SHOULD
 HAVE A VOICE

LONDON.-(P)-Sir Vincent Caill- ard. retiring president of the fedora ton of British industries. told the members of the federation the other day that he thot employers did not take their wage earners sufficiently into their confidence. At the same time he believed labor had been in the past suspicious and Irresponsible. He expressed the belief that the workers should be given a voice in the settlement of general conditions and should be allowed to make reco- mendations to the employers con- corning rates of pay for piece work and other matters.
 Employers, he said, would gain much more by patiently negotiating with their employees than by discontfnuing operations. Different standards of wages. he added, were producing unrest all over the world. Therefore. he believed international action in adjustment of labor matters would be beneficial,

STATEMENT AS TO THE PUBLIC
 UTILITY INDUSTRIES.

The plan here proposed presents greater difficulties in application to certain public utilities than to com petittve industry. The continuous operation of public utilities Is vital to public welfare. AS the capital in vested is in public use. 80 is the labor engaged public service: and the withdrawal of either with the result of suspending service makes the peo- pie the real victim. While continuous operation of all utilities Is conducive to the general convenience of the people, that of some of them is essen tial to their very existence. Of the later class the railways are a con- spicuous example and bear the same relation to the body polite as do the arteries to the human body. Suspen- sion produces practical social and economic anarchy and may impose hardship even to the point of starya- tton upon large sections of the com munity. The Interruption in such essential public utilities is intolerable.
 The conference believes that a plan of tribunals or boards of adjustment and inquiry should be applied to pub lie utilities, but in the adaptation of the plan two problems present them selves. First, governmental regula- tion of public utilities is now usually confined to rates and services. The conference considers that there must be some merging of responsibility of rates and services and the settlement of wages and conditions of labor. Such coordination would give greater se- curity to the public. to employe and and to employer. Second, is the prob lem whether some method can be arrived at that will avert all danger of Interruption to service. These matters require further consideration before concrete proposals are put for ward.
 STATEMENT AS TO oovERN- MENT EMPLoYEs.
 The government Is established in the interests of all the people. It can be conducted effectively only by those who give to its service an un- divided allegance. The terms and conditions of employment in the gov ernment service are prescribed by law. Therefore no interference by any group of government employees, or others, with the continuous opera ;tion of government functions thru

istlng machinery of COnCiliation, ad- justment, and arbitration established under the federal government under the government of the several states and territories or subdivision thereof or under mutual agreements of em- ployers and employees.
 Any industrial agreement made be- tween employers and employees may, by consent of the parties. be filed with the national industrial tribunal Such filing shall constitute agreement by the parties that in the event of a dispute they will maintain the status existing at the time the dispute orlgi- mated until final determination, and that any dispute not adjusted by means of the machinery provided thru the agreement shall pass on appeal to the national industrial tribunal for determination, as in the case of & dispute submitted on appeal from a regional board.
 OBJECTS OF PLAN.
 The main objects of the above plan are to secure national coordination and to stimulate the formation of bodies for local adjustment The re quirement of unanimity of agreement has by experience Tn the United States proved remarkably successful and should assure such confidence that neither side can rightfully refuse to submit to adjustment. A prece- dent condition of such submission Is that the Interruption of production shall be delayed The frank meeting of the parties In controversy together with other men skiued in questions at issue always gives promise of set tlement On the other hand, refusal to submit to the board not only inau- gurates a legal inquiry but also pre- judices the obstinate party or parties in public opinion Moreover, the fact that membership on the board of Inquiry Is available to either party to the conflict singly would tend further to weaken the position of the other. When both parties join. the board at once becomes a board of adjustment, and conflict cease by agreement until a determination Is reached

TEETH OF DISTRICT
SCHOOL CHILDREN
BAD, DOCTOR SAYS
Lack of Brushes by Over
Half Blamed for Un-

Sixty-three per cent of the 14,314
public school children whose teeth
were inspected last year admitted
that they did not use tooth
brushes, according to DIR. W. J..
Davis, of the public health group
Of the City Club, at a meeting We'd
nesday night at the clubhouse
Seventy-five per cent of the pupils
examined last year had unclean
teeth, 11.3 per cent had unhealthy
gums. IL per cent needed their teeth
Strengthened, and per cent had
teeth in an abscessed condition, DR..
Davis reported. OF the 14,314 pu-
pills examined, only s11 white pupils
and 527 colored pupils had their
teeth in what might be considered
good condition.
I'VE often hear people speak of
the good sound teeth of colored peo-
ple," said DIR. Davis, yet statistics
show that the teeth of colored chill
dren are far inferior to those OF
white children. Colored pupils had
66.2 per cent more cavities in their
teeth than white pupils"
DIR. Davis statistics were based
on information supplied by the four
dental clinics maintained by the
public schools. He said that on a
recent visit to one of the schools,
out of 100 pupils whose teeth were
examined, all had defective teeth.
These statistics point out the ne
cessity of prevention work." said
DR.. Davis. The pupils should be

care of their teeth"
