PEACE LEAGUE
20 Unions Ask Council of
Employers and Workers to
Decide Disputes
PETITION NOW IN
HANDS OF GOMPERS

NEW YORK, oct. 3.-Immedlste orea-
tion Of a league for industrial peace,
with a supreme council similar TO that
created by The League OF Nations, to
which ali industrial labor disputes may
be referred for hearing and decision
and which may be clothed with power
10 enforce its decisions, was recon-
mended in a petition sent yesterday TO
Samuel Gompers. president OF the
American Federation Of Labor, by the
League Of American Federation Mem
bers for Partnership and Industrial
Democracy. The league includes repre-
seniatives Of twenty-nine unions anil
ated with the A. F. Of L.
John +. Pierce and lsadore Epstein,
promoters Of the league, as members
Of committee Of the Slate Federation
pf Labor appointed to investigate the
high cost of living, recently recon-
mended an industrial truce Of six
months. but their report was repudi-
ated by James p. Holland president OF
the state Federation
The plan for the new league proposes
that President Wilson be requested TO
designate organizations OF employers
and workmen which, because Of their
representative character are entitled TO
meet and formulate what may be term
ed a treaty Of peace between the war
ring factions and TO devise a covenant
for the league. which treaty and cove
nant shall. Immediately upon raiihca-
tion by the signatorles. be considered
binding on employers aud employees.
10 is recommended that the confer
ence he called during the forthcoming
International labor convention at Wash
ington. that Immediately after the cSl
an sSmistlce shall be declared IN all
industrial disputes on terms TO be pro-
claimed by President Wilson and that
all strikes and lockouts shall auto
maiically cease.
One OF ilfe most striking proposals Is
that organized labor abandon its policy
of dominating industry through exclu-
sive diciatlon Of working conditions and
wages and Join with capital In estab-
fishing a system OF sliding wage scales
based on a standard cost OF living. to-

DEFENSE COUNCIL
TO BE CONTINUED
TREMENDOUS PROBLEMS RE-
MAIN TO BE CONSIDERED BY
THE SPLENDID JORGANT-
ZATION BORN OF WAR
CONDITIONS.


Under the Council of National De-
Tense in Washington, consisting OF
the Secretaries of War, Navy, Inter
Tor, Agriculture, Commerce and La
Dor, and with Groesvenor B. Clarkson
as Director, there has been built up
under the governors of the forty-eight
state as complete defense system now
consisting in addition to the state
organization of 1000 counties, $1,000
women's divisions, and some 10000
community and municipal units. This
great field machinery has represented
the people Of the United States in
Washington and has carried through
to the smallest community the prob
lens and measures of the national
government during the war.
In Washington the Council Of Ma
tional Defense has created such vital
bodies as the War Industries Board.
the Aircraft Production oBard, the
Commercial Economy Board, acting
in a sense as a great administrative
laboratory; and other similar govern
ment war agencies. The Council OF
National Defense has been content to
build these agencies and turn over to
them the specific problems which come
within their jurisdiction.
It had not originally been the in
tention to continue the state council
of defense system beyond the date of
the signing of the armistice. How
ever, we find many problems that now
require careful neutrality-suspicious. in
which the cooperation of the people
throughout the United States is not
only desirable but absolutely neces-
sary. There is the problem of Amer
termination, the problem of unem-
ployment, the transference of the
SGT ,00, 100000 of war risk insurance
outstanding from war basis to a
peace basis-in short it is no less i'm
perative to meet the problems of re-
adjustment than it was to prepare for
war.
For that reason Mr.. Clarkson, Di-
rector of the Council, at the personal

the campaign is concerned with the
effort to prevent rough handling, mis-
routing or other deviations from cor
rect express methods after the con-
signments leave the hands of shippers
and are turned over to the express
company. At the same time, there
will be closer supervision of express
eemployes in all offices and termi-
nails.
A series of weekly meetings of the
expressmen IN every city will give
the supervising officers an opportun-
ity to impress upon their local forces
the purposes of the drive Local cam
paign committees will be appointed to
keep before their co-workers the
ideals of service and to secure the co.
operation and interests of shippers
by explaining to them how they can,
in their own particular lines, aid in
the improvement of the express ser
vice.
A determined effort will be made
during the campaign TO eradicate what
is known as the mo Mark" evil. From
July l to November 80 of last year,
127,859 shipments, an average of
about 25,500 a month, were turned
