This Correspondent Wants to Have
a Vote on the Form and Arrange
ment of the Proposed Soldiers and
Sailors Memorial and Suggests that
Work be Started at Once so that
1t May be Completed This Fall.
To TIE Editor Of The Republican.
Regarding the Soldiers and Sailors
memorial to be erected in Oakland,
| think that the entire county should
have an opportunity to decide on the
form, whether it be in the form of a
public library, bust, building with
tablets containing the names and rec
ord of our boys service and a room
for the war relics.
| think it a very good plan to have
an architect draw plans, have them
reproduced in the columns of The
Republican so that everyone can see
them and then let the people vote
and thus decide upon which one they
want, and / would suggest that this
be done as soon as possible as the
erection should by all means begin
soon enough to have it completed by
early fall so that it can be dedicated
to the boys before they become scat
tered
As the people from all parts of the
county will be called upon and expect
ed to help financially, they should
have the opportunity to help decide
upon the form Of the proposed me
mortal.

Determine Differences Be-
tween Capital and Labor.

The nsod for increased production
VIII be brought strongly bsfore the
Industrial Confereneo, which opens
/ hare Monday, II was learned from au-
thoritatfvs sources today.
Economists and business men viii
point out that no economic readtust-
ment can be made on q sound foun-
dati0n unless there q enough pFoduc-
ton to supply all wants. They hold
that since the termination OF hos
| tilities there has been a general let
down, accompanied by decreased out
put and q tendency to eLtravaganee,
bringing about q condition that must
be remedied II the country is to be
restored to q normal condition.
An effort win be made TO determine
tust what are the differences between
capital and labor. Then the confer
ence will set about devising construc-
tive means Of lessening these diff
Eerences. Formation Of boards and
subcommittees to map out definite
Industrial program will follow In all
probability, Il was stated.
President Wilson, II was learned,
homes the conference will be able to
evolve q plan OF genuine cooperation
between capital and labor, making
evident the community OF interest
between the two. which he believes
exists but has not been made evident
in action. He hopes there may de-
velop q recognition OF the right Of
workers to participate directly in any
decision which directly affects their
welfare.
Labor delegates, II was learned,
will oppose profit sharing and stock
buying plans, as they are now in
force in many large manufactures
Samuel Gompers, head Of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor, holds that
they are used by employers to coerce
labor, keep down wages, and prevent

morning at 7.S5 IN a Memphis Gas and

phone company building, on Court ave-
nue.. Nearby windows were shattered,
and four iron lids, Weighing several
hundred pounds each, we're sent hurt
ling into the air from as many man
holes. Damage was estimated al 81, 900.
Workmen sent to repair the damage
were at a loss to account for the ex-
ploslon. They favored the theory that
some person, walking along the street
or the alley, had tossed a lighted match
down a manhole with a grated top,
The eexplosion occurred directly be-
hind the building occupied by the Dun
lap Medicine company. located on North
Third street. at the alley between Madi-
son avenue and Court avenue, Window
panes In this building were shattered or
the second and third floors on the alley
side.
The huge manhols tops, which weigh
between 400 and 500 pounds, were
tossed into the air like straws BY ths
force of the explosion.
Three Of the conduit openings wecs
heated ut the junction OF the two al
legs. A fourth, 400 feet down the alley
which runs parallel TO Madison avenue
suffered the worst damage. The Others
were surrounded by Asphalt paving
which Suffered no damage. But thu
fourth opening, around which granite
block paving was laid. was well ripped
up. The heavy paving stones were
scattered for a distance Of two Zee
from the manhole cover.
No damage WAS done to electric wire

Toxic advices received Thursday an
nounced the ratification of the German
peace treaty ~ Japan, 1t Is clear
from the foregoing the ratification was
by virtue of imperial action. 1t was
not preceded by any action by the par
lament, the constitution Of Japan not
requiring the assent Of the legislative
body.
Previous advices had shown that the
treaty had been examined by the privy
council and that at a meeting on Mon
day last it was approved by the coun-
Gil without reservation and submitted
TO the emperor.
Japan's favorable action on the treaty
