SEES BIG FUTURE IN
LABOR DEPARTMENT
Secretary Wilson Believes 1t
Will Make Labor Cooperate
With Capital.

CT look forward over the future OF
the Department of Labor as means OF
helping to bring nearer year by year
the goal of complete social justice.
This is the hope and the ideal OF Sec
retary of Labor Wilson, with respect
to the work OF this newest branch OF
the executive government. This" he
says, must surely be the ideal Of those
who regard humanity as something too
sacred for selfish exploitation"
EVERY man." said the Secretary. rs
entitled to the full social equivalent of
what he produces. The problem Is 10
arrive at that figure. Capital and labor
are partners. The Department of Labor
is to prove a promoter of industrial
peace Capital without labor is fnef-
fectiye. Labor without capital Is idle.
Capital is an animate thing.
TT represents the accumulation OF
the unconsumed product OF previous
labor. On the other hand capital is
til the products of its efforts can be
realized on. Capital. the fnanimate
thing, can produce nothing except by
providing opportunity for labor. There
fore capital and labor to be effective,
must serve each other. 1t is only when
IL comes to a division Of what has been
produced that their interests diverge.
Here Is where the opportunity exists
in this country for these two mutual
interests to sit down in the council
chamber of judgment and yo-K out a
division that has regard for the proper
rights OF each. Consequently, ] look
forward with great assurance to the
future of this department. 1t must tend
toward Industrial peace."

LEAGUE TO ACCEPT
HEADS RESIGNATION
Members of Women's Demo-
cratic Board Say Mrs. Ayres
Will Be Permitted to Quit.

The resignation of Mrs. Steven B.
Ayres as president of the Women's Ma
tional Democratic League will be ac-
cepted at a meeting of the board of
directors Saturday morning at the VIII
lard. Members of the board said today
there was no question whatever about
the acceptance. because Mrs. Ayres has
left Washington and because some dis
satisfaction exists with the way she
ran the league without consulting the
board"
The league is said to have small
debt on its hands, and Mrs. Ayres is
charged with the responsibility for hav-
ing incurred this.
Mrs. Ayres is the wife of the former
New York Congressman, and her daugh-
ter, Janetta Ayres, was prominent In
society last season. Mrs. Ayres' fight
to gain the presidency Of the league at
its national convention some months
ago became spectacular. and the friends
OF the organizer and first president OF
the league, Mrs. Crosby. were exceed
ingly bitter at the time
Mrs. Ayres organized the breakfast
given in honor of the women OF the
Cabinet soon after the new Administra-
ton came in. The breakfast was to
have, been given by the league as such,
but ut was intimated from the White
House. II is said. that attendance of the
leading women in official life would be
much more likely IL no organization g
name were attached to the breakfast.
This suggestion was adopted and the
breakfast was successfully held, al
though there was some heartburning.
The District Wilson and Marshall
League women became offended and de-
clined to attend. A misunderstanding
arose as to how many tables the Will
son and Marshall League members were
to have.
The women's National Democratic
League probably will have smoother
sailing now, for its management until
the end Of the year will be in the hands
OF the board, with the first vice presi-
dent. Mrs. W. A. Cullop, wife of the
Indiana Congressman. as the chief Of
hcer."
Mrs. cullop is the nrst vice president
OF the league.

dering II she would get a doll for her
present at her birthday party that
night.
L do not wish that bundle opened

not touch it."
Louise ran out of the room in anger.
She was dreadfuIly treated, she thought;
no other child in the world had as hard
a time as she. But the fact was that
Louise, who had always lived In
pretty home with a kind mother. did
not know how to appreciate what she
possessed. She did not know about the
hundreds of little girls who have no nice
houses and whose mothers have to be
away all day at work. So little Louise
was getting just bit spoiled and selfish
simply from having always all she
wanted.
Out into the yard she ran without
hat or coat "T want baby doll that
is bald and looks just like a real
baby" she cried to herself angriiy. Il

Poor. little girl-she did not knIw
that no one was unkind-that she was
only silly and spoiled So she walked
down the muddy pike till out of sight
of the pretty cottage in which she had
always lived.
How long she was walking she did
not know, but presently she noticed
that the sun was out cf sight, that
she was out in the country and clouds
were beginning to gather In the SKY.
The trees by the road threw shadows
across the path and the mud grew
deeper and deeper. Her eyes filled
with tears as the cold wind chilled her
TO the bone. A black calf sprang up
from a bush at her side and she
screamed with fright. Far Off she
could hear the barking of a dog COM
ing nearer and nearer-then she
turned back and ran. ran as fast as
her tired legs could carry her toward
home.
