NORWEGIAN LEADERS
 WORKING FOR LEAGUE

CHRISTIANIA, Norway.-Nor- wegian leaders in science, politics and business have formed a society for the purpose of enrolling Nor way in a League of Nations built upon a democratic base, Professor. F. Nansen, the famous Arctic ex- plorer and scientist, has been elect ed president of the society. In his introductory address, Professor, Nansen said:
 "The dream of fraternity of nations has suddenly come within sight. It is the goal of which one of the worlds greatest statesmen, President Woodrow Wilson, is aim ing. The reason why America is now able to make this Utopian dream a reality is because the na-- tion is young and healthy. America went into the war only to make future wars impossible. It will achieve that end"

CALIFORNIA WILL CONSIDER MANY
 NEW MEASURES

SACRAMENTO, Cal.-A reSolu- tion to ratify the national "dry' amendment, proposed law to make membership in the Industrial Workers of the World organiza- tion unlawful, measures providing for economy in state government and to meet the conditions growing out of the transition of the coun- try from a war to peace basis, will be presented to the California state legislature for consideration at it's forty-third bennal session, which opened on Monday, January sixth.
 Legislation affecting the various departments of state government amendments to existing laws and revision of measures relating to the deposit of public moneys, made necessary by the adoption of con- stitutional amendment at the cleo tion last November, probably will be proposed.
 The session of the legislature will continue for thirty days, when a recess of equal length, provided for by law will be taken to permit the legislators to study the various measures presented. The session will reconvene early in March and continue until the lawmakers have finished their work. A state law, however, limits the length of the entire session to 100 days.
 While leaders of the "dry" forces have claimed a majority in both the assembly and senate for ratifi- cation of the "dry" amendment, some wet leaders have disputed this claim, particularly with regard to the senate. The amendment has been advocated by Governor Will. liam D. Stephens, and it was en- iorsed in the Republican platform on which he was elected.
 Governor Stephens also has ad- vocated drastic measures for deal {! ing with the Industrial Workers of the World.
 The matter of economy probably will be dealt with by the governor through committee which he ap- pointed to make recommendation For the introduction of such econ omies as are possible without pre- judice to public welfare or i'm pairment of present efficiency" These recommendation will deal particularly with departments, bu- reaus and commissions whose pow CTS and duties may develop.
 The state council of defense has been charged with responsibility of shaping legislation relating to the and re-education of. maimed and crippled soldiers, and the industrial readjustment result ing from demobilization.
 Some action may be taken by the legislature to extend Cali settlement and colonization through state aid, and to provide for utilization of California's hy-

PEACE AND BUSINESS

Notwithstanding the fact that thousands of workingmen through out the United States have been thrown out of employment since the signing of the armistice, as the result of the suspension of various of the war industries, and the fur ther fact that thousands of sol diers are being released from the army every week, further compli- eating the labor situation, Bernard M. Baruch, chairman of the war industries board, deprecates the pessiimistc apprehensions of those who foresee serious industrial dislo- cations and labor difficulties attend ant upon the return of American business to a peace basis. In his opinion, recently expressed in Wash ington there is no reason to antici- pate disturbed conditions. On the contrary, he says, he is convinced that for a long and continued pc riod there will be such demand for the products of American industry as will maintain prosperity and in sure employment. For years, he ponts out, industry has been dam med up, and unlimited opportuni- ties lie ahead.
 Labor, he says, is entitled to a greater share in the profits of in- dustry, and it is matter for con graduation that far better under standing exists now between capi-' tai and labor than ever before.
 Regarding reconstruction, MT. Baruch says that business men are taking the matter into their own hands, and are proceeding quietly and steadily with the work, despite the attitude of critics. who point with alarm to the periis of recon struction. Manufacturers, for the moment upset by the dramatic sud denness of the wars close. are find ing themselves rapidly, with the promise of early restoration to nor nal condition. No system, in his opinion, could be proof against temporary Arrangement, but this derangement, he says will not be serious and of short duration.
 Regarding continuation of gov ernment activities in various lines of industry, Baruch is not in sym pathy with the suggestion that the government undertake to go into business in competition with private industry And he does not antici- pate destructive competition on the part of European countries against American industries, due to lower wage scales on the other side of the Atlantic. European labor, he believes, will seek and obtain, high CT wages, and he calls attention to the shrinkage of man power in Europe, due to the, heavy war casualties, as likely to contribute it's part in establishing higher wages. Thus, he points out. foreign pro ducers, as well as those in the United States, face higher costs.

upon the American peace delegation to
obtain a hearing at the peace confer
ence for Ireland and her representa-
tives has been sharply criticized in
tho Senate.
Senator Borah, after he heard that
the President had done nothing, dc
clared that the attitude Of the peace
conference toward Ireland plainly
showed that tho principle OF self,deter
mination cnunciated by Mr.. Wilson
had been plainly sacrificed to the i'm
pcrialistic ambitions of the Europ-
can nations. Hc said that both the
President and the conference had fail
cd to meet the acid test in refusing

ciple to subject peoples dominated by
the Allies.
"But Ireland" he said is just one
instance. The eases of Korea, Egypt
and the Shantung peninsula are 9th
