Causes of Troubles Analysed.

In a general analysis of the causes of
labor difficulties. with particular refer
ence to war needs. the commission
makes observations. in part. as follows:
prehensively prevented to the full ex-
tent that governmental action can pre-
vent it, just SO long will a sense of in
equality disturb the fullest devotion of
labor's contribution to the war"
Declaring that "the causes of unrest
suggest their own means of correc-
tion,' the following six recommends :
tions are made by the commission, in
addition to the one given above:
Modern large-scale industry has eff
fectually destroyed the personal rela-
tion between employer and employe-
the knowledge and cooperation that
come from personal contacs. 1t is.
therefore, no longer possible to conduct
Industry by dealing with employees as
individuals Some form of collective re-
lationship between management and
men is indispensable. The recognition
Of this principle by the government
should form an accepted part of the
labor policy Of the nation.
For Orderly Disposition of Issues.
Law, in business as elsewhere. de-
pends for its vitality upon steady en-
forcement. Instead of waiting for ad-
justment after grievances come to the
surface there Is needed the establish
ment of continuous administrative ma
chinery for the orderly disposition of
industrial issues and the avoidance of
an atmosphere Of contention and the
waste of disturbances.
The eight-hour day is an established
policy of the country: experience has
proved justification 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 II its misuse is guard
ed against by appropriate overtime
payments.
Unified direction of the labor admin
istration of the United States for the
period of the war should be estab-
lished. At present there is an unre-
lated number of separate committees,
ing fragmentary and conflicting juris-
dictfon over the labor problems raised
by the war.
Need Single-Headed Administration.
"a single headed adminstra tion is
needed. with full power to determine
and establish the necessary admins
trative structure.
tSince the report was written, the di-
rection of the labor administration for
the war has been delegated to the Sec
retary of Labor)
when assured of sound labor condi-
tions and effective means for the just
redress of grievances that may arise
labor In it's turn should surrender all
practices which tend to restrict maxi
mum efficiency.
"Uncorrected evils are the greatest
provocative to extremist propaganda
and their correction in itself would be
the best counterpropaganda. But there
is need for more affirmative education
There has been too little publicity OF
an educative sort in regard to labor's
relation to the war. The purposes OF
the government and the methods by
which ii Is pursuing them should be
brought home to the fuller understand
ing Of labor. Labor has most at stake
in this war, and it will eagerly devote
its all IL only it be treated with con-
hdence and understanding, subject
neither to Indulgence nor neglect, but
dealt with as part of the citizenship
Of the state"

immigration Promises to
Set New Record-SmaIIest
Since the Colonial DAYS

When the present fiscal year ends,
June 80. ii is highly probable that
new immigration record will be set
the smallest since colonial days, says
the Washington Herald
Immigration statistics OF the first
six months indicate that the years
total may be less than 100000 persons.
For the half-year ending January l.
1918, only 57.1l5 came to America. and
since then the monthly totals have
dwindled TO a few thousands.
The war. of course. is responsible.
The real dwindling began when the
United States entered the war. Since
that day only one country has sent
anything like the normal number Of
immigrants. That Is Japan, which
country now leads all nations in send
ing immigrants to America. japanese
immigration this year will reach 1900
as against 1925 in 1917, Sill in 1916
and 5000 in 1915. During the first
half of this fiscal year COOS japanese
arrived and they've been coming over
at the rate of more than a thousand
a month.
Italy, which before the war sent
over seven times as many immigrants
as Japan then did. this year will send
less than third as many.
Mexico. which sent 16,43S imml-
grants in 1917, will send less than
three thousand this year.

Find Markets for
Canned Goods
By the u. S. Department Of
Agriculture

Housewives and members of can
ling clubs are urged TO study their
market at the beginning of the season
and pack according TO the local de-
hands for different products. They
are advised by the bureau Of markets
If the department to secure orders for
canned goods before putting them up.
Small lots of nonstandardized prod
nets are difficult 10 sell except among
local buyers and are not purchased by
the army. navy, commercial dealers
Or any department Of the government.
Many appeals TO the department Of
agriculture TO find market for home
canned goods have been made during
the past year and often the Gamers
believed that the government was in
the market for such goods. Subject
to whatever regulations may be made
by the federal government the mar
keting Of food products will proceed
in the usual manner and the bureau Of
markets points out that proper grad
ing. standardizing and careful prepa-
ration for market are especially nee
essary In handling canned goods. jams.
jellies and preserves.
HOme-canned products can be kept
over from one season to the next and
those who have not sold their goods
have reserves to draw from for their
nome table. 1t is good policy. say the
specialists, for the housewife to pro-
vide q reasonable surplus beyond the
probable home consumption for the
next crop scar.
While the bureau of markets is CIV
ing aid to producers on marketing
problems 1t says that 1t is difficult to
place producers Of small quantities Of
different kinds Of products in touch
with buyers and urges home and club
Gamers to learn the marketing end Of
their business just the same as pro-
ducers in other lines of industry.

Notes of Interest.

In the schools Of the Philip

native teachers and 500 Ameri-

Within the foreign conces-
sions Of Hankow there are q

The reason why opals are Of
ten lost from their settings is
that they expand with heat
more than any other precious
stones. and consequently force
open the gold which holds them
in place. with the result that
they ultimately fall out.

few weeks ago the nation thrilled
when came from the Pacific coast that
a steel cargo carrier of $500 tons was put over
board % working days after the laying OF her
keel and delivered TO the Emergency Fleet
corporation ready for service II days later. But
the gecord thus set by the steamship West Lianga.
built at Seattle by the Skinner X Eddy company
was fated to survive only short while.
On April the keel of the collier Tuckahoe
was laid at the yard of the New York Shipbuiid-
Ing company AT Camden y. J. Twenty-seven
days afterward. on May 5, the ship launched

over To the government authorities. Her con-
tract did not call for her delivery until the middle
of June.
The West 4anga. il should be borne in mind
Is q ship OF $500 tons dead weight capacity,
while the Tuckahoe is Of $500 tons. and this diff
ference brings the two achievements much
closer to equality than is commonly recognized
For instance, the Skinner Eddy steamship
probably has In her getup substantially 500
90 rivets, while the collier built on the Della
ware called for substantially 10000 rivets.
When all is said and done the rate of prog
curately judged by the number of rivets driven
because the ultimate factor is the riveting gang
and muscular effort and human endurance on
the part Of these men deterrsine the speed of
assembling.
The driving of rivets cannot be lodged i'm
perfectly done If the craft Is to be put together
properly. and while exceptional records have been
made Of late In rivet driving these performances
are In the main isolated and by no means an in
dex Of everyday and universal occurrence. Some
Of the especially expert gangs have driven any
where from 100 TO 1000 rivets In a days
work. but the majority of them do not average
more than 400 rivets during a regular shift.
How then was IL possible to put the Tuckahoe
together between April and May 5?
The New York Shipbuilding corporation
about 10 years ago initiated the standardized
ship with the idea Of producing economically and
rapidly numerous vessels of identical form and

The director general has it in his
nower, acting as representative OF
the President, to put new rates into
effect at any time without consult
ing the Interstate Commerce COM
mission or he may apply to the COM
mission for authority to change
schedules if he wishes. His advis-
ers in the railroad administration.
however, are insistent that speedy
action be taken to furnish railroads
new revenues and it is considered
probable he will adopt the former
course.
Mr.. McAdoo, although still con-
fined to his home by illness. has
studied recommendation for rate
increases, and is expected to give the
subject further attention when he
returns to his Office later this week.
Most railroad administration officials
are anxious for the new rates to be
put into effect in June.
To ascertain exactly what improve
ments and extensions railroads are
making, the director general ordered
companies to report what projects
are under way or planned and
whether adequate funds are avail
able for the work.
