BROWN WINS DEBRTE.
Judges Unanimous In Decision In Last
Nights Struggle.

The sixth annual Brown Dartmouth de-
bate held last night in Sayies hall, was
one OF the closest and best contested Of
any yet held by the two colleges.
The large crowd OF. college boys pre-
sent raised tho roof when the decision
was announced. Cheers and hats went
up together.
Soon they adjourned to the campus. the
freshmen brought wood, and I'm a trlce
roaring bonfire was under way,
Before the debate the Brown Symphony
orchestra rendered Prom Waltzes," and
The Rounders." Then DIR. Faunce. who
preshided, introduced the debate. He
said: mo form OF inter collegiate COM
petition interests me more than debate.
1t appeals TO the reason, and no matter
what our business may be we must per-
suade our fellows according to reason.
Tonights question Is Resolved that
Trades Unions should be compelled to
incorporate"
Albert BENJAMIN West OF Brown open
ed the debate. lie occupied his twelve
minutes In attempting TO establish that
the incorporation OF trades unions would
be a natural step In Their development.
He said, THE trades union has done
more for the laborer than any other body,
except perhaps the church.
THE unions have been trying TO assume
corporate functions. as Is shown by their
making OF contracts, and Their organized
arbitration, therefore is Is very nat
ural step 10 insure them Incorporation
George Edward Hoke the first speaker
for Dartmouth, said we must recog-
nlze the difference between eNpediency
and compulson. 1t Is a very different
thing whether we pass laws permitting
or compelling interpretations.
Peaceful settlement Is the recent ten
dency; we have fewer strikes, the con-
tracts are being Violated less: and the
employers object to the fact that labor
Is organized not that 10 Ia not incor-
poratCd therefore present conditions
do not demand Incorporation"
Eugene LaVerne Mcintyre. the second
speaker for Brown, argued: THAT pres
ent conditions demand Incorporation. for
Nebraska has already passed a law COM
pelling it. and many other states have
laws permitting Incorporation.
I'm the first place, the employers wish
TO deal with bodies who stand In a posi-
ton defined by law. They object TO deal
ing with irresponsible parts. who have
no status before uie law"
Herbert McKennis, the second speaker
for Dartmouth, said: Incorporation is
not remedy for present evils. You
cannot hold 100000 men responsible by
law The union has no capital except
insurance and benefit funds 40 damages
cannot be collected"
Percy Winchester Gardner OF akefeld
was Browns third speaker and said: III

more Justinablo condition before the pub
