INDUSTRIAL PEACE WORKERS
10 GIVE PRIZE FOR ESSAYS
Board of Trustees Of Foundation for
Promotion Of Industrial Peace AS
sembles in Washington for Important
Meeting-Basis Of Fund is $4,000
Donated by Roosevelt.

Washington, oct. 2S.-The board OF
trustees OF the Foundation for the Pro-
motion of Industrial Peace. which in
cludes in its membership Chief Jus
tice Fuller, Secretary Nagel, John
Mitchell, Seth Low and other men of
national prominence, assembled here
today for the most important meeting
held since the inception of the move
ment. The principal topics scheduled
for discussion are the framing OF by
laws and the advisabilty of using a
portion OF the income Of the fund as a
prize for essays on the best method for
bringing about peace in Industrial pur-
suits.
The basis of the foundation is the
fund of $4,000 which President Roose-
welt received in 1906 from the Alfred
Nobel fund for his efforts in bringing
about peace between Russia and ia
pan. Mr.. Roosevelt promptly turned
over the $4,000 to be used as a found
alton for the promotion of Industrial
peace. The fundamental idea is TO
form permanent body composed Of
men representing all elements, i'm which
capital and labor and the general pub
lie will have absolute confidence. When
differences arise they will be presented
TO this body, whose judgment. il is be-
ileved, will be final and binding on
every interest Involved in the contro-
versy

Launches the New Battleship Mira
beau at Lorient Today.

London, oct. 2S.-The armored crui-
ser Indefatigable, which is officially
described as "the worlds largest crui-
SER" was successfully launched today
at Devonport. where her keel was laid
down only last February The launch
ing was attended by the customary
ceremonies and was witnessed by a
large crowd of spectators.
The interchangeable is the first of the
type of funnelless cruisers built for the
British navy In some respects she is
similar to the Invincible class in that
her armament and speed will be the
same, but there the similarity practic-
ally ends The Indefatigable is $40 feet
long, so feet beam and of $4,000 tons
displacement
She will possess two tripod masts,
but apart from her gun turrets and
bridges, her upper deck will be perfect
ly clear. The most remarkable inno-
walton in her construction. and the one
which will enable her to be built with
out tunnels, is the introduction Of in
ternal combustion engines as the pro-
peling power. There is some talk of
13.5-ineh guns but there is no official
confirmation of any departure from the
armament of the Invincible, which car
ries eight 12-inch guns.
Cruiser Plans Are Stolen.
London, oct 2S.--Discussing the re-
cent rumor i'm the house of commons
today. Reginald McKenna, the first
lord of the admiralty, admitted the
confidential drawings having to do with
the construction of the dreadnought
cruiser Indomitable, had disappeared.
He added. however, that as the British
cruiser has been i'm commission for
some time the missing plans had lost
much of their value. The loss of the
sketches has resulted in the usual sug-
gestion that they found their way into
the hands Of the German government,
but as far as known this is surmise
purely.
French B9ttleship Launched.
Paris. Oct. 2S.-The battieship Mira
beau which is designed to be a most
formidable addition to the new French
navy was launched today at Lorient.
She is a vessel of 1S,027 tons. and will
be armed with four 12-inch and twelve

weight of gunfire than the British bat
tleship Dreadnought The Mirabeau is
one of class of six, of which she is
the fifth to be launched. 1t is planned
