THELABOR PROBLEM.
Labor Commissioner Wright Says It
win Never Be Solved.

The solution of the labor problem is
an impossibility- conclusion I have
reached after years of careful consid-
Grafton of the question; and I base this
assert ton uDon the fact that in order
to solve satisfactorily this difficult pro-
blem, the problem of life itself must at
the same time be solved
BY this do not mean to say that IN
fortunate industrial conditions may not
be ameliorated, for they can be to a
greater or less extent when treated in
diligently and fairly. The labor prob
lem is one that cannot be ignored or
lightly set aside. 1t IS vital, and must
be considered from a broad and phil
osophical standpoint rather than one
narrow and selfish.
The inborn restless hope of mankind
for advancement. the ceaseless struggle
of the human race for opportunities to
enjoy life on higher plane. the ire
mendous influence of belief on action
cannot be killed. and as they are the
very essence of the problem of labor.
the impossibility of its solution becomes
apparent
Capital and labor are mutually sus-
picious, and if a man firmly believes
himself to be wronged. it is practically
the same as being actually WrOnged,
and he acts accordingly. The wonder
full influence of apprehension in indus
trial matters is best illustrated by its
power to produce and sustain industrial
depression. Depression is as much the
result of a mental disease as it is of
financial eauses.-Carroll D. Wright.

NOT IN GREATER NEW YORK
American Ball League Territory Con-
fined to Manhattan Borough.

Cincinnati, Jan. 22.-After ratifying
unanimously the peace agreement at 2
o'clock this morning with a dramatic
scene at the Grand hotel the National
league today continued its adjourned
session. There was some unfinished
business from the meeting in New York
last month and much more since the
peace compact had been ratified.
The closing hours of the consideration
of the joint peace agreement viii never
be forgotten by those present. The rep
resentatives of the eight National clubs
had been in session all week and under
trying circumstances. After discussing
the terms of the peace agreement every
day for three successive days with the
minority, New York and Brooklyn, al
lowed to have its way in everything,
the majority gave notice last night that
it would rule and the ultimatum is said
to have been made Internationally by
August Hermann, who presented the
majority report of the committee of the
whole
The minority kept the majority wait
ing all day yesterday and when they
convened at 3 p m. it was stated by
several, This is now three nights and
out on these all night sessions"
When recess was taken from 9 TO 10
o'clock in the night it was accepted as
a declaration from the majority that
time had been called" on all obstruc-
tions, protests, etc, after the clock
struck II.
Soon after midnight the minority and
majority reports were disposed Of and
put on the files with the largest pile Of
papers ever accumulated by the Nation
al league and then a resolution was
unanimously adopted ratifying the
peace agreement as it came from the
conference and this was followed by
unanimously adopting resolutions of
thanks to Chairman Hermann and other
members of the national committee ON
the joint peace committee. These asso-
ciates were Hart, Robinson and Pull
liam.
While the peace agreement has been
ratified without changing a word, a
resolution was adopted to compensate
Brooklyn for the loss of Pitcher Dona-
van and other resolutions constituting
section five so that the New York in
the American circuit" means the
borough OF Manhattan and not Greater

NEW YEAR sUPERSTITIONS
These Are Harmless, but Reflect on
Our Exalted Civilization.

The superstitions connected with New
Year are many. and not only harmless
but interesting. For instance. no one
must put on anything that is soiled,
and, if possible, wear everything new.
You must not cut your hair or your
nails, and on no account wear a torn
garment. If you should he 80 unfOr-
or a garment on the wrong side, you
must undress. even to the taking down
of your hair and dress all over again.
It is very bad luck to be late to break
fast, and worse luck still to stumble OF
fail, unless it be upstairs, in which case
do not look behind you, whatever you
do. On retiring place something higher
than the bed beside it, on which you
can step when you arise in the MORN
ing. SO that you may take your first
step upward. Be the first to speak to
the cook if YOU can
To have 4 basket of eggs or a box
of oranges brought TO the house un-
expectedly during the day is great good
and full, the bread basket we'll suu-
piled, and money in your purse, and the
purse in your pocket Whatever you
start to do on New Years day you
must finish, or else you will do half all
the year. 1t is also q custom to light
candle at shutdown on December 81 and
keep it burning until the new year is
fairly started It is a very i'll omen
to have q fire 60 out with the old year.
The finding of money is good If the
money is spent for other than the per-
sign is propitious at this time If there
should chance to be a new or a full
moon on December 81 or January L.
