At the end of the opening day OF

sides rested, apparently satisfied with
reports received from the far-f1ung bat

which might prove long and bitter
Grim evidence of preparations made
for the industrial conflict were seen
in the armed guards surrounding all
the mills, but the first day of the strike
ended with no signs of serious disor-

seven persons were shot in rioting
following an alleged attempt to pre-
vent workers from entering a plant.
Until the first smoke OF battle rolls
away, an accurate estimate of the
number of workers who marched out
in obedience to the strike order and
the number who remained at their
posts is not obtainable.

GENERAL PALMER RECOMMENDS
AN ARMISTICE OF SIX MONTHS.

Freeport, Pa.-An absolute indus.
trial armistice for six months was
urged by Attorney General Palmer
here to permit the solution of econom-
ic problems arising out of the changes
wrought by war
Such a period of freedom from un-
rest, he declared, would result soon in
increased production which would
bring about an era of "easier living
and better times" for all. On the
other hand, the attorney general
warned, selfish demands by any one
class cannot stimulate the national
prosperity or permanently benefit even
those obtaining such demands by
force.

meet death when the condemned man
begged to be confronted with former

Shubert. ga great portion of that ex-

theatrical productions in the future, be-
cause the people who spent that money
will crave entertainment and they
will find it in the theatre.
"While many lines of business may
bewail the passing of liquor in the
United States, the theatrical owners,
looking at the matter from a purely
business standpoint, have reason for re-
joicing. They see in it vastly larger
audiences. They are not altogether sell

you persuade people to visit the theatre
you are p%ersuading them to obtain the
recreation that means greater productive

men applied for rooms in Uncle Sans

war workers arose with a howl. They
said congressional secretaries were not
war workers in any sense Of the word
lin fact, that many of them didn't
know what real work was. They also
said that the secretaries got such fine
salaries from the government they could
provide their own accommodations in

NAN 1900 women live together in har-
- mony? This is the intensely inter-
esting sociological and domestic expert
mcnt the United States Government is
trying at Washington with its wal
workers. So far, the answer is yes
and no. The women say that it would
have been a complete success from the
start if it were not for the fact that at
the beginning the general manager Of
the plan was a mere man. The friends
of that general. manager, however, say
he clearly was entitled to a distin-
guished service medal for his courage in
ever having undertaken such a task.
Now the poor mere man has been
thrown out, bag and baggage, and the
whole scheme has been taken over by
the ~womanfolk, who are sure they will
live happily forever afterward.
So far as known this is the first time
an attempt has ever been made to house
SO many women together in a dormi-
tory system. Men have lived in bar
racks from time immemorial, but, then,
it has always been admitted that men
are simple things to handle and that the
female of the species is more deadly
than the male. Be that as it may, Uncle
