Honoring the Soldier Unknown Dead"

in the World war, have lately done
honor to the unknown dead of their
armies by placing with fitting cere-
mony the body of an unknown, uniden-
titled soldier, respectively in West
minister Abbey and in the Arc de Tri-
Omphe; and
Whereas, animated by the same
spirit of cOmradeship in which we of
the American forces fought alongside
these allies, we desire to add whatever
we can to the imperishable glory won
by the. deeds Of our allies and COM
memorated in part by this tribute to
their unknown dead: Now, therefore,
"Be it enacted, ETC., That the Presi-
dent of the United States be, and he
hereby is, authorized to bestOw with
appropriate ceremonies, military and
civil, the congressional medal of hon
or upon the unknown, unidentified
British soldier buried in Westminster
Abbey, London, England, and upon the
unknown, unidentified French soldier
buried in the Arc de Triomphe, Paris,
France"
1t now seems likely that we are to
have the same sort Of a ceremony
here in America-that an unknown
American soldiers body will be brought
home from France and buried at Ar
lington, or possibly even in the capitol.

No u. S. Rights Have Been Surrendered

When the time comes, it was de-
clared, the United States will be found
demanding: Recognition of a right to
a cable base on the Island Of zap, a
right now being contested by Japan
which has the mandate over zap.
The right to Oil privileges in MesO-
potamia extended to nations affiliated
with the League of Nations, a right
contested by Great Britain.
The spokesman for the administra-
ton today said it would not be the
policy of the administration to be at
all tlambOyant or boastful or belliger-
ent in the handling Of foreign prob
lens growing out of the war and sub
sequent treaty negotiations. But this
much he made plain: The rights of
the United States in world affairs ex-
list today right here just as they ex-
listed on the day of the armistice.
No one has surrendered any of these
rights; no one had any authority to
surrender such rights.
The rights of the United States could
be altered or curtailed only through a
treaty properly negotiated and rati-
fed; so far as the United States is
concerned there is no such treaty.

have touched the American heart.
Anyway, the American government is

with imposing ceremonies across the

EIGHT-HOUR DAY
GENERAL RULE
Metal Industries in Foreign
Countries Employ Three
Working Shifts.
PRODUCTION NOT HAMPERED
Employers and Employees Alike Salts
fled With the Arrangement-Even in
Japan the Prevailing Tendency Is
Toward the Three-shift System,

In Great Britain the movement to-
ward three working shifts in the great
metal industries was begun in the blast
furnaces as long ago as twenty-three
years; and by ten years ago was so
well under way as to be the rule in the
steel and tinplate industry of Wales
and a common practice in the blast
furnaces of the north Of England. The
war retarded the rounding out of the
three-shift system in England; but in
March, 1919, those furnaces and other
branches of the steel industry which
had not already done so went over
to three shifts; and the three-shift
system is the accepted practice
throughout the English steel industry
and is working to the satisfaction Of
all concerned.
In Belgium an agreement was en-
tered into between the employers and
workers by which, beginning with Jan
uary 1, 1920, the eight-hour day was
to be observed at blast furnaces.
In France a law of April %, 1919,
established the principle Of the eight
hour day, leaving to public administra-
tive regulations the fixing of the con-
ditions under which the principle
should be applied. Without waiting
for such regulations to be issued, how
ever, the French employers and en-
ployees in the metal industry and a
number Of other industries, made
their own agreement to 90 into effect
on June 1, 1918.
In Germany the law also limits the
working day to eight hours, subject
to such exceptions and conditions as
may be defined by decree or admins
trative order.
In Sweden the forty-eight-hOur week
is generally applied in iron works
In Spain the eight-hour day was first
adopted by agreement for iron and
metal workers in a long list of cities,
and then, effective October 1, 1919,
the eight-hOur day was established by
royal decree as the general rule for
all industries.
In Italy there is an agreement limit
ing time in the iron and steel industry
to eight hours a day.
In Japan, according to Hiroshi
Iwaia of the Mitsubishi Steel company,
the three-shift system is the prevail
ing tendency in the steel industry. 1t
has been adopted in his cOmpany's
blast furnaces, Open-hearth furnaces,
rolling mills and coal mines.

Federation Too Revolutionary.


Severance Of relations between the
American Federation Of Labor and the
International Federation of Trades
Unions was based principally on the
failure Of the constitution Of the lat
ter organization to protect the "cOm-
plCte autonomy" Of its members. This
was made clear in the letter sent by
Samuel GOmpers, president of the
American Federation to Jan Oudegeest,
secretary Of the International at Am
sterdam, recently made public. Other
considerations enumerated by Mr..
GOmpers were:
"That through the issuance of ap-
peals and prOClamations the executive
body of the International Federation
had committed the federation to a
revolutionary principle to which the
American Federation is and always
has been unCompromisingly opposed,
and to which no labor movement
guided by democratic ideals could give
approval.
THAT a system of dues had been
adopted which would place upon the
American Federation Of Labor a heavy
and unbearable expense"

Army FIiers Eager to Bomb Warships

A RMY aviatOrs are eager to fight a
"A real duel with the navy. While
admirals and generals have been ad-
Vancing and disputing claims that the
airplane is far superior to the battle
ship as a war weapon, army pilots
have flooded the office of the air serv-
ice director with pleas that the mat
ter be settled under real war condi-
lions.
They have been all wrought up since
JOsephus Daniels, then secretary of
the navy, offered to stand bareheaded
on a deck Of a battleship and let
Brigadier General Mitchell, head of
the air service in the war, take a
crack at him with a bombing airplane.
Lieut.. c. G. MOseley, victorious pilot
in the recent airplane race at Mineola
field for the Pulitzer trophy, would be
''tickled pink. at the opportunity of
a real fight with the navy gunners.

AUTO INDUSTRY LEADS ALL
Shows Greatest Increase in Re-empIoy-
ment of Workers, According to
Recent official Report.

Net decrease of about 1925 in the
number Of persons employed in the
United States was shown during Feb
ruary, the Department of LabOr's en-
plOyment service announced.
The monthly report said 1923 firms
in the sixty-fve principal industrial
centers employed on February %, l.
626,958, compared with 1,643,253 on
January 81. This was a net decrease
Of 1925, or about l per cent.
Some increases were shown. They
were 1873 per cent in factories max
ing autos and other "land vehicles"
8.5 in textile factories, and IT per
cent in factories dealing with leather
products. Decreases were shown Of
7.8 per cent in the iron and steel in
dustries, &c per cent in railroad re-
pair shops, per cent in chemical
plants and 81 in producers of liquor
and beverages.
Chattanooga, Tenn, showed the
greatest increases with 67.6 gain,
while Detroit gained 34.7 per cent and
others showing employment increases
were Peoria, H., JOhnstown, Pa, and
Bridgeport, Conn.
New England reports showed gen
eral improvement. Unemployment and
part time employment were most prev
alent in the textile, shoe, machinery,
metal and building industries. The
New England textile mills are reCOv-
ering.
Labor conditions generally in Ohio,
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and WisCOn-
sin indicated improvement, with pros
poets of further betterment. Mime
sofa, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Kan
sas and the DakOtas also reported an
improvement. Public works and build
ing activities helped there.

made, many others will be annOun ed
during the next few months, while
still others will be made as the terms

The first fruits from the shaking
Of the official plum" tree were cabi-
net officers whose salaries are $4,000

tiers at $4,000 each; assistant Secre-
taries, federal judges, attorneys and
marshals, customs collectors, members
Of various government boards and
commissions and pOstmasters by the

roll of Mr.. Harding are the appOintive
perquisites of Vice President Coolidge,
whose immediate appointments com
prise only his secretary, clerk, page
boy and private telegraph operator.

gram to the Pacific Steamship associa-
ton against any arbitrary action by
either side in the present labor con-
troversy.
Upon termination of the marine

asked to join in a notice to the labor
unions of a reduction in wages and
change in working conditions effec-
tive Immediately.
However" the chairman said, ''be-
lieving that the subject could be bet
ter approached in a spirit of cO-opera-
ton and fairness and that some method
might be worked out with labor where

preston, wire was sent to the steam

UIASHINGTON.-No American rights
w have been surrendered because of
the war and none of them will be
surrendered. This tersely expresses
the basis Of the Harding foreign policy
as outlined today by an authoritative
official of the new administration.
Although no positive assertion was
made, it was clearly indicated that at
the proper time the United States
would have an influential spokesman
to present its cause before the league
and to stand rigidly for Americas
claim that it aided to bring about the
victory over Germany and will not sur
render any American rights protected
by that victory.

St. Louis May Have Labor Bank.

A labor union bank probably will be
established in st. Louis within the
next two months if plans formulated
by the three executive committees of
the Building Trades council, Central
Trades and Labor union and Metal
Trades council are Endorsed by their
respective organizations.
The institution will be organized as
a trust company, with an installment
loan department. A capital stock of
100000 and a surplus of S135,OOO'
with shares sold on the installment
plan at 1925 a share, is the general
outline of the contemplated project.
1t is expected that a majority of the
stock will be concentrated in the hands
of trade unions, so as to allow them
control of the directorate.

No General Strike in Britain.

A big labor conference in London,
England, turned down by an over"
whelming majority a suggestion to
strike in order to force the government
to take action toward relief for the I'm.
employed. The conference also de,
feated a proposal for a one day pro
test strike" to influence and intensity
parliamentary action.
J. H. Thomas and other labor lead
ers ridiculed both ideas, which, they
said, would be increasing unemplOy-
ment for the purpose of relieving un,
employment.
