Z Boston, Feb. S5s-lHeavy loss to the
market gardeners of Massachusetts if

vent the spread of the Eureapean corn

ROTARY'S LABOR STAND
Arbitration Attitude Explained at Pic
mic Last Evening.

Arbitration Attitude Explained at Pic
mic Last Evening.
Rotary cannot take the stand of a
neutral in the three cornered fight
between capital, labor, and the citi-
made at the Rotary picnic on the In
dustrial school grounds last evening
by Robert Stone in explaining the
famous Resolution No. 10" passed at
the recent session of International
Rotary at Salt Lake City. The reso-
luton is to be submitted to every
Rotary club in the world for consid-
Grafton.
Apparently Stone supported the
resolution and was in a large meas
ure responsible for its adoption at the
international convention. Explaining
the resolution he said that If adopted
it will place the Rotary clubs of the
world definitely in the position as
advocates of compulsory arbitration.
If capital and labor cannot agree
under the terms of the resolution,
each side would be compelled to sub
NIT to compulsory arbitration. Strike
nor lockout would be permitted be-
cause the sufferers would be the great
mass of the citizenry who were not in
terested enc way or another in the
outcome of the controversy.
Stone said that the adoption of the
resolution by the Rotary clubs would
place that organization solidly behind
a movement for the passage of laws
compelling arbitra ton and forbidding
strikes or lockouts.
The other talks of the evening
were by Ferdinand Funk and Cecil
Howes. Funk gave a humorous re-
cital of some of the lighter amuse-
ments which followed the interna-
tional convention Howes spoke OF
the hard work accomplished by the
convention and of the famous speak
ers who were on the convention pro-
gram. Charles S. Elliott presided al
the picnic.
The feature of the sport program
was an impromptu baseball game be
tween two teams purporting to be di.
vided according to the waistlines Of
the players. 1t was funny how lear
some of the fat ones were and how
| horribly skinny certain members o.
the paunch fraternity became.
The picnic adjourned at O'CLOCK
after standing retreat" with the boyi
at the Industrial school. A drill anc
parade with a formal review by tn,
Rotarians closed the program.
