xARp LABOR WOULD
MAR Ms Ant

/ An amusing incident which furnishes
rfood for thought recently took place in
a London courtroom. musician.
violinist. was hailed to court for some
slight offensive peculiar to the spirit
that goes with Bohanianism and red ink.
Yes those things happen oven in Eng
land. For tho purpose Of maintaining
law and order and preserving the Dig
nifty Of tho court. tho judge sentenced
tho prisoner to a short term OF hard la
Dor. That 10 where the humor OF the
situation arose. The fiddler appealed
from the decres on the grounds that tho
work would harden his hands and pre-
vent him from doing Justice TO his art.
The appeal was granted with the in1unc-
ton. however. that = similar offsnss
would in tho future, be punished by the
sentence first melted out.
It would appear that music must havs
blessed both the prisoner and the judge
for the plea would never have been
granted by ono lacking musical apprscia-
ton.

trial first.
The compromise which seems like
Iy to go through will be authorization
for the president to call for 100000
to 100000 volunteers Immediately,
to be raised within 80 days. At the
same time the machinery for con-
sCTiptiOn will be authorized and put
INTO motion so that if the volunteer
system doesn't work within 80 days
cOnscriptiOn could be put into effect
Immediately thereafter.
This is the situation in the house.
The senate on the other hand ap-
pears more favorably inclined to the
conscriptiOn plan. Senator Cham
berlain believes there is only one
vote in the senate military commit
tee which favOrs a compromise.
Chamberlain feels there is sufficient
volunteer provision in the bill as it
stands to give that system thorough
test while the actual work of prepar-
ing for CONSUMPTION, which admitted
Iy will take two or three months, is
being done.
It was indicated today that the
senate committee will not wait for
the house committees action on the
bill much longer. The situation is
better in hand, from the administra-
tons viewpoint, in the senate than
in the house, and it may be that the
upper branch will get the jump and
pass the whole buck up to the house.
