These practices already are in eff

cifc labor problems as they arose
They have failed TO prevent many
walkouts. however, despite the gov
ernment's recognition in most cases of
the right of labor's demands for high
or pay TO meet the increased cost Of
living.
Continued evidence that employees
and employers were not working in
harmony led government officials and
their advisers of the council of ma

British Practices
While recognizing that British may no,
be adaptable entirely to American labor
conditions, officials here are giving spe-
eial attention to the folo@ing British
practices:
Capitalization of administra ton of all
labor matters affecting war production in
single government department.;
Entrustng OF mediation of troubles
reaching the strike stage to another
branch,
Government promotion of the organiza-
ton OF labor now unorganized and Of en-

agreements possible: and heavy tax lev
les on war profits, which some observers
consider prime cause of labor unrest.
j The defense councils labor committee,

With the most powerful battleship in

allies in its attack on the forts of the
Dardanelles. named for her. it is in
teresting to note that the term broad
nought." now generally used as
ciassname to designate the most pow
erful battleships, originated in a mo-
mentous crisis of English history ana
vas selected by no less illustrious a
person than Queen Elizabeth herself.
The massacre Of st. Bartholomew,
August a. 1872. stirred England TO her
depths and aroused both authorities
and people to immediate action.
Four men of war for the royal navy
we're ordered built forthwith at Dept
ford. Two of these were to be OF the
frst-class line of-battle ships, as they
later came to he called. The others
were smaller vessels, or friCates.
To expedite construction, the work
was divided between two foremost
shipwrigh.s Of the kingdom, Mathew
Baker and Peter Petit. Each built two
ships. one Of each class. Pett launched
his ships October II, 1873. and Baker
his on November 10 following. But
Bakers line-of- battle ship was some
what larger than Pett's, 400 tons TO
3e5.
Gave "TeIIing Names"
II was Queen Eliza beths way to
give her ships telling names Inc
choice of energetic names for the SHIPS
OF her royal navy, it has been SAID
was one of the means employed by the
heroic and polite Elizabeth to infuse
her own dauntless spirit into the
hearts Of her subjects and to show
Europe at large how little she dreaded
tho mightiest ornaments of her en-
emies. 1t was OF set purpose that
Queen Elizabeth, in the year of the
massacre Of ST. bartholomew. chose
the name Dreadnaughte las she spell
ed it, for ono of her ships.
So the larger vessel built by EakFr
was named DreadnauGhtc and her sis
ter ship. built bY Peu, was named
Swiftsuer. as her majesty spelled IT,
meaning swift pursuer.
Tho first dreadnouGht measured 81
feet from ridden post to forefoot. she
cost sS0OM. equivalent to sl'o."co in
the currency Of today: carried 200 men
and "A guns. sixteen e4-pounders and
eighteen breechloaders for fighting at
close quarters and rapid firing"
II will no doubt surprise many to
learn that therS were breech-loadinS
guns in those days.

Admiral Poseawen, about the middle
of the eighteenth century. Later the

Cooperation of the closest character

and the municipal governments of Ok

insurance rates on an equitable basis
may be the outcome Of the present

This charge was made yesterday by
X. /. Harvey, mayor Of Cordell. He
declared that in numerous instances
Oklahoma cities have complied with the
requests OF the Oklahoma inspection
bureau, or, rather, of its head, c. T.
ingalls,, regarding Improvement of
waterworks\ and fire equipment, and
that niman& instances the basic fire
rates OF the towns were raised instead
of lowered.
Mr. Samuels, speaking in his own
behalf, after he had been assured that
newspaper accounts OF yeserday's meet
ing were correct, declared that the state
insurance department is hampered in
that the last legislature refused to ap-
propriate sufficient money to pay in
spectors TO investigate fire conditions

The last legislature did, however, he
said, appropriate money to pay for al
