 DECISIVE VICTORY

The seventh Olynpiad closed late Monday afternoon amid continued rain and cold so far as the track and field competitions are concerned, with a de- cisive victory for the American ath- 1etes.
 Although the team is not considered as good as some of the other teams that have gone to Europe in the past to take part in Olympic games, the Americans rolled up total of PIP points during the week of competitions, figure more than twice as great as that of the nearest rival nation-Fin- land with 105.
 Points Sored

The Americans scored in all but four events and were tied with Finland for first place championship honors, each nation having won nine flrsts. The United States was far ahead in second places won, with F, and was second to Swe- den in thirds,< having won nine to 10 for Sweden The Americans scored 10 fourths, twice as many as their; nearest rival They outranked the other teams in ffths won, but did not secure quite as many sixths as Sweden

Lsber Pushlna Campaign.

Executive councils of state fedora lions of labor have been asked by the executive committee of the American Federation of Labor to hold special sessions to adopt measures for close cooperation with the national commit tee in the political campaign.
 The councils were asked especially 10 study the legislative records on measures of interest to labor of all members of the Sixty-sixth congress whose terms of office expire March 4. These records recently were completed by the national committee and sent to the state organizations.
 Special conferences of all labor or ganizations in each of the congress sional districts of the country were also suggested by the national com mittee, but no dates were fixed. The purpose of these conferences would be to prepare for active campaigns in each congressional district.

Missouri Child Labor Law Killed.

The section Of the Missouri child la- bor law prohibiting the employment of children under eighteen years of age, around machinery, was declared un- constitutional by the state supreme court.
 The court held that the title to the section, which is Schools Compulsory Attendance of Children" did not cor respond with provisions of the act which regulates the employment of children.
 The decision was the case of Ben jamin B. Berry. fifteen years old, whose right hand was crushed in a machine at the plant of the Majestic Milling company, Aurora, where the boy was employed. A decision grant Ing the boy 5000 obtained in the cir cult court of Lawrence county was re versed.

May Day or Eight Hours.

With rapidly increasing clamor throughout Australia for reduction in the working week from AS hours to A or even 40 hours, the annual eel ebration of Eight-Hours day by the combined labor unions has had a hu- morous element not altogether over looked by the leaders of labor. Re gently the Melbourne Trades Hall council decided to organize a Labor day on the first of May each year, to take the place of the present eight hours celebration. It was decided to refer the proposals to all labor coun- cils throughout Australia and to all the federated unions for their support.

LONG STRIKE COMES TO END
Winnipeg Post Office Employees Are Re-empIoyed Under Conditions They
 Have Accepted.

The longest strike" on record in Canada has just ended with the re- employing at the Winnipeg post office of carriers and clerks who joined with 25,OOO other workers May 15, 1919, in the general strike that paralyzed this city for six weeks last summer.
 Authorization to reinstate the strik- CTS has been received from Ottawa, and they are being re-employed as va caneies occur.
 One condition of return is to sign a pledge never to strike again for any reason whatever. In imposing the pledge the government takes the posi- tion that mail service is public util- ity which never must be crippled by labor troubles.

STRIKE CHASED
 AS MEDIEVAL
Newspaper Urges Employer and Worker to Devise Some
 Better Scheme.
BRINGS HEAVY LOSS TO ALL
Present Condition Declared Neither a Credit to Business Management Nor Public Administration Industrial Stability Vital to Everybody.
.(From the indianapolis News,

J(From the Indianapolis News)
 According to statistics compiled by the federal department of labor, 3,375 strikes, involving more than 100000 workers, occurred in the United States in 1919. Assuming that the 4,OOO, 900 include only the strikers and their de pendents, and such other workers as were made idle by reason of their work being intimately connected with that of the strikers, the tale is not-half told.
 Some of these strikes, such as the coal miners strike, the dock workers strike, the railroad strike, and the steel strike, affected more or less directly every institution in the country; and thus all of the people, numbering something more than 100,0O0,O00. were put to inconvenience, expense, and sometimes exposed to peril because four per cent of the total was not sat isfied with it's wages or working condi- tons and knew no other way-or, at any rate. refused to recognize any other way-to better the situation than to strike
 This is a condition that fs credit neither to our business management nor our public administration. It is in effect sacrifice of the interests of the many to the interests of the few, when there should be sacrifice of neither There are, of course, always the unreasonable malcontents who will not be satisfied with any arrangement, but for the most part Americans pre- fer peace and a steady job to the ar tifcially created industrial unrest of which they are so frequently made the victims. It Is useless to hope that all men will be able to agree all the time, but 1t is wholly possible for them to adjudieate their differences without resort to the medieval custom of using force-and the strike or the lockout Is force. Perhaps when the campaign is over, and the statesmen and politicians can look forward to a period of two years without urgent pc htical maneuverings, they can find time to consider the question of indus trial stability with more sincerity and earnestness than they have given to 1t heretofore. Probably nothing would do more to bring about return of na- tional c0ntentment and assure stable prosperity, and to show that the eoun- try is really as civilized as 1t pretends to be.

Washington, Aug. 27.-An Associated Press dispatch states that Italy has an oversupply of men and wants to send 800000 immigrants to the United States.
 Many are Italians who returned from the United States to fight in the war Italy has found 1t profitable to send her sons to foreign countries, for they send their savings back to the mother country. This practice is declared equivalent to Italy manufacturing pro- ducts, exporting them and receiving cash in payment therefor.

SENATE WOULD AMEND
PEACE RESOLUTION
Members Far Apart on Ending
War; Resent Intervention by
Chairman Hays.

Washington. April l6.-Somc inde-
cision was apparent today among we
nublcan leaders in the Senate as 20 the
form of the peace resolution 10 be re-
ported from the Foreign Relations Com-
mittce.
Republicans in the Senate are divided
into three or four distinct groups ol
opinion on the question. 30 lar IL mas
been found impossible TO bring them To-
gether. and for that reason the Foreign
Relations Committee has not bcen able
20 agree on a report.
Will III. Havs. Chairman OF the tie
publican National Committee, was ac-
cuscd by some Republicans today OF
having complicated the situation by sug-
pesting what he thought ought to be the
form of the resolution. Some OF the ke-
nublicans are quick 10 resent anything
that looks like interference by Mr.. Hays
In the affairs of Congress.
According 10 report here, when
Senators declined to verify, Mr.. hays
suggested that the resolution rs re-
ported should not be a knox rcsolu-
tion" or a Lodge resolution, but simply
a "Republican resolution" He was also
reported to have said that he favored
making the resolution as simple III form
as possible.
Some Republicans felt, they said, that
their leaders were playing politics TOO
strongly in the matter of the resolution
IntJmations of this feeling were made
today at meeting of the Foreign Re
lations Committee. where the House
peace resolution. the substitute nitro
duced Yesterday by Senator McCumoer

cussed. The discuss :ons, Senators SAID.
grew warm at one point, when Re
publican member mentioned the report
concerning Mr.. Hays, in an indirect
wav. at least, and said that it seemed
apnarent that Republican leaders were
viewing the task of declaring peace rs
an opportunity to make political capital.
As a result of the division of opinion
in the Republican ranks, no action was
taken by the committee, which Will meet
again tomorrow. There was talk OF form
ing a Joint committee, composed OF MEM
bers of the House Foreign Affairs and
Senate Foreign Relations COMMITTEES,
10 try to work out resolution which
would be acceptable to both houses.
Senate leaders consider the House reso-
lution too elaborate and complicated
and generally favor its simphticatloh To
considerable extent. There was nc
indication tonight. members of the Sen
ate committee said, when a report would
be possible.

MAYORS MAY Be CALLED
To SEE DET RO|T TROLL LEYS
Will be Shown How to Extend
Municipal Railways to Their
Home Cities.

Detroit, April 16.--As soon as Detroi
noblizes her forces TO begin the building
n her own street car lines, as authorized
oy the voters at the election held this
month. il is probable a conference of
American Mayors will be called TO show
them how Detroit's system may bc
extended to their cities.
Detroit has taken a step of national
Importance. The fact that 63 per cent
of her citizens. after p years of bitter
lighting with street railway corporation,
decided upon munich pal lines, demon
strates the futility of compromise, here
or elsew here.
Students have long recognized the
hopelessness of trying to harmonic the
divergen ideas of service and profit.
The city granted a monopoly of streets
for service and the company took the
profit. IT was inevitable there would be
a clash.
Detroit finally learned public trans
pOrtation must be founded on service
alone.
The sooner American cities take over
transportation the sooner their trans
portation and housing problems will be
solved.
The public will no longer grant fran
cilises 10 private monopo lies and with
out them. companies cannot finance
themselves
Agreements are only tenn porary com
promises postponing the da Y Of judg-
ncnt. Every compromise leaves the
city in greater distress.
Detroit was unwilling TO buy the COM
pany lines at inflated prices. Now she
will have her own lines and soon the
company will be glad to reduce its price
and sell out
Why should small group of bond
holders most OF them living out Of the
city and with no local interest say how
We shall ride 10 and from our homes and
where We shall build them?
Detriot voted To own its lines IN the
face Of the old wolf cry, City lines will
be political machine"
Detroit saw tn at as long as her city
administration had TO stand between the
people and company lobbyis Is. the rail-
way system would be a political issue
II saw L couldn't hold railway board
Of directors responsible for service and
that il could hold elected officers re-
sponsible. 1t can fire a mayor: not a
railway company president.
Detroit Is leading the way for the next
big step IN American municipal railway
development.
