JUDGE KNAPP WOULD HAVE
STATE MEDIATE IN STRIKES

PHILADELPHIA, November IS
Government mediation in labor dis
putes offers more toward a satisfac-
tory solution of increasingly perpleX-
ing problems of industrial strife than
any other agency, according to Judge
Martin A, Knapp, presiding Justice of
the United States commerce court,
who yesterday addressed University
of Pennsylvania students in Houston
Hall upon the subject of regulation of
interstate carriers as applied TO their
relation to their employees, the second
of his series of talks on kindred top
les.
Judge Knapp for a number OF years
was chairman of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, and In that capac-
ity was called upon fifty or more times
to act as mediator in labor controver-
sizes under the clause OF the Erdman
act which provides that the chairman
Of the Interstate Commission and the
commissioner of labor may adopt the
role of a Cancellation board in such
emergencies. He said that in almost
every instance mediation brought
about an amicable adjustment of the
differences, and that the clause of the
Erdman act which made II possible
still holds more possibilities Of practi
cal value toward protecting society
against the illeffects of interrupted

Almost fifty years after the last
shot was fired in the frightful car

Gettysburg, the greatest battle ever
fought on American soil, the echoes
of the battle are rolling still. They
were heard loudly a few days ago
when the Loyal Legion rejected the
name of Major General Daniel r.

on the ground that the criticisms of
his conduct at Gettysburg were JUS
tilted by the facts.

an important subject of discussion and

FUR SEALS TO Be RAISED
IN THE UNITED STATES

structor The cost of raising the seal
would be almost negligible. Anyone
who has a good-szed pond or can
lease a lake for the purpose may go
into the fur business and let the little
animals do the rest. They would re-
.quire no food, as they can live on tho
fish and small aquatic animals, and
the death rate among them is very
low. There would be little loss Of
stock.
There is a time coming when the
seals in the north will be few, and
their meat is palatable, being a great
er delicacy in the north than bear
meat.
The Puget Sound country and the
Pacific Northwest in general would
make an admirable field for the in.

ECHO OF GETTYSBURG AFTER NEARLY HALF A CENTURY

On February p, 1859, occurred the
event which overshadowed the life Of
Sickles until the rapidly moving tr e
edy of the war effaced it from the
public mind. This was his shooting
in a Washington street Of Philip Bar
ton Key, United States attorney of
the District of Columbia, whom
Sickles accused of guilty conduct with
his wife. Sickles was a member of
the House of Representatives at the
time He was indicted on the charge
of murder, tri,d and acquitted, the
trial lasting twenty days. The affair

he held federal OFF, as secretary CT
legation in London. He spent several
years in the diplomatic service.
General Sickles entered the Union
service as colonel of the Seventeen
New York infantry in June, 1861, and
left the army in 1869 as major general
on the retired list In 1897 he re-
ceived the congressional medal Of
honor "for most distinguished gal

The future general forgave his wife
fully, and they were reconciled. Three
years after the shooting she died in

was married again to young Spanish
woman, but the marriage proved an
unhappy one and the couple did not
see each other for many years until
they met recently.
