Sylvest's NOn.Strike Measure
Causes Capital Stir.

Baton Rouge, La, May 81
Prevention of strikes and ell
mination of colossal economic
waste attending industrial disturb
auces, by the creation of a Court
of Industrial Relations to supplaht
the Bureau of Labor and Indus
trial statistis, is the plan set forth
in bill introduced in the House
Wednesday by M, J. Sylvest, of
Washington Parish.
Modelled after the law Of the
state CT Kansas, the court would
be vested with the authority to act
as arbiter in all difficulties arising
between labor and capital. Its
decisions in these matters would
be final.
1t would be authorized to hear
all controversies which threaten
to hinder, delay or suspend the
operation of such industries as
affect food and clothing and other
necessaries of life.
The court would be composed
of three judges, to be appointed
by the governor, duly vested with
the power, authority and juris-
diction to carry out the provisions
of the act.
AS set forth in the bill, it's ad i.
vantages would be-:
To insure to labor steady en-
ployment at a fairer wage under
better working conditions.
To make strikes, lock-outs,
boycotts and blacklists unneces.
sary and impossible by giving Ia
Dor as we'll as capital an able and
just tribunal in which to itigate
all controversies.
To insure the people Of Louisiana
at all times an adequate supply OF
those products which are absolute.
ly necessary for the sustaining OF
human life, and carrying on the
productive industries by which
people gain a livelihood, and con,
tribute to the supply Of consuma-
BILE goods.
In order that we might foster a
respect for the law and discour-
age and ultimately abolish intim.
idation and violence as a means
for the settlement of industrial
disputes and thereby preserve the
peace, health, morals, and well
fare of societies, and engender
greater desire for harmony ano
patriotism.
To stabilize the production Of
the necessaries of life, and there
by stabilize to larger extent
the price to the producer as vel
as to the consumer.
To avoid the delay and uncer-
tainty of the laborer getting what
ever benefits he is entitled to un
der the workmen's compensation
act, and to insure relief and as
sistance to those dependent upoI
labor, who might unfortunatel,
be killed in the hazardous EN-
pigments of industries.

Answer A Simple Question
And Win A $1,000 Prize.

In recent years IN the SOutn tne
country people have been giving
thought and are now showing
concern about uncontrolled woods
fires and its effect on the country.
1t is now and has ever been a
custom among our farmer folk,
out of sheer necessity, at certain
seasons of the year to burn around
their fields and premises. This is
absolutely necess ary in order to
prevent the fire originating from
some other source coming in and
destroying fences and property.
1t was not considered 80 neces-
sary in the old days to put these
fires out after the property at
home had been made secure.
There are many more people
and more farms now and because
of that fact and the further fact
that people are beginning to real
ize the damaging effect of fire
generally, they are interested, not
only in getting the fire stopped
on the side next to the fence and
home but on the opposite side as
we'll, as soon as a fire lane or
burned strip is wide enough to
protect the premises from outside
fires.
Therefore for the benefit of all
interested parties and that the
best practical time, plan and me.
thod in burning around our prem
ises may be brought out and
passed on to the entire commune
ty, The Era Leader is asking d
question, which we hope every
one who has learned how to ham
die woods grass fires, by practi-
cal experience, will answer. We
will be glad to publish your an
swers to the questions according
to number and these answers will
be referred to a committee of
three practical farmers. This
committee will decide the most
practical answers and prizes will
be awarded as follows:
First prize, $1,000; second
prize, $500; third prize, $3.50.
Here Is the question:
"How can we best protect our
own property, fencing, houses,
wood land, young timber plots,
pastures, etc., from woods or
grass fires, with the least injury
to the property of another?
The answer to this question
Jpresupposes the necessity of
every one in the country at some
time or other each year burning
around his own place without
permitting the fires to escape on
to the lands of another. Let your
answers be full and clear but do
not use more than 500 words.
The answers will all be turned
ever to the committee and after
the committee has made its deci-
sion, the best answer will be pub.
| lished and the awards will be
mailed to the winners. The COM
mittee is--Messrs. Frank Bate
man, Franklinton, La, John c..
Green, zona, La, James j. Ball,

Mail your answer to The Era

 A few years ago. a car that would do twenty miles an hour was consid- cred to be a speed wagon. Now an av- craze of 70 miles an hour is an ordin- arv occurrence and tires withstand the

 When tho thirteen colonies became a republic, national seals were impressed on two sides Of pieces of wax in a form similar 10 that of coins and hung from state papers by ribbons. Regard ing that as clumsy, we soon abandoned the pendant seal and stamped the ob- verse directly upon the document. Most people have forgotten that our seal had ever had two faces. Now. more than a hundred and twenty-five years later. the national community board, which is establishing clubs to train Ameri- cans for better citizenship, has adopt ed the reverse of the old national seal as its coat of arms.
