Freeport, Pa, Sept. 2O.-Aboslute IN
dustrial armistice for six months was
urged today by Attorney General lai-
mer to permit the solution of economic
problems arising out Of the war.
Such a period of freedom from un-
rest would result soon in Increased

campaign against the high cost of Nv
ing evidently was strongly in his mina
during his speech at a celebration OF

teers. He said that altho many prop

which can not be worked out In the
public interest in a government Wnere
the people are the only rulers. But II
we shall not be satisfied with thnt

but disorder and delay can result.
Cool Heads Required.
''The crying need Of the world just
now is for peace, and not polit1ca
peace alone but Industrial peace among
men also. The things for which men
fight are never settled while the wal
is going on. An armistice must come
heads must cool and due consideration
to the rights of others must be given.
IF we could have an industrial
armistice for six months, if both the
necessary ingredients of capital; that
is, labor and money, the busy, peaceful
days would soon yield q spirit that
would soon make it possible to solve
the problems confronting us. Labor is
asking a larger share Of the production
of goods and there Is much justice in
it, but the chances of getting 1t or the
justice of it is not recognized when
labor refuses to produce.
''Idleness is not panacea for the
world ills. IVORY may be. The cost.

And the livery stable man went TO

Then Chief Bride went down the

They were right In the middle of

they wanted to stay and see how it

The operator obeyed and Chief

In the mob scene the mob was run
