SCOTLAND'S RIGHTS
(Exchange.)

Among the subject peoples that have asked for a hearing before the senate for elgn relations committee, in opposition to the Versailles treaty, appear the Scotch or that portion of them represented by the Scottish national committee. whose repre- sentative, George J. Bruce, has reached America barely in time to seek an appoint ment with Senator Lodge. That any sub stantial number of Scots demand self-deter- will surprise Americans, but Mr.. Bruce wires the senator:
 The Scottish national committee,
 consisting of the leaders of Organiza-
 tons representing a majority of the
 constituents of Scotland. prepared a national memorial and protest against
 Scotland being excluded from the
 peace and league of nations conference. This was presented to Clemenceau and
 members of the conference and was
 extensively and favorably noticed by the European press. The memorial hay ing been ignored at Paris, we respect fully ask your committee to hear our plea for Scotland's right to self-deter- mination.
 Mr. Bruce has applied at the right place for Scotland's s rights. Mr.. Lodges could not be so stonv-hearted as to refuse to grant them to her., F.

STRIKES OBSOLETE

The assertion of President Butler of Columbia University that strikes are ob- solete and should be rclcgated to the civil izations garbage heap has a great deal in it that will appeal to the average man. In these days of highly organized labor almost any strike eventually involves industries connected with the life of the country and entails an economic loss that must be borne by the people as whole
 This fact was recognized by the govern ment during the war which created the war labor board, theoretically, to maintain the which really insisted on the right of col lective bargaining, got wages raised, hours shortened, and conditions improved. By it's power to compel arbitration 1t made both capital and labor come off their high horses and talk business sense. Of course it was backed by the nations patriotic emo tion, but the scheme worked.
 With the armistce in effect this board went out of existence. Nothing has been created to take its place, and lacking a strong hand both capital and labor are again riding their high horses. Neither group Is free from responsibility in the present conditions of unrest that prevail over the country. The steel operators re fusing to recognize the right of labor to collective bargaining, their employees went out on strike. If such walkout had been threatened during the war the government would undoubtedly have forced an arbitra- tion of the points in dispute. If it had been shown that a sufficient number of the men were unionized to warrant it the govern ment would probably have forced a recog Conditions would have been subject to off cial scrutiny and a ruling would have been made which the moral force of the cOmmlln- ity would have compelled both workers and operator to accept.
 For the welfare of organized society the necessity for maintained production is not less imperative today that during the war. A balance wheel is needed to main tain an equalization between labor and cap ital until they regard one another with less distrust. The industrial conference now meeting in Washington may provide for one; that is the purpose for which it was called. But the use of the strike as an industrial weapon is as dangerous to the nation in peace as when at war. Some means of eliminating 1t must be adopted that will at the same time not remove from the workers guarantee that their just de mands will be recognized and granted

WHY EXCLUDE ALASKA?

Despite the avowed intention of the department of interior to see that Alaska gets the benefit of legislation being enacted in Washington to relieve conditions in the states, there seems to be a disposition on the part of the national lawmaking body to exclude this territory from practically every but of remedial legislation. This IS especially true where it concerns the na- tion's so-called conservation policy.
 The exclusion of Alaska however, is not new thing; it has been going on for years. Remedial laws are enacted to aid in the development of the natural resources of the several states, already in a state of partial development, but they generally specifically exclude Alaska. If these laws will increase the ratio of development in natural sources of wealth already being worked they will or would if permitted undoubtedly assist in opening up the re sources of a country that is now looked up

LEADYILLE HAS QUIT GAMBLING
 FOR ALL TIME,

LEADVILLE, Colo. (P) That the gambling days of Leadville are a thing of the past, at least insofar as the legal phases of w0oing of the goddess of chance are concerned, was demonstrated here recently when gambling paraphernalia, consisting principally of roulette wheels and valued COnSeryatiVely at $7,000, was carted to the city dumping grounds by deputy sheriffs and there burned. The destruction of the big pile of gambling apparatus came about as the result of court order issued following the spectacular raid con ducted here on August 16.
 One roulette wheel destroyed by, the officers was valued at about $250O. It was originally a single table but had been converted into a double one. The numbers on the original table were inlaid with moth CT of pearl, ebony irOnwood ma hogany, lockwood and rosewood. The wheel was made of mahogany and ebony and all points and metal parts of solid silver The ball used on this wheel was solid ivory. The addition consisted of an ordinary cheaply-constructed table with the numerals painted on heavy oil-cloth. An interesting feature In connection with this particular layout was that 1t could be controlled by the house. The control was of the double type that Is, it could be manipulated either by the croupier or operator or by someone located in an adjacent room. Whether this feature was ever used could not be determined.
 Other articles destroyed in the fire included card tables, faro tables, playing cards, poker chips and faro boxes.

Many are the way of advertising, but an unwise method, as it turned out was dis covered by the manager of a Kansas dry goods store who arranged for a motion pie ture to be secretly taken of lady making purchase, and then went on with his plan for attracting other customers by having the scene displayed on the screen of a To- cal motion picture theatre Whether the lady saw it or interested friends told her is she disliked the idea of appear ing in public as an actress. What made the affair even less pleasant was the impress sion created that she had been paid to act as customer. So she sued the store. and the supreme court of Kansas handed down a verdict against the defendant on the ground that taking and using the motion picture was violation of the plaintiffs s right of privacy. The case establishes a good precedent, and supports the whole some truth that there are persons who dis like pubhcity-Ex.

One of the most Interesting construction jobs ever under taken for the city is that of the sewage tank, under process at the foot of Bostwick avenue.
 This tank, more than 30 feet deep, and ninety feet in diameter, is built up ring by ring, above ground, and sunk by digging away the earth from the center, so that the great weight of the structure causes 1t to force out the earth directly underneath, its edge and sink to place.
 The work is being done by the Eastern Engineering Co.,, with the employment of sim pie, but efficient machinery.
 The walls of the concrete ring are five feet thick. The ring is constructed about it's entire diameter, 12 feet at one operation.
 The pictures show the work. No. 1 picture shows a segment of the bottom ring, which is bevelled at the bottom, to fla cilitate the passage of the structure into the earth. The almost knife edge, cuts away the ground about 1t. This bevel also makes a tie for the 16 foot bottom of concrete which will be put in after the ring is com pleted.
 Picture No. 2 shows the steel rods, used to brace the concrete, and a segment of the section frame work, of lumber, which retains the concrete until it is dry.
 Picture No. 8 shows the wooden frame, or mould of one of the twelve foot portions of the tank, which has been filled nearly to the top with concrete The ends of the steel rods are seen above the
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-04-29

When one entire section of the tank ring is completed, the frame work is removed, the section is sunk to its place. Then the section mould is erected and used again.
 By this system concrete is put in at 20 cents a yard for labor charges. Under strictly manual methods the cost might amount to S7 yard,
 The soil eXcavated from the tank is deposited in the imme- diate neighborhood, and will

Nsw York, April 29.---George Bern lleiner, 25, who since he came of age has attracted much newspaper men tion by his desperate attempts to rid himself of part of the several millions said to have been left him by his fa- ther, Max F.
