that II the admonitions relative to

Novel Plan to Keep Peace.

Notwithstanding "bride's
strike" and the refusal Of married
women to give birth to children until
future wars are made impossible
through disarmament Of nations, Mrs.
Jessie Mackay, president of the Mil
waukee Peace society, declared that
in this way pressure could be brought
which would produce immediate re.
suits. A resolution calling upon the
Wisconsin members Of the congress to
use their influence for total disarma-

Nationalist forces under Renal Pasha,

Colby.
The actual work of mediation, it was
stated, will be performed by someone
who will be delegated for the task by
the President. Among the possibilities
for this delicate mission mention is
made OF Henry Morganthau, United
States ambassador to Turkey.
Other names suggested In official
circles are General Tasker H. Bliss of
the United States military commission
at the Peace conference; Norman H.
Davis, under-secretary of state, and
General John s. Harboard, who made
an investigation of the Armenian stu

The President points out that he
could not accept the mandate without
the consent of the Senate; he accepts
the offer to mediate, however, in order
to end the hostilities now being waged
against the Armenians.

declared in statement made public

This situation, apparently paradox
ical, has developed when seasonal agri-
cultural employment is ut its lowest
ebb in most sections of the country,
with Indications that unemployment
slowly is increasing, it was stated.
ITO understand the apparently con-
Trajectory situation of unemploy-
ment," the board asserted, ut is neces-
sary to recall that the industries of our
country are just emerging from u
period of intensive operation that may,
= without exaggeration, be called a
period Of super-production. In many
, localities there has been chronic
!, shortage of labor for several years.
Overtime work has been general. The
entire agricultural work of the country
has been carried on short handed and
farmers have been going without all
year round help, which most of them
SOrely need.
Plants Run on Short Time.
"High wages have brought great
inflow from villages and rural districts
to the Industrial centers. The country
has never fully realized the labor
shortage in minor employments which
this condition brought about The
present Industrial depression has cut
out most of the overtime that has been
the familiar concommitant of indus

years. Short time is in evidence in
many industries. Complete shutdowns
have occurred and are occurring, but
not in great numbers, nor for any
