LONDON, Nov. 11.-Opinion is di-
vided concerning the British govern
ment's latest scheme for handling lab

council which is to inquire into dis
Dutes between labor and capital, and
make recommendations for their set
Element.
As the new body was sprung upon
them without previous consultation or
even warning, both labor and capital
naturally are somewhat suspicious 1t
is proposed that the council act as an
intermediary and concilitor between
the opposing forces of trade, but as
no compulsory powers are conferred
upon it, the general opinion seems to
be that it can not do what existing
boards have failed to do-prevent
strikes. Organized labor is firm in
denying to the new council the right
to forestall strikes, and employers are
equally insistent on exercising their
right to declare lockouts under any
circumstances.
The Industrial council, which is an
auxiliary of the Board of Trade of
Great Britain, has for its chairman Sir
George Askwith. comptroller-general
OF the labor department of the board
of trade. whose services as an indus
trial peacemaker have for many years
] been recognized and appreciated by
both labor and capital. The employ
ers have Is members on the council,
and employees the same number Six

j The board of trade, in launching the
new council, went to considerable
pains to explain that it was not in
tended to interfere with existing con-
Citation and arbitration boards, and
in view of this explanation, both la
borers and employers are inclined to
believe that it will simply supply a
piece of superfluoas machinery
When labor and capital come to
blows it is often the innocent by,
stander that gets the hardest knocks
In the case of Great Britain the limo
cent bystander is the middle-classel
who is neither a trade unionist nor 8
large employer. The United King

strikes this year, and the middle
classes, having no immediate interes
In the issues at stake, found them no
only ineonvenient but costly.
For the protection of the middle
classes a so-called volunteer police
force has been organized, with head
quarters in London. Its objects may
be epitomized as follows

THE PUBLIC SOUNDED
object Seriously to the Fact That
Too Little Publicity Has Been
Given the Affairs Of
Government.

Entering upon one OF the most I'M
portant epochs in the industrial and
commercial life of Keokuk, the city S
spring election in 1912 will place
heavy burden of responsibility upon
the voters and for this reason posi-
bly, more than any other, it will be
attended by the most widespread In
terest. Men eager for municipal
linielight and public service are cog
infant of this fact, for during the
past month there has been more or
less buzzing OF political nature.
At the present time few men de-
clare they are to be candidates either
for the Office of mayor G. commits
gioner in the coming primaries. They
assert it is too early to so on rec
ord before the voters of the commun-
ity. Few of those prominently men
tened however, deny they might run
under certain conditions.
Election talk naturally has brought
the present administration more or
less before the public eye. Its merits
and faults are being discussed quite
freely and upon them will be drawn
factions at the polls next spring.
A Gate City reporter Intercepted
a number of voters Saturday with a
view to determining in a general
way the attitude toward the present
administration, and ascertaining il

must be reckoned with in tie coming

Teamwork is not necessarily the re-
suit of prearranged plans, as many
baseball lovers seem to think Real
teamwork Is a combination OF quick
thinking and execution. In a limited
time such as a play on the diamond
occurs in, the men must think togeth'
er, each knowing what he must do
and what his fellow will do TO bring
about the desired result. When every
man knows his mates will think as
fast as he does and execute his work
exactly right, We have teamwork

II the outfielders have had experience

that a single could score only one

Should they play too close and at
tempt to catch q line drive there

The idea that a series OF signals

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March 81
Hughie Jennings, Bill Donovan, Joe
Sugden, Crawford, Jones and several
other Tigers were In on the big war

Hughie probably averaged about az

his envelope being $4,000 q year for
his work as captain and first baseman
for Philadelphia during 1901 and 1902,
this In addition to the cash which he
received as baseball coach at Cornell.
But all the veterans on the club
agree with Hughes theory that the
man who should have drawn the big.

Matty gave the old league q star OF
the first magnitude, just at the time
the American had succeeded In estab-
fishing itself and had made almost a
