IE OREGON DAILY joUKNAL, PORTLAND. TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 20, 1310. iSEIISIl Criand Persists, in Abolishing Right to Strike; Opponents Declare - However That to Strike Is a Fact Not a Right. Paris. Pec J0. The' biggest question bi France today is; Shall French labor! be permitted the privilege to strike?, The 1911 budget, to, which an addU! tlonal 11,42S,397 francs will have to be tacked onto this year's figures, in order to reach the required total of $4,304, 810,829 francs, Important aa It la, takes second place to the labor Question. The governmental majority even, depends upon It, and it alone. :, For Prime Minis-, tcr Briand has said; .Unless the government will vote me the means adequately to cope with such movements as the recent railway strike, 1 shall resign my office." ." ' - The situation in the chamber of depu ties, because of this labor agitation, is tremendously strange. Parties are split In the days of Combes, Clemenceau and other prime ministers, the government ruled by "bloc" vote. The government, at any critical moment, could be sure of the "bloc" voting Its way. Not so now. , Far from it " -v. ; Deputies Divided. After the resignation of the first Bri and ministry and the vote was taken on the platform of the second Briand cabinet, not one party voted Its entire strength for the government Two vot ed against It the Unified Socialists, headed by the famous "tbunderer," Jean Juares, and the "right" composed of Catholics and Royalists. The most nu . merous party, the- Radical Socialists, went 72 for the government and 66 against it The total vote, 290 for the government and 209 against It shows little and gives no idea of what is to be expected later on. The legislators still remembered the railway strike and Its consequences, and the majority was built up out of that memory. Wlllerand. former minister of public works in the first cabinet of Briand, for example, abstained from voting, though he was present in the chamber. It Is plain that the reason he cast no vote was that he could not support the gov ernraent because of the anti-strike legis lation it Is to inaugurate, and being so fresh out of the cabinet he did not wish to vote against it' He abstained merely as a matter of delicacy. V There are those who say that a breach r.as occurred between Mlllerand and Bri and and that Mlllerand. who Is an ex trcrucly strong man, is merely awaiting the psychological second te tiimble Bri and In the dust .';: : -etv The political, if not personal spilt, be tween Millerand and Briand, came about Ixx-ause of Briand a determination to squash the privilege of striking from railway employes and other, public ser- " vice labor. Briand claims that It is a case of voting for such measures as will prevent the recurrence of such etrikes as that recently undergone by France, or voting against the nation itself,, whose very existence, he says, is at stake, Mlllerand says to take away the "right to strike" from public ser vice employes, is absurd, because a strike is not a right but a fact There can be no idea, 'therefore, of depriving any Individual of the "right ; What Is the use of telling a set of men that they 'have no right to do a thing, when there is no way of punish ing them in case they do it? , A mil lion men could not be put In Jail, yet a million men could strike. Illegal thought it should be, If they wanted to. -Arbitration courts and conciliation committees are what Mlllerand stood for and still stands for.., What he wished to do was to prevent strikes, more than to provide-measures for the punishment of men who actually were on strike. Brland's rollcy is to allow - trade unionism In a general way, though he Is said to be opposed , to the National Vederatlon of .Labor and determined, possibly, to dissolve it entirely He is In favor of plumbers, tinners, carpent ers, printers and so on, unionizing themselves, If they care to, but opposes strike organizations among rallwaymen, shipyard laborers. : telegraph and tele phone operators, postmen, mail-carriers; etc.. and the "right" to strike among them. . ." . Legislation to this effect will prob ably pass Into law during this session of the chamber of deputies, if the Briand ministry remains in power. - It will probably provide for arbitration In case of trouble between men and em ployers, but as" was actually the case recently to "call to colors" public serv ice employes who declare a strike, forc ing' them as soldiers, to resume their duties, without this call being "gen eral,", such as is now the ease. There is much personal bitterness In - I i -r-JS8 "WHY BE SO THIN?" .

Express companies twill be investi gated by the Interstate Commerce com mission for the purpose of ascertaining the reasonableness of rates v and tne tariffs. The date when the matter will be taken un will fee, formally announced soon, according to a letter received last night by the transportation committee of the Tortland Chamber .of Commerce from Secretary E." A. Moseley pf the commission. V'.- ? '' ' The proposed Investigation comes as a result of a petition presented to the commission by the Merchants associa tion of New York after having enlisted the support of a large number of other commercial organizations in the United States, among them the Portland Cham ber of Commerce. All are equally in terested, the Investigation to cover the entire United Stales. It i sheld that express company tariffs ' are very little understood by the - average : patron , and that in many instances rates are very Inconsistent. It is held that while the large bulk of express business consists in trans porting goods of certain classes for In dustrial and commercial concerns, it comes almost as close to the dally ln- terests of the . people in ' its minor as pects as the mall service of the gov ernment and it Is there that the lack of consideration is most felt . It is further pointed out that busi ness concerns that .have large dealings with express companies may get some relief from exaclon and some redress from complaints of bad service or in Jury or loss to the property, but that the. casual customer is helpless. He has to pay the charges, and have his goods delivered or collected at the con venience of the company, ui-, "The express companies have a pe culiar way of fixing their tariffs," said W. S. Bmallwood, .secretary of the Chamber's transportation ; committee. "in that) they have not tariffs like the railroads to given points, but to entire districts, the boundaries of which are very strangely defined.'', im precisely how far the powers of the Interstate Commerce ; commission are adequate to the occasion Is not known. It is said that so. far as the railroads are concerned, It matters not what tar iffs are charged by the express com panies since they do not enter Into com petition with them. ' That the express companies are mak ing enormous profits- is also the conten tion, Instances being cited where an annual dividend of 800 per cent has been declared. . , -. . ,'. x the chamber. Briand Is ' himself fre quently the object of rabid attacks -of this sort It Is wellfknown that he carries a rather heavy load In the per son of M. Lafferre, minister of labor, whom almost all the political divisions resent. He is said to have been re sponsible for the "armv lists" which followed the Dreyfus affair, when, it is charged, . every officer , Of importance had recorded for or against' him:" "He is a good Catholic; he goes often to church; he la a Jew; he seldom attends church; he is this, or that; he Is a Freemason, etc." according as the case might be. Those who "stood In" and had "good reports" rose; others were driven from the army; some stood 'still and were never advanced. Anyway La- ferre is resented by the Royalists, Catb ollcs, army people and many others, and Briand is censured in many quarters for naming him. .- v "Why this open slap at the, army," a deputy shouted to Briand, "the army which you rely upon and call upon so readily when the nation is menaced?" As an anti-labor administration, .the excitement Is . bound to be intense throughout the cpuntry for some time, Stormy times are ahead In the legis lature, as I have predicted before, now that the church, labor, socialists, and parts of most of the other parties have Joined hands, so to speak, toward what they term their foe.

Bowell, controller of customs, former controller of Chinese immigra tion, the inquiry Into the alleged frauds In": connection with 'Chinese immigra tion took a turn bordering on the sen sational. Besides deallg with the ques tion 01 the passports and the exemp tions from head tax, the inquiry -was applied to the watch system of the customs service so far as it related to the smuggling In of Chinese and H re vealed a service which apparently had totally failed to do its duty and which had f probably permitted the admission into Canada of avery considerable num- oer 01 uninese stowaways. -r; , .. Crown counsel suggested that as many as 23 stowaways got away from the Kumerlc when she was In port here, being part of a contingent of anywhere from60 to 100 who were concealed In the hold, and who were afterwards dis covered at Port Townsend. i- THE MONOpiET about which we hear so much, does not - mean living on one food excln-! slvely, but on foods that harmonize. , Certain elements of nutrition are es sential to health, but all'tbese elements Cannot be obtained from any one food hence the necessity of a variety.
