lustration, such an organization prop
erly represented at the seat of govern

ance in advising the executive branch
of government with respect to the
methods and rules to be adopted in
the administration of existing laws.
1t could be of like assistance in giving
advice in regard to new proposed leg

such an organization Would be in
the best possible position to suggest
fields fer new inquiry at home and
abroad, the methods by which such
inquiries should be pursued, and the
means by which the results can be
most advantageously brought to the
attention of our merchants and manu-
features, and it is safe to assume that
if such an organization is created, its
chief activities will be developed in
the light of our own experience.
1T may not be necessary that we
adopt a course in all respects pattern

is obvious that by some means i'm

must be established il we propose to
enjoy the full advantage of our oppor

Il have, accordingly, instructed the

take the necessary steps to initiate as
soon as practicable. at Washington,
a conference of delegates from organ

motion and development of commerce
and industry in their respective dis

establishment of representative ma

by which it should be governed.
1.-THE development of the plan Will
be left entirely with the accredited
representatives of such commercial or

being that the national association
shall be broadly representative of the
commercial interests of the whole
country and that its organization shall
be such that those in control of tho
association shall be readily responsive

London, March 3.-The coal strike
the greatest in the history of the Brit
ish Isle, IS marking time over the
Weekend. one satisfactory feature is
the entire absence of any disorder in
the districts affected. All negotiations
looking to a settlement have ceased,
for the leaders, who We're recently
gathered in London, have dispersed
il various parts of the country to at
tend to local matters connected with
the strike.
In speeches in the last day or two,
Labor leaders have insisted upon the
far-reaching importance of support
ing the minors, because now that the
government has decided to institute a
minimum wage in the mines, it will be
impossible much longer to withhold
the establishment of 81 minimum wage
in all industries. Thus the strike will
become triumph for the cause of la
Dor all around.
The next word is With the govern
ment, in Premier Asquith's promised
statement. tomorrow, is awaited with

ary whips have not Vet made any ar
rangements, however, for the introduce
ton of a minimum wage bill.

When he arose he found that he could
