-day th?
country has been sucked dry and starva?
tion is menacing not only the peajian'
on the land but the worker in the citj
and tuo members of tho governmenl
itself.
When one comes to see a famin<
close at hand it is an astoundinj
thing, full of surprises and mystifica
tiens, displaying unexpected disposi
tions in old "human nature. We hat
thought- of famine as a panorama o:
death. It is not so. Death conceal:
itself, Hungry people hide in thci:
holes.
We hare thought of a famine-strick
en city as one in which there is n<
food in sight. It is quito as likely ti
be a city in which there is too mucl
food in eight, There is even a ten
dency on the part of those with i
surplus of paper money ta cat to
much.
With memories of bread riots an
the French Revolution in our minds, w
have thought of angry crowds drive:
to desperation by lack of bread. Revo
iutions do not start in this mannei
Famine loosens the bonds of co-opera
tion; creates irrational pockets i
men's minds; starts them oil" o

Details of a system o; graft involv?

grants over a period o? a year and so
apparently widespread an to cause gov?
ernment officials to believe that only .-.
few of th< offenders have been found
cut became public yesterday with the
handing u?j to Federal Judge Mack of
indictments against four immigration
inspectors and one outsider. They are
charged variously with accepting
bribes in order to pass aliens into the
country, conspiracy for the samo pur?
pose, alteration of government records
and admitting aliens in defiance of law.
Those named in tho indictment re?
turned by the United States grand jury
are William Alexander, William Leon?
ard, John Donovan and Jeremiah Fitz?
gerald, all government inspectors under
the jurisdiction of the Commissioner
of Immigration ai Ellis Island, who,
since the investigation instituted by
Commissioner Robert E. Tod revera!
weeks ago, either have b^en suspended
from duty, dismissed or have resigned,
and Tobias Levy, a barber charged with
obtaining the unlawful admission of a
relative suffering from a contagions
disease. Bench warrants for the arrest
of all five vera issued immediately
following the filing of the indictments.
G'.-ift Ring Js Widespread
According to .Samson Selig, assistant
United States attorney who prepared
the caso baaed on tho evidence un?
earthed by Commissioner Tod, a part
of which was embraced In an account
published in The Tribune threo weeks
ago, the investigation thus, far has
only scratched the surface of a con?
dition which the Commissioner of Im?
migration and his assistants are de?
termined to stamp out. The graft,
ring is known to involve landing
agents of steamship companies, who
arc said in numerous instances to have
connived with certain inspectors to
bring about tho admiwjion of aliens for
fees ranging from $2? to ?l?O a per- j
son, . ;:d, in cases where tho aliens in I
question would have been regularly ad- ,
mittod anyway, to have extorted money :
from them on the pretense that their '
papers had been improperly drawn.
Working with the inspectors wero.
besides the landing agents, relatives of j
aliens arriving on incoming liners and
in some cases ticket agents.
"Our evidence shows that in a single
day the graft has run anywhere from !
$5 to $1,500," said Mr. Selig. "In all
of these cases in which indictments [
have been drawn the evidence has been
obtained by Mr. Tod through examina?
tion of manifests and other government
records extending for a year back.!
The results show in a remarkable v,-ay j
to what extent the graft has flour- ;
?shod. Tho investigation by no means
has been completed. Wa believe there j
will be many more indictment?. Thus
fa? none of the landing agents or others i
believed to be implicated in tho con- I
spiracy have been investigated.''
There have been bints of gi'aft in |
connection with the admission of aliens :
through Ellis Island and local steam- :
ship piers for two years back. During
the administration of Commissioner ?
Wallis, who preceded Mr. Tod as Immi- I
gration Commissioner here, there were ?
virtual admissions that the Krr.ft ex- i
istc'ct. Just what measures were taken j
to copo with the situation revealed in
the evidence submitted to the grand ?
jury recently by Mr. Tod and Mr. Selig I
was not disclosed. So far as known tho i
?rand jury action yesterday is the first ?
definite step toward the elimination of J
this condition.
Simple- to Gain Admission
It was a simple matter to obtain the j
admission of a relative if one "stood
in" with a landing agent, an inspector I
or ticket agent, it is declared. Neces- ]
sary to this delicate contact was a fee, j
large or small, depending on the finan-1
:ial ability of the persons wanting to !
expedite the entry of a relative from !
overseas. Ju same instances the "bar- !
;ain" was sealed in a sociable way, via1
a glass of beer or other Epirituous j
Irink obtainable by thirsty government j
inspectors only in the steerage com- !
lartmont of a steamship.
One man who sought the admission j
if fourteen relatives due on ti certain |
liner paid $10 a head to the inspector
ind landing agent, who did the job with
celerity. Sometimes the landing agent!
(vould offer to laud the alien relative !

MOSCOW, April 3 (By The AssocI-,
ated Press;.? Tho requisitioning of
church treasures is in full Bwing
throughout Russia, but under the
tensest circumstances. From ten
provinces there already have been col?
lected seventy pounds of gold and
17,820 pounds of silver.
From six churches in the outlying
districts of Moscow reqi isitioning
parties on Sunday obtained 3,132
pounds of silver, a quantity of gold
and ?twenty-four diamonds. Two
synagogues yielded seventy-one pounds
of silver and two golden articles. In
one synagogue the custodians were ar?
rested because ten valuable articles
that had been listed were missing.
Up to March churches in the
government of Viatka had yielded
two and one-third pounds, or about
4,500 carats of diamonds and nearly
ren pounds of pearls and other jewels.
The centra! committee of the Mos?
cow province Communist party has or?
dered Communists to surrender all
their gold, silver and jewels, with the
exception of Bolshevik decoration?, for
the ' bcr.e'it of the famine-stricken
people.
I in tho presence of Bishop Antonin. to
smelt the gold and silver confiscated.
The famine committee has asked the
government to advance i.000,000 gold
: rubles against the valuables already
secured tri?t it may immediately pur
chase bread abroad.
There has bee;: some rioting, but
generally r.o active resistance to actual
seizures has occurred. The "Izvestia"
! says thaia collision between a requi
1 sitioning party and church members
! h.-is taken place at Smolensk, and that
there were some casualties. Another
newspaper reports a riot between "oid
women and raiders" at one ot the Mos?
cow churches Sunday.
While gold, silver and jewels are
! pouring in from all sidei on the famine
! committee, the "Pravda" and the "Iz

plies .'-ion of the same stringent mein
' ods which are used on counter revolu
? tionaries to the princes of the church

directly opposing the requiritions.

Self-Su staining Incandescent
A concise and non-technical descr!
tion of the lamp for winch such rev
i lutionary possibilities are assert
| would be, according to one of the cc
poration's founders, that "it is a se
sustaining incandescent electric lig
that will burn for a long period of til
without connection to any source
electric power other than itself. T
ii ventiou of which it is a part incluci
;- dynamic apparatus for charging t
lamps by atmospheric induction at t
factory so that they can be shlpp
out and guaranteed to remain light
continuously for any desired period
to several years."
Attached to each lamp, it is said, w
be a metallic device similar to t
petals of a (lover, which may be open
out or contrac- ed at will as light
darkness is desired, since, once start
the lamp cannot be extinguish) d.
Another .remarkable feature of t
Tomadelli light, it is declared, is tl
is produces light without any waste
energy in generating heat, or, in otl
words, that it embodies the "c<
light," for whose discovery electrb
engineers and scientists have spc
great sums in experimentation. T
temperature of tho "wireless light"
said to remain at about !0 degrt
above freezing point on the Eahrenh
scale, as compared with a lient; of 1
degrees or more, generated by a hif
voltage incandescent bulb of the i
dinary type.
Discoverer an Italian
Juan J. Tomadelli, Italian civil a
electro-mechanical engineer, is credit
with tho discovery that makes ?
self-sustaining lamp possible. He
forty-four years old and was educai
at the University of Zurich, the U
versity of Turin and the Polytech:
of Vienna. In the latter he was
two years assistant to Dr. II. Alb
Sicherman, professor of electri
science in that institution, with wh
he is declared to have done extens
electrical research work. Tomad?
then spent a number of years assi
ing in the compilation of a techni
encyclopedia, and later lie was cal
to tho Argentine Republic to t;
charge of a large electrical constr
tion program. lie became chief en
ncer of public works there, and
about three years was occupied in
installation of power plants and cl
trie railways.
While in the Argentine it is s
Mr. Tomadelli developed his Io
cherished plans for a practical wo
ing apparatus for producing wirel
light. He resigned from hir-, posit
and spent four and a half years r.
fecting his. invention. H<i succee
in charging a'number of ?amps, ?
it is said that one of them, of wli
photographs are shown by the c
portation, had burned continuously
more than seven months when

Four Halt Trip for Luncheon
After the hearing there McMahon i
and Brown started back for the Tombs j
| with one of the other prisoners, who [
I was in charge of Keeper Martin Kane.
For some reason which Warden Han-1
ley of the Tombs has not yet discov- j
creel the quartet decided to stop at a
restaurant at 116th Street and Lenox
Avenue for lunch.
Whatever its other allurements may |
have been for Brown, it was a restau
rant that was liberal with its pepper, i
The pepper pots" wore big and broad
gauged and delivered a spicy shower
even when delicately manipulated. '
Brown reached for the pepper frequent
ly, but subsequent development proved!
that he had no fault to find with the I
seasoning of the dishes. He was pep- !
poring his pocket, not his food.
>,"car the end of a hearty meal Brown j
reached in his pocket as though for
cigarettes. Withdrawing his hand, he i
thrust it sharply toward McMahon, j
opening it as he did bo. The keeper
almost fell from his chair as the pep?
per struck him fairly in tho eyes.
The instant lie had thrown it Brown
leaped from his seat and made for the
door. McMahon, blinded and dazed,
thought only of his duty of sticking to
his prisoner, and staggered after him,
heedless of the shouts of Kane, who
was compelled to remain with tho other

Gypsies, Sought
Kidnappers, Loc?
The band of gypsies for which the]
Jersey City polico have been searching j
since the disappearance cf Jimmy Gias3
from Greeley, Pa., May 12, 1915, from
where ho wa3 believed to have been .
kidnapped while be was on a vacation ;
with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Glass, of 13 Lineau Place, Jersey City,
was located yesterday in Philadelphia.:
While Police Captain James Roooey
and three members of the Pennsylvania
state constabulary talked with the
band';: chief, John Cruse, for several '
hours, they were unable to learn any?
thing about the missing boy. The
chief denies knowing of the lad's dis?
appearance, but upon severe grilling
confessed that his daughter. Rose, and
part of his tribe had migrated to Ar- j
gen tina.
John Bentley, Director of Public Safetv !
of Jersey City, after receiving Captain!
Rooney'a report, wrote to United States |
Senator Edge requesting him to use |
hia influence with President Harding;
to have the government open an ?nves- |
tigation of the case to learn if the j
missing boy is with the members of
Cru '.?'e band in tho Argentine Republic.
Jimmy Glass disappeared when he I
bor to acquaint tho Deputies with the
real situation. This statement brought
Briand to his feet instantly, and he
indignantly denied that Franco had
been humiliated at Washington. He
said that friends of Franco in America
would be indignant at the language
used in the Chamber.
"I repeat," shouted Tardieu, "that
Sarraut was shoved aside during the
five weeks' discussion among the
United States, England and Japan, and
was not admitted until several demands
had been made. J repeat that it was
a humiliating procedure for us."
Tardieu asserted that the three great
naval powers had always hud a ten?
dency to exclude France from naval
affairs, and "it remains for the French
govrnment now to claim the right to
which it is entitled."
Tardieu's outbreak came after a

BERLIN, April ,'J.? Germany and
Soviet Russia will stand together at
the conference in Genoa. Although
the details of the negotiation conduct?
ed between Foreign Minister Tchitchc
rin and representatives of the Ger?
man government and industries during
tho last few days are withheld, this
much has been learned: Germany and
Soviet Russia to a large extent will
support each other's proposals before
the conference. Likewise it is learned
that tho Russians and Germans have
reached an agreement on Germany's
partcipation in tho rehabilitation of
Russia's economic life.
This arrangement follows upon the
withdrawal of Walther Rathenau's
plan for the exploitation of the pros?
trate empire, which met with strong
resistance from the Soviet and pro?
voked a bitter feeling against Get- ?
many in the Russian press.
Rathenau Caused Overtures to France
It is said here that Germany's first
plan was so unsatisfactory that it
brought about tho recent overtures to
France. Whatever lack of success at?
tended tho advances to France it is
certain that they had tho effect of
forcing Rathenau to revise his orig?
inal program to the satisfaction of
Moscow.
That the decision of the Reparation
Commission in the matter of the mora?
torium and tho attitude of Premier
Poincare toward the Genoa confer?
ence have served to throw Russia into
Germany's arms is the opinion ex?
pressed both in Germany and Allied
circles here to-day. To celebrate the
Russo-German understanding Chan?
cellor Wirth to-day received the Rus?
sia* delegation, including Tchitcherin,
Litvinoff, Rakowsky and Radek, at a,
breakfast that was attended by many
prominent Germans, including indus?
trial leaders and politicians of high
rank. Financiers and journalists also
were present.
After reaching tin economic under?
standing the Russians and the Germans
also put the finishing touches^ on the
Agreement whereby the former imperial

LONDON, April 2.?Premier
Lloyd George appealed to the House
of Commons to-night for indorse?
ment of the government's Genoa con?
ference policy and got a vote of con?
fidence, o72 to 9-1. The mam plank
of the British Genoa program, the
Premier said, v/ould be qualified
recognition of the Soviet govern?
ment.
Tho overwhelming- vote of confix
denco marked another personal tri?
umph in the stormy career of tho
little Welshman. Corning back to
public life after nearly a month of
KecluHon in his native hills, Lloyd
George faced many enemies v.-i < , :
his absence, had been plotting his
overthrow. In carefully choseq
words he broke down the attacks
made upon him, tore asunder the
Laborite resolution that would havv)
declared him incompetent to go to
Genoa as the representative bf the
British people, and finally threw
down the challenge demanding a vote
of confidence of tho internal i I >;1
program he liad outlined.
Soviet Pledge? Demanded
Under the Premier's Genoa p'al
the Bolsheviki will be called upon to
respect private property, acknowl?
edge their debts and promise not to
attack neighboring states. They will
also be asked to refrain from sub?
versive propaganda abroad. If Rus?
sia accepts these conditions, the pro?
cedure, the Premier said, would be
the same as followed in the case cf
Germany after the signing of the
Treaty of Versailles.
A period of probation probably will
be established before full diplomatic
negotiations are resumed.
"There will be no diplomatic repre?
sentations in the case of Russia until
the powers are satisfied that Russia
really is endeavoring to carry out the
terms of her undertakings," declared
the Premier. These conditions are to
bo submitted to the conference by tho
British delegation. "We propound in
all conscience.'' ?aid the Premier,
"that the people of England demand
them, Europe needs them and the
worid ?3 crying for them."
Red Army Menace to Peace
In defence of bis policy of ncg-oliat
in? with the Bolshaviki Lloyd George
referred to Pitt's position after the
French revolution. There could be no
peace in Europe, he raid, until Rus?
sia's Red army was reduced and T.js
sla was again helping to feed the
world. Russia, he said, was the largest
undeveloped continent in the world
and its need was capita!, which it
could not get until peace had been re?
stored inside as well as outside its
borders.
The Allies, lie ss!d, rsked Russia to
recognize her debts, but they had no
expectation that she v.-<juld be able to
meet them Immediately?any mere
than France could meet her debts to
America. With his usual optimism, the
Premier eaid be ?tlroady could discern
great improvement in Russia, and quot?
ed, a speech by L?nine made last No?
vember in which the hitter ?aid: "If
capitalism is toing to win and grow, so
will industrial production, and with it
tho proletariat, inasmuch as large in?
dustrial factories have stopped with
tho disappearance of capitalism.''
Parliament to Ratify Plan
Any agreement with the Bolshevik!
must be ratified by Parliament, the
Premier declared, amid cheers. The
only alternative to recognition, he
said, was to wait until the Bolshevik]
disappeared, and that might be in yoar$
that Europe could not afford to lose.
He was convinced, he said, that tne
workmen of Europe, with all the pres?
ent unemployment, were not prepared
to wait.
Referring to the recent by-e'.ectionn
the Premier said he was in the habit
of facing unpleasant facts, adding that
he had seen articles in French news?
papers saying that the British govern?
ment was losing support. With a bold?
ness that recalled his old fighting
days he proceeded to turn the govern?
ment's reverses to account, asserting
that those who suffered were ?t?e men
who favored a cautious approach to?
ward the Russian government.
When Lloyd George arose to ?peek
he was greeted with prolonged cheers.
He offered a motion approving the
resolution passed by the Cannes con?
ference as a basis for the Genoa meet?
ing. Tills resolution road:
