O'HARA CONDEMNS EMPLOYERS
WHO REFUSE ARBITRATION
Declaring it the duty of every pub
lie official to bend every effort to
bring about arbitration in industrial
strike disputes, Lieut. Gov. Barratt
O'Hara addressed strikers in the
clothing workers strike at an over
flow meeting, where he was given an
ovation yesterday.
''The men for whom you toll have
denied you the right of arbitration,
O'Hara continued. 'They have told
you they will settle your differences
in their own way. Any class, wheth-
er they be the employing class or
laboring class, that refuses to arbi-
trate is violating, if not the law, then
the spirit of the law, the spirit of
the constitution under which our
government exists.
GIN Colorado, where employers
refused arbitration, there was a state
of civil war and the shame of that

Even German women who not owners OF
property in Russia and who do not for other reasons
have to change their nationality, might also with
advantage look for husbands in Sweden or in other

Horse Meat High in Denmark

A largely increased demand for horse

the Danish markets, and prices paid

This is surprise to the horse butch
ers, as it hal been supposed that the
demand for horse flesh would be more
than supplied by carcasses Of animals
killed in battle; but, according to the
Danish butchers, the meat of horses
killed in battle has been generally
found unfit for consumption, and the
carcasses are now burned or sold to
soap manufacturers.
