PREVAILING WAGE LAW VOID.

St. Louis-The law providing for the
prevailing wage rate on municipal work
has been declared invalid by City Coun-
selor Daues, and the claim of politicians
that the act SIS not worth the paper it
is written Oh" has been verified.
The ordinance was passed by the mu-
nicipal assembly (comomn counciD E.
Heads of departments were autorized
to confer from time to time with trades
union officials that the prevailing rates
would be constantly maintained. Now
it has been declared void by the city at
torney on the ground that before its pas
sage it was not submitted to the mu-
nicipal board of estimates.

Arbitration
Keeps 10000
From Strike

New York.-A strike of 10000 MEM
bers of the International Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union was averted
Wednesday by Mayor Mtchel's Concii-
alton Council. which finally adjusted all
differences after twenty-three sessions.
While the union already had voted al
most unanimous on a walliout and had
given the manufacturers until midnight
Wednesday night to accede to the find
ing of the council, further time was al
lowed for today's conference at which
the questions involved could be re-
viewed
The new scale of wages gave the en-
ployes in various departments an in
crease which was acceptable, although
the full demands were not granted The
settlement was a compromise, the split
scale being adopted in the fixed weekly
salary allowance. There also was an in
crease for piece workers.
Adler Issues Letter.
DR.. Felix Adler. Chairman of the Con-
ciliation Council, in letter to Charles
Heineman, Chairman of the Executive
COMMITTEE OF the CLOAK, Sult ana Sklrt
Manufacturers Association, said it was
only fair to state that the association
had announced its acceptance in prin-
ciple of the Councils recommendations
on July 20.
Points for which the union contended,
and which were granted, provided for a
review by an impartial tribunal of all
cases where union members were dis
charged; for the preservation of stand
ards by protocol provisions, and an equal
distribution of work during the dull sea-
son to IAN extent not conflicting with
the efficient operation of shops
Concerning the future possibility of
differences, DR.. Adler in his letter to
Chairman Heineman said
IF case of actual dispute due to diff
ferences of Interpretation arises between
the parties our recommendations specifi-
cally provide for method of adjust
ment.'
He added that the council would be
available to interpret and apply the prin-
ciples lid down in the agreement when
ever the parties appeal to it.

Japan, Which Assumed to Inherit the Trade Lost to

FIinsy to Meet Childhoods Requirements

In an absolutely open market the
American toy manufacturers have
beaten the Japanese in their own field.
The publication of the figures of Japan's
commerce during the year ending May

certed effort in Yokohama to try to re-
capture the lost ground.
With the outbreak of the European
war the manufacture of toys i'll Aus

Owing to her previous reign in the
manufacture of toys Japan immediately
sprang to the lead. Leading houses sent
representatives to the Philippines, the

regions the demand was particularly in

large sums in new machinery and build

led the lines already developed by the
Japanese that the manufacturers simply

ON THE REVERSE SIDE OF
DUTIES

On the reverse side of every duty
may be found corresponding gift of
grace. Every call of the Lord has its
complement in spiritual equipment.
Every commandment is an inverted
promise. All the demands of our
God may be interpreted - the terms
of His love. The measure of the one
is the revealer of the other. A great
calling means an equal bounty. If his
commandment is exceeding broad it is
because His love is exceeding deep.
LAS thy day so shall thy strength be-
Reckon the hardness OF the mission
as the index of the endowment. Turn
the duties round and think of them
as the invitations of grace. Is there
4 steep hill before me? Then what
a spring there must be! Is there hard
ship before me? Then what inti-
macies of divine friendship must be
calling me? Is it to be a long. long
road? Then what brooks I shall find
by the way!--J, II. Jowett, D. D., in
the Christian Herald.
