NO CHANCE ID END
 ENGLISH STRIKE: Conference Today Seems Foredoomed to Failure.
 No Violence

London. May 30.-It Is evident that the
 joint conference tomorrow. whereby the
 government hoped 10 arrange a settle-
 ment of the dock strike, is foredoomed to
 failure. The master carmen. master
 lightermen, public wharhngers and barge
 owners have joined with the other asso-
 citations of the employers in declining the governments intervention to send representatives to take part in the coi,- ference, which will be held at the board of trade.
 In each case this action is concluded on the ground that the employers must retain their right to employ either union or
 lion-union labor, they choose, and as long as the men's leaders insist that no settlement can be accepted which does
 not restrict the employers to union labor the negotiations would be futile.
 That the government stlll is planning
 to bring about settlement Is shown by
 the fact that by invitation of tine govern-
 ment representatives of the port of Lon
 don employers attended private meeting
 this afternoon to discuss the situation. The chancellor of the exchequer David
 Lloyd-George, presided. and the other
 ministers present were Sydney Buxton,
 president of the board of trade: John
 Burns, president of the local government
 'pai"t hesildiu AtheHna secretary TOT
 home affairs, and Sir Rufus Isaacs, attor-
 ney genaal. Another meeting has been
 arranged for June 3.
 Meanwhile the wholesale markets con- tinue to obtain abundant supplies of meat transported from the ships under police protection. The strikers are refraining from violence. and the leaders are con- tenting themselves with threatening na- tional tie Up unless their demands are soon conceded.
 II is regarded as not unlikely, In spite of the deadlock which seems to exist at present that the strike may come to speedy end. In the first place fl Is reported volunteer labor is available and although the tie-up to shipping. especially the large number of grain ships, is a series factor, Lon | don is amply supplied with provisions and prices are becoming normal.

Paris, september II.
A MOST vital discovery concerning
~ cancer is announced by DR.. Gas
q = ton Odin. prominent French
physician. whose pathological laboratory is
famous in this country.
DR.. Odin announces that he has positive
proof that cancer is q germ disease; that
he has isolated the germ and made photo
graphs Of 1t.
with this article are forwarded the first
complete series of photographs showing
the cancer parasite in all the stages OF its
existence as observed by DR.. Odin.
In the first place it must be understood
that II cancer Is proved to be germ dis

ing it, value
The majority Of Investigators hitherto
have inclined to the view that cancer IL
not a germ disease. Nc one had been able
to offer proof that there was germ before
DR.. Odin. although many scientists believed
that they had found conditions indicating
the working Of germ.
Most scientists. however. inclined to the
theory that cancer was caused by a mis-
placed ordinary body cell, which away from
its natural environment grew and multi
plied abnormally. The body lost the power
Of controlling the growth of cell or cells
away from It's natural surroundings. This
in the main is the theory Of Cohnheim. q
very noted Investigator. 1t was only a
theory.
Following this theory other investigators
have argued that the misplaced cells ex.
listed in the body from birth and lay there
until some injury stirred them into activity
and growth.
Now DR.. Odin states positively that a
germ causes the disease. It is not bac
terium. such as causes typhoid fever and
the majority of germ diseases. but minute
form Of animal life called a protozoon. 1t
belongs to the same order as the parasite
which causes malaria.
