BRITISH COMMONS OPENS.

Great Britain, we imagine, after sancing over her legislative schedule Eoposed for the House of Commons #hich opens today, is facing many kedicaments which follow those in shich this country finds itself. Mat sFs of government expenditure will # thoroughly probed, it is promised bd the capital labor controversy is y no means at a minimum there. EX Fdding the Home Rule bill, which ormises the usual fireworks, the Par &hment members will argue points 8hich will behoove us to. watch in the bpe of gaining from the example of lr more aged brother nation. Not lat 1t is any more capable of settling bon final solutions, but the example #ill be there and will furnish us with |e thought of other minds upon the bjects.
 One of the points on the program, a lint industrial council of capital and &bor with extensive powers, has al- &ady been instituted here in our Inference now in session, though ere is lacking the actual government cking in our instance than there III be in England. The "extenslVe wers" is not a part of our session &aich is planned as nothing but gef- gether meeting without the power enact laws. It has that of making oposals though the privilege bids Er to go neglected by the conference whole. Whether England, with e authority to act upon, or make, Eal points will get further than we We or not is a subject that is open discussion. Attempts may be made
 either faction. as represented III .rliament to strictly bind one or the her division of society. Then we Av watch the furore that is liable to

 necessarily mean that public opin here will be swayed by the deci ms of the British, however.
 The British have been contesting 01,1o in hd for years, they are liable to open controversy which will be just as litless if they attempt to regulate relations of capital and labor by rliamentary acts. We cannot help feel this, despite the hope that ne equitable settlement of the para punt issue of the world be attained, nowhere.
 Another proposition which the gov hment proposes to discuss and which relative to labor is the establish Int of a minimum wage for manual rkers and a recognized maximum
 forty eight hours work per week. Eher of these admit little argument. e forty eight hour week is general
 recognized in this country and a Rnimum wage for manual labor, we Ink, will be impossible to set, unless Es very low to cover the wages of

Burn Police Station

Youngstown, o., Oct. 27.-An at
tempt, believed to have been by
strike sympathizers, was made late
last night to burn down the police
substation in HaZleton, this city. An
upper room in the building was dis
covered burning with oil-soaked
waste scattered about. A neighbor
told the police he had heard men
in the yard talking about waste
and saying it was time to hurry.
Two additional blast furnaces were
operating this morning, one at the
Ohio works and one at the sheet
and tube plant.
More open hearths were put in
. commission to-day and several ad-
ditional strikers are said to have
returned to work. At a political
meeting in Brier Hill last night, the
strikers demanded that Mayor Cra-
yer remove the police from that sec
ton and let them keep order. Else
where threats have been made
against members of the American
Legion who are policing the city and
the ex-soldiers are asking the right

Cabinet to Call New
Industrial Conference
With No Distinct Groups

Washington, Oct. 27.-Another con-
ference to consider the industrial sit
uation is to be called by President
Wilson in accordance with the recon-
mendctions continued in the report
submitted to the President by the
public group of the Industrial Confer
ence which ended Friday. The sec
oEd conference was made certain by
the action of the Presidents Cabinet
in unanimously recommending to the
President that the call be issued.
The following statement was auth
orized:
Responsive to the recommendation
made by the public group of the In
dustrial Conference, the Cabinet con-
sidered the question of the continu-
ance of efforts taken by the Confer
erce, and it was unanimously agreed
that a new conference should be called
representing the body of the public
and not divided into groups. This
body will consist of approximately
Is of the most prominent Americans.
Names now being considered by the
Cabinet will be submitted to the Pres
ident
The decision to confine the men,
hership of the new conference to as
few as 15 is a distinct step in the
direction of harmony and progress.
Iii the Original conference there were
three groups, one each representing
industry, labor. and the public. Each
group voted as a unit, the decision
as to how its vote should be cast be-
ing determined by a majority of each
group. In the new conference there
will be no direct distinction between
the various interests represented, and
1t is hoped that this will induce the
members of the new conference to act
as individuals, with each free to ex-
press views to the full conference
without restraint imposed by the sys-
tenn of unit voting.
The Cabinets decision, taken in
connection with other developments
concerning the industrial situation.
indicates that the Government has de-
termined to use every means within
it's power to prevent widespread dis
tress and industrial chaos.
