\ London. 0By Mail. 1.-The father OF
a member of the British expedition
AIRY force has lodged protest with
the government against having to
pay a duty of six pence on one Of
Princess Mary's Christmas gifts to
the soldiers, which was sent home
iby the son.
! Princess Mary sent a little box of
comforts and delicacies to every man
in uniform on foreign soil Many OF
the recipients sent their boxes home
as souveniors to be treasured In af-
ter years. Although the boxes went
out with the army supplies. those
sent hack were considered by tde
post office as exports from foreign
lands, and consequently the tpbacco
contained in them was subjected to
a heavy customs tax. According to
the officials, the six pence must be
paid inasmuch as the Princess failed
to export her gifts in bond.
(, One of the Christmas Boxes sent
to the front was packed by Princess
Mary herself, who put in a slip OF
paper asking the recipient to send
an Acknowledgement to Buckingham
Palace The finder did so in these
words:

A new bill which opened at the or
pheum Thursday is as strong
a collection of popular vaudeville acts
as has ever been seen on the stage of
hat theater. There is plenty of va
riety and in five numbers almost the
entire range of vaudeville is covered.
George Damerel and his company
in "A fantastic comedy by Will NJ.
Hough entitled, Temptation" heads
the bill. The act is of strictly metro
politan type and will appeal more to
the regular p~laygOer than to the fam
lily audiences. Three spectacular set
tings with the atmosphere of Hades.
Broadway at midnight and the beach
at Bar Harbor are shown. The dia-
logue concerns a satiated rounder and
his Irritation with a typical temptress.
Myrtle Vail (Mrs. George Damerel)
has the latter role and her work is
somewhat reminiscent of the charac-
ter she played in Mr.. Damerels last
sketch concerning an army officer in
the Philippine islands. Miss Vail

WORK DONE
BY LABOR BUREAU
Has Succeeded in Settling Many
StrikeS-WiISon Will
Not Butt in.
by Victor Elliott.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Tucked
away in a suite Of two small rooms
in the office building occupied by the
department of abor is the division Of
mediation and Cancellation in labor
disputes-the agency through which
the federal government ~endeavOrs 10
settle serious industrial troubles.
A recent statement OF the work Of
this agency for the year ending June
30. 1915, show that il took a hand in
almost every variety of labor trouble,
and that settlements were secured or
attempted in wage differences which
affected about 10000 men. Half of
these were directly concerned in the
strikes or disputes, while the other
half were indirectly involved.
In the dispute Of the Southern rail-
way with 675 Of its clerks. for exam
pies, an amiCable adjustment was Sc
cured, affecting 1900 employees be-
sides clerks. In the Eastern Ohio coal
strike, where the adjustment was like
wise cuade On a friendly basis as the
outcome of federal mediation, there
were IS. 600 men concerned. A threat
ened strike of 5000 employees of the
international Paper Co. at various
points in New York and New England
was adjusted, but the strike of TO-
900 IOngshoremen or the Pacific coast,
luNtlNAI6 ANtuVO UALtl WOl hlllCn lIul-
rectly still in pending.
The legal authority for the appoint
ment of commissioners Of cOncilia-
ton" who visit the scene Of labor
troubles on behalf Of the government,
is found in the act OF creating the de-
partment Of labor. 1t reads:
That the secretary Of labor shall
have power to act as a mediator and
10 appoint commissioners of cOncilia-
ton in labor disputes whenever in his
judgment the interests of industrial
peace may require it to be done"
Sec'y Wilson laid down the rule,
early in his administration of the de-
partment, that ne. would not butt
in" He appointed commissioners of
conc hiatiOn only when asked TO do so
by one OF the parties to the quarrel
or by representatives of important in
teTests that would be injured by a
strike. Thus he viii attempt to medi-
ate a street railway strike when in
Vited in by the city authorities. But
thus far the invitation to send com
missioner has come generally from
one or the other d%isputant.
In this division Sec'y Wilson en-
plOys a stan of from half a dozen 10 a
score OF men experienced in handling
labor problems. They are sent to the
most distant parts of h country i'm
mediately upon invitation. Their sue
cess has averaged 80 percent of the
cases submitted to them.
Disputes between the railroads and
their train crews, switChmen and tele-
graphers are handled by a
agency, responsible only TO congress.
This agency is knOWn as the United
States board of mediation and concil-
iation IT deals by legal right with
the n en- who operate the train Of in
terstate carriers, and it considers in
tra-stdte railway labor matters when
its services are asked. All railway
employees except those operating the
trains must look to the department of
labor % mediate their wage auarrels.
