GRAVEDIGGERS STRIKE
Another Walkout in Ireland Again Causes Much Trouble and Endan- gers Health of Public.

Dublin, Oct. 7.-Another strike Of grave diggers in Dublin maintained for some weeks at GlasneVin cemetery has caused much inconvenience and some risk to the public health. It was mitigated however, by the decision of the cemeteries com Iu6' ,ee to permit interments by people having plots in the cemetery provided that they open ed and closed the graves themselves without calling on the committee for assistance.
 The grave diggers have now appeal ed to the hearse drivers who have de- clared a sympathetic strike and re- fused to convey bodies for burial.

DOCKS ARE C0NGESTED
One of the reasons for High Cost of Living in England Is Congestion of Docks.

London, Oct. 7.-One cause for the high price of living, against which all London is complaining, is given IS the congestion at the docks were whole cargoes of food and other sup plies are being held up because it is impossible to unload and distribute them to points where they are need ed. Government occupancy of ware houses is given as the principal req son for the congestion.
 The western granary which should be filled with provisions for London is filled with uniforms for the Aus tralian army, and other instances equally irritating to the average Lon- doner are being cited.

Twilight is falling,

 Flames the dancing fire; Home comes your lover To his hearts desire. Dark the night lowers,
 Dark are sky and sea; You, through all hours.
 Light the world for me. Dawn's rosy fingers
 Touch the arching blue; One pale star fingers,
 Like my dreams of you.

AT THE LABOR CONFERENCE.

Nothing of note was accomplished during the first day of the Labor, Capital, Agricultural conference in Washington yesterday. All sides are waiting, so we are told, for something to "break," for someone to open up the subject of relations between capi- tai and labor, which is bound to be the big issue of the meeting. The farm CTS lie in wait, saying nothing, but with ears and eyes open. Possibly in the fight between the two big inter- ests the agricultural men will be able to gain something for themselves. what we do not know though they probably do.
 Tentative feelers have been put be- fore the public for some time past in the form of Congressional acts which will undoubtedly be the cause of ar gument later on. This is particularly numerous plans, most noteworthy of which is the Plumb plan, will be brought up and discussed. There is undeniable sentiment among laboring men for the naturalization of idus- try, particularly in the great public service corporations and the mining and basic industries. The test will come upon the Plumb plan. If it is thought that it is possible to force this scheme upon the public the other mat ters will then be advanced.
 The elimination of competition and the drawback to service that govern ment ownership will bring about is a, point that will be argued by the capi- talists, with reason, we are sure. They will then, possibly, suggest that their opponents get behind the bill which calls for the elimination of strikes and, in return, gOvernmen supervision of the railroads. But labor will not consent to give up it's right to strike Samuel Gompers has already commit ted himself upon this. It is hard to see, to foretell, what the middle ground of these arguments will be. The words of the conference, capital and labor alike, will be published throughout the land in many news papers and the great mass of people will have the opportunity of sitting in Judgment upon the virtues of the agreement suggested. Finally the Judgment of the people will become crystallized, public sentiment will be forced and the public will eventually decide. The reports of the conference will be we'll worth careful reading as the people of the United States are sitting in judgment. That is what it actually amounts to. The individual should be well informed at once
 Meanwhile the lord of the fields, the supp1ier of food to labor and capital alike, the representative of another basic" need, if not industry is sitting back in his chair and waiting for the cat to jump. He has an interest in the naturalization of railroads and of industry. It affects him as we'll as the rest of the United States His words will also be of value as those of disinterested person as far as actual adjustments are concerned. but one who has the best interests of himself at heart. And his interests will be greatly similar to ours, that of service Capital is in a position to demand little of him, labor cannot ask much. His fields will not be nationalized. his working hours will not be set nor will the purchase price of his goods, which neither side may get along without On with the conference. Let it come.

NOT ALARMING
Says Times Editor of Indus
trial Changes

London Enlgand-The London
Times, which is looked upon by con-
servative-minded people as the most
influential paper in Great Britain, is
not alarmed over what it terms "the
new industrial order"
"There is no reason" says the edi-
tor, "why it should not come into the
world quiet smoothly, if people under
stand what is happenin and do not
offer an unreasoning opposition"
The Times declares that "the real
meaning of the present turmoil is
that we are witnessing the birth
pangs Of new order" and that there
is nothing alarming at all in this, pro-
vided that changes are gradual and
tentatively introduced and the public
understands what is going on, so that
false steps can be avoided or retracted
in time"
The Times has in mind negotiations
now on between the government and
the powerful railway mems union and
also to the agitation of the British
Miners Federation for the national
ization OF coal mines.
The inspiration back of these trade
unions, says the Times, is what is
called guild socialism. This theory
is referred to as hybrid between
state socialism and syndicalism, but
avoids the evils of bureaucratic

Here's Latest NUT"
Association Would Create
Thirteen Months
Calendar

With women's suffrage, prohibition,
the league of nations, Postmaster
General Burleson and Hamilton's
street car swstem one would think
this country was over-burdened with
troubles, or at least had enough, but
it seems not so. Now comes the
American Equal Month Calendar As
sociation with more troubles. The
association would create thirteen
months year, or in other words, it
would divide the calendar year into
thirteen equal months.
The association says that a certain
doctor claims that our present calen-
dar is "ferocious mess" and very in
convenient. Of course we have been
running along about two thousand
years under a great inconvenience and

didn't know it. A bill has been in
troduced in congress to effect the
change The association further says
that we absolutely MUST have bet
ter method of measuring time"-and
here it is.
This new calendar, if adopted by
congress, will be known as the Liberty
Calendar, and will give us months Of
exactly four weeks each.
This is done in the following man
ner:
First, New Year Day becomes an
independent legal holiday 1t is not
included in any week or manth
Second, another independent legal
holiday, called Correction Day" is
provided for leap years. 1t is not
included in any week or month
Third, the remaining 364 days are
divided into 13 months of exactly four
weeks each, every month beginning
with Monday
Neither the number nor the length
of our months is governed by the
moon or any natural law, hence they
can be changed as we see fit The
months in the new form are jan
uary, February, Liberty, March. etc.
All holidays and anniversaries
would always fall on the same day of
the week A promissory note given
for any number of weeks, months and
years would always come due on the
same day of the week it was given
The plan also provides that Good Fri
day and Easter Sunday shall always
be observed on certain fixed dates.
The third month under the new cal
endar system would be known as Lib
erty. st. Patrick's Day comes in the
third month, but the plan so far does
MT indicate whether future st. Patrick
Days will be observed the 18th day
of Liberty or the 18th day of March.
The association says that every
man, woman and child would benefit
by the change, but how about the
poor renter who will have an extra
months rent tackled on him Need
less tc say that he will not be very
strong for il.
