RUSSIANS GOING ~ DEEPLY IN DEBT re- London, Sept. 1, (Correspondence of the Associated Press.)—Interest ' on Russia’s state liabilities today amounts annually to approximately $643,500,000, according to a ate- ment issued from Omsk by the min- ister of finance of the Kolchak gov- eriment. In 1914 the natipnal debt was 8,- 637,000,000 rubles, the tement says. Internal war loans aggregat- ed 33,000,000,000 rubles while loans contracted abroad amount to 8,000,- 009,000 rubles, thus bringing the debt to a total of about 50,000,000,- 000 rubles. About 50,000,000 rubles wearly would be required for the emortisation of this tremendous sum. The statenient points out the fact that the figures quoted in rubles rep- resent fictitious values as the foreign { loans werc issued abroad in English, Ame French, apanese and Italian currencies which cannot be converted into rubles at the old gold rate of exchange Whereas France, in pre-war da was Russia’s largest creditor, it i noted that Great Rritain supplied the bulk of Russia financial require- ‘ments during hostilities with France, America, Japan and Italy ranking in the or named 162 TARRANT & HAFFEY, UNDERTAKERS Tel. 5-2—Any Hour, Day or Night 38 Myrtle Strect.

AS BRUTAL (Continued from First Page) Demands Freedom of Speech. “Only in the event of war,” the la- bor leader declared, “should rights of free speech and assembly be re- stricted. They should not be,” he said, “for a privateering corporation. “I know that many of the public authorities in districts of Pennsylvania are under the direct domination of the U. S. Steel Corp.,” the witness de- clared pounding the table. “The whole conduct of the strike in Pennsylvania show Mr. Gom- pers asserted, “that whatever helps the corporations against the workers will have the support of Pennsylvania authoritie: The corporation declares it proposes to run under the mis- nomer—the so-called open shop— but with all their power they have tried to keep a closed shop—closed against the union, closed against union men. “In response to the many requests | for organization from the men we sent a few agents into the field some years ago. They were arrested, driven out of the towns, one of them so bludgeoned that he died. “That was four or five years ago. He was Jefferson Davis Pierce of Worcester, Mass.'" Gompers told of the final decision of the American Federation of Labor 1918 to organize the men and de- scribed the methods used to finance the work.

Discussing profits in the steel in- dustry, Mr. Gompers cited a statement by Director - General Hines, of the Railroad administration, which showed that in 1918 the Steel corpor- unions to ' Gom- ation made 22 per cent. on its com- mon stock. “I understood Mr. Fitzpatrick to say the eight-hour day was granted by the Steel corporation,” remarked Senator Sterling. “By the efforts of the War Labor Board,” Gompers said, ‘“conditions were finally produced which induced the corporation to order the eight- hour day. But I understand it is still an order and not an actuality.” AT CENTRAL PARK In-bound Plainville Car Nearly Over- turned by Defective Switch— Slight Damages. A defective switch near the green today caused an inbound car to “split switch” and while one of the trucks of the car rounded the corner the oth- er remained on the straight track and headed south, causing the trolley ta be nearly overturned and resulting in the breaking of one of the springs and damaging several other minor parts of the car. The car was being towed into the car barn from the White Oak barns for repairs by one of the work trol- leys in charge of Motorman John Ma- loney. Both motors and the air brake appliances had been maved from the trolley and it was coupled with the work car. Soon after Motorman Ma- loney rounded the corner he heard the grating of the two trucks, both pull- ing in a different direction, and jam- med on his brakes in time to prevent the car from overturning or leaving the track. The splitting occurred at the same spot at which an inbound passenger car split last year, causing injuries to several people, and nearly costing the life of Benjamin Ives of Plainville. At that time the rubber had been remov- ed from the switch, allowing the rail ta slide easily WILL, ADDRESS PUBLIC.

OHANC SAYS PRESIDENT HAS ANTAGONIZED WORLD Sepator Cummins Attacks His Work in Paris Washington, Sept. 26.—When President Wilson ended his work at the [Paris peace conference “the United States had not a friend in Iurope, Asia or Afri and our brilliant service in the war was al- most forgotten in the storm of pro- tests which followed him as he sailed for home,” Senator Cummins, re- publican, lowa, declared today in an address in the senate attacking the league of nations covenant. Sees Possibility of Wa “The only thing the pre brought with him which was fully received in America by tudes of good people” Senator Cum- mins said, a covenant for a league of nations and this only be- cause the people believed many of them without inquiry that the league dent joy- multi- vwas would bring peace to a war-weary world and would maintain it in all the years to come. Gradually they are beginning to see the great bur- dens we are asked to assume, and gradually they are understanding that there are some provisions in the covenant which must inevitably pro- voke war, Senator Cummins tempt of some senators to charge other senators with opposing the treaty simply to discredit the presi- dent and to accomplish their politi- cal designs, as well as efforts of the latter group to make it appear that those supporting the president were indifferent, if not hostile, toward the vital ns of their own country. hould, Not Butt-In. Cumins contended war was ended “our been as speedy ble.” This did contended that conce S. that exit and not Senator when the should have complete as po: mean, however, he added that the country should have abandoned its allies or made a separate peace with Germany “but it does mean that it was not our duty to associate ‘our- selves with foreign powers in reform- ing the map of the world and in agreeing to maintain it as the victors had made it.” Condemning Shan- he disposition of tung, Senator Cummins said wanted to relieve the American re- public “from the eternal odium of the Shantung crime,” and from ‘“the disgrace of passing over Thrace to Bulgaria.” There will be many Shantungs, he said, and if the princi- pal associated powers worked in harmony it would mean nothing legs than complete and arbitrary power of the world.
