Petrarch and Laura.

Petrarch'S romance with Laura Is
one of the curiosities of literature.
He first saw her on Good Friday, April
6, 1927. Whether or not his devotion
to her, which inspired all his love
poetry and set standard for ages to
come, was inspired by any passion Of
the heart is firmly disputed. In fact
many believe that Petrarch and Laura
never met. That she appeared to him,
however, as the perfect woman no one
can deny after reading his impassion-
ed lines.-Christian Science Monitor.

IA the Same, time, we intend to

Mr.. Williams managers merely saw
that they are satisfied, and that they
want only a fair election.
So far as the appointments have been
checked up, the Citizens League COM
mittee has found no ward in which It
has no representation at all. In prac-
tically all Of them they have at least
one Judge, and one clerk, and in pos
sibly a half Of them they have the as
sistant registrar.
Out of a list Of a women suggested
as clerks or assistant registrars, by the
Citizens league, 33 were appointed. No
woman was named as a judge. Few II
any women are named for the Williams

Not Well Handled.

The fact of the matter Is that labor
didn't handle itself at all well in the
conference, Insisting upon action on
the steel strike before anything else,
insisting on a final vote en- collective
bargaining without getting a record Of
the views of the employers on any othe"
subject, insisting on its own phraseology
on collective bargaining and refusing
the fair statements on that subject pre-
pared by the public group, there is no
question that many members of the
latter group, otherwise disposed to be
friendly to labor, were disappointed by
the tactics or strategy of the Gompers
group. But even Mr.. Gompers, did not
have harmony inside his group. He no
doubt wanted to stay on but some Of his
followers insisted that such a step would
be futile.
Yet while technically labor Is out of
the conference, actually it is not. In
formal hearings or meetings can be held
wherein the point of view Of labor can
be heard or expressed and the final
draft of the principles that both APP
ital and labor should in the Judgment
of the public group accept will yet be
submitted to both. ,s E,1

r~econciled the one to the other. The
group system OF voting, whereby unan-
nous agreement OF all three groups IN
conference-capital, labor and the pub
lic-was necessary to give any action
of the conference validity, was doomed
to failure from the moment that votes
were insisted upon for separate propo-
sitions and the conference mistakenly
declined to wait until a complete set
of principles was before them so that
the relation of the one to the other could
be discerned by capital and labor alike.
As DR.. Charles W. Eliot, of Harvard,
said in a speech after the labor group
withdrew. the majority Of the men in
the conference that is counting those
inside the employers group who &C
tually approved labor's declaration on
collective bargaining, would have been
uals in favor of the principle that caused
labor to bolt.
OF course labor was impatient. 1t
could be seen in the eyes and faces Of
the labor members from the moment
the conference started. They were IN
a belligerent frame of mind. They ar
gued in defense Of that attitude that
they had endured many wrongs and
had again and again been asked to post
pone their strikes without any further
remedy than more talk, The employ
ers were more patient, more deliberate,
more collected. but none the less stead
fast in their view. But they were CIV
ing ground and everybody who attend
ed the conference knew that inside the
employers group where farmers, in
vestment bankers, corporation lawyers,
representatives of chambers of com
merce, and others connected with big
business were gathered, an interesting
metamorphosis of opinion was on, The
more progressive thinking business men
were converting slowly the conserva-
tive slow-turning individuals who were
clinging desperately to principles OF by
gone days.
The employers want to go on, Chair
man Lane wants the conference to con
tinue. And, irrespective Of whether the
procedure or form of meeting is
changed, the discussion will go on. For
the influence and impulse Of the presi-
dent and the government itself is be
hind that wish. .
A coal strike is impending. A steel
strike drags on. The railroad brother
hoods renew their demands. The Plumb
plan stands in the background as an
alternative in the minds of the rail-
road men just as more strikes and more
industrial warfare appeal to the labor
leaders as their only mean of bringing
capital TO terms. Physical force as a
last resort is the program of labor and
only by moral pressure can such a puT-
pose be defeated.
