tifying yesterday in the court of

the firm Of Fissell & Co. 'in q posi-
tion where it was recognized" he
told tho court.
Nugent alleged that Fissell made
$146.000 on the Camp Merritt contract
and that, according to the gentle
mans agreement" between them. the
profits were to have been on a '.fifty-
F1sseli testified that Nusent was
put OUT when he found that F,issell
had failed to get an invitation to bid
on anything larger than q $250.000
housing proposition.
II told him." the contractor said,
that I couldn't see where his indu-
enoe was doing me any good, as I got
no chance on q 100000 project at

HOLDS LABOR BIGGER
ISSUE THAN LEAGUE
Senator Cummins Tells Petroleum
Congress Workers Do Not
Get Fair Share.

CHICAGO. March IL (by the Asso-
ciated Press).-Ths covenant Of the
league OF nations and other interna-
iional relationships cannot compare
In Importance with the relation. pres
ent and prospective. Of the govern
B. Cummins Of Iowa said last night in
an address before the National Pc
troleum Congress.
Unless the people of the United
States, who work for living are
well disposed toward American insti-
through the compensation for their
labor to become good citizens. de-
voted to their country and willing to
defend 1t, our foreign relations will
speedily disappear" Senator Cummins
said. Il venture the prediction that the
issue Of the oncoming political cam
paign. the issue which will chiefly de-
termine political affiliations, will con-
Germ the relation Of the government
to labor.
Events like the coal strike have
borne in upon me an abiding convic-
ton that the day Of the strike in the
agencies of transportation and In the
basic industries Of the country has
passed forever. This is not said with
any want of sympathy in the great
cause for which labor is fighting. In
my opinion, labor has never received
and is not now receiving it's just
share in the division between capital
and labor. but there must be in the
very nature of things some better
way to determine the division than
through the, strike. >.
ut seems to me that the government
must undertake. with respect TO
transportation and certain basic in
dustrieS, the task of compelling JUS
tice to wageworkers and OF ad1udl-
eating in a fair tribunal the disputes
which arise between employers and
employees. It must declare, when the
occasion arises. what wages shall be
paid and the working conditions which
shall exist. But this is not all In
those cases in which the public In
terest, welfare and protection require
governmental jurisdiction, the gov
ernment must not only adjudicate the
controversy, but it must enforce its
