done by the naval committee. instead
Of a special committee, as proposed by

NATIONAL DEFENSE COUNCIL
HOPES TO ABOLISH LABOR
STRIFE DURING CONFLICT.
NEED OF ALL
WoRkERsePRoMPJs PLAN
Council to Devise Arbitration Clause
For Insertion in All Contracts-la-
Dor Circles Realize Importance Of
Keeping All Men at Employment as
Measure Of Safety.

Washington, May 29.-Labor strife
the war if a plan under consideration
by the labor committee of the council
of national defense should be adopted.
Up to this time the committee, work.
ing in conjunction with Secretary OF
Labor Wilson, has arranged disputes
between employees and employers. The
machinery available is inadequate and
cumbersome, however and 1t is sure
to break down under the stress of the
conditions which the war is producing.
If the war is to be won, it is appar-
ent there must be industrial peace.
Secretary Wilson is understood to be
drafting a bill for consideration by
congress, under which compulsory IN
vestigation shall be required. A Dill
of this kind could not possibly get
through congress.
The matter. therefore, must be set
tied in another way. The plan under
consideration ,contemplates the lnser-
ton in every government contract for
supplies of provision under when
arbitration must be resorted to in case
of industrial differences.
Board of Seven Members.
The arbitration board would consist
Of seven members two representing
labor, two representing capital and
three representing the public.
1t would be the duty of this board
to receive and investigate all COM
plants regarding conditions of labor in
lin. plants having government con-
tracts The findings of the board would
be obligatory upon the employers. and
public opinion. it is believed, would
have the effect of forcing the men to
continue work
The far reaching effect OF policy
such as the labor committee has ander
consideration is apparent. The gov
eminent is engaged in a complete mo-
bilizati0n of industry for war. CON
tracts must be made, not only for our
own needs. but for the needs OF the
allies. These contracts will be for coal
and other raw materials, clothing and
other personal equipment, munitions.
etc There is not an industry in the
land which will not be turning out sup
plies for the government.
II the contracts contain the provision
proposed. there will be in effect with
out the enactment of a law complete
system Of compulsory settlement of in
dustrial disputes.
Slumbers in Files.
President Wilson recommended to
congress last summer and again in De-
cember that congress pass q bill pro.
vr; ;Ii.;;ng fc- the compulsory inyestiga-
ton of all disputes between railroads
and their employees. The recommends
ton has been allowed TO slumber in
the files of the committee on inter-
state commerce. l like fate unques-
tionably awaits the bill Secretary Will
son is preparing provided ii should go
to congress. 1t is assumed Mr. Wilson
would not draft the measure unless nc
has discussed it with the president,
and that the latter had given approval
to the proposition.
The situation of the country in time
Of war Is essentially different from that

of the engineers who proposed the

never was denied by the board be-
cause the board did not care to give
any comfort to the Germans.

SURVEY UNDER WAY
The BristOI-tO-M Memphis Highway
Grows In Prospect

The surveyors Of the Bristol-to-
Memphis highway are in Carroll
county and will likely reach Hunt
ingdon within a few days. They
came here few months ago to be-
gin work, but we're sent back to
the Tennessee river. They have
surveyed from the river into this
county, and will continue the work
on to Memphis.
The Bristol-to-M Memphis high
way is being done under specifica-
tions laid down by the federal de-
partment of public roads, and the
surveys will be used in obtaining
federal aid for the actual construc-
tion work.
This great highway should be
pushed to completion, and very
likely it will be constructed as
rapidly as conditions will permit.

COMMITTED SUICIDE
Joe Smotners Becoming Despond-

IS
Joe Smothers. a citizen of the
Twelfth district, took his own life
last Friday morning by plunging
a butcher knife just above his
heart, inficting a wound from
which he died a few hours later.
He inflicted the wound shortly
after midnight and died about s
O'Clock Friday morning.
We understand he was conscious
most of the time and expressed no
regrets of the rash act. He had
grown Respondent on account of
bad health. He had been suffer-
ing with palagra for several years
and had lost all hope of ever be-
ing restored to health.
Mr.. Smothers was 80 years old
and leaves a wife and several chill
dren. The burial occurred at

by the President

President Wilson has set apart
October "a as Liberty day. all
the people should make it the oc-
casion, for a great demonstration
of their purpose to carry the lib
erty they enjoy into every land
and bestow it's blessings upon ev-
cry people.
Let the results be so impress
sive and emphatic" the presi.
dent suggests, that it will reach
throughout the empire of our
enemy as an index of what Amer
lea intends to do to bring this war
to victorious conclusion. "
The people are advised to as
semble in their respective COM
munities and pledge to one another
and to the government that repre-.
sents them the fullest measure Of
financial support. He requests
that patriotic meetings be held in
every city, town and hamlet
throughout the land, under the
general direction of the secretary
of the treasury and the immediate
direction of the liberty loan COM
mittees which have been organized
by the federal reserve banks. The
people responded nobly to the call
of the first liberty lean with an
over-subscription of more than so
per cent. The president says,
Let the response to the second
loan be even greater and let the
a1lount be SO large that it will
serve as an assurance of unequal
led support to hearten the men
who are to face the fire of battle
for u.s."
