ADJUDICATION OF LABOR DISPUTES

DEMOCRACY the will of the people, expressed through
 the institutional channels must in the end get itself done that democracy to exist It becomes ogarchy an imperialism something restricted than democracy can be-
 The will the people tends to express itself in the form of law people interested in the laws in the degree which the law affect them in their daily lives and occupations
 long labor disputes outside of the of the law, they settled private feud Society will be upset Progress coming gradually will by caaclym which is say child born period profound dis urbance.
 But if labor disputes brought under public justice better and safer condition would be arrived at
 If at first the employers had influence in the government and got somewhat the better of the bargain dispute the workers would brought take deeper tere in governments seeing their fortunes profoundly a feced and would thereby establish balance which they would have equal weight perhaps the scales would yield little upon labors side,
 There is in the world less public adjudication labor disputes An inspection of the condition the dispute settled by law will convince almost anybody that labor gains and better off than under the system prevailing in this country in which gain is obtained by costly strike and the workers invariably left poorer than they should be by their struggle for better conditions.
 The labor dispute difference, which settled court of justice easily cheaply ly than it can be settled by strike.
 Most of the evil that the people suffer that many of them place in the strike, understanding they have of what may be peacefully equaby and beneficially gained by force of law.
 Labor leaders beginning see not as clearly as might be desredy that strikes which merely not touch prices by which the wages are most instantly a.nihilated.
 In the administration of industrial justice would become accustomed think economic terms the nterreations would stand out clearly and everybody would large production, and scientific distribution to widely distributed, maximum, material prosperity.

Washington, April 17-At the time of the first announcement that the al lied nations would hold a conference at San Reno it was said at the state department that the United States would not be represented and it is understood there is no change in this decision
 The United States has not been for n7a7y represented at the peace con ference since Under Secretary Polk left Paris last DeceInbeT. ATnibassa- dor Wallace has attended some of the meetings of the conference of anbas- saf7ors at Paris but purely in the ca pacity of an observer. When the all lied supreme council met at London Ambassador Davis did not attend
 The report which had been ciT-cu- lated that the allied conference at San Reno would, consider the imme~ diate admission of Germany to the League of Nations is regarded here as extremeI improbable. It is point ed out that the covenant of the League provides for the admission Of new members, which fulfill the re- quirement for membership on a two thirds vote of the assembly of the League Therefore Germany's aTspIi- cation should she make one, should be addressed to the Secretary of tke League of Nations, it is pointed out, instead of to the San Reno confer ence.

Boston, April 17-Coa1 was the prime requisite today of New Eng lands railroads and industriaIs. Con- tinuance of present railroad passen- ger sch edu1es and the operation of numerous industrial establishments depend upon the amount of coal ar irving in this section by Monday.
 The New York and New Haven and Hartford railroad announced that it would make drastic cuts in passenger service on Monday unless q substan- New Eng1and's gateways before that time. More industrial plants were closed today due in most instances to lack of fuel
 Some, however, were unable to pro- cure sufficient quantities of raw ma teriaIs and continue operation and could not make long haul shipments of manufactured products. The strike of marine clerks employed by the New England Steamship Company, a sub sidiary of the New Haven, complicat- ed the situation. The New Haven has declared an embargo on all freight by steamers between New Haven and New York, thus closing another point of entry into New England. Clerks at Newport, R. l., have joined those aV ready out at q half dozen coast cities.
 The food supply of the region was reported as still sufficient for some days The state commission on the necessaries of life has commenced an investigation here as to increases in the price of food as alleged to be due to, the shortage of supplies, Mail ser vice was improved on all roads today still there remains an accumulation of parcel post matter at various points.

ELIERs GIVE A BALL

society 1lOCkeu 10 the annual aFla- tors ball the other night at the Ritz Carlton under the auspices of the American Flying club. This is the sec ond ball in the history of the club and the proceeds will go to build a fitting memorial for the aviators who made the supreme sacrifice in service
 The occasion marked the reunion of the aeronautic personnel. and all of the ex-service aviators appeared in their uniforms. A touch of realism in the decorations of the ballroom added much to the effectiveness of the scene. The ceiling resembled the roof of the world with fleeting clouds and now and then shadowy airplane speeding among the stars.
 Suspended here and there were min iature airplane models of all the allies. The insignia of the club in colored electric design blazed over the stage, where professional entertainment was held preceding the ball. The boxes were arranged on the floor level. with white standards decorated with gilt wings and separated by hedges of spruce.
 The members of the junior commit tee. composed of the seasons debu- tantes. wore special headdresses pat ! termed after the insignia of the club. 1 The programs were souvenirs of art, with full pages given over to the work i of leading illustrators, some in color. James NJ. Dillon and Eugene Bowen, i both aces, directed the entertainment.
