REDS GAIN POWER INBRITISH LABOR Bolshevik Propaganda Army Is Causing Much Alarm in Isle. in BY A. G. By_Radio to The Star, LONDO! ptember 12.—A great battle is raging within the labor movement and the trades union con gress this week has cleared the decks for a momentous decision. The plain issue can no longer be dodged. 1Is labor going bolshevik or will it continue to stand for constitu- tional methods and paliamentary gov- ernment? Extre the lead- ership of A. J atley and other direct actionists have forced the pace so furiously that moderates who heretofore have turned a blind to the challenge now are brought to face with the fact that the whole movement is in imminent peril of being stampeded into a war on so- clety for the overthrow of capitalism and the substitution of a workers’ soviet for parllamentary government. GARDINER. Encouraged by Coal Issue. The action of the “buying nine mon p trade has encouraged the Commu nists to aim at a coup detat. The m is to enroll all trade unic in one giant body, invest the general council with complete executive pow ers, convert every strike into a gen- eral assault on society, make the whole capitalist system unworkable, bring the fabric to the ground and erect on the s a Communist regime controlled by the workers' soviet Wheatley, W most formidable lea thinks the overthr plished next May, v in the coal trade el between capit should com government in s intellectually the r of th can n the : 1d the Commu admits the issue He says if work- e on working- n may win; if n will fall He rmy. ss soldiers will f strikers ca they do nc Great suspicion pre to the nature of the pror army and rumors are abroad that the government contemplates dramatic ac- tion, Wheatley Is Evasive. Wheatley, challenged leader of the Transport Ser ers, with the D d the strikers_arm?” the point. He does not discourage arms, but he is careful not to bring himself law 1 gravity of this move- ment overshadowed the Trades Union ress, which closed at Scarborough tremif: made a he capture of the he terest of the full Wheatley program. The result was the defeat of the reds, but evidences of growth of their power within the movement are remarkable. ' A strong tendency prevails to_break away from the parliamentary Labor party and act on independent lines. But the congress did not accept two vital proposals of the extremists. It refused by a large majority to amal- gamate all unions in one homogeneous body. It also declined to commit it- self to the idea of making the general council a sort of a war ministry of la bor. On the latter point, however, the rejection was not absolute. The ques- tion was referred back to constituent bodies. This undoubtedly was a consplcuous victory for the reds, as also was the resolution establishing of shop committees, s declared by the extremists to be essential for the purpose of un- dermining the capitalist system. Concerned About Future. generally agreed that the congress, while hesitating at the cross- roads, has shown a decided leaning to the Left and among the more rgspons}. ble leaders much concern prevails a: to the future, especially in view of the grave issues pending in connection with the coal situation. The parliamentary Labor party has certainly lost ground since the labor government fell. Trades unionism, which provides voting and money power to the movement, has been dis contented with the attitude of the po- litical wing, especially Ramsay Mac- he extremists have taken e of this discontent to preach of disregarding Parliament g on direct action. own impression is that ss has cleared the air, that it rown the issue into sharp out- 1t last compelled labor serfously to ask where it is going and that the more the question is L cussed the more the strength of the moderate constitutional element will be revealed. The emists have prospered be- cause the moderates avoided the chal- lenge. But now the plain question, “Should the strikers arm?” is bring. 1ng labor up abruptly to consideration of what revolutionary propaganda. in- volves, and the writer believes the tendency will be to draw back from the brink of the precipice.

The seaplane had drifted 45 miles in the nine days it was afloat. The crew had gone for four days with- out food, but water caught from rain and distilled from the sea kept them aliv imultaneously with receipt of the glad news of the rescue in Washing- ton, the Navy Department announced the assignment of Comdr.

An Associated Press correspondent at Geneva wrote last week that the prospects for a European security treaty among the allied and central powers now seem bright and there is every indication that a meeting be- tween the foreign ministers of the al- lied powers and Germany will be held in some Swiss city some time early in October for discussion of the treaty. Economics. Following the return to Washington of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon last week it became known that the Treasury program for tax leglsla contemplates a maximum surtax rate of 20 per cent, repeal of the publicity section of the income tax law and a lowering, if not a complete elimina tlon, of tax on estates. »m_another guarter comes a_dif- | ferent forecast. Representative Mar- tin B. Madden, chairman of the House appropriations committee, believes that it wills be possible to’ shave ap- propriations by $125,000,000 during the next fiscal year, and that a tax reduc- tion of $325,000,000 will be possible. Climination of the inheritance tax and reduction of the maximum surtax to 15 per cent was forecast by Mr. Mad He also believes the normal ra of taxes on {incomes up to $5,000 should be lowered to 1 per cent. Taxes on theaters and automobiles, com monly classed among the ‘‘nuisance’ should be repealed, Mr. Madden .

By cable to The Star and New York World. LONDON, September 12.—"From Ducal Mansion to laundry" sounds like a take-off on the title of such old boy- hood volumes as “From Log Cabin to White House.” But it is the actual description of the latest move of the Dowager Duchess of Rutland, mother of Lady Diana Duff Cooper of ‘‘Mir- acle” fame. The duchess has just moved from her old residence on Arlington street, which was the town house of the Dukes of Rutland 200 years, to a little stone lodge acrobs the courtyard. The place used to be the laundry of the big house. In two rooms there—bed and sit- ting room—she has installed herself, using for furniture and decoratfons the things from the mansion which she bought in when its contents were auctioned recently. The famous Arlington street house itself s to be sold. A narrow flight of stone steps leads up to the lodge sitting room, which the duchess has furnished in eastern fashion with curlos she collected on many journeys throughout the world. ‘The ironing board now serves as stand for a pair of beautiful Chinese vases while above the quaint fireplace— formerly the laundry grate—hangs one of the Rutland ancestral por- traits. A mellow-toned spinet occuples one corner of the room. The change is only the latest of a long series of examples showing how the wealth of England is passing from the old titled landed aristocracy into the hands of business, industrial and financial mag- nates. | RICHMOND LINE SOLD. | $450,000 for Bus Concern Includes Liabilities.
