Resolutions State That
Partial Shutdown Only
Prolongs Suffering.

Resolutions will be presented be-
fore the. Tri-City Federation Of La
bor tonight, asking the federation
TO take the stand that all Industries
in the quad cities should operate at
full blast as long as the coal sup
ply lasts and then shut down.
The Moline and Davenport car
penters' unions are endorsing this
move. =
p. J. Carlson, business agent for
the various carpenters unions in
the quad-cities and at Geneseo,
s.said that the Rock Island carpen-
iitks' union does not meet until to-
morrow night, and. therefore, has
had no opportunity to take up the
question.
Bring Showdown.
It Is argued that there is nothing
reasonable in prolonging the suf-
fering Of the public, due to the coal
shortage brought about by the coal
strike. It Is claimed that the strike
will be settled sooner or later and
that. terms of settlement can be
made acceptable to both sides now.
Officials of the federation had no
comment to make relative to the
pending resolutions, but said they
would await action Of the member
ship tonight.

certain through demands Of the

Famous American Architect,
Long Resident OF Rome,
Discusses Question.
By Hendrix @. Anderson.

(Written for the United Press.)
EDITORS NOTE-Th Is the first
Of series of four articles by Hendrix
@. Anderson, American architect and
scholar, long resident In Rome, in which
he tells of the great plan for capital
city for the League of Nations.
Those interested with Anderson in
promotion of the idea of a world city
expect to present the whole scheme,
with architectural drawings covering
the smallest details, before the peace
conference.
Anderson has devoted most of his life
and large fortune In money to the
world center plan, hoping that League
of Nations would be formed in time 10
give him an opportunity to see his ideas
realized In brick and stone.
In toinorrow's article Andersen Will
tell how an international city with It's
various activities would affect agricul-
ture and commerce throughout the
world.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1919-01-09


governments and rulers Of all countries
of forming a League Of Nations, has not
only met with universal approval, but
it is becoming more and more evident
that the practical formation OF such
league will, when established, protect
ana expand the essential interests of all
people and nations, and become a def
mite means of abolishing war.
In suggesting a practical plan for the
League of Nations, the commercial and
economic relations are Of primary i'm
portance, and these and others must be
protected by an International world
court of justice which must be safe
guarded by an international military
force controlled by the league.
The international body Of permanent
judges in the world court should be
chosen by the national governments
that will hsve united in forming
League of Nations, and these meH
should not only be versed in interna.
tional law, but should possess broad
knowledge Of international affairs.
The standing military and naval
forces that are necessary for the pro-
lection Of the League of Nations should
be. formed, and their size and obliga-
tions decided upon by committee com.
posed of military and naval experts
chosen by the government Of each ma
tion forming the League of Nations.
No time should be lost in the organi-
zation of League of Nations. The
/ lawyer and the Judge, the scientist and
the scholar, the engineer and the archi.
tect, the painter and the sculptor the
contractor and the laboring man, the
steel constructors and stone cutters, tho
electrician and the inventor, every
branch of labor. industry and science,
is needed in the building Of our 'World
Administrative Center" for the League
of Nations-which must rise as an in
ternational monument Of liberty and
Justice Ia commemorate the heroic dead
whose noble sacrifice has freed the
world from tyranny and prepared the
future for true democracy and peace.
Without considering motives, We may
say that the world realizes that merely
from the economic viewpoint, prevon-l
tion Of war is among the. greatest pres
ent day problems
The world needs TO have the effort
ito bring people of all callings In the
different nations into associations with
ono another, systematizd- Such es-
ordination of fratcrnal aspirations
should come as result Of government
al initiative. Peoples now distruct one
another because they do not understand
ono another.
The World Administrative Centre
was conceived for the League of Ma
Etions- in order to gather together the
essential intercsts of all peoples and to-
facilitate tho. rspid falfiIment Of their
highest ains ana aspirations
