the lumber districts of the Pa
cific Northwest. 1t included
in its Investigation, however,
the dispute in the California oil
fields, the threatened strike of
Pacific Coast telephone opera
tors, the threatened strike of
packing-house workers in Chi
cago, and the street railway
trouble in Minneapolis and St.
Paul.
Generally the Commission
found that uncorrected specific
evils and the absence of a heal
thy spirit between capital and
labor, due partly to the evils
mentioned and partly to an un-
sound industrial structure, ;"
were the main causes of the
industrial difficulties arising
since the war began. The COM
mission says that while "sinis-
ter influences and extremist
doctrine" have availed them
selves of those conditions, they
have not created them.
"The Overwhelming mass of
the laboring population is in no
sense disloyal," says the report.
A means of correction sug-
gested by the causes of the un-
rest itself the commission out
lines as follows:
/. The elimination to the
utmost practical extent of all
profiteering during the period of
the war is a prerequisite to the
best morale in industry.
2. Modern large-scale indus
try has effectually destroyed
the personal relation between
employer and employee-the
the knowledge and cooperation
that come from personal contact
It is therefore no longer pos
sible to conduct industry with
employees as individuals. Some
form of collective relationship
between management and men
is indispensable. The recogni-
tion of this principle by the
government should form an ac-
cepted part of the labor policy
of the nation.
3. Law, in business as else
where, depends for it's vitality
upon steady enforcement. In
stead of waiting for adjustment
after grievances come to the
surface there is needed the es-
tablishment of continuous adj
ministrative machinery for the
disposition of industrial issues
and the avoidance of an atmos-
phere of contapffon and the
waste of disturbances.
Eight-Hour Day Urged
A. The eight-hour day is an
established policy of the coun-
try; experience has proved just
tification of the principle also
in war times. Provision must
of course be made for longer
hours in case of emergencies.
Labor will readily meet this
requirement if it's misuse is
guarded against by appropriate
overtime payments.
5. Unified direction of the
labor administration of the
United States for the period of
the war should be established.
At present there is an unrelated
number of separate committees,
boards, agencies and depart
ments having fragmentary and
conflicting jurisdiction over the
labor problems raised by the
war. A single-headed admins
tration is needed, with full pow
er to determine and establish
the necessary administration
structure.
6. When assured of sound
labor conditions and effective
means for the just redress Of
grievances that may arise, labor
| in its turn should surrender all
practices which tend to restrict
maximum efficiency.
z. Uncorrected evils are the
greatest provocative of extrem-
list propaganda, and their cor
rection in itself would be the

There was much enthusiasm
manifested.
The crop of garbanzos, or

VILLAGE DEACON DRIVES
GIRL FROM CHURCH
BigOted Pillar of Church Brands
Girl as Scarlet Woman.

Jeanie McGregor was driven
from the house of worship by
/ the intolerance of a narrow
minded congregation after be-
ling denounced as scarlet wom-
an in the Triangle play, with
out Honor" featuring Margery
Wilson, at the Nogales Theatre
on Monday night.
After a few months of happi-
ness with Roy Hanford, whom
Margery married after a short
courtship, the boys own father
appeared at her home with a
warrant charging him with big
amy. She saved her husband
from prison by swearing they
had never been married, and
took her baby and quietly drop
ped from sight, as she didn't
want any Of her old friends to
know of her crushing disgrace.
She answered an ad. for a
woman to help around a dairy in
the country, and here found a
home for herself and baby, with
a motherly old woman who own
ed the ranch, which, unknown to
Jeanie, was near the Hanford
home.
Then came the eventful Sun
day when Jeanie and her kind
benefactress went to church. AS
she walked down the aisle her
eye met that of the deacon and.
rising before the congregation,
he branded her as scarlet wo-
man and drove her from the
house of worship. "Was there
no place where she could turn
for succor?" thought Jeanie as
she she drove home with her en-
ployer, who had stood Loyalty
by her side and insisted that
she remain at the ranch.
But the deacon and his CO.
horts had other plans and were
determined to drive the little
mother and her baby out into
the world again. How the hand
of Providence, in the form of a.
travelling salesman, foiled them
are the thrilling episodes in the
new Triange play. Walt Whit
man, Darrell Foss and Laura
Sears are also seen in this pic

ACROSS THE BORDER.
A Budget of Interesting News
from All Parts of the Neigh
boring Republic.

A projected law of "the pat
rimony of the family" has been
submitted to the state congress
of Durango by instructions from
Governor Arrieta, which, as its
title indicates, deals with the
redemption of the promises of
the revolution in regard to lands
and the protection of families
in their rights thereto. 1t was
in this state that the first steps
were taken early in the revolu-
ton to restore the community
lands to their rightful owners.
On the 9Th of February Gov
ernor Joaquin Mucel of the state
of Campeche, by virtue of au-
thority conferred upon him by
the state congress, forbade the
sale of all alcohol and it's deriv-
atives and gave dealers in alco-
holic beverages twenty days in
which to make the necessary dis
position of their stocks. Only
light wines and beer of low al
coholic strength are allowed to
be sold in the state under severe
penalty
Investigators sent out by the
biological bureau of the Depart
ment of Agriculture report the
discovery in the states of Colima
and Vera Cruz of numerous
specimens of the 'bread tree,
which is common in the islands
of the southern seas. 1t is pro-
posed to propagate and plant
these trees upon a large scale,
thereby forming am important
addition to the food resources OF
the tropical portions of the re-
public.
A special commission has
been appointed by the president
of the republic to make care
full study of the best manner in
which to encourage manufac-
turing enterprises in order to
produce many articles which are
now imported and which in
many cases are made from raw
material produced in Mexico and
exported therefrom. Changes
in the tariff law will be suggest
ed for this purpose.
The National Agrarian Com
mission has under discussion a
law for the indemnification Of
land owners whose property or a
portion thereof may be declared
a public utility and taken over
by the government for allotment
to those desiring to cultivate the
same. The object is to arrive at
an equitable arrangement with
justice to all concerned.
Permission has been given to
various municipalities in the
state of Chihuahua to organize
local defence bodies for the pur-
pose of committing fugitive
parties Of bandits who give
trouble in remote localities. 9th
er states are following the ex-
ample, organizing forces after
the former system of rurales or
mounted police.
Indications are that the cot
ton crop of the Laguna district
of the states of Coahuila and
Durango will be three times as
great as for the past year, when
it amounted to over 100000
bales of a total value of ten mil
lions of dollars. None of it was

CONGRATULATIONS
 FOR ARIZONA

PHOENIX, Ariz., March From Washington, Chairman Dwight B. Heard has brought the pleasant word that, in the state councils section of the Council of National Defense, Ari- zona is classed among the first on the inter-mountain states in the de- gree of efficiency attained by its state council. There was compliment con- corning the completeness of the Ari- zona crop surveyS commendation o1 the idea of turning over organization of the county councils to the several boards of supervisors and warm appro' val of the plans locally made for the welfare service work of the .Arizons Red Cross service section. The state councils section at Washington at al times offers all possible consideration and assistance to the Arizona organi zation, appreciating that ideas thar have proven successful in the east of ten cannot be applied in Arizona witf its comparatively small and largel! scattered population.

AMERICAN AND
 GERMAN EFFICIENCY

The searchlight of was has brought out many interesting facts and one of these is that the vaunted German ef- ficiency not always stand the test of comparison with American efficiency.
 The Germans boasted of being the greatest farmers on earth. Investiga- tion shows that in efficiency in agri- culture, measured by the produce per acre, America being graded 100, Bel gium leads the world at POS; Great Britain third, at 155; America comes | fourth.
 But the better test is the man test rather than the acre test, and here America leads the world by over 2 tc 1. Again, grading America at 100 pel farm worker, Great Britain produces 43 and Germany 41. The American farmer cultivates 27 acres, the Ger, man farmer but 2. With the aid oi vast quantities of fertilizer the Ger man produces more per acre, but ht produces at a much greater cost pel bushel and he produces much less thar half as much per man.

DENOUNCES KAISER'S
 VICTORY-FIRST TALK

AMSTERDAM-In Tuesdays de- bate on Chancellor von Hertling's Speech in the German reichstag, Phil lipp Seheidemann, Socialist, took the emperor to task for his reply to the address of the burgomaster of Ham, burg in which the emperor said:
 "We desire to live in friendship with neighboring peoples, but victory for the German arms must first be recognized"
 "We have heard recently" said Herr Scheidemann, "of the speech in which it was said the world must first recog- nize us as victorious. Not for a long time have we read anything the tone of which was so displeasing and the contents so unpolitie. Perhaps it is to the point to recall that all parties, in- cluding the Conservatives, in Novem- Der, 1908, recommend somewhat more reserve in that quarter.
 "In times when there is talk of peace, words from an authoritative source should be very carefully weigh ed. A great part of the people whom we represent do not share the views uttered in that speech, but on the oth. CT hand energetically repudiate them
 Herr Seheidemann declared that at. tempts to conclude a peace on the west such as that with Russia would prove a trial of strength dangerous for Ger many. The world would go to sleeI with rifles in hand, Bolshevik dreams would be realized and world revolu ton arrive.
 Herr Scheidemann said in conclu sion: "The imperial chancellor frank ly stated yesterday that he accepted President Wilson's four principles This declaration is all the more i'm portant when one considers that Presi dent Wilson emphasized that his prin ciples were accepted everywhere ex cept by the German annexationis

HURRY-UP CALL

There is a hurry-up call to hasten hospital supplies to France during the next three months, says Mrs. George Lathrop, president of the American Fund for French Wounded. "We can get them there now," she adds. La ter General Pershing may find it nec- essary to restrict tonnage to the trans port of men and munitions. Get these hospital supplies there as soon as pos sible. It is not too much to say that the fate of civilization may be depen- dent upon it. France needs supplies. She needs rubber and woolen goods for her wounded and must have them if they are to be sent back to the trenches"

A JUST AND LASTING PEACE

The essential principles that must underlie peace, as stated by President Wilson, should be constantly kept in mind. They show the greatness and unselfishness and justice of Americas war aims. Briefly they are:
 CD The final settlement of this war must be based upon essential jus tice and each particular case so ad- justed as will most likely bring a per manent peace.
 @ Peoples and provinces are not to be bartered about as if they were mere chattels and pawns in a game
 (3) Every territorial settlement must be made in the interest of and for the benefit of the populations con- cerned and not by way of compromis- ing claims of rival states.
 (4) National aspirations must be accorded all the satisfaction possible, without introducing new or perpetual ing old elements of discord.

party. We'll, this party, fortunately, is in this country no longer of decisive importance"
 Dr. Solf said that Germany desired, in the interests of the prestige of the white race, to neutralize all her colo nies, declaring:
 "Our East Africans are holding out, not as General Shuts thinks, because they have been prepared for years for war against Europeans, but because we have succeeded twice in sending them arms and ammunition.
 "Germany's program does not entail militarization in Africa. Neverthe- less Germany cannot make herself de- fenseless on this account while others are militarizing."
 Dr. Solf said that the recent speech of General Shuts showed that he wanted to destroy Germany as a col onial power, just as Lloyd George would destroy Germany as a conti- mental power, andSir Edward Carson desired to destroy Germany as an in- dustrial power.
 Dr. Gustave Stresemann, National Liberal, opposed the chancellor's in vitation to Belgium, declaring:
 ''Eyen if its annexation is not in tended, Belgium constitutes pawn against Great Britain"
 Rumania, according to Stresemann, does not deserve consideration, and he continued:
 "A war indemnity is real guaran- tee for lasting peace, and the occu- pying force must remain in Rumania until an indemnity is paid"

METALS SITUATION CLEARED
 BY REPORT OF SALT LAKER

A summary of his activities at l Washington during the past two months on behalf of the metal mining industry, was presented in the form of a report by Secretary A. G. McKen- zie of the Utah chapter of the Ameri- can Mining congress at a special meet ing of the board of governors of the local chapter. The report did much to clear up the situation with refer ence to the price-fixing of silver and other metals, as well as to cast some light on excess profits tax situation. The report follows in part:
 The situation with regard to silver is rather involved. The government is in need of a considerable quantity of silver bulion-probably 60,O00,OOO ounces or more at the present time to settle obligations to India, Japan and other nations. A sufficient quan- tity is not available in the open mar ket and the government has decided to draw for its immediate needs on the only considerable available supply the silver coin now held in the U. S. treasury and represented by the silver certificates outstanding. The silver thus held in reserve amounts to about 49O, 100000 ounces.
 The government proposes to with draw a sufficient amount of this to meet its present obligations. The coins thus withdrawn are to be melted down to bullion again and sent abroad. IOf course, silver certificates of face value equal to the face value of the coins thus taken from the treasury will have to be called in from the banks. This subtraction from the country's currency is to be met by an equivalent issue of federal reserve bank currency. The government IS to contract, at the time of each with drawal of silver coin, to purchase an equal number of ounces in the open market at S1 an ounce.
 The protection of the silver producer is in the condition that the govern ment contract to purchase silver in the market at S1 an ounce, placing its or ders in accordance with withdrawals from the reserve. The government, as the principal purchaser of silver and with the general powers 1t possesses is able to maintain any price it fixes and we are assured that the price would be maintained at the figure named.
 The latest advice I had-obtained ! February Is, the day l left Washing ton. from Director Baker-was that early action might be expected on the proposed legislation. Mir. Baker told me that the matter was being held up now only to allow the federal reserve board to make arrangements to re- place the silver certificates withdrawn: This was in line with information l had received several times previously from Mir. Baker. I told him that our western producers were holding their plans for he,season in abeyance pend 1 ing action by the government ana that valuable time was passing. lie assur- ed me that all possible was being done' that he was giving his personal atten- tion to the matter and that early ac- tion could be expected.
 i I understand thd bill covering the matter is in the hands of Senator Pitt man of Nevada, and that it calls for an initial purchase of 5O,OOO,OOO ounces by the government at S1 an ounce. I have also been informed that
