ENGLAND GETS
PEACE BY NEW
TURN IN LABOR
Result of Private Conference
by Union Leaders on In.
dustrial and Politi-
cal Questions.
NO DIRECT ACTION NOW
Labor Officials Change When
They Find That General
Strike Means a
Revolution.
By K. WALTER

LoSDoS, July 25.-lndusirial peace
and prosperity have been made mort
sure than in many years in England
by the new turn given TO labor ambi
lions as the outcome of many private
conferences between union leaders.
Men who have hesitaied for years be
tween the industrial and political
sides Of the movement are now throw
ing the full weight Of their influence
toward turning the entire pressure Of
labor unrest into the political machine
Even those who are skeptical about
labor's ability TO build up a strong
enough party 10 win general election
are supporting this new direction Of
energy. if for no other reason than
that the political machine is the safe.
ty.valye OF social unrest.
How near England has been to revo,
luton during the last three months is
only now becoming generally known.
Labor leaders are telling freely what
very nearly happened. All the secrets
of the conferences Of the three big
unions have now been told. and re.
veal the fact that not only once but
several times the question Of revolu.
iion was in the balance. None Of the
leaders seem TO have had any doubt
that when they we're discussing gener-
al strike action they were actually
debating the possibility of precipitat.
ing a movement which mus, either
have failed or resulted in the setting
up Of revolutionary labor govern
menf.
Most OF the industrial leaders are
old-iimers, who have, been union Of
ficials for the best part of their lives
and have never had "a revolutionary
thought. in their heads. Even in a
general strike they saw no political
significance. A general strike would
be simply a general cessation Of work
ending in general reumption Of
the men back. That was iall they
saw in it. until the Lloyd George gov.
ernment took definite stand in the
matter and declared they would figh,
the unions to finish.
Suddenly, the union leaders saw
where their erroneous view Of the
strike had led Them. that instead aof
being conservatives they were actually
on the brink Of being revolutionaries
without knowing it. They discovered
that the old fashioned trade unionism
with its strictly limited objectiyes, is
a thing Of the past. and that all labor
subordinate to political party having
well-defined constitutional aims is po.

WAR OPENED ON THIsTLEs
Agriculture Board Wants Help to
Eradicate Pest

JEFFERsoN CRY. July 25.-The Mis-.
souri, State Board Of Agriculture. in its
war campaign against weeds, is par.
ticularly going after the Canada or
Scotch THISTLE this kind Of weed be.
ing under the state law the most OBJ.
noxious Of all weeds, or al least so de-
clared by statute as set forth in sections
l2ll8 to 1922 Of the Revised Statutes
Of 1919.
The Missouri State Board Of Agricul-
ture at Jefferson City is desirous of
hearing from all persons who know Of
the exact location of Canada thistles in
this state. The specific order in this
matter requires that. specimens Of the
plant be sent 10 Jefferson City TO make
sure of the identity of the weed. since
there are so many kinds Of thisiles.
The State Board of Agriculture pur.
poses 10 cooperate with farm bureaus,
farm clubs, farmers unions and oranges.
and private citizens, for the vigorous en-
forcement of the old Canada thistle law.
Sam Jordan, the best known authority
on weed control in Missouri, made the
following statement today in relation TO
the weed war:
How many prosecutions have ever
been made against violations Of weed
laws? Personally, have never ye,
heard Of one.
Weed laws do no good unless en-.
forced.
"A drive over any section OF Missouri
reveals the sad fact that these laws have
been unheeded. Farmers have not inter.
ested themselves in them. and when no
interest is taken by those who should be
most directly concerned it becomes no
wonder that laws are not enforced.
"0ne trouble seems to be that farm.
ers do not know enough about weed
pests, and they have often too little
faith in the agencies that are designed
10 help them. Others as yet do no,
understand jus, how TO go about it to
