the treaty that shall constitute the
guide of nations in the new period the
following declarations, fundamental to
the best interests of all nations and of
vital importance to wage earners:
"First-No article or commodity

"Second-It shall be declared that

"Many of the problems of recon-

Growth of the Federation.
The report further shows that the
average paid-up membership for the
past year is 1871 ,434, an average in

are required to pay only the per capita
tax upon their full paid-up member

members involved in strikes or lock-

President Hornburg welded the
gavel at our semi-monthly meeting
Tuesday evening, which had more
business before it than for many
months past and adjournment was not
taken until IL o'clock.
Four of our prominent lady mem
bers were in attendance, viz: Mrs. AL
derdice, Mrs. Berkebile, Mrs. Grauer
and Miss Glenski.
The action of the union in making a
monthly donation to the Peoples
Council was reconsidered and the
union voted to Withdraw from that
organization.
A request from the A. +. of l.. to
furnish the amount of Liberty bonds
subscribed for by our members was
granted.
An amendment to our international
constitution by the Vancouver union
"That any member serving by draft in
the overseas service shall not be de-
prived of his death benefit" was en-
dorsed by us and will go to the ref
erendum vote if twenty other unions
do likewise.

our congressman to vote against the
proposed national Prohibition resolu-

quest was complied with.
The Sammy Committee communica-
ton was taken up and acted upon IA
vorably. President Hornburg has two
grandsons and son-in-law in the war
service, which in measure accounts
for the attitude for peace.
Lawrence Petrone, junior member
of our board of trustees and direct
descendant of the red shirt patriot,
Garibaldi, decided that this was the
right time for him to take unto him
self wife. Lawrence has the good
wishes of all who know him. "May he

Our members did not see fit to
change their vote on the two amend

Editor Literary Digest,
New York City:
President Wilson'S message to
labor will find echo in the heart of
every true trade uniOnist. He asked
for cooperation to win the war for
democracy. 1t will be given. His
wisdom has dispelled any friction
in the ranks of labor, and where
sacrifice is necessary, it will be
made by labor patriOtically and un-
grudgingly. The presidents advice
that employer and emplOye get to-
gether in adjusting any pending or
future difficulties must prove ef-
fective. Union labor men of the
Rocky Mountain region are with
the president to a man. We are
ready to go over the top with Will

Amsterdam, Oct. 4.-The German and
Austrian press is giving enthusiastic
approval today to the speech of Count
Czernin, Austro Hungarian foreign
minister, in which he outlined Austria s
peace terms. The Berlin Lokal Anzeig-
er says:
"The principal idea expressed by
Count Czernin undoubtedly is similar
to those Of the German"
The Vienna Neue Freie Presse says:
"Count Czernin g speech was in real
ity loose sketch of peace treaty
which requires practically nothing
more than ub-division into articles and
paragraphs to give it legal form. -
The main points insisted upon by
Count Czernin were no forcible CON
quests, disarmament and freedom of
the seas. He declared that Austro- Hun
gary, while ready to make peace on this
basis, now reserved the right to change
her attitude should the allies insist
upon war to the finish and the dis
memberment of the Austro- Hungary
empire.
He also declared that the central en-
pires are able to continue the war as
long as the allies and that Austria S
military and food situation would be
better year hence than it is now.

Doctor Of VOcatiOnS
Locates In This civ

The newest profession in the world
"a Doctor of Vocation, has attracted
no little attention in Salem.
James M. Heady, who is the author
of the term, has been engaged by a
number of business houses to create
perpetual inventory and other systems
to plan advertising campaigns and to
do various other things within the
scope of this profession.
A Doctor of Vocation, according to
Mr.. Heady, is an efficiency engineer
an advertising man, vocational coun-
selor and an employment supervisor
combined. This, in his opinion, enables
vocational doctor to analyze man s
business as a physician examines a pa
tient, to locate the trouble and pre-
scribe and apply the remedy.
In training for this work, in addi-
tion to the practical experience gained
bv several years in the advertising bus
mess, Mr.. Heady has studied the
courses along this line, at the Uniyer.
sity of California and elsewhere.
During the P. p l. E. in San Fran
cisco in 1915, Mr.. Heady was in charge
of the Vocational Education work
Last week at the state fair, Mr.
Heady gave two lectures on this sub
iect, one to the Boys and Girls club
and one to the general public.
In all probability Mr.. Heady's stay
in Salem will be short as he is plan
ming to reopen his office in San Fran
cisco or elsewhere. He will be located
during his stay here at Room 2, Salem
Commercial club building.
