was decided that a forty seven hour
week without any reduction in exist
ing wages constituted reasonable at
tempt to readjust working conditions.

tween the employers and the men pro-
vlding that the unions should make all
effort to insure that in the unsettled
state through which the country has
to pass. the greatest possible output
should be maintained
1t was agreed also that economic
conditions and systems and bases of
pay should be the subject of early con-
sideratlon, and that the parties con-
cerned should deal with these condi-
tlons from a broad national standpoint.
1t was provided that agreements for
avoiding disputes ~hould be entered
into Immediately with all of the trade
unions.
The compromise of a forty-seven
hour week has been passed upon by the
Engineering and Shipbuildng Union.
and a count of the ballot shows it was
accepted by 286,545 to 1866.

Kautsky Opposed War.

Karl Kautsky is regarded as the
greatest living exponent of MARKHAM
Socialism. He is one of the foremost
thinkers and Socialist leaders of
Europe Throughout the war he oc
cupied position of uncompromising
opposition to the war policies of the
old German government and with the
formation of the Independent Socialist
party became one of its main spokes-
men. But, although he has maintained
strictly government and inter-
nationalist position on the war, he has
rejected the Zimmerwaldian theories of
Lenine and has remained stancb ad-
herent Of orthodox Socialism on mat
ters of internal policy He has written
and spoken much against the Bolsheviki
and has drawn most vigorous and
sharp distinction between Bolshevik
anarchism and MARKHAM Socialism.

Russian Situation
With the President

LONDON, Dec. 24.-The British gov

son all information it has gathered re-
specting the Russian situation, which
is the cause of considerable anxiety in

Dispatches from Archangel point out
that the Bolshevik forces there are

good fighting material. Any serious
reverse in Northern Russia to the AL

territory being overrun by the Bolshc-

Wilson to Attend
Church i'm England
Grandfather Built
Scenes of Mothers Early
Childhood i'm Carlisle Will
Be Visited by President;
Saturday His 62d Birthday

CARLISLE, England, Dec. 24.-The
visit of President Wilson to the home
of his maternal grandfather in Carlisle
on Sunday will be almost coincident
with his sixty-second birthday, which
occurs Saturday. His visit will have a
double object.
The President will attend worship in
the Lowther Street Congregational
Church, which his grandfather built
and Of which the Rev. Mr. Woodrow
was pastor for fifteen years, and will
visit the scenes of his mothers early
childhood. The pastor of the church
has invited him to make an address at
the morning service. Arrangements
are not yet completed to offer the Pres
ident the freedom of the city, and it is
doubtful if the presentation can be
made while he is here.
The Presidents grandfather left few
records of his ministry here. Doubt re-
garding the house where the Rev. Mr..
Woodrow lived was dispclled yesterday
by man ninety years old who was a
pupil at the Rev. Mr.. Woodrows acad-
cmy.
Document round
Documentary evidence also has been
found. The document says:
"The Rev. Mr.. Woodrow resided for
some time IN the chapel on Annetwell
Street, but his income from the church
was so small and his family was in
creasing so that he was obliged to open
school. lie removed to Cavendish
Place to a house that has pillars at
the door. His income from the church
at the time of his resignation was only
about $3.50 a year"
The house with the pillars is now
known as SO Warwick Road. The Rev.
Mr.. Woodrow leased it from the Duke
of Devonshire for 200 years. 1t ap-
pears to be settled aflirmatively that
the Rev. Mr. Woodrow himself lived
there When the Woodrow family went
to the United States they left no
branches in Carlisle.
Plain, Square House
The Warwick Road house, except for
a little portico, is a plain, square, flat
fronted building, with few scraggly
cvergreens in the narrow front yard.
An old woman who sold the house a
month ago, after her family had pos
sessed it for dfty-ive years, yesterday
showed the good points of its construc-
tion and said:
"Don't you think that the character
of man who laid such a foundation
and built so solidly and well is fifty
reproduced in his grandson ?"
1t has been reported incorrectly that
the Presidents grandmother was buried
in Carlisle She accompanied her hus-
band to America. They landed in New
York on their way to Canada and she
became i'll and died in New York.
The Mayor and Corporation Of Car
Isle will meet Friday to vote the free
dom of the city to the President. The
city authorities wish to entertain the
President at civic luncheon, but ar
ranCements have not yet been COM
pleted.
