INDUSTRIAL REMEDIES.

The latest industrial conference Gre
atcd by President Wilson has made
public n tentative plan for the settle
mcnt of industrial disputes which has
special interest at this time. 1t pro-
poses the cHcatiOn of a national indus
trial tribunal with several subordinate
regional tribunals which shall hear the
disputes between capital and labor in
their regions, the supreme tribunal to
give the final decision in cases appealed
to it from the regional boards. The
decisions are to have full force and eff
feet of trade agreements. In effect it
is compulsory arbitration.
1t mrescrvedly declares that gov
eminent employees concerned with the
administration of justice or the main
tenance of public order or public safe
ty shall not be permitted to affiliate
with any organization which authoriz-
es the use of the strike. 1t is not so
definite regarding the employees of pub
lie utilities but says: Government
al regulation of public utilities is now
confined to rates and services. The
conference considers that there must
be some merging of responsibility for
regulation of rates and services and
the settlement of wages and conditions
of labor. The problem is to arrive at
some method that will avert all dan
ger of interruption to service
Already organized labor has declared
its dissatisfaction with the recommend
ations because they do not affirm thu
RIGHT of collective bargaining and be
ca,,Ge they do not aSlow the choice OF
arbitrators by labor representatives,
In other words,bccause'i does lot leave
the decision of industrial disputes en-
tirely to organized labor. Capitalists
have made no comment on the propos
ais but undoubtedly will be heard al
the public hearings that are to be
opened on the twelfth of this month
q Washington. 1t will be observed
that large number of government
employees will be necessary to carry
out the work and of course government
employees are more or less dependent
upon politics. That fact will reduce
the value of such tribunal but if il
can establish justice between the two
, parties it will 90 n long way towaro
solving the question that so sorcly per
plcXcs the country at present.

DEVELOPING THE COUNTY.

+. l.. Parmelec, county president of
the New England Milk Producers as
ISOLATION, in a letter to the Windham
County Farm Bureau News suggests
the establishment of n comparatively
owned plant capable of handling the
dairy products of this section. This
he believes is necessary for the success
of the dairymen of the county. lie
further calls attention to the fact that
only two dealers are buying Windham
county milk today and this milk comes
from only seventy diaries which fur
nish an average of eighty-tive quarts
each per day.
That the county is not marketing rs
much milk as it should is evident wien
milk from only seventy dairies is be-
ing delivered. There should be as many
daries as that selling milk in several
towns in the county. Windham coun-
ty milk should go into more than one
of the Connecticut valley cities 1t
is nearer those cities and can deliver
milk in better condition and at less
cost than the towns to the north which
are now furnishing some of these cities
with whole milk
The advantage of a central plant fol
| this county would be the opportunity
it would give for disposing of surplus
milk. If it could secure large pro
portion of the milk produced in the
county it could go to on her cities besides
Springfield, Mass, which it now sup
plies, and contract for fixed amount
of milk to be shipped each day. Their
the surplus could be made into butter
cheese, or condensed milk and disposed
of to the best advantage. The posi-
bilities of such market for Windhan
county milk are promising and actor
should be started at once if the farm
ers of the county want to try the plan
next season.
