ADVANCES STRIKE REMEDY.
Industrial Relations Com mission
Drafts New Mediation Bill.

The Industrial Relations Commission
has drafted a bill creating national
board of mediation and conciliation to
deal with strikes that may involve the
Federal government. The draft will
be sent out to the public with a re-
quest for criticisms. and the public
hearings will be held by the commits
sion, beginning in New York Monday.
The bill Is modelled somewhat after
the plan of the Newlands act creating
the present board of conciliation and
mediation for dealing with disputes on
railways. One of the important fea-
lures of the bill is its plan for Cooper
alton with State boards of mediation
whenever such exist. and its plan for
joining with such boards in any sec
tion of the country for united action.
whenever a dispute extends beyond
the limits of a single State.

they were free to come and 90 as they
pleased. No occupation in military sense

This was the dispatch on which the
department relied when 1t gave out
statement asserting that the United
States was merely maintaining the light
after the keepers had deserted the island.
Apparently, though. the mediators re-
cefved information from Huerta that he
had in his possession q statement in
writing in support OF his contentious for
the United States government continued
its efforts to obtain further details from
Admiral Badger.
Late yesterday this second dispatch
reached the Navy Department:
Referring to departments midnight
Sunday, determined that the only thing
that could be construed as occupation
of Lobos Island was that lighthouse
keeper, when leaving light was prevented
from taking away with him certain es-
sential parts OF light machinery. and fo-
protection of lightkeeper he was
given by commanding officer of the Fan
ming a certificate that light was taken by
force. The operation of this light is
considered Of greatest importance to all
vessels on this coast"
No War Move.
The Navy Department made public
its views on these two dispatches. They
clearly reflected the arguments which
Bryan used when he called
upon the niediators last evening. soon
after the receipt of Admiral Badgers
second message. This is the official con-
struction Of the incident:
'.Frcm these two kilograms 1t Is evident
that there was no intention to seize the
island or to occupy 1t in any military
sense. The light on this island Is es-
sential to navigation. not only for the
ships of the navy but for the merchant
vessels of all nations frequenting the
coast. Apparently on his own respon-
sibility the lighthouse keeper, not only
abandoned the light, but desired to per-
disable it by taking away es-
sential portions Of the machinery. To
have permitted this would have exposed
not only our ships, but the merch1nt
ships Of all other nations to ereat peril

nIes of Austria's Latest Secret
Medical Process.

NEW YORK, Feb. The Austrian
Government, it has been learned, is
rutting out radium in an entirely
new form. It is called the 'radium
bag
This is a three by four inch bag,
containing radium, prepared with a
.bemical composition, a process at

University are seeking to fathom the
ingredients Of the secret process, so
that the same bags may be manu-
featured in this country.

physicians and specialists to use the

The bag containing the radium,
plus the secret chemicals, is placed
directly upon the local affliction, be-
ing applied in exactly the same man

is made and nothing is done hypo-
dermically. From the simplicity of
the treatment those of the Austrian
Government connected with the idea

EARLY VICTORY
SEEN BY FOES
Of BUDGET
Mayor and Otis in Clash Over
Whitehall Project-Sentiment
Turns Toward Compromise,

Confidence was expressed Saturday
that the Whitehall street improve
ment project and other proposed
amendments TO the city budget would
be adopted at the next meeting Of
Council, despite the passing of the
lie between Mayor Woodward and
Robert R. Otis, one of the leaders in
the movement
1t was evident that a number of
members of the Council who have
been supporting the defiant attitude
Of the Finance Committee are on the
point of yielding to the demands for
conference committee to effect a
compromise that would break the
deadlock of Council and the Alder
manic Board over the budget.
1t was equally apparent that the
militant attitude of the advocates of
the Whitehall street improvement
was having much to do with the
change Of sentiment in the, Council.
Not Enough Money, Mayor Says.
Mayor Woodward denied his posi-
ton in urging that the budget be
passed as recommended by the FL
nance Committe meant that he OPP
posed the Whitehall street improve

moment will realize that the city

| blackguard of that character. When
he desires to talk business in quiet
way as gentleman, then he's en-

The Council has not formally
changed its attitude on the budget
The special meeting called Friday to
