Principles Of Importance.
Sunday Rest Urged.

Fifth. The adoption Of a weekly
rest of at least twenty-four hours
which should include Sunday when
ever practicable.
Sixth. The abolition of child labor
and the imposition Of such limitations
on the labor Of young persons as shall
permit the continuation of their edu-
cation and assure their proper physical
development.
Seventh. The principle that men
and women should receive equal re-
muneration for work of equal value.
Eighth. The standard set by law
in each country with respect to the
conditions of labor should have due
regard to the equitable economic treat
ment of all workers lawfully resident
therein.
ninth. Each state should make pro-
vision for a system Of inspection, in
which women should take part in or
der to insure the enforcement of the
laws and regulations for the protec-
ton Of the employed.
without claiming that these meth
DDS and principles are either complete
or final the high contracting parties
are of the opinion that they are well
fitted to guide the policy of the league
of nations and that If adopted by the
Industrial communities who are men,
bers of the league and safeguarded In
practice by an adequate system OF
such inspection. they will confer last
ing benefits upon the wage-earners Of

The nine clauses proposed by the
commission of international labor
legislation for insertion in the peace
treaty as adopted by the peace con-
ference in plenary session at Paris
yesterday were made public here to-
day by the State Department.
Among the principles incorporated

and women and workmen'sx right OF
association for all lawful ptrposes
Text Of Clauses.
The text of the clauses as adopted
follows:
'"rhe high contracting parties, rec
ognfzing that the wellbeing, physical,
moral and intellectual. Of Industrial
wage earners is of supreme inter-
national, Importance, have framed a
permanent machinery associated with
that of the league Of nations to further
this great end ~
Theys recognize that differences Of
climate, habits and customs, Of eco

conditions of labor difficult of imme-
diate attainment. But holding, as they

merely as an article of commerce, they
think that there are methods and
principles for the ratification of labor
conditions which all Industrial COM
munities should endeavor to apply so
far as their special circumstances will
permit.
Principles Of Importance.
Among these methods and princi-
pies the following seem to the high
contracting parties to be OF special
and urgent Importance:
First. The guiding principle above
enunciated that labor should not be
regarded merely as commodity or
article of commerce.
second. The right of association
for all lawful purposes by the en-
ployed as well as by the employers.
Third. The payment to the employ
ed of wage adequate to maintain a
reasonable standard of life as this is
understood in their time and country.
Fourth. The adoption of an eight

week as the standard to be aimed at

FEARS STRIKESMA
Be EDEATHOF NATION

NEW YORK. Oct. 14.-Co-operation
by labor in the management Of in
dustry and profit sharing we're ad-
vocated as means OF preventing the
American form OF government from
committing suicide by Nicholas Mur-
ray Butler. president OF Columbia
University, in an address tonight on
The Real Labor Problem" before the
Institute OF Arts and Sciences OF the
university.
He stated the problem, as this:
Must the American form OF govern
ment commit suicide in order to give
to industry better and more satisfac-
tory organization
The question, he added, answered
itself, for ''if the American form OF
government commits suicide il will
make no difference to any one
whether industry Is better organized
or not. Chaos will have come again.
Referring TO the steel strike, Mr..
Butler said: The ultimatums OF Nh
Fitzpatrick and Mr.. Foster we're a
well-planned attack on the principles
upon which the American people
have rested their government, their
civilization and their life. The war
mat mas peeu organized Dy M ElIa-
patrick and Mr.. Foster and the SINH
lar wars that were organized in Great
Britain By Mr.. Smi4lie and Mr.. Thomas
are many times more dangerous than
the Austrian ultimatum to Serb sOF
the German invasion Of Belgium.
According TO Mr.. Butler the doc
trine Is being taught that the State
has no claim upon a citizens loyalty
superior TO claims Of other organiza-
tious.
This doctrine, which. Il is asserted,
is now being taught in American uni
veFsities and even Ia American law
schools" he said, "is given several
high-8ouuding names, but Il is cor
rectly and bluntly described as the
gospel Of anarchy and disorder, as
well as Of the complete destruction Of
everything that mankind has accom-
pIished during the past 5000 years.

White Races to Vanish
Unless Race Suicide Is
Checked, Says Haggad

LONDON, Oct. 14.-Unless race
suicide is checked among them,
the white western races will be
submerged, within the next two
centuries. beneath a great new
influx from the teeming myriads
Of the east. Sir II. Rider Haggard
told the national birth rate COM
mittee. He dwelt on the dangers
OF artihcially keeping down
births, which is widespread in
every western nation. he said, ez-
cept perhaps Russia and Ger
many.
Sir Rider doubted the effective
ness Of appealing to the con-
science Of the people to stop
this race suicide. but thought that
the state might stamp out dis
eases which were seriously af-
fecting the race, and also sub
sidize motherhood. And as a last
desperate resort, the state he
urged, could directly or indirectly
- bring up all children. even hold
ing out a kindly hand to those
not born in wedlock.
