We are in favor of legislation that
will effectually prevent the catastro-
phe that would follow a general rail-
road strike and at the same time fully
recognize the rights of the laborer and
all parties in interest"
President Wilson'S second industrial
conference has put forward a tenta-
tive plan for the settlement of indus
trial disputes and adjourned until jan
uary Y, when it will be ready to listen
to criticisms Of its scheme from in
terested parties SO far the comments
on the plan have ranged all the way
from warm praise to ridicule. AS ma
chinery for cancellation the conference
proposes this:
l. A national Industrial tribunal, APP
pointed by the president, to serve as
board of appeal for the final adjust
ment of wage and other controversies.
2. Twelve regional chairmen, APP
pointed by the president who viii
form boards on occasion from eStab-
lished panels of employers and en-
plOyees for the adjustment of partic-
ular disputes.
3. Regional boards of inquiry to in
vestigate and report upon any dispute
which either or both parties refuse to
settle through a board of adjustment.
4. Umpires to whom a board may
refer q dispute for decision.
The plan does not propose to do
away with the ultimate right to strike,
to discharge or to maintain the closed
or the open shop; but a decision I'M.
der it would be binding on both par
ties, having the force and effect of a
trade agreement. The conference be
lieves policemen, firenlen and other
government employees should be de-
MED the right to strike but not the
right to associate for mutual protec-
tion or the presentation of grievances.

Numerous deaths in many parts Of
the country, due to the drinking of bo-
gus whisky made of wood alcohol, have
aroused the authorities and have
spread dismay in the ranks Of those
who were relying on ''mOonshine"
liquor for their evasions of the prohi.
bition laws. Criminal gangs in sew
eral cities have engaged in the manu-
facture of this deadly drink, and have
profted enormously, but some of their
members are now under arrest and
probably many others will be caught
and punished. Their victims, natural
ly, are mainly of the poorer classes,
which could not afford to lay in ''pri-
vate stocks" before the sale Of liquor
became illegal. If the wood alcohol is
not fatal to the drinkers. it is almost
certain to cause total blindness. AS
one result of the deaths the bureau of
internal revenue will recommend to
congress the passage of law subject
ing the manufacture and sale of wood
alcohol to the same restrictions as
grain alcohol.

 While the increase in net reve- rues was small during the year, the fact that they did not fall be- low those of 1"13 is encouraging when the conditions extant in the Division, in common with all of AL aska, are taken into consideration, according to MT. Bell The revenues of the incorporated towns for 1920 exceeded those of 1919 by approx imately $500. The increase for the incorporated towns during the same period is not so great, these towns more than held their own, showing a gain of approximately $500.

1OES YOUR BACK ACHE?

If you are troubled with back aches,
it is a bet that they are caused by weak
kidneys; they don't perform their du-
ties, and you should look out, as there
is trouble brewing.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backache, head
ache, dizzy spells, and it is more than
likely to bring on rheumatism.
The urine is often cloudy, full of
sediment, your sleep disturbed by be-
ing compelled to arise, one or more
times during the night, because of the
pain, irritation and abnormal condition

When the kidneys arc not doin9 their
duty they allow impurities to accunlu-

and other poisons, which viii cause
serious trouble unless they are driven
from your system.
If YOU cat meat regularly, you should
