Monkey as Labor Possibility.

The pig-tailed macaque or brok OF
the Malays is highly intelligent an
imal, and the Malays train them to
pick coconuts. The modus operandi is
described by Il. w. c. Shelford in GA
Naturalist in Rorneo." A cord is fast
ened round the monkeys waist and it
is led to the coconut palm. which 1t
rapidly climbs. 1t then lays hold of
nut, and if the owner judges the fruit
to be ripe for plucking he shouts to the
monkey, which then twists the nut
round and round till the stalk is bro
ken and lets it fall to the ground. II
the monkey catches hold Of an unripe
fruit the owner tugs the cord and the
monkey tries another. I have seen a
brok act AS very efficient fruitpicker,

pensed with altogether. the monkey be-

the noise Of the engines. and took the

from the boat kitchen to the barge
saloon over a swaying bridge be-

with great aplomb under the direction
Of the barge captain, who was noble

The upper decks Of the harges were
canopied and decked with flowers,
with promenades and easy chairs from

Less Crime, Fewer Carpets.

There does not at first glance seem
to be much connection between crime

in crime brought about in India. as
elsewhere, by the war has led to q
decrease in the supply OF Indian cor
pets. The reason is that most Of these
carpets, especially the finer and more

ciared Nathan A. Smyth, assistant d.

ploynient service, in an address here.
Speaking before employment service

said had been made on the service by

ployment agencies and the National

"A spirit of social unrest is spreading
across the country like the influenza. and
the only agency that is working against
1t is the United States employment
service
Asserting the most serious attack had
come from the National Metal Trades
Association. Mr. Smyth continued:
The Metal Trades Association has
some fourteen or fifteen branch offices
throughout the country which operate
as employment agencies. The associa-
tion stands for an open shop. Some of
Is members are openly opposed to or
ganized labor. although this cannot be
said of the membership as a whole.
''In these branches there is kept what
Is known to laboring men as black
list Naturally, organized labor is very
much opposed to this system.
Apparently this explains the motives
which underlie the activit es of the Metal
Trades Association. The fight between
employers and organized labor which was
forgotten during the war seems to be
cropping out again. Some employers ap-
parently fear a Federal employment
agent will be utilized to At the inter-
ests of organized labor. This fear is
unfounded. The Department of Labor
both through its employment service
and It's other bureaus, has lived up to it's
announced policy Of strict neutrality"

FOREIGN WARES EXCLUDED
FROM ALL FRENCH PORTS

as it produces only a small supply.
Hence the French are demanding
that the Germans supply coal cheap
in payment of reparation.
There is danger in excessive de-
mands upon Germany, as seen by
Americans interested in the larger
future of the world. g..
Must Not Destroy Germany
There would be no gain to the
world to destroy Germany, even to
save France. To strike a balance
between the interests of these two
countries and give both an indus
trial future is the biggest problem
of the Peace Conference.
A grave side to the problem is
social. Bolshevism has been tenn
porarily averted in Germany, but
unless industries are set going in
both countries there will be grave
social dangers in both.
Burden on French Poor
The cost of the war presses hard
on the poor of France, which, un-
like England and America, did not
tax incomes and pay part of her
war expenses currently. The policy
of waiting for industry to get
started here asks a good deal of
people oppressed by the cost of
living who will seek employment in
increasing numbers as demobiliza-
ton proceeds. The Ford incident
illustrates the Industrial effects OF
this policy. A Ford advertisement
points out that the sale of cars
would improve transportation, thu:
lessening the cost of food, and would
furnish employment to many work
men in the Ford factory, in dealers
showrooms, and in the transporta
ton of products.
| On the other hand is the state
ment of French financiers tina
France cannot borrow more abroad
cannot buy foreign products ant
that the real interests of France ant
French workmen lie in the building
up of French industries.
The question is whether the publi
will be patient. The situation i
difficult, not only for the Frencl
Government, but for all govern
ments represented here, for all ar
in the same boat, all equally inter
ested in maintaining not only finan
cial, but social equilibrium.
