An investigation OF Industrial condi-

National Civic Federation to bring about
an understanding between capital and
the employed before radical movements
become more acute II was announced
yesterday at Il luncheon in the Midday

Major August Belmont and Pomeroy
Burton OF the London Daily Mol en-
phasized the Importance of acting quickly.
Old Order Is No More.
Mr. Frayne said the war has changed
the old order OF labor conditions and
that more value must in the future be
placed on labor by the public generally.
He continued:
Capital must begin and recognize the
distinction between the real. bona fide
labor movement as typified by the Amer
lean Federation of Labor and deal with
It fairly to obtain this cooperation. II
they do not resolve to do 20 they will
have to face the other-the L w. w.
and the Bolsheviki. That sort Of labor
does not recognize employers at all
nor does IL believe in cooperation"
Major Belmont said that in the war
the Government went into business on
borrowed capital irrespective Of any re-
turn. disregarding the economic basis,
and there Is imperative need for read
justment.
do not think that I mean there should
be any reduction in wages" he said, "for

a proper economic basis 60 that capital

Speaking OF the English labor situa-
tion. Mr. Burton said:
Make no mistake about the extent
and seriousness of this worldwide indus
trial movement. II is not merely a show
Of new strength on the part of labor
against capital II Is not merely mat
ter OF hours and wages. Underlying is
a determination to better the human
conditions of labor all over the world.
That idea grew out of the war because
the war made men think.
Enough Work for All.
There is an enormous shortage in the
worlds goods and on an economically
sound basis there is moro than enough
work for everybody. Until this short
age Of life essentials IL made up hiSh
prices are bound to continue Under
these conditions to strike for higher
wages and shorter hours is simply to de-
feat the very ends the workers have in
view"

200 ENEMY ALIEN
TO BE SENT ABROAD
Unofficial information Obtained OF
Wives of Prisoners at Fl.
Douglas Post
RIGID SECRECY Is MAINTAINED

That a ship leaving an eastern
port sometime this month will carry
more than 200 enemy aliens from
Fort Douglas war prison camp back
to Germany, was the intimation that
was given in Salt Lake yesterday.
Unofficial information given out by
the federal officers here is traced to
the wives of two prominent war
prisoners interned at the post, who,
following months of political and
diplomatic relations with the Swiss
legation at Washington, and the
United States and German govern
ments, have practically completed
preparations for, the deportation of
Austrian and German prisoners OF
war.
The most rigid secrecy is being
maintained regarding the movement
of the prisoners and no confirmation
has come as yet from official circle
in Washington. 1t was said, how
ever, by Dave Gershon, special inves-
tigator for the department of justice,
yesterday that intimation of the pro-
posed move had come to him. Fur3
Their information followed when it
vas declared that list of enemy
aliens at Fort Douglas, ready for de-
portation, had already been approved
oy the government.
Approximately 200 aliens will be
en- from Fort Douglas about June
10 and transported to Charleston, s.
c., from where the ship will sail,
Tune Is, if the plan materializes, it
was announced yesterday. Prison
ers from camps thruout the United
States will be included upon the sail
ing list of the steamer, it is stated.

One Of the most remarkable wills
admitted to probate at Penn Van, N.
Y, was that of Lydia M. Bates, who
died in the town of Potter in 1917 at
the age of ninety-nine years, having
made the will when she was ninety
five years old. Between the time the
will was made and the date the testa-
trix died practically all Of the heirs
and legatees died.
The will consists of approximately
5000 words and bequeaths everything
from her farm in Middlesex, to the
smallest piece of personal property, to
relatives and friends. Some Of the
requests made by Miss Bates consisted
Of one handkerchief or one pair Of
stockings. There are half hundred
different requests. To Avis r. Rob-
erts was left coverlid more than a
century old; also white cup and sau-
Ger nearly two centuries old, and a
vial for cordials $50 years old.

Probably the most striking single
object is cartridge case for the 40

the largest fixed ammunition in the

of observation. Any traveller will
tell more about strange lands than
he was aware of noticing at the

The human mind is much larger in
scope than there is any use for in
ordinary circumstances, but thous-
ehds Of impressions stored away in
the mental picture gallery come in
handy at one time or another, and
all help to make up ones general
outlook.
Sometimes one is puzzled to know
why some stranger looks like a pos
sible friend and another like a pos
sible enemy; why we cannot be
happy without certain hat; why
we prefer Cohan to Carrie Jacobs

analysed. Many preferences are due

Late Frost Takes
Some Tender Plants

Reports indicate that the hard
freeze of last week worked most of
it's damage on farm and garden
crops. Tomato vines that had just
been set out were reduced to mere
cinders. Some young beets went
down. Corn, up two or three inches,
seemed to Withstand the cold. Tender
beans lost out in good many gar
dens.
Evidently the early gardener lost
most heavily; his ground was soft
with cultivation, and his plants out
enough to catch the cold.
Fruit, for the most part, seems to
have been far enough advanced to
escape harm.

at once.
when a storage battery is built"
says Mr.. G.. C. Moore local represen-
tatiye of the Willard Storage Battery
Co. it has in it all the elements
necessary to insure satisfactory oper-
alton. Nothing can get out of it ex-
ceptsthe water that evaporates, and
nothing can get into it unless it is
contained in some form in the water
that you add.
"Tf the water that you put in every
week or so to make up for the amount
that evaporates contains ever so little
iron in any form or other substance,
this will remain in the battery. A lit
tie more is put in each time and soon
there is enough to interfere with pro
per, action; and your battery wears
out much more rapidly than it should.
IF distilled water only is added
there is no chance of foreign sub
stances working their way in, and
and consequently the battery plates
will give better and longer service"
