EQUAL FOOTING

Permanent Peace For World Can

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-A"Permaneni
peace cannot be assured until the
nations Of the world are placed on
an equal footing as far as LABOR is
concerned" said G. S. Beeby. minis
ter of labor for New South Wales,
today, previous to his departure for
England to continue his tnvestiga-
ton Of conditions
He has been in the United States
three months, visiting San Francisco
Portland, Ore, Denver, Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh and other centers.
Explaining the system in opera1
ton in Australia he said he believed
1t could be made applicable here, as
we'll as in European nations, by
building UP system that will create
better understanding between ca2i-
tai and labor.
The recognition of the funda-
mentals of the eight-hour day, right
to organize, the settlement OF indus
trial disputes by conference and ne
sotiation instead of litigation, he adj
yocates as essentials in laying the
foundation of stable labor conditions.
"The splendid organizations you
have had during the war to control
the situation are now virtually dls-
integrated and the industrial condi-
tons are more or less chaotic" said
Beeby. The, adoption of the Aus
tralian system to the United States,
he believes, will remedy this condi-
ton.
The Australian laws. as effective
or proposed, provide for:
Federal regulation of factory and
shop.
Industrial safety.
Workmen's compensation and &C,
cident and social insurance.
A method of fixing the basic living
wage.
Control of child labor.
Apprenticeship and vocational
training.
Prescribing of the standard work,
/ ing day.
These laws control all other mat
tiers directly affecting employers and
workmen's relations.
The arbitration boards, he said
consist of an equal number OF repre-
sentatives from both sides, with in

MEXICANS AT
FORT MADISON
They Have Partly Given UP Going
Armed and the Winter is Driv-
ing Many Of Them
Rack Home

An important and striking feature
of Fort Madison is its large Mexi-
can colony which makes a consider
able part of its population especial
ly to the police.
1t is being greatly lessened now by
the annual migration back home of
many of the Mexicans who can not
stand even the balmy weather of a
winter like this one. Every winter,
the most of them go to Mexico where
they are rich with what they have
saved from their earnings as labor
ers for the Santa Fe railroad Large
excursions of them have been going
south all this fall and winter.
One of the Mexicans who wandered
down to Keokuk to fill out his draft
QUESTIONABLE, when asked by Keo-
kuk lawyer what branch of the army
he preferred, replied: The Santa
Fee"
The Mexicans are also giving up
to considerable extent the wearing
of an arsenal on their persons. The
sale of firearms and dirks to them
was stopped in Fort Madison, and
then they bought large quantities of
weapons from a Chicago mail order
house But the police, now report that
the Mexicans in the streets armed
with bowie knives and revolvers is
much less than formerly. The shoot
ing up of the houses of some quiet

rates imposed by Postmaster General
Burleson after he grabbed the tele-
phone lines of the Bell company.
Also, when Iowa people talk among
themselves, they must pay the much
higher long distance rates.
But Missouri people, like Illinois
people, can talk among themselves
at the old, lower rates.
The Missouri pubic service com

WANTS CIRCLE
ON BALLOT
Bill introduced In Legislature &c
Enable Men to Vote Straight
Ticket With the Old
Style Cross.

DIES MONIES, la. Jan. 24.-To en-
able voters to signify their prefer
ences between candidates for the
offices of president and vice presi-
dent of the United States, by requir-
ing the names of such candidates to
be placed on the ballots is one OF the
provisions OF a bill which Senator
Glenn F. Kimba of Potawatamie
county, introduced in the senate.
In using such ballots, voters would
check the names of their favorite
candidates; but. in the counting.
their votes would be accredited to
the appropriate electors, rather than
to the candidate direct.
Another provision of the bill is
the restoration of the circle" as a
means of marking ballots, with the
proviso that circle, placed at the
head of column of candidates, shall
be considered as vote for every
