Of the Slater law, which require COM
pulsory training of all boys in New
York State within the age limits.
The law applies to employed boys
as we'll as those attending school. In
the entire state almost 100000 bows
will go under training this fall. In the
New York zone, which extends as far
north as Peekskill, there will be 1880
cadets, and over these Major J. Wesley
Lyon will oficiate. Major Dayton's
sector, or the Long Island zone, takes
in Brooklyn and will summon 5O,574
boys into the corps of cadets.
Each week each boy is to receive
ninety minutes of training. While
there will be nothing hard and fast
about this regimen, the programme as
it is now contemplated is as follows:
Ten minutes to fall in and answer
roll call, or, if military usage is OBJ
jected to, ten minutes for organizing
and recording work.
Then there will be thirty minutes
for military instruction. which will in
clude the handling of arms DISCIPLE
nary exercises will be practised and
close order drill used. The companies
will be drilled in skirmish order, taught
the use Of signals and drilled in trans
hitting information by field methods.
Thirty minutes Will be devoted to
physical training. This will consist of
settlng-up exercises for carriage, post
ure and soldierly bearing, and mass
games for discipline and teamwork.
In the development of athletics the OBJ
ject Will be to convey the create st
physical good to the greater number,
rather than the coaching Of few of
the best athletes--an idea that is rap
idly expanding in collegiate circles at
this time.
There will be twenty minutes for
talks and theoretical instruction in
personal hygiene, sanitation and first
aid, character and habit training, Gus
toms of military service and the obli-
cations of citizenship. Scouting. camp
ing and nature study are to be an
cluded in the programmes. Boys will
be permitted to substitute vocational
training in part for the required mill
tary drill. In the matter of employed
boys the Military Training Commission
will arrange for courses in the evening
high schools and the night trade
schools conducted by the Board Of Edu-
cation

Perhaps the eight-ltoetr day qci1l

from Russia, aViU toss her stained
kerchief into the ring and dare

Those are the major headings I'M
der which a much more numerous
list of issues will arise.
The outlook must be considered in
the light of the known. 1t is known
that the labor group--that set-faced
group at the extreme left-will put
the quick veto on anything that
seeks to abrogate the right to strike.
1t will resent imputations that labor
is restricting output. 1t will insist
upon collective bargaining as the
only just and proper method Of deal
ing between employers and en-
ployes. 1t will swing hard at the
cost Of living, and it has long since
given its opinion as to who is to
blame for that well known NANTES
tation.
On the extreme right is group of
men representing employers. Some
OF these men have the most firm con-
victions against trade unionism. In

ing in which it meets is dedicated
to peace. Amity among men is re-
f1ected from every wall. The mes
sage of peace and good will has
come from speakers who hold high
place in the nations life. The very
fact that the delegates entered the
hall was sign for all of their ear,
nest desire for peace. He who wished
not peace could not have entered.
But Secretary of Labor Wilson
pointed to peace Of justice, and
that it must be. To put the case in
the concrete form in which it must
be faced when those now here have
gone their ways, it is this:
Some way must be found to avoid
industrial disputes by giving justice
without compelling those who seek
justice TO fight for it.
For there Will be industrial dis
putes. That is what it s all about.
And here are industrial kings
farmers, labor men, bankers, trans
portation men, lawyers and Social
lists, to sit down together and bring
out Of their combined wisdom some
potion that will bring surceasc to

1t took courage for any man to
come and sit in on this big job. Men
of wisdom go not lightly to such
tasks as this.
But here they are-and here's
their job-and the country waits
without.

that day we shall see how goes
what they do here to-day.

nATCHING up the industrial
fractures and mending the
IL industrial ills of nation Of
some ITO millions of people
is no light afternoons job to be un-
dertaken in a spirit of levity and
lightsomeness.
Not by any manner Of means.
Give ear for a moment to the woes
of nations of lesser numbers, and to
the tale of what came when physi-
clans of social ills tried their learned
hands in the art of healing. 1t is a
story not calculated to put fizz in
the optimism of the fifty-seven men
and women gathered here for SINH
lar undertaking.
Last spring, in February, to be
exact, England faced what many
good judges thought might we'll be
the parting of the ways which lead
either to sanity and soundness or to
the social madhouse. In those dark
some days | was in England, and
having gone about bit and listened
much and seen what might be seen,
l give my word that the diagnosis
of darkness was not overdrawn.
But, be that as it may, the Prime
Minister bethought himself of the
idea of an industrial conference, IN
which should sit representatives Of
labor, of employers and of govern
nent.
Much ado there was about this
industrial congress. 1t was to doc
tor up what might be wrong and
perchance 1t was to blossom into a
little sister of Parliament. This is
story Of to-day and not of yester-
day, and there is no purpose to I'M
cover corpses. But the industrial
conference was held in London and
there was much learned talk. There
was goodly supply of harmony in
the midst of which all kinds of lions
and lambs sat down together and
worked out devices for the main
tenance of social and industrial bal
ance. Some. most excellent prin.
ciples were subscribed to by all
chose present.
Now, In the face of all this-or on
the heels of itvEngland has Just
had one of the most serious strikes
IN its history, that same being the
railway strike, which paralyzed the
country's traffic for ten days.
Canada, beset a bit later with
troubles of her own, took pattern
after the mother country and sum-
moned an industrial conference to
ease the woes of the multitude.
But Canada had its Winnipeg Just
the same-and Winnipeg was an
1lfness of some magnitude and seri-
BUSINESS.
Our Problem
Here in Washington an industrial
conferen is gathered. It is not
quite replica Of the English and
Canadian conferences. Where those
conferences gave representation to
government, this conference gives
representation to the public. While
those conferences were linked to the

UnGxing the Fixed

If there is to be success in this
conference some fixed opinions have
got to be untixcd.
But there are benefits to come
from this conference, no matter what
may be the larger result. Men are
here working and talking together.
That never happens without some
good result. 1t is good for men to
know each other more intimately.
The man you call Bill instead of
"Mr." isn't the man you do to the
death.

ence every day attended by a sec

If They Fail

What will the country think if
they fail? Will it conclude that
the doctors we're after all not up
to their regulations, or will it blame
the problem and let despair grip
their hearts?
The conferrees gathered in the
stately and beautiful Pan-American
Union Building have got to give to
this thing their best effort, if for
no other reason than that the hope
of the nation is centred in their eff
fort.
Contemplate some Of the issues
that will be placed before this con-
ference for their verdict. Contem-
plate them in the light of the knowl-
edge that upon all Of them there are
men here whose convictions have
been firmly fixed long since and who
are by no means in agreement with
each other in those convictions.

state officially, this conference is
extralegal. To be sure, a Cabinet
minister presides, but in the role Of
a guest, as he himself phrased it.
With this difference the idea is
about the same-come together, talk
it over, find a way out through
agreement.
VIII America fare better in re-
suits than did England and the do
minion to the north?
1t is a question of far more than
quibbling character. And it is a
question to which negative answer
brings no pleasant tintinnabulations
to an otherwise cheerful and COM
Portable spine.
For, be it remembered, the coal
miners have formulated demands
upon the mine owners, and the coal
miners are by their own choice not
represented in this conference over
which so many hope to entice the
dove Of peace to at least temporary
abode.
This is all set forth by way of
pointing out possibilities. Clocks
have been known not to run even
after they had been fixed.
The bright side of the picture is
that here are gathered men whose
voices are powerful in American in
dustry--men whose command is law
over vast territories, among vast
armies in great concourses Of COM
merce.
Here are gathered men who are
wont to say "let this be DONE" and
10, it is done. Here are men who
by sheer power of brain have risen
to command forces of tremendous
power. Here are men-and women
recognized the world over for the
sureness of their logic, the incisive-
ness of their analysis, the precision
of their conclusions. Here are men
and women who, the country will
think, can solve any problem that
admits of solution.
