NEW YORK, February 3.-Director
Robinson of the Metropolitan Museum
of Art has made official announcement
that the famous William Henry Riggs
collection of arms and armor the dona-
ton of which was reported last Novem-
Der, will be thrown open to the public in
the newly completed northeast wing of
the museum in October. Mr.. Robinson
said that Mr.. Riggs had turned the COL
lection over to the museum by formal
deed of gift. Mr.. Robinson said:
1T would be hard. indeed. to overesti-
mate the value and Importance OF this
collection. 1t is one of the greatest ever
made, In Importance to the museum it
ranks second only to the great Altman
collection. The museum never puts a
money value on a gift TO it. and Mr.
Riggs never put money value on the
collection. Even if 1t were a question of
money. the collection is one of the largest
and most important the museum has ever
received.

Mr.. Robinson emphasized, in making
his announcement, that the donation of
the collection to the Metropolitan Museum
in New York was due to the influence of
the late J. Pierpont Morgan. whose

BOARD Of Mediation
MAKES GOOD SHOWING
Report Just Issued Indicates That
Eighteen Cases Have Been Set
tied Amicably

The success of the recently established
federal board of mediation and concilia-
ton is shown by report just issued.
Since the board was formed under an act
of Congress eighteen cases of a serious
nature have been submitted to the board
In all these cases the questions in DIS
pute have been amicably settled, either
through mediation or arbitration, in many
instances after strikes had been ordered.
There have been only two cases in
which the men actually left the services.
In one of these cases train movements
were suspended before information of the
situation reached the board, and in the
other knowledge of the approaching strike
was not received until within twelve
hours of its occurrence. The prompt
services of the board in both instances
resulted in the resumption of complete
transportation during the next twenty
four hours,

In his letter Secretary Garrison says
that at the recent meeting of the ma
tional militia board in this city certain
proposed legislation providing for leave
of absence without loss of pay or time
for federal employees who are members
of the organized militia was submitted

follows: THAT there be no attempt made
at this time to secure such legislation,
but that the Secretary of War recommend
to the heads of all other federal depart
ments, and to the civil service commits

rules and regulations consistent with
existing law as will provide that absences
of federal employees who are members OF
the organized militia, upon duty or field
service with their organization for IN
struction, shall not adversely affect the
efficiency rating of such employees.
