A committee of the board of trus tees of the University of Arkansas, consisting of Governor Hays and Trustees Pace, Head and Cook, to- gether with President Futrall of the university, met in Little Rock to dis cuss with Dean Carmichael the af. fairs of the law school Two years ago the trustees passed resolution disallowing the use of the name Uni versity of Arkansas by the law school after June, 1914 One year ago an other resolution was passed allowing the use of the name until June, 1915, in order that students already en- rolled might receive diplomas from the university.
 The committee submitted to Dean Carmichael a proposition to take over the law school as a part of the uni versity provided the trustees should have the same control over this de- partment as over other departments of the institution. The proposluon in- cluded the right of the trustees to elect the faculty. fix salaries, control the finances, establish requirements for entrance and graduation. etc.
 Dean Carmichael and members of the law school faculty, after consider ing the proposition, decided that un- der present conditions, and without state appropriation, they could not ac- cept the offer of the trustees. The connection of the law school with the university has therefore ceased. It is understood to be the intention of Dean Carmichael to continue the school as a private institution. The law school was established about 20 years ago by F. M. Goar, and has since that time been known as the University of Arkansas law depart ment, although the trustees have at no time had any control over it. The position taken by the present board Is that any department bearing the name University of Arkansas must be under the control of the trustees.

ers employed in munitions factories.
MIR. Lloyd George. the minister of
munitions. has recently circularized
letter to the effect that the best
possible use is not being made OF
either machinery or labor in govern
ment-controlled establishments. He
finds that there is too large pro-
portion OF skilled men employed in
proportion to the semi-skilled or I'M
skilled, while In some districts night
shifts are not properly organized.
Employers are requested to fur
nish detailed information MS to the
assignment of their skilled labor and
to take steps to replace skilled men
with unskilled men or women wher-
ever possible SO as to use the skill
ed workers as forcmen for increas-
ed work.
In subsequent letter, Lloyd
George says he intends to form new
set of rules governing the employ
ment and wages of women. The
question of pay of women and un-
skilled men has been difficult TO
solve on account of the jealous re-
gard of the labor union for their old
rights and privileges, so the govern
ment has to guard against the war
workers appearing in the light Of
strike breakers in unions eyes and
against jeopardizlng the future posi-
tons of union men after the war.
