A Constructive Moove for Industrial Peace

William B. Wilson. secretary of the U. S. De- partment of Labor his fellow commissioners in Phoenix, bring to this state promise at least hope for the industrial peace much needed. This body of men, appointed by President Wilson to investigate labor troubles in the west should be welcomed by both the mining operators and the mine laborers in Arizona They evidently with the purpose of forgetting byegones and firm deavor to blaze a trail for justice and operation
 To scan the personnel of commission is understand that President Wilson, the selection of it's members had in mind the thought that it be representative of the factions involved in la mentable labor controversies Secretary Wilson, him. self is a man who holds the confidence of labor and a firm believer trades unionsm but with proven ability to the employers side well that of the laborer industrial controversies. A whose fine loyalty the nation is shown by the fact that he has three in the army navy. In granting the request the Council of Defense that Mexican labor be admitted to aid in cotton pick ing in this crisis of crop necessity he has shown especial friendness to this section.
 Colonel J. H. Spangler is a Pennsylvania coal operator, conducting a large business and for many has acted the representative of the Pennsyl vania operators in adjusting labor difficulties A accustomed large thipgs, tolerant and with the saving grace of humor.
 Werner c. Reed is Colorado and wyoming oil producer large scale. understanding western conditions, especially those in mining sections
 John H. Walker a former president Illinois Miners union, and president of the Illinois State Federation of Labor and a member of the Illinois Council of Defense, should understand the situation from the miners standpoint, from nearly lifetime of practical experience
 E. P Marsh, president of the Washington State Federation Labor and the Washington State Council of Defense, is another man thoroughly fla miliar with labor conditions.
 Thus we have a commission of employers and two recognized labor leaders with cabinet officer as chairman.
 Secretary Wilson, in yesterday mornings Republi- can stated that he into this state with absolutely open mind. He plans to go directly with his commission the affected districts and has with him secretary of the commission, Felix Frank fueter assistant to Secretary of War Baker during times, former professor of law at Harvard, writer of reputation and student of just such dtions as are to be investigated here
 This commission will devote from ten days weeks the Arizona situation and more time if needed. They plan to sft the situation thoroughly they may suggest constructive plan to bring
 4t industrial peace.
 The labor unrest in Arizona has been menace constantly lowering this state and we extend best wishes to these in the big task which they have undertaken Their final judgement should carry great weight because they trained and their findings should the basis for lasting industrial peace state which is just as essential to the welfare of people as lasting world peace based upon the triumph of democracy

DUN'S WEEkL YREVIEW

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Dun's Review tomorrow will say:
 Progress toward better business has 1een unmistakable in some important branches which recently experienced halting and more optimistic views of he general situation are possible With the gain in actual transactions, which in some places has been con- spicuous, there has come an increase >n the working force at plants which had been running less actively or not at all. and further price reeoveries are witnessed in certain quarters where there has been rather sharpA yielding. The change in conditions has ln some ,ases resulted from the growing ap-- preciation that for ordinary require- nents supplies of some materials and products are likely to become even scarcer, with the needs of the govern ment the dominating factor in many directions. and in other instances the improvement reflects the enlargement If consumptive demands with the ad- vancing season.

CORN MARKET FIRM

CHICAGO, Oct 5.-Prospects of light receipts for some time led today to a material upturn in the corn mar ket.

 Strength in corn values developed after the fact became apparent that bids from here to the interior had been accepted only to meager extent. The ;cantiness of the response was taken o indicate that the farm demand for he feeding of hogs would be increased so as to absorb much of the supply which would be otherwise forthcom- ing. Under these circumstances a moderate decline at the outset was soon much more than overcome.
 Oats hardened in sympathy with ,orn. December delivery of oats 'agged. however, owing to apparent complete stoppage of buying for ex- port.

was that he was past his fOrty-third

soaked in blood. The valleys have lost
their hint of other-worldliness, the
mountain hotels their fun and laugh
ter. Winter and summer sports both
languish; there are no merry dances,
the orchestras are dumb, and many a
resort that in peace time was unpleas-
antly overcrowded now experiences
difficulty in keeping open at all.
In every department of her normal
life Switzerland has suffered violent,
even a ruinous dislocation; and while
the flow of tourist money has practi-
cally ceased, the cost of mobilizing
several divisions and keeping them on
a war footing is grave item in the
national economy that must be met
out Of diminished revenues. Owing to
the irregular supply, if not sometimes
the actual lack, Of fuel-the country's
coal is derived from Germany-more
than one industry has been in peril
and more than one factory, deprived
of the necessary raw material, been

combined with heavily increased ex-

seems to stream from the summit Of
Mont Blanc itself, covering the entire
land with it's gracious and benefcent
meaning.
Food Scarce, Prices High.
Switzerland, indeed, today Is
changed beyond recognition. Prices
are high and food is scarce. Rationing
runs its difficult course, as elsewhere
in our dislocated world. Trains are
reduced, and railway, as also amuse-
ment, tickets heavily taxed.
1t is good to know that many of our
own men and officers have come home
now from Chateau dock, with it's at
tendant villages of Rougemont and
Rossinieres, from Murren in the Ober-
land and other places. The majority
of these have not seen England for
three years at least. Their evacuation
will make room for others to come in
from Germany, and no one can be
more grateful for this than those
whose places in Switzerland will thus
be filled.
There is another aspect of life in
Switzerland that is less accessible to
the public, as well as less free for the
journalist to write about. Though the
resorts are somewhat deserted, and
the villages handed over to interned
soldiers chiefly, the towns are crowd
ed, and some of them are booming.
Geneva, Berne, Zurich and Lausanne
are packed with strange humanity,
and rooms not easily to be had. Luz
cerne is thriving; Lugano- very busy.
Every nationality is represented, every
shade of color. Germans are ubiqui-
tous, of course, making themselves at
home even in French Switzerland.
