MAYOR TAKES A HAND IN THE
BRICKMAKERS' STRIKE

Mayor Harrison took a hand in the
brickmakers' strike yesterday and
ruled in favor of the men.
Harrison was drawn into it as
result of a new hitch in the peace
negotiations over disputed clause.
This clause, inserted by the union,
was to be a protection against indis-
criminate discharging of men by the
bosses, without first submitting their
kick against the men fired to the
union.
The representatives of the bosses
agreed to stand blythe mayors ruling
providing the wording Of the clause
was changed. The union consented
to the change. Peace agreements
will probably be signed Monday
morning and the men will return to
work.

An odd condition will be brought

today they will be working in a place

As stated in this paper yesterday
morning, We are starting into the
worlds greatest war. Whether it will
last three weeks or three years no
man can tell.
There are no precedents in history
for it. 1t is unique in its colossal
proportions. The end will surely
change the map of Europe
The European cloud is so eye-con-
suming that we of the United States
have not counted on an element Of
possible danger to ourselves. Japan
may feel that now is the psychological
time to strike for the supremacy of
the Pacific and have an accounting
with the United States. 1t is good
that our Panama canal is open and
almost ready for the passage of our
battleships.
Possibly the war will extend around
the world, and when the nations
have exhausted themselves then they
will come to see the folly OF what
has been done.
They may abolish kings and do
away with the pomp of courts and
the glitter of war After they have
done away with these men and things
they may see it possible to declare
that warfare has been a tremendous
absurdity since man began to dwell
under the rules of so-called civiliza-
