those which tended TO initiate against

for universal peace, he mentioned. the
sympathy OF man for man. all forms OF
love and mans religious feeling. He
spoke OF the greed of man. the desire of
nations for territorial acquisition and sim
liar evils as some of the forces which
initiate against peace. lie finally arrived
at the conclusion that universal peace
may only be secured through the abso-
lutte self conquest OF the individual.

At LOCOMOTIVE
Works QUIT

The trouble which has been threatening
for some little time reached its climax
this morning. when three or four union
men were discharged from the employ OF
the American Locomotive Automobile
company on Kinsley avenue for the rea-
son that they were union men. During
the noon hour the men got together to
talk the situation over.
II was decided that n committee be ap-
pointed 10 wait upon the mana cement and
ask for the reinstatement OF these men
The management refused TO reinstate
the men and went further and said that
they intended 10 do away with the week
ly wage and put the men on piece work
only. When IL was discovered that the
rate for piece work would not allow the
men TO make over sl15 a day IL was the
last straw. and the men decided that n
piece work goes, demand was then
made for their time. this the management
refused under a weeks notice.
The men then formed in n body and
marched to Labor 1rinp,e. where they
went into session and an organization
was Immediately formed
The fourth vice president called the
meeting TO order and outlined the course
TO be pursued and stated that al the men
would be put on the pay roll as organiz-
ers. which would bring them in more
money that they would earn as workers
