Price Within Limit

Boston, Nov. 22-Workmen at the
Boston Navy Yard have voted to raise
a fund to guarantee that the cost of
reconditioning the steamship Levla-
than there would not exceed the es-
innate, Mayor Peters wrote Secretary
of the Navy Derby and Chairman
I.asker OF the Shipping Board today.

because a navy yard could give no
guarantee against cost exceeding the
estimate.
Mayor Peters said the president OF
the metal trades council had informed
him that the men voted that certain
percentage of the wages would he set
aside to create a guarantee fund.
IL believe this to be one OF the
most notable and impressive actions
ever taken by labor body" the
mayor wrote.
He pointed out that the bid Of the
local yard on reconditioning the Lc-
viathan made in May. 1920 was ST.
So. 900 below that of the only other
bidder private concern. IL tn"
work were done here, he said, It
would keep 5000 men busy for at
least a year.

Lynn, Mass. Nov. e2.-The Lynn
Shoe Manufacturers Association to.
night declined proposition sub
mitted last week by the joint council
of the United States Shoe Workers
Of America for a two months trial
of a wage cut of 20 per cent. while
the union should conduct searching
investigation into the Lynn shoe in
dustry.
The Association offered a counter
proposition 10 cut wages 20 per cent
until May, 1922, while committee
of five representatives of employers
and employees should study factory
working conditions.
The manufacturers comrnittea told
the joint council that refusal of the
union proposition was based on the
assumption that the union inquiry
into the industry would mean expos
ure Of all the secrets of the trade to
union representatives who insisted
upon examining the company's books.
The manufacturers Suggested that
the proposed committee Of five should
include one representative Of the en-
ployers. one of the joint council of
employees. an additional representa-
tive to be selected by each of the
first two and the fifth committeema n
to be chosen by the first rour or by
the state board of arbitration.
On accommodation of this COM
mittee, wages would be based begin

Arms Meet Act of
Atonement to League,
Says Cummings

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. o..-Homer
s. Cummings, former chairman Of
the Democratic National Committee,
in an address before the Woodrow
Wilson club at the Harvard Union
tonight, characterized the armament
conference at Washington as .'polit-
ical expedient, designed to meet ex-
isting conditions without offending
partisan susceptibilities or provincial
prejudices.'
The calling of this conference and
the activities of the delegates up to
the present time, is the most hearten-
!; ing thing that has occurred in Amer
lea since that dark day when the
senate opened the debate upon the
terms of the Versailles treaty." he
continued.
1.-THE general acclaim which has
been accorded to the disarmament
program is clearly indicative of an
already greatly changed popular
viewpoint. Freed from the exigen-
cies of politics and relieved of the
bedevilments of partisanship, the
better spirit of our country again
manifests itself The worlds desire
is centered upon the present confer
ence. Uncounted millions of watch
ers in every land follow it's delibera-
lions with renewed hope.
1T offers no challenge to the
League of Nations. 1t is merely at
tempting to perform part of the work
which our own country prevented
the League from performing. In that
sense, it is an act of atonement. Its
scope for beneficial action is limited,
/ but its success would be a mighty
triumph for the forebearcrs of right
If naval ornaments can be limit
cd. and terms arranged for amicable
living for those whose lands border
upon the Pacific. it will be a noble
achievement. Such an understand
ing. if it is to possess, the dignity of
a solemn engagement between ma
tions. must take the form of treaty.
Any other course would be subter-
fuge unworthy of great historic oc-
casion fraught with such consequence
to the human race.
ing. would have TO be filed by Grea
Britain and Japan with the secretar-
lat Of the League of Nations. as pro-
vded in Article NNIII of the cove
nant. 1t might thus naturally fall
within the purview of the League.
Let us hope that consideration of
party expediency will not prevent our
country from taking advantage of
any useful agency that makes for
world peace.
IF the conference in Washington
is to proceed beyond the question of
the limitation of naval arma ments,
it will be confronted with the ques-
ton of guarantees to France and by
fatal circle, the argument will le al
back to the essentials of the League
of Nations and even to the provisioa's
of Article y, itself. All these featur IS
have been brought into the cqua-
ton and they cannot be eliminated"

Harvard varsity eleven was lessened

fact that Coburn did not play foot

resumed. Mrs. Winifred Welsh, a
former employe of M. Hussey in his
Office while she wasvthere with Mrs.
Cunningham. The testimony was
completed at II o'clock and At $40
o'clock in the afternoon the case was
given to the jury.
The jury was out about an hour
and a half. Verdict for plaintiff in
the sum of $11S626.
The next case was No. $3.50, Morris
Barron VS.. Alfred Michaud. E. E.
Peacock appeared for the plaintiff
and A. G. Crafty for the defendant.
This action grew out of an automo-
bile transaction between the defend
| ant in this case and Harry Brisk.
The defendant bought a second
hand automobile of Harry Brisk. He
gave in part payment a check for
$115. Brick turned the check over
to the plaintiff in this case, who stat
ed that he left it with his bank for
| collection as it was dated the 18th
/ of August, several days ahead. The
10th payment was stopped on the
! check. The check was offered in evil
dence. The plaintiff testified that he
was owing Brisk $50 for a boiler;
that he took this check from Brisk
and gave him cash $65. The de-
| PENDANT testified that he bought a
car of Brisk, gave him the check in
! part payment, and $50 in cash; that
Brisk wanted a larger payment in
| cash as he had to divide with an
| other man, and told him that Barron
was in on the car, was interested in
,, it. Before the check matured the
car was returned, as the defendant
stated it was not as represented, and
payment stopped on the check. This
suit followed. Verdict for defendant
