The excitement was intense when,

URGES NEED OF UTILIZING
NATIONS FULL MAN POWER
Mediation Commission
Reports on Street Car Troubles
in st. Paul and Minneapolis.

Necessity for full use Of the nations
man power demands that industries give
preference in employment to competent
men out of work over those already en-
ployed, concludes the Presidents media
ton commission in a special report on the
labor disputes affecting the st. Paul and
Minneapolis street car lines
The report, which gives history Of the
strike, shows that several hundred former
employees Of the Twin City company re-
main unemployed. In January, however,
the commission asserts, the company ad-
vertised in Minnesota country newspaper
and employed twenty-eight from the
country districts to fill vacancies on the
street cars. The strike. the report con-
tnues. virtually had been settled By an
order issued by the Minnesota state pub
ilc safety commission, concurred in by
the company and the men, providing for
no discrimination against the men be-
cause of union affiliations. A misunder-
standing later arose about the wearing OF
union buttons by the men and several
hundred considered themselves locked out
whereas the company believed it was fol-
loving the safety commissions order.
The report urges the men to offer
themselves for reinstatement and rec
ommends that the company reinstate the
men as to wages and former status.

DETAILED REVIEW OF RUSSIAS
PART IN CONFLICT OF NATIONS

while Russia was fast splitting up.
District after district declared hts in
dependence, Finland and Ukraine being
the notable examples. The Ukraine
opened separate negotiations with the
central powers. and these culrninated
last Saturday in the signing of 4 peace
agreement The bolsheviki haEe not
recognized the authority of the Ukraine
to treat for itself through the trepre-
sentatiyes of the rada, but apparently
Germany and her allies saw an Opening
for forcing a peace through the inser-
ton of the Ukrainian wedge.
Whether the elimination OF the
Ukrainian negotiations in peace
treaty was the determining factor in
inducing the bolshevilli to declare the
state of war at an end is not at all
clear as yet. The advices from both
Russia and Germany regarding the
Trotzky and his fellow delegates to
the conference have been extremely
meager.
German Rulers Decide.
Some important decision regarding
the situation in the east was reached
by the German rulers at a recent crown
council, and it may be the effect OF
this unrevealed determination that has
shown itself in the events of the last
few days at the scene of the parley-
ing.
1t has been made fairly clear. how
ever. that Germany had no idea OF
yielding to the bolsheviki on the Ques-
tion of evacuation of Russian occupied
territory which had been the sticking
point in the negotiations. and that she
was preparing virtually to ignore the
bolsheviki as lang as she could make
peace with the Ukraine and secure the
opening of the frontiers to the rich
grain growing provinces controlled
even nominally by the Ukrainians.

Reddy Fox Explains His Plan.

Roughleg the Hawk has lived long
enough to have learned that a smooth
tongue is not always to be trusted. He
has seen enough of Reddy Fox and his
doings to be suspicious, to say the least,
of anything Reddy may do or say. So
when Reddy proposed that they become
partners in trying to catch Danny

shift his position a little. cock his head

Fox with one eye while with the other
he winked up at jolly, round, bright

fellow thinks he's smart, but he can't

Reddy must have guessed what was
passing in the mind of Roughleg, for
without waiting for an answer he be-
gan to explain his plan.
Danny Meadow Mouse" said he, "is
a sharp chap, but with all his sharp
ness he is needless sometimes. l al
most caught him the other day because
of heedlessness. Now when L am hunt
ing him he has eyes for no one but me,
and when you are hunting him he has

you never have hunted him when you

pose we hunt him together. While he
is watching me you will have. a chance
to catch him, or while he is watching
you l will have a chance to catch him.
One or the other of us will be sure to
catch him. OF course, it won't matter
which one does it as long as one sue
ceeds."
