Presidents Letter Urging Industrial
Conference to Compose Differences
Wilson's letter National
public today Secretary Lane fNoN

. II am advised by your chairman
that you have come TO situation
which appears to threaten the lie
OF your conference, and because or
that | am presuming to address
word of very solemn appeal TO you as
Americans. 1t is not for me to assess
the blame for tho present condition.
| do not speak in spirit of criticism
Of any individual or OF sany group
Bat having called this conference,
feel that my temporary lndisposlton
should not bar the way to frank
expression of the seriousness Of tho
position in which this country will
be placed should you adjourn with
out having convinced the American
people that you had exhausted your
resourcefulncss and your patience in
an effort to come to some common
agreement.
cat time when the nations OF
the world are endeavoriug to find IA
way of avoiding international war;
are we to confess that there is no
method to be found for carrying on
industry except in the spirit and
with the very method Of war? Must
suspicion and hatred and force rule
US in civil life? Are our industrial
leaders and our industrial workers to
live together without faith in each
other, constantly struggling for ad-
vantage over each other, doing
naught but what is compelled?
Would Invite Disaster
"My friends, this would be an in
tolerable outlook, prospect un-
worthy Of the large things done by
this people in the mastering Of this
continent; indeed, it would be an in
vitation to national disaster. From
such possibility my mind turns
away, for my confidence is abiding
that in this land we have learned
how to accept the general Judgment
upon matters that affect the public
veal. And this is the very heart and
soul of democracy.

properly considered.
"The matter Of collective bargaining
can only be. properly considered after
there has been established back
ground which displays the conditions
throughout this country with which
we are to deal. AS the argument in
this conference has developed, it has
been perfectly clear that the sum and

this conference is asked to take action
which will force. If possible, the hun
dreds of thousands of employers in
industries throughout this country to
recognize the labor unions whether
they will or will not, and to force their
organizations to deal with the labor
unions against their will.

"Now they produce this resolution,
which as matter of words does not
go as far as that, but words DO not
count. 1t is the thought behind the
words; and if this resolution should be

example, it would go out to the world
as concession on the part of the en-
ploycrs' group that they recognize the
necessity of the unionization of all The
industrial establishments in the coun-
try, and the kind Of collective bargain
ing that the labor unions insist upon
as distinguished from other kinds"
A battery Of speakers from among
the public group took the floor for the
resolution. These included Charles
Edward Russell, Louis Titus. A. A. Ian
don and H. B. Endicott. All declared
their belief that the resolution was
plainly worded. that it contained no
hidden meaning and that it should be
adopted. I'VE employers have always
demanded the right, we have always
exercised the right, to be represented

The vote on the resolution, by groups,
was two to one for adoption. The group
voting system requires unanimous sup

Since the advent Of prohibition
Rye has become a joke. Jealous
Inhabitants of the nearby and rival
village of Port Chester VIII tell you
that it didn't happen a. recently as
that, but they are only adding
fame to the feud that threatens to
burst into warfare any moment.
Only day or so after the nation
went dry, Postmaster Michael DAILY
handed Village Clerk William Sci
zer letter from some person who
desired to be informed whether.
now that Rye had been banishea
from the bars, if it were also to
be removed from the map.
Village Clerk Seller read the let
ter and laughed, little knowing the
storm that this single missive pre-
saged. The next day there were
three letters suggesting substitute
names for Rye.
One of these was all the way
from Frankfort, Ky, and was
signed by one Kenner Taylor.

In Palestine

Even in Palestine strong drink
is made in the home Among sew
eral varieties one called "mastic"
is the most popular 1t is made Of
the refuse from the wine presses
and when fermented to full degree
is a very intoxicating potion. In
its neighboring country, Egypt, is
the famous drink called "horaky." :"
1t is made Of ripe dates which have
been placed in vessel containing
water and allowed to fermcnt fol
several weeks, after which it is dis
titled like whiskey The crude stills
used in some Of the Egyptian homes
may some day be duplicated in
more efficient form in our own
American families.
The Turkish drink "raki" con-
tains larger percentage Of alcohol
than brandy and is made in great
quantities by the Turkish people.
Over in Serbia .slivovitsa' is par
taken Of freely it is distilled from
kind Of fermented plum and is
offered FOR sale by all the farmers
1t is very strong when properly
aged. Passing over next door into
Dalmatia, "meud," made by fer
menting honey and water, is the
favorite drink. Though pleasant
to the taste it is very Intoxicating.
Going back to Armenia we find
"toot,' which is distilled rom fer
mentation of ripe mtAborrics and
water. 1t is one Of the strongest
Of liquors and one tcaspoonful will

fiery draught 1t often exceeds
$50 proof, and pure alcohol being
200 goes to show how much alcohol
this concoction contains. 1t ought
70 be easy for the Armenians to get
on "little toot' with such a
strong liquor to do it. Another very
strong Armenian drink is known as
"harpoos' and is made from water
melon, while q 100 proof liquor
called "duz,' which is stronger than
most Of our whiskica, is drunk by
women and children. They call
this very mild and, strange to say,
you seldom sec a native Armenian
drunk, although they consume great
quantities Of strong d.ink.
After all, is America coming to
the point where each individual
family will proceed to make it's own
brew, after the manner Of people
whom we arc sometimes prone to
/ call primcval, or even savage in
their tastes? Strict prohibition may
force it.

Caroline Islands drink called
"karuoruo' is all the go. 1t is made
from a species Of palm and, being
soured during fermentation, is an
exceedingly strong liquor which
puts You under the table in double
time if taken too freely.
The fan palm Of Madagascar
furnishes the inhabitants with a
highly Intoxicating deiHl. It is
called "satrana' and j. made from
the seed Of the fan palm in great
quantities. It's big disadvantage is
its poor keeping qualities, 50 the
natives have to fiji in between sea-
sons with sugar caac drink while
waiting for the seeds to ripen

Dear Sir: In response to your tcle-
phonic request of July ID, the fol
lowing data on the alcoholic content
Of tho beverages mentioned are
given. A list Of references is also
appended Reference to this list is
made by number under the headings
given below. These beverages as
made in the homo vary according to
the formula used. IT is generally
true that the formulas in the home
are quite variable, so that the alco-
holic content given must necessarily
be approximate.
Hard cider: The alcoholic content
Of the undiluted. fermented Juice
of cider apples may run as high as

From The London Daily Express

elderberry juice only about 3 per
cent alcohol by volume would be
formed (8). This content is in
creased by fermenting added sugar
and by the addition Of alcohol. An
approximation of the alcohol con-
tent Of most elderberry wines would
be from 7 to 20 per cent by volume.
Blackberry cordial: AS made in
the home this product may be fer
mented or may depend entirely on
added alcohol, according to the for
mula used The product as made by
the formula given in the National
Formulary, 1916, page Z, is recog-
nized as the official formula (1O).
This formula would yield a beverage
with an alcohol content varying from
90 to 80 per cent by volume. If,
however, the alcohol content is de
pendent on the fermentation Of the
natural juice of the blackberry the
alcohol content would be 3 to $ per
cent by volume. This is usually aug
mented by fermentation Of added
sugar or straight addition Of alco-
hol in some form.
AS general information, it may
be stated that sugar will produce,
when completely fermented, ap-
proximately one-half of its weight
Of alcohol. BY complete fermenta-
tion Of sugar only about Is per
cent by volume Of alcohol can be
produced. In order, therefore, to
make beverage containing more
than 16 per cent by volume of al
cohol it is necessary to add alcohol
usually in the form Of a distillate
The production of alcohol from
natural fruit is limited by the sugar
content Of the juice of the fruit,
which may be augmented first by
the addition Of sugar and, secondly,
the addition Of alcohol.
