TO MEET EUROPEAN cOMPETI
TON AFTER THE WAR.

Samuel HILL, of Seattle famous as
an authoritative writer on trade. in
an article written for the new Cali
fornia monthly Pan Pacific" quotes
King Albert of Belgium as saying 10
him on the battle front;
May it not be that the United
States will have grave questions
to be settled at the close of tho
war? All the stocks of goods of
the warning nations will have
become exhausted. The United
States will have the money and
the credit. To get that money
we must work 10, IL and IA hours
day, and your people, not sat
isfled with 10 hours, now de-
mand 8, and how can the United
States hope to compete in the
+" markets of the world?"
Sam Hill was very close in the
condolences of King Albert which,
perhaps, accounts for the kings kind
ness in giving him that tip. Belgium
for instance has always been our
chief competitor in window glass The
democrats slashed the tariff, rates on
that product in the present tariff law
which took effect October 4, 1913. In
1914 the effect of the cut in duties be-
gan to make it's appearance, and con-
tinued through August of that year
with the result that during that eight
months period our imports of window
glass increased 100 per cent over the
similar period Of 1913. under protec-
tive rates. Imports for July, 1914, the
month just before the war, increased
2S3 per cent over July, 1913, and then
the war put the brake on, For the
past year or so the war has reduced
these imports to negligibiity.
Prior to the war common labor in
the Belgian window glass factories
received 60 cents per day, compared
with 50 here AS the president of the
Johnston Glass company, Hartford,
Ind. showed for every $s5 paid by
the foreign manufacturers as window
glass labor we manufacturers in this
country pay 500 for the same SER
vice" We were then manufacturing
under $15.000,000 worth of this glass
and the high wages current
In this country had attracted large
from Belgium, a welcome
addition to our population because
Belgian stock is good stock But to
develop our home industries with
Belgian operatives is a far different
matter from knocking the home mar
ket from under them with the pro-
duct of Belgian labor. If we sympa-
thize with Belgium, but feel the ne
,essity of continuing operations here,
then we have got to return to the pro-
tective policy And what applies to
Belgium and the glass trade applies
70 nearly every other manufactured
commodity. in considering European
md oriental competition.

ISL STRIKES, 283, 4O2 idle,
6,2S5,5l9 DAYS LOST IN 6 MOS.

BOSTON, March 16.-Increased cost
of living, and failure of employers in
many cases to anticipate this influ-
ence, has been one of the important
contributory causes of recent strikes,
according to the reoprt today by the
National Industrial Conference Board
on strikes in American industries in
war time.
From April to October 6, 1917,
there were strikes at 1881 establish
ments the existence of which was def
nitely verified by the goard. Each
establishment was asked to report on
causes, but complete information was
received from only 1,156.
These plants showed 283, 402 men
IDLE and 6,285,519 days of production
lost. Opinions were asked also of La
Dor Commissioners and mediators.

Direct conferences ar cared to have
been the mo-t satisfactory method of
settling these dispr ties.
The conclusions OF the board as to
the causes of the unsettled condition
of labor are that the following influ-
ences were of primary Importance:
Increased cost of living and fail
ure of employees in many cases to
anticipate this influence.
Widespread discomfort, due to a
belief that undue profits had been
made by employers out of the war
business.
Increased independence of the
workers, due in part to a feeling that
the situation constituted labor's OPP
portunity for forcing union recogni-
ton or closed shop conditions.

BULGARIA ASKS HELP
OF AMERICA TO BRING
PEACE NEGOTIATIONS

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE
Bulgarian government, through con-
fjdential agent in Switzerland, has
sought to approach the United States
On the subject of peace, according to
the Drapeau, French newspaper
published in Athens, which prints
from it's Swiss correspondent an ar
ticle translated as follows in an En-
tente diplomatic quarter:
"A Bulgarian merchant of good
standing, Shipkoff, who is a confiden-
tial agent of the Bulgarian King, is
in Berne, where he has been trying
to get in touch with the American
Charge d'Affairs and through him to
sound the American government on
Bulgaria's aims and the final settle
ments at the peace conference He
was introduced by the Bulgarian min
ieter. He told American residents
that the United States should not de-
clare war on Bulgaria for such a rea-
son as these:
America founded Roberts College
at Constantinople where many Bull
garians have been educated. therefore
il is to the United States that Bull
garia owes her culture and independ>
ence Bulgaria entered the war at
Germany's invitation to take Mace
dona, Dubrudja and the part of Ser
bia, to which she lays claim. How
ingoccupied these territories she wish
eb to retain them, but is in Germany's
power and has appealed to France
and England in vain She now ap-
peals to America to save her from
German domination"
The article gives other reasons,
among them that the Allies must use
Bulgaria as barrier against German
expansion in Asia. The Bulgarian is
said to have used also the German
argument of rivalry between the
United States and England" After
exposing the intrigue of Shipkoff, the
Drapeau's correspondent comments:
"The Bulgarian's conversation were
devoid of morality and neighborly re-
gard toward a free and brotherly peo-
pie and lacked even the sentiment of
honor of the most primitive tribes.
IN we'll informed circles here the
opinion is that Bulgaria wishes bene-
fits from both sides and that her aims
are monstrous contemplate and ny
pocritical She is now endeavoring
hasely to decieeve the Powers of the
Triple Alliance in order that the Al
les should assure her permanent re-
tention of her actual spoils."

tual Endorsement of the eight-hour

The report closes:
Indications of improvement in the
labor situation in recent months are
apparent, but it needs only a cursory
reading of the daily press to see that
the war industries of this country are
still heavily handicapped by labor
disputes. Cooperation in efforts for
the establishment of some workable
programme which shall minimize
these disturbances, at least for the
duration of the war, is the patriotic
duty of both employers and en-
ployees."

Lake in the Sierras, by Arthur b. Davies

GRAFTON, and, IN the presence of the current
world Of art endeavor, intelligence has been
inevitably driven to aspire to the chilly
heights of intellectual Foundations. What
happened to Picasso happened in turn to
Davies Both left the measure of their ma
tive feeling in order that they might rise
to standards Of more impersona ideal ati-
tudes The thing that was to them in essence
foreign and unreal became the object of a
fascinated attention. 1t was, and perhaps
still continues, enormously attractive, because
of its apparent illimitable potentaites, and
so 1T drew and perhaps still draws them on
to ever wider circles of faulty.
"The heart, says Pascal. has it's reasons
that the intellect does not know. The mod
crn artist and sometimes also the modern
critic, rcverses this and tells us that the
intellect has its emotions that the heart
does not feel and even as Pascal with his
great intellect was just the man to recognize
the former TRUTH it is precisely the emo
tional artists like Pcasso and Davies that
are like to provide the opposite This
might be cited in their justification as pre-
sumption of their greater insight, if there
were not unfortunately a relevant difference
Pascal wrought his way to his own truth
while neither Picasso nor Davies would have
discovered theirs for themselves in a thou
sand years. Pascal's intellect and his re-
nglous intuition were another's peers

gamor is insuffcienty secured by requisite
bulk and weight, than his later things
where. in obedience to a gallant impulse
toward achievement of more brilliant i'm
port, the movement increases to the double

to be. however, of something less than riot
Gus blood indeed at times they hardly seem
to know the difference between rioting and
wrthing.
"The distinctive value of form in Davies s
pictures comes from their balance and their
unity. His graceful figures have little power
or weight, but they have in them a quality
of almost equal worth and fareness, which
is the ripple Of life. His sometimes shadowy
figures shadowy, that is, as mass-get a

frail volumes they have veins flowing with a
pale but genuinely circulating blood stream.
