their factories without recognizing the
shoe workers organization, an act, the
strikers claim which would eventually

here. while other factories, it is believed,

outlook can form a basis for judgment,
should say that no extra session VIII

new question should arise. In the first
place, we shall not know until the treaty
of peace has been ratified what new pos
sessions we are to have and what legis-
lation is necessary for them, and even

administration ought to be continued

ministration means the maintenance of
order, the establishment of sanitary
regulations, the giving of assistance to
those who may need 1t. 1t will bring
order out of chaos and afford US time to
determine the wisest legislation. Time
always enlightens, and certainly when
congress meets at its regular session in
December of next year we will be much
better equipped to consider the proper
method of dealing with our new posses
