The conference with Hoover was an
inspiration. 1t points the way to
ronriliation between labor and capital.
IL GOmpCrs makes his program Of con-
ciliation between labor and capital

whose administration Is to be one of
"onciliation, may hope Gompers will
succeed.
II Gompcrs does as we'll as this, he
will stand before the country as the
man who keeps labor conservative, and,

il regarded in Washington, holds back
anti labor legislation, and who, by
reason of the confidence capital has in
him. restraints capital frC forcing the
issue of the open shop.
4. F. OF l.. Has Lost Prestige
Organized labor is, as pointed out
recently in this correspondence, in Sc
riouS difficulties. Public opinion, an
gercd at its aggressive attitude year
ago. is, at least, critical Of it if not
hostile. The country has turned CON
servative and labor has been playing
with radicalism.
Capital, having had all its big fights
with labor a year ago, Is Inclined to
carry its victories through to their
| logical conclusion, the open shop. The
party in power owes nothing to or
ganized labor, and is, perhaps, re
sentful Of its opposition. The public
/ to some extent. blamcs labor for limit o
| ing production and thus forcing up tho
! cost Of living. And the times, with

Gompers is trying to conciliate pub
lie opinion. lie disiniSses the radicals
in his organization, whose position in
| high places has disQuicted the pcOnle.
He meets the hG' cost of living
problem by considering plans for in.
creasing the efficiency of labor.
He seeks to establish friendly rela
tionS with engineers as one step in the
direction Of friendly relations with
capital.
Propaganda In Churches
He Is 20 conduct propaganda in tht

BOOKS FOR EVERY.
BODY" CHAMPAIGN

Determined not to be outdone by
the young and vigorous American
Merchant Marine, the British Mercan-
tile Marine is to emulate the educa-
tional work which the American Lii
brary Association is performing in
supplying libraries for American
merchant crews. The Valley City Pub
lie Library has learned that the Mer-
chant Marine department of the A.
L. A., which already has supplied IL
braries to more than 1000 American
vessels, has been asked to supply in
formation regarding this service to
the Central Library for Students,
London, which will advise on similar
work for the British Mercantile Ma
rine. Through the proposed library
service, British shipping interests
plan to give merchant seamen oppor-
tunity to develop their education along
lines of their own choosing. The
program is expected to benefit at least
100000 men.
The service to be followed by the
British is given to the American Mer-
chant Marine by the American Ii
brary Association from tWenty-seven
important American seaports, includ-
in Manila and Honolulu, through spe-
cial dispatch: Offices or through public
libraries acting as representatives of
the A. L. A. A dispatch Office recently
established at Sault Sainte Marie,

The Valley City base ball club jour
neyed to Tower City last Sunday to
play game of ball. 1t rained but
for four and one-half innings the two
opposing teams went at it and then
quit. The score was six to nothing
in favor. of Valley City. McGovern,
one of the Valley swatters got up to
the plate with the bases full and con-
nected with the ball to such an extent
that it was a home run. The ball was
knocked into Barnes county and we
have not heard whether it has been
retrieved or not up to this time. Man.
ager Sampson was so tickled over this
that he has postponed his trip to
Rochester for ten days. If the boys
win the next game ]. H. will be fully
recovered and won't need to go at all.

at any time and apparently they are
allowed to be around so far as any
protection to the public is concerned.
We had our car smashed into Sunday

he did not know which side of the

NJ. II. Dreyer returned last night
from business trip to Chicago where
he went to buy dresses and ladies'
wear for his exclusive store. He tells
US that he purchased 200 dresses at
reduced prices, but says that the mar
ket is going up just the same. He
also says it is almost impossible to
buy goods in the market on account
of the labor situation-the manufac-
turers cannot get the goods manufac-
tured to fill the requirements of the
country.
