INTERNATIONAL LABOR
LEGISLATION TO FRONT
BRITIAN'S PLAN FOR INTERNA-
EQUALIZATION OF LABOR BE-
FORE PEACE CONGRESS-

PARASITIC second session of the
peace congress, which will be held to-
morrow, will like the first one, be
open to the press. The first subject
in the order of business will be the
question of international legislation
on labor. Under instructions given
during the first session the various
national delegations have been pre-
pairing written statements of their
views on this question.
PARIS.-Great Britaini's plan for
the actual working machinery to car
ry out the proposed internationaliza-
tion of labor was outlined yesterday
to the Associated Press by George
Nicoll Barnes, minister without port
folio, whose proposals will be consid-
cred by the peace conference Satur-
day. Briefly, his program calls for
establishment of an international COM
mission made up of the representa-
tives of both labor and capital for the
settlement of labor problems. This
commission is to be responsible to
the league of nations.
Under the Barnes scheme would be
the appointment by the peace confer
ence of a small commission composed
Of delegates from the great powers.
This commission would convene the
first labor conference, which, in re-
turn, would become the central in
ternatiOnal commission for the better
ment of labor.
May Make Suggestions.
Because of lack of machinery the
present peace conference would be
unable to establish a perfected COM
mission, although the peace confer
ence may make certain suggestions
and even bind the powers to them.
For example, such questions as the
right of the people to form them
selves into trade unions might be
settled by the peace conference. The
matters of the hour of labor and SINH
liar problems would come before the
international labor committee. In
case of nonfulfilment of labor agree
ments, the league of nations would
be called in to settle the matter.
Work Out Local Differences.
The international labor commission,
or bureau, will not deal with purely
internal problems of the nations.
Capital and labor will still work out
their local differences as before.
Asked as to what power the com
mission would have back of it to en-
force its rulings. Mr.. Barnes replied
in substance that if any nation re-
fused to play the game she might
be brought to reason by depriving
her of trade privileges with sister
states.

AMENDMENTS MAY
KILL AID. MEASURE
ADMINISTRATION BILL FAILED
TO PASS COMMITTEE IN SEN
ATE THIS MORNING

BOISE.-An effort to push the ad-
ministration bill, known as senate bill
No. 10, through the committee Of the
whole without amendments failed this
morning. 1t is believed that a num-
Der of amendments will make their
appearance, endangering the final
passage of the measure.
Harrison and Peckham Of Clear
water county this morning introduced
a bill in the house providing for the
making of local county tickets non
partizan the same as the judiciary
ticket now is. Another bill introduced
in the house this morning provides
that no foreign language shall be
taught in the common and high
schools of the state.
A memorial to congress asking for
the enactment of national legislation
providing that veterans of the world
war be given credit for time in the
service on their homestead final
proofs.
After two weeks delay the memoir
ial to congress by Pettibone asking
for an appropriation of half mil
lion dollars for road work on the
South Fork of the Clearwater river,
was approved and passed by the SEN
ate this morning.

SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE
NEWS FROM BOISE
NEW IRRIGATION MEASURE UP
GAMBLING BILL PROVOKES
DEBATE

BOISE.-Gathering of the irriga-
tion men of the state in Boise dur
ing the past two or three days por-
tends the desperate fight which will
be made over the provisions of bill
about to be introduced in the legisla-
ture which, it is said, would drastical-
ly change the irrigation laws of the
state
1t is believed that the proposed
measure which is voluminous in its
provisions, will re stoutly fought by
many men interested in irrigation in
southeastern Idaho. 1t is known that
the Bonneville county delegation is
absolutely against the measure.
In the bill salaries of $500 per year
are provided for a board of three ir-
rigatiOn commissioners. TWO Of the
board would be republicans and a
third democrat under the present
administration. The authorship of
the measure is generally credited to
the retiring state engineer, Fred Will
kie and it's opponents state that Mr..
Wilkie would likely be the democrat
appointee on the board.
A number of lawyers from different
parts of the state are here at the pres
ent time in the interests of or against
BOISE.-Bitterly opposing the bill
by Senator Witty of Bannock county
providing that gambling places be de-
clared a nuisance and enjoined, Sen
ator Whitcomb of Lemhi county again
attacked the bill in the senate COM
mittee of the whole yesterday after
noon.
When the measure had been debated
during the entire afternoon session, a
substitute motion calling for an ad-
verse report from the committee lost
and Senator Witty was able to have
the bill reported for passage.
After praising the city administra-
ton of Pocatello and especially the
mayor as earnest, Conscientious men,
Senator Witty stated in his speech fa-
voring the measure, that at least one
place in the gate city had a sign writ
ten in original characters on the door,
ORIENTAL GAMBLING GOING ON
IN HERE. He insisted that no inno-
cent person would be subject to un-
fair ENJOYMENT under the act while
Senator Whitcomb characterized the
as IAN attack against the
laws of the state
The bill reads that tany building,
place, or the ground itself wherein or
whereon gambling tables place-shall
be enjoined or abated." Senator Wit
ty amended it yesterday afternoon to
have gambling include games for
checks, trade and other substitutes for
money making it far reaching in it's
effect on pool rooms, cigar stores and
card rooms in the state. The amend
ment was not fought as expected 1t
seeming to have escaped the attention
Of the opponents of the bill.

RED CROSS HONORS CONFERRED
Mrs. c.. J. Orland is Elected to At
tend the Division Conference.

At regular meeting of the Latah
County Red Cross, Mrs. G. J. Orland
was elected a representative to attend
the Home Service Conference to be
held in Seattle next week.
Mrs. Orland has administered for
Latah county this very technical
branch of Red Cross work since the
organization of the county society,
and now goes to confere with local
and divisional workers upon new
phases of the work incidental to con-
ditions growing out of the armistice
and the rehabilitation of the Ameri-
can forces.
The division office considers the
need for such conference to be
greater than ever before, in order
that the chapters of the northwest
may be prepared to care for the con-
tinuing needs of the families whose
men will be stationed overseas with
the army of occupation; and to carry
out the plans of the Red Cross for
cooperation with other agencies in
work for discharged and demobilized
soldiers

MILWAUKEE SCHOOLS
MAY DROP GERMAN
AT ONE TIME EMPLOYED 200
TEACHERS AND HAD 10000
PUPILS TAKING GERMAN


MILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan. - Tho
teaching of the German language in
Milwaukee grade schools may disap-
pear entirely when the new semester
begins in February. In only one
school in the city now is German be-
ing taught and, under the resolution
of the school board abolishing for
eign language instruction, it would be
discontinued at the end of the term
in June.
In 1916, 200 teachers were employ
ed to give instruction in the German
language to 10000 pupils and at the
end of 1918, only one teacher was en-
ployed to instruct 400 pupils in the
German language.
One of the final instances in con-
nection with the elimination of Ger
man instruction came with the re-
cent announcement that Leo Stern, as
sistant superintendent of schools in
charge of the foreign language de-
partment, at the end of the present
year. Mr.. Stern's term expires June
30. Mr.. Stern in his letter to the
school board said that after a serv-
ice of 35 years in the Milwaukee
schools, he felt. that he was "entitled
to a rest"
Mr.. Stern was president of the Wis
consin branch of the German-Ameri-
can alliance from the time of its or
ganization in 1906 until it was dis
banded in 1917. He was also at one
time vice-president of the national or
ganization.
