ENGLAND TO SETTLE

Legislation Necessary to Deal
With Such Disputes, Says
Lloyd George.

LONDON. July 23.--Thc Government
has decided to deal with the problem Of
labor disputes by legislation. Chan
cellor Lloyd George In the course Of the
debate in the House of Commons to-
night on the lockers strike said the
labor disputes were becoming more and
moro serious and were more and moro
challenging British commercial SUI
premacy. The time has come. said Mr..
Lloyd George, to reconsider the whole
problem and the Government proposed
to deal with It by some form Of legisla-
tion In the immediate future.
II would be a mistake. said the Chan
cellor. to try to deal with the dock
strike as an isolated affair. The In
dustrial Council. which takes all such
questions into considerat ton, was now
considering the best method Of tackling
the whole question. The Chancellor did
not indicate on what lines the council
would take II up. but intimated that
guarantees must bc exacted from both
sides In labor disputes for the enforce
ment of decisions by the council. His
hearers inferred that the Chancellor
meant that some form OF compulsory
arbitration was intended
This is likely to bring the Government
into conflict with the labor members of
Parliament who will wholly oppose any
such movement

WOMEN DESIRE
LEGISLATION
Frank ]. Allen Favors Act Provid-
ing Pensions for Desti-
tute Mothers

Following a philanthropic move
ment which had its beginning in
Missouri and was later adopted in
Illinois, Massachusetts, and Colora-
do, the Dorcas Guild of the ladies
of the Christian church of North
Yakima at a meeting held this week
decided to work for the enactment
of law patterned after that of
Missouri, which is entitled AN act
to provide for the partial support
of poor women whose husbands are
dead or convicts, when such women
are mothers and have children I'M
der the age of fourteen years."
The ladies point out that wher-
ever philanthropic societies have
attempted to relieve the condition
OF homes where the father has been
taken away, and the mother is bur-
dened with the necessity Of obtain
ing living for herself and a large
family, it has been found necessary
as a rule to remove the children to
public institutions, thereby disrupt
ing the home.
Referring to this situation, Judge
Porterfield of Kansas City, thinks
that pensioning mothers is less cost
ly than paying for children in in
stitutions. He says. THE only
means of support for the widowed
mother with two boys is the labor
of the mother. She from necessity
neglects them. They gradually but
almost surely grow into delinquent
children. They soon find the way
into the juvenile court. Sooner or
later the court must send them to
the eform school. Thereupon the
court pays the reform school the sum
of $40 per month per boy. Why
not, if that mother is good mother,
give her the 500 and the opportu-
nifty of raising her own children,
and in most cases we should have
two mother raised, self sustaining,
self-respecting citizens, instead of
two reform school graduates ofdoubt-
full value as citizens. Besides the
cost of keeping the boys in the re-
form school, the administration ex-
penses run the cost to $15. 13 per
boy, per month"
Feeling that the new reform
measure adopted in the eastern
states referred to, is grounded upon
true philanthropical principles, the
Dorcas Guild is arranging to secure
the introduction of similar meas
ure in the Washington state legisla-
ture at the coming session this win
ter. AS one member of the guild
points out, it is better that home
be kept intact and the influences
that a good mother throws around
it retained, than to break up the
family, permit the mother to earn
what pittance she may for her own
support, and separate her from her
children by placing them in state
institutions. A feeling prevails that
the present laws work a hardship
and an injury to society, rather than
safe guarding society from the evils
of poor citizenship.
At the suggestion of the ladies of
the Dorcas Guild, Senator Frank j.
Allen has obtained the acts passed
in other eastern states in behalf of
widowed motherhood, and will as
sist local philanthropic societies in
the framing of the measure to be
introduced at the coming session of
the legislature.

STEEL CARS ARE THE BEST
Superiority Of Metal Construction Over
Wood Is Shown In Recent
Train Accidents.

Recent train accidents have demon
strated conclusively the superiority Of
steel over wood in the construction OF
cars That the steel cars are fire
proof and are built so as to prevent
telescoping is the assertion OF railroad
men.
Alexander ]. Cassatt is credited
with foreseang the substitution OF
STEEL for wood in the construction OF
passenger cars. He directed about
nine years ago that the design OF
steel cars be undertaken. The first
steel car was turned out In June. 1906.
The steel cars have been frequently
called "dreadnoughts" on account OF
their construction. Each car weighs
1855 pounds, while the wooden cars
weigh only $4,000 pounds. This IN
crease tn weight reduces the vibENtion
OF the cars, adding thereby to the COM
fort OF the passengers. One feature OF
the steel car which has won constdera-
BILE commentator is long gtrder
which so far has prevented telescop-
ing in collisions.
