There is no real surplus crop

the exception of corn. potatoes and
apples the total production OF most
Of the important farm crops is under

troubles Is that some Of our normal
outlets, are closed. OF the 100000
bales of cotton normally exported

Greece Accepts League
Provisions on Labor

The government of Greece ofi-
cially has notified the secretary
general of the league of nations
of the ratification of the draft con-
ventions adopted by the Interna-
tional Labor Conference held in
Washington. November, 1919, ac-
according to cable received by
Ernest Greenwood, American cor
respondent OF the International La
Dor office.
The legislation adopted by this
ratification contains some of the
most progressive labor and welfare
laws of any in the world. The
draft convention concerning unem-
pioyment requires the member rati-
Tying IL to establish a system of
free public employment agencies un-
der the control of a central author
ity. 1t also provides for the op-
Grafton of a national system which
will be coordination of both pub
lie and private free agencies. This
will gradually eliminate all private
fee-charging agencies.
Two conventions have to do spe-
cifically with the welfare of women
in industry. One of them provides
that no woman shall be permitted
to work during the six weeks fol-
lowing childbirth and shall have
the right to leave her work six
weeks before the probable time of
her confinement. 1t also provides
that while she Is absent from her
work in accordance with these terms
she shall be paid benefits sufficient
for the full and healthy mainte-
nance of herself and her child.

was born on Sept. 5. 1875, in Woon-

fame on the diamond he earned h@
keep by, driving a hack at WoGn-

However, the cabby used to find time
to play ball in between trains, and soon
got the reputation of being able to
Init a ball harder than anyone in Woon-

Constitution Fails
To Define S'Disability''
Supreme Court Determination
of Presidents Physical Status
Ia Recommended

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The Constitution Of the United
States provides that in the event Of
the inability Of the President to dis
charge the duties and powers Of the
Office "the same shall devolve on the
President, and the Congress may
by law provide for the case Of removal,
death, resignation or inability both
Of the President and Vice-President,
and such officer shall then act accord
ingly until the disability he removed
or President shall be elected"
The aim Of the trainers was to pro-
tect the young republic from dangers
that in the past had menaced England
where the serious illness Of a ruler
was received with great distress. Study
our Constitution diligently as you will,
and it will be seen that it fails to pro-
vide the necessary means for actually
defining disability" with reference to
the Presidents physical state.
There is no gainsaying the fact that
the vast majority of the American
people would like to see the existing
uncertainty removed, and assuredly the
Republican party would not go amiss
in providing definite legal procedure
to this end.
A way out would be to let the Su-
preme Court determine whether the
Executive is able to discharge the func-
tions of his Office, and unless | am
mistaken this provision is made in one
of the pending measures, the request
for determinat tion to be made by reso-
luton of either the Senate or the
House. MATTHEW G. BAINES.
