thrown open at the suggestion of
one of the sides to the controversy,
and when you submit the whole ques-
tion of relation to board of arbitra-
ton, there is a possibility do not
say that it is a probability-bu there
is a possibility that the award may
be OF such a nature that II it is lived
up to, and the employer continues 20
operate-and if he is not compelled
to operate then it is not compulsory
arbitration-it would ultimately take
all of his capital. Upon the other
hand, an award might be offered un-
der which if the employees continued
to work they would be in little better
condition than that Of serfs.
There is one other very strong rea-
SON why compulsory arbitration
should not be entered into, and I am
free to state that that is purely from
the standpoint of the wageworker, in
that it would be unfair to the wage
worker to have compulsory arbitra-
ton. There is a clean-cut dividing
line between profit and loss which
the employer can show from his rec
ords to any board of arbitration that
sits upon any question in dispute.
He can demonstrate from his records.
through; that clean-cut dividing line
between profit and loss, the condi-
tlons, and circumstances, and the
terms under. which it would be a loss
to him to operate. That would act
as a protection against any unfair
decision being rendered as If a rn1iad
to the employer. But the standard
of living is not a clean-cut stationary
line. The line of living is flexible.
It may be either raised or lowered,
and the workman still live.
So the workman can have no clean
cut dividing Line to protect them
against any unfair decision on the
part of arbitrators, and the only way
in which either Of them can be pro-
tected in arbitration is by having the
terms Of the arbitration, the condi
tions Of the arbitration, laid down in
advance, and when trade dispute
has reached that stage where it is
impossible to get the employer and
the employe to come together and ad-
just their difficulties, then they ought
to be induced to submit the. dispute to
arbitration, laying down the basis in
advance which will protect both Of
them against any unfair or unjust
decision on the part Of the erbitrators.
That Is one OF the functions Of the
Department Of labor, and that is onc
OF the ways in which the Department
Of labor can be Of value to Industry
and commerce.. ,,55

Country Divided into Zones.
| Under this bill every postoffice
would become labor exchange. The
United States is divided into zones
of not greater than 10000 square
miles, with a central office as the
zone, center, with Jurisdictions over
all postoffices within the zone. Any
person desiring a position or help of
any kind should apply to the local
postoffiEe. filing an application in
duplicate On blanks furnished. The
| application would be posted UP in the
office in which it is filed, and If not
filed within "a hours would be sent
to the zone center, which, in turn
would be sent to the zone center,
which in turn would send it to every
postoffice within the jurisdiction of
the zone, to be posted; thus an ap-
plication, if not filled within "a hours,
| covers 10000 square miles.
The bill also provides for transpor-
tation for laborers from a conEested
district to places where labor is in
demand. There is nominal fee of
NAASo AoA 0Pp1ASoI1OIS Luz n0lp an q
the same fee for applications for posi-
tions except to persons who have not
an immediate income of 81 per day,
in which the service is free.
Should the work of running the
postoffice exchanges prove too much
| Tor the postmaster and assistants, the
Dill provides for, clerks to do the
work. but creates no positions until
the work of the exchange demands it.
| Thus $4,000 labor exchanges would
be opened without expense of rent or
! salaries until the business demands
+ these facilities, in which case it will
! be self-supporting. The estimated
income of the postoffice labor en-
ployment bureau from fees of SO
cents, based on statistics of state and

The future policy of the federation

The seceders have an active COM

known to be members Of the Indus

The Western Federation holds con-
tracts with the mine owners and be-
sides the miners have Jurisdiction
over the mine workers, including
'hoisting engineers, carpenters, timber
men, blacksmiths, rope men, electric

makers. All Of these are affiliated
with the American Federation of

The Western Federation has the

Meyers Opinion.
! Previous to the organization Of the
seceders into new. body, Charles
Meyer, president Of the Western Fed
Grafton Of Miners made the following
! statement:
I believe that the original purpose
; Of the miners in Butte. who have ta-
ken part in the deplorable demon
stration. was to protest against what
they believe to be mismanagement Of
the business of their local.
There has been a movement on foot
for a number of years to secure con-
troll of the federation by the I. w. w.
or failing in that, to destroy 1t.
' Men, representing that organiza-
ton, have taken advantage of this
protest and turned it into movement
to destroy unionism in Butte and to
weaken our federation.
No greater crime against the work.
ing class has ever been committed, as
Butte was the best organized and en-
joyed the best conditions Of labor of
any place on this continent.
The members of the Butte union
have no ground for complaint because
Of excessive assessm ents by the fed
Grafton. The assessment for the
Michigan strikers was only 50 a
! month and applied to all members
alike. The difference between this
50 and. the $3.50 which they have
paid was voluntary.
They have filed no grievance with
the officers of the federation.
The union has a contract with the
mining companies giving a preference
to federation men. We believe that
the companies will stand by the con-
tract, as the federation will adopt a
policy upon my arrival in Butte which
will insure correction of local griev-
ance, and I believe that the trouble
| will then be amicably adjusted.

NEW YORK. Nov. 16.-If you
would be a university student first
prove that your muscles are good,
your heart action right and your lungs

This is the new idea advanced by
Pres't Nicholas hurry Butler of Co
lumbia university in his annual report
made public Sunday.
Pres't Butler presents the physical
examination as an obligation in these
words:
The university is expending each
year out of its endowment income
immense sums to supplement the fees
paid for tuition, in order to provide
the best possible facilities for college
and university instruction.
THE university owes it to the pub
lie and TO itself to see to it that the
colossal expenditure is made only up
on those who are really tit physically,
as well as mentally to take advantage
of the opportunities the university
has TO offer and to make appropriate
returns TO the community in the form
of personal and social serviC g,

BY GRANVILLE FORTEsCUE.

PETROGRAD, Nov. 16. - When
Russia knocks at the door of Posen,
the blow will echo clear to Belgium
and POsen is hardly three full march
es distant So rapid has been the
Russian advance that the Germans
have not had time to demolish their
elaborate system OF telephone COM
municatiOn established behind their
former positions.
and KOnin on the Warthe river, for
merly used by the Germans, now car
ries the commands of the Russian
staff, but there is a longer line than
this and the message il carries is n
frantic call for assistance.
This call flies straight west through
POsen and Berlin to Brussels.
Today Germany and Russia have
come to grips in another titantic bat
tie. So swift has been the German
retirement that a trap was suspected
and while continuing the pursuit with
vigor the Russians are neglecting no
precautiOn TO prevent a sudden coun-
terattack.
The campaign in east Prussia which
continued under a cloud of mystery
for some time now reveals its OBJ
ject. The Insternberg. Allenstein and
Thorn railroad becomes the bone of
contention.
If the Germans can be driven off
this line within a reasonable time. the
task of Russia will be enormously
eimplified Obviously further advances
into German territory from this side
means fighting Of the most serious
character.
1t is hoped that the advance against
Thorn Will relieve the pressure on the
User German reserves destined for
Newport may now have TO be hurried
to the newly threatened area
Once more PrZenysl is holding the
center of the stage.
1t is now no secret that a waiting
game has been played in the attack
on that fortress.
The operations in the region OF the
river San make it necessary to raise
the siege for a time. Now the CITY Is
again completely surrounded. The
chorus Of cannons. which daily pour
death and destruction into the mar
row compass of PrZemysl's walls may
cease within a week

phere Here the bands plav. crowds

LONDON, Nov. 16.-Hamilton Fyfe,
correspondent of the London Daily
Mail, telegraphs from Petrograd:
There were extraordinary scenes
here Saturday as the result of the
order that no alcoholic drinks are to
be sold anywhere, not even in the
restaurants, after Monday. The order
was published some days ago, but it
was apparently not until Saturday
that the people realized what it would
mean Consequently there was
great rush to wine shops and to the
big, expensive grocery establishments
These were crowded with household
ers, all anxious to lay in a stock suf-
ficient to last until the end Of the
war.
Until late at night wine dealers
were packing baskets. filling cans and
cases with claret and sauterne and
booking orders for instant delivery
Most Of the restaurants intend to
close. The proprietors say that per-
sons will not dine out if they cannot
get wine"

dresses recalled the labOrs of many
Of the workers who have taken part

The Unseen" was the subject Of
Rev. Snively Sunday evening.
In part he said: The wide school
OF philosophy known as sensualism,
is so called as its members reject all
phenomena not under the five senses.
This philosophy rejects the idea Of
God that no man can live and see, or
have faith, love or hope of a Christ
beyond the five senses Yet men ac-
cept facts of other great powers be-
yound the senses.
AS an Illustration Rev. Snively
spoke of electricity which is beyond
all senses. Also he gave as illus
tration heridity, gravitation, and true
love all that are acknowledged to be
real by reason OF their effects seen
IN the world. Here he drew the con-
cluSion that just as these things are
acknowledged by reason of what they
do in the same way thoughtful men
should acknowledge God, heaven and
all conditions of men Of faith"
Rev. Snively will hold revival
