induatrial Courts.

Al long ago as 1906 France created
industrial courts, and the example mas
been followed by Germany, Switzer-
land, Italy and Belgium. a president
who represents the public, and an
equal number Of workers and employ
ers sit as a jury rather than as a
court. Lawyers are barred. The par
ties to the dispute take turns relating
grievance and defense, and In conse-
ouence Of this simplicity 80 per cent
Of the cases are adjusted without
formal hearings. In event OF threat
ened strikes or lockouts the courts
have the power to sit as boards OF ar
bitration, and it is only in rare cases
that satisfactory agreements are not
reached.
Compare the simplicity OF this pro.
cedure with the American method OF
frequent trials, frequent appeals. re-
yersed decisions, remanded cases
court costs, lawyers fees and months
Of delay, a gantlet that no poor man
dares to run. The dollar out OF which
an alien Is cheated may mean to him
the difference between a bed or a park
bench, and certainly his sense OF In
Justice will not inspire him with re
spect for democratic Institutions

JeHerson's Letter.

A few lines written by Jefferson to a
friend in foreign country ruined the
warm friendship which had existed be-
tween him and Washington. The let
ter is known historically as "Jefferson's
letter."
jefferson sent letter to Philip MAJ
zei, an Italian, in April. 1896 Mazzei
published an Italian translation Of il
in Florence the next year. 1t was re-
translated into French and published
in French newspapers, from which il
found its way into the British papers
and to America.
In this letter Jefferson opposed the
Jay treaty and commented freely
against Washington and his admins
tration as Anglican, monarchical and
aristocratic. This letter destroyed
Washington's faith in Jefferson.

London, Jan. 12-Amid scenes OF up
roarious enthusiasm the House OF Com
mons at II o'clock tonight defeated
motion to reject the military service bill
nv q vote of 49, to 49, Immediately aft
erward the House acceded to the pre-
miers request by passing the secoho
reading Of the bill without division.
The vote was chiefly interesting on ac-
count Of the changed attitude OF many
Of the 105 members who opposed 1t on
the first reading.
The debate was closed by Arthur Hen
derson, president Of the board OF educa-
ton, In a much applauded speech he
said 1t was a great satisfaction TO MIN
that because OF the definite assurances
given his friends and himself by the
premier, in the name of the whole cab
met, he was able to remain for the pres
ent in the coalition ministry This fact
would be regarded at home and abroad
as symbol Of the nations unity. He
closed with the statement:
81 have the authority Of Earl Kitchener
and the general staff that we require at
once not only the unmarried men en-
rolled uhder the Derby scHeme not Only
the married men who are waiting to be
called, but also the whole available part
OF the $4,000 men with whom this meas
ure deals"
The opposition in the House of Com
mons to the CONSUMPTION bill crumbled to-
night to a few conscientious DIRECTORS A
fortnight ago the anti-compulsionists
claimed 800 votes, but on the first reading
they were able to muster only 105, OF
whom more than one-half were Irish Ma
tionalists.

House Of Commons Passes
the CONSUMPTION Bill to Its
Second Reading After the
Defeat OF Adverse Motion

When il came to the second reading
of the bill tonight the Irish Nationalist
had withdrawn from the opposition, Pre-
mier Asquith had placated the majority
of the Labor members who had voted
mo" on the first reading, and only
comparative handful remained irresonsil-
able The result seems to have been due
partly to evidences that the country Ia
vors the measure and partly to Mr.. AS
ouith's often displayed facility at con-
Citation. The premier held a confer
ence with the executive committee OF the
Labor party and Labor members OF the
House of Commons this afternoon at
which he induced the three Labor men,
bers of the ministry to withdraw their
designations temporarily and apparently
made a. strong impression on the men,
bers of the executive committee. The
labor men asked for assurances that the
bill should not be used as a step to-
wards general CONSUMPTION or industrial
CONSUMPTION. Mr.. Asquith gave the prom
Use that the bill would be modified to
safeguard it from any suspicion that it
would be used for such purposes After
an appeal Of Labor's support he with
drew to permit the representatives to
discuss their policy.
The Nationalist members, after voting
against the bill on the first reading. now
take the attitude that it does not con-
Germ them. although they are opposed to
compulsion on principle since 1t applies
only to the large island. John Dillon
