(Del Ingles.)

En- nm pals lejano viva uaa vez I'M

rcuni6 djnero hastante para coenprar

Un dia, Ell uno dc sus campos, desen,
terr0 ma vasija dc hicrro que cssab&
llcna dc ORC.
--iAh! ique rico scria 81 todo csc
orc fuese mfo!- czclam0
Nadic 10 vic cuando encontr6 cl orc,
" poaia habcrsclo coside 81 hubiera
querido.--Pcro no,--dijo. Mo es mio.
Nunca podre ser rico, pero puedo ser
siemprc honrado.
FL habia pagado un buen prccio por
su grsnja, pcro no creyo q. hubicse CON-
prado cl orc que estaba eli la terra.
Levant6 cl ORC y Sc 10 nevo al mcr-
cader que lie habia vcndido la TERRA,
FL le dijo:
--Hc acui este orc quo cstaba aban-
donado cn la TERRA que yo lie compr6.
Yo 10 descnterre con mi arado csta
maiian2.
--GPor que me 10 trac?-- dijo Ell
mercader.
--Porauc lie pertcncce usted-- di5o
Ell granjero.
mo, no me pertencce. Lc perte-
nece usted, pues yo lie vendi el CAM
po Y todo 10 que contenfa. Ell orc no
es mio, y no cogere NADIA de el.
Pero el granjoro dijo:
-Yo no pague NADIA mas que la tic
rra. FL orc no es mio, sino suyo.
Por largo ratio los dos hombres dis
cutieron, tratando csda uno de hacer
que el otro cogiera cl oro. Ambos eran
igualmente honraaos = ninguno desea-
ba aqucno que cstimaba que no lie
pertenecia.
Sus amigos los rodearon y acorda-
ron que cl granjero cogiera la mitad,
y el mercadcr Ia otra mitad. Pcro clos
no crcyeron que ESQ era 10 que dcbia
hacerse.
Al fin, ell granjero dijo:
-Vayamos consultarlo con el Rey.
Ell dira 10 que hay que haccr.
ST. dijo el mercader.-vayamos
IA consultarselo.
FL Rcy oy6 primcro al granjoro y
despu6s al mercadcr. Es dificil resol-
yer cual dc ustcdes cs cl propictario
del orc, dijo. Pero es facn vcr que
ambos sois muy honrados.
Dcspues les prcgunt6 81 tcnian. hi
jos. Yo tcngo un hijo, dijo el nCrca-
der. Y yo una hija, dijo el granjc-
70.
-Entonces,- dijo el Rey,- yo puc-
do decir 10 quo hay que hacer con- Ell
orc. Ell hijo del mcrcader Sc casara
con la hija del granjero, y el orc SO
ls dara a los j6venes para que pucdan
comprarse un hogar.
NADIA podia complacer al hijo del
mercader tanto como csto; la hija
del granjero qued6 tnuy compiacida
tambien, porque el joven era de buen
aspecto y guapo. Y asi Ell conhicto
estuvo pYonto terlninado, y todo el
mundo qued6 contento. 49,
AQuel afio hubo mas maiz en- los
campos del granjero: mas que nunca,
y cl mcrcadcr vendi6 tantos objotos
cuanto orc pudo necesitar.

Influence in Proceedings, if

Signatories of the treaty of peace
subscribe to the broad theory en-
bodied in article %, by which they
give assurances that they will en-
deavor to secure and maintain fair
and humane conditions of labor for
men and women and children, both in
their own countries and in all the
countries to which their commercial
and industrial relations extend, and
for that purpose will establish and
maintain the necessary international
organization"
The international labor conference.
provided for as an annual event. with
permanent offices of continuing
operation-to be known as the inter
national labor Office and to be located
at the capital of the league of ma
tions|is the organization provided in
the labor section of the peace treaty.
While article % designates the wide
scope for the general interests of the
conferences, each conference is pre-
scribed and confined to consideration
of an agenda prepared in advance.
The agenda prepared for the first in
ternatlonal labor conference in wash
ington was arranged by the peace
conference in Paris and embodied in

Theories on conditions of labor have
been crystaliZed into accepted senti-

to more or less extent among the in
dustrial peoples of Europe. from a
