At the headquarters of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor at Washing
ton 1t is said that the proposals now
under consideration by the British war
cabinet looking toward the establish
ment of an international tribunal to
adjust labor conditions possibly as an
adjunct to league of nations, do not
meet with favor by the American or
ganization.
News dispatches from London and
private adyices to labor officials lately
have indicated that several such pro-
posals would be presented to the peace
conference, and that some of them
would contemplate international stand
ardization of wages, and restrictions,
making impossible the Sweating" of
labor anywhere.
No one will object to dealing a
death blow to sweating" Frank Nor
rison, secretary of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor said, but / question
if American labor will turn its affairs
over TO an international committee.
Under such a system. iron workers
in America could not improve condi-
tions If their present standards are In
excess of the Belgian iron workers, for
instance. This would be a good sys.
TEN for the employers Of America and
England, whose workers are better con,
ditioned than those on the continent
THE best way to internationalize
standards of working people Is first
to establish American standards. Any
other SYSTEM Of Observation-Disclosures
means that the American worker must
surrender gains made, or the American
worker must postpone further gains
until workers in Europe reach his pres
ent standard
The American worker will accept
no such principle, regardless Of any de-
cision that may be made at the peace
conference"

No WAGE Reduction soon.

That no early reduction of wages of
steel workers is contemplated In
large industries was indicated by an
nouncement made at Youngstown
Ohio
1--WE do not expect any reduction
of wages within six months" said
James A. Campbell, president of
Youngstown Sheet and Tube company,
in an interview. There ought not TO
be any before we have world crop.
We have to feed the people Of the
other side now"
w A. Thomas, president of the
Brier Hill Steel company, said "We
are not going to reduce wages"
Steel plants are reported busy and
while large number of new orders
have not been received, deferred or
ders, accumulated during the war,
will keep the industries busy for some
time, 1t is asserted.

THE MAN WHO WINS

The man who wins is the average
man,
Not built on any particular plan,
Not blessed with any particular
luck,
Just steady and earnest, and full of
pluck
When asked question he does
not guess;
He answers the question, NO or
eyes"
When set to task that the rest
can't do
He buckles down till he's put i;
through
Three things he's learned: Thai
the man who tries
Finds favor in his employers eyes,
That it pays to know more than one
thing well;
That it doesn't pay all he know
to tell
For the man who wins is the man
who works,
Who neither labor nor trouble
shirks,
Who uses his hand, his head, h,s
eyes,
The man who wins is the man who
tries.

the efficient limits of an adult as has
been agreed by the government, all en-
