COOPERATIVE PLAN
ORGANIZED LABOR TO
COMBAT \. c. OF |

Cincinnati, o., May 6-Organized Ia
Dor is planning to meet the high
cost of living and profiteering by the
establishment of cooperative soci-
cites.
Plans for promoting this movement
through the trades unions in the
here today by the executive council
of the American Federation of Labor
and will be incorporated in the coun-
ellis report to the annual convention
of the federation in Denver
The council, it was learned, will ask
the Federation to endorse the work
Of the Federation's special committee
on cooperative societies and give it's
full support to the movement, which
has already gained Roadway in the
central states.
Not only can we reduce the cost
of living" said James Duncan, of
Quincy, Mass, vice president of the
federation, through cooperative so
cieties, but we can eliminate profiteer-
, ing.
I'VE can check it so far as it af-
fects but the purchase of the necessi-
ties of life and the costs thereof now
controlled by a minority.
Our Investigations show that the
| cooperative societies in Belgium,
Russia, England and Denmark have
made a wonderful success and have
been a God send to the workmen."
Mr.. Duncan said that all "other CT
items in sympathy with the trades
union movement" would be asked to
join in the cooperative plan.
The federation approves organiza-
ton of cooperative association under
the Rochedale plan, it was stated,
and will take steps to safeguard the
workers funds that are collected for
, financing the movement.
| The council, it was learned, disap-
! proves the Johnston Dillingham; i'm
! migration bill just passed by con-
gress because it does not contain the
drastic prohibitive features desired by
organized labor. The council takes
the position that at least two years

conditions and prepare the country for
new influx of immigration from
abroad. The council has also under
consideration a declaration demanded
"a square deal'' for labor until the
antitrust laws. If this can not be OBJ
tanned by legislation, the repeal of
the II anti combination and So called
conspiracy laws will be asked.
eve don't ask any special privi-
lege," said an official of the execu-
tive council, I'VE only desire the
safeguards set up in our constitu-
tional and legal structure for the pro-
lection of the workers. If these are
taken away from us then labor de-
mands immediate and sweeping re
peal of all so-called anti combination
and conspiracy laws"
! President Sampel Gompers said that
the report being prepared by the COM
mittee was being prepared with a
viwe of protecting the fundamen-
tai rights of organized and all the
people of the United States"

GUARDED WORDS
IRISH LEADER OVER
PEACE QUESTION

Dublin, May 6-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-A spokesman for the
Dali Eireann today declined to throw
further light on the Craig Devalera
meeting than what had already been
made known and said nothing addi-
tional would be published as yet.
He directed attention to the phrase
in Mr.. De Valera's proclamation
concerning devolution In home af-
fairs, however, and .intimated that
was a basis on which the Sim Fein
was willing to accommodate listers
interests in negotiating settlement
of the controversy.
This spokesman informed the cor
respondent that the Dali Eireann's
first condition for peace was united
Ireland" with full Independence.
Dominion Home Rule" he termed a
misnomer-a view subscribed to by
Captain Henry Harrison, secretary of
the Irish Dominion League, who said
that in the leagues memorial which
is to be submitted to the govern
ment the phrase dominion home
rule" had been fully excluded in
favor of "a full dominion status
which he added was quite another
thing.
The Sim Fein was willing, the
spokesman for the Dali Eireann de-
clared, to give Ulster the most cdm =
plete autonomy in home affairs pro-
viding in the words of Mr.. De Valera
Ireland was not divided and was a
unit with regard to other nations and
states.
The Dublin Evening Mail an
nounces that the Earl of Derby again
is in Dublin, but that his visit is q
private one and unofficial.
The newspaper adds that the Earl
has been greatly helped in his peace
mission by the Craig-De Valera con-
ference and that he may probably
himself see De Valera and also go to
Belfast and consult with unionist
leaders.
Dublin Castle and other official
sources disclaim knowledge of the
presence of the Earl of Derby in
Dublin.

HARVEY IN COUNCIL

Washington, May 6.-President
Harding accepted today the invita-
ton of the Allied supreme council
that the United States be represent
ed at the meetings of that body as
well as those of the conference of
Ambassadors at the reparations COM
mission.
George Harvey, newly appointed
ambassador to Great Britain will sit
with the supreme council and take
part as the representative of the
President of the United States in the
deliberations of that body. Report
ing at the conference of ambassadors
in Paris and the reparations commits
sion will be unofficial. The ambas-
sador to France will be the observer
on the former and Roland w. Boy
den will sit in an unofficial capacity
on the latter.
Decision to accept the councils in
vitation was reached today at the
regular cabinet meeting and formal
White House soon afterwards the
text of the American reply to the in
vitation was made public at the State
department.
In the highest administration cir
cies it was emphasized that the ac-
ton taken today did not mean the
participation of the United States in
any project "of world government
or world league" it was said that it
was inevitable that the United States
have an advisory part in the settle
ment of the vast economic and other
problems growing out of the world
war These settlements, it was ex
planned, must necessarily affect the
United States as well as the rest of
the world.

TEXT OF REPLY

Following is the text of the reply
of the government of the United
States to the invitation from the
supreme council. 1t was delivered to
the British ambassador today:
1.-THE government of the United
States has received through the Brit
ish ambassador the courteous COM
munciation in which you state that
with the unanimous concurrence of
the powers represented at the allied
conference in Lodon, you are to in
quire whether this government is
disposed to be represented in the flu
ture, as it was in the past, at the al
lied conferences, at the conferences
of ambassadors in Paris and on the
reparations commission.
THE government of the United
States, while maintaining the tradi-
tional policy of abstention from par
ticipation in matters of distinctly
European concern is deeply interest
ed in the proper economic adjust
ments and in the just settlement Of
the matters of world wide Importance
which are under discussion in the
conferences and desires to helpfully
cooperate in the deliberations upon
these questions.
ANNOUNCEMENT that the invitation
had been accepted came late in the
day after the Senate had adjourned.
Republican senators generally, how
ever, expressed their approval while
Democratic senators gave voice to
disapproval and disappointment. Re-
publicans took the view that the
presidents representatives would
perform principally the function of
obtaining information.
Democratic senators said they were
disappointed because the president
had not decided to have the govern
ment officially participate in the de-
alterations of the councils.
Administration officials made it
rlain that Mr. Harvey would sit with
the premiers of Great Britain, France
and Italy and the representatives OF
Belgium and Japan on the supreme
council as the personal representa-
tive of the president of the United
States and not of the American
government While he will parti-
cipate in the deliberations OF the
council. he will be without authority
to bind the United States to any ac-
ton taken.
Mr.. Harvey will be in a position
to keep the president fully informed
on all subjects with which the coun-
Gil has to deal. Upon this body has
devolved the settlement of the more
important questions resulting from
the war and to it has been referred
the American protest to the League
of Nations against the award to
Japan of a mandate for the Island OF
zap.
The supreme council also is ex-
pected to take up the whole subject
on mandates which was re-opened
by Mr.. Hughes recent notes to the
governments of Great Britain
France, Italy and japan, in which he
dealt specifically with the mandate
for the Pacific islands. Many other
questions of large Importance also
are before it.
Mr.. Harvey is en- route to England
and it is assumed that he will begir
his duties as the presidents repre-
sentative on the council at the next
meeting. 1t is pointed out that by
making the new ambassador his owI

perfectly legitimate means of travel,

abides. Love is made in the hay

LIFE-ITS MOTIVE.
What we do is never so vital as why
we do it. The same action may be
wrong or right, according to what is
behind it. A man may don the uni
form in order to serve his country or
to betray her, but the uniform is pre-
cisely the same. Paul is urging upon
those cleft Corinthians who are max
ing certain manifestations the test Of
life the only sufficient motive for ev-
cry act. Yet he uses himself as the
person in peril and says 'I"-what fine
courtesy and sensitive spirit They
had been seeking the gift of tongues,
but if it were merely for itself it
might be the tones of angels and yet
be no better than changing brass. Pro-
phetic fire and the faith that would
perform wonders; the possession of
limitless power, indeed, that was held
with no sense of obligation, left the
character a mere cipher. Heroism
that makes the surrender even Of life
for gandstand effects holds no profit
for the person. The generosity of the
heather world based upon securing
merit for ones self, the immolation of
the body upon bed of spikes or the
binding of the eyes to win name
for sanctity is an every day sight in
India, yet loses all efficacy because the
motive is false. Only love is big
enough to form a sufficient basis for
a character like that of Christ. 1t is
not the fact that He was crucifed-
there were thousands of Jews who
bore the same pain-but that He did
it because He loved that has made it
the glory of the world. Never an ou-
ter form but the inner motive deter
mines value. Given love in the heart
of man or of a nation of men, and
no person or world need fear any
outer expression of the power possess
ed. Love can settle every difficulty
that humanity is struggling under
today
LIFE-ITS ATTITUDE
Given the master motive in the
heart, certain attitudes follow. It
faces the roughness of the seamy side
or life and yet handles the fabric ten
derby. 1t holds clear perception of
values, so that there is no boasting
of vanPity in the outlook. 1t is always
courteous, unselfish, self-controlled
and keeps no ledger accounts of
Sights. 1t brings no joy to know that
another has done wrong, but only sor-
row over his failure; in contrast there
is gladness with every victory that
truth wins another's life 1t covers
the faults of others rather than Cos
sips about them; is trustful rather
than suspicious; faces the possibilities
hopefully rather than despairingly,
and holds on in the hour that everyone
else is ready to give up the case in
disgust. What a life is pictured in
these sentences! And after all, the at
titude which we take toward others
is the compelling thing in what we get
from them. If it is that of goodwill

PAUL WRITES TO THE CHRIS
TIANS AT CORINTH.
l Cor. 10, Il; bib.
But now abideth faith, hope, love, these
three; and the greatest of these is
lOve.-I. Cor. 1913.
THE LETTER.
Ephesus had problems enough of its
own to keep Paul busy, but in addition
to any particular place of living there
came to him "the care of all the
churches" Galatia has pressed upon
him at Antioch, Thesalonica at Corinth
While fighting with the beasts at
Ephesus, Corinth was a continuous
cause of anxiety and the occasion of
lengthy correspondence and hasty
visit Oh Cor. 2:1; 13:D. The Corin-
thians were converted Jews, Greeks,
Romans, Asiatics, slaves and free
men, d1egs of society and little of
its cream. Nowhere else could be
found such a verigated mass-mess
we would call it today-of humanity
that carried over the scent of heath
enism into the Church of Christ. Small
wonder that Paul was uncertain about
the outcome of his work! Hearing
of conditions, perhaps from Apollos,
he wrote letter q Cor. $50 that has
been lost. Visitors brought reports
of continuous differences in the church
so that there was four-fold split
over leaders. Apollos had caught the
fancy of the Greek element probably,
and they could see no way to praise
except to discredit another, wrecking
an old idol that the new might be set
higher upon the debris. Some Juda-
izer had made vitriolic attacks upon
Paul and proclaimed Peter as the only
true leader. Another group disdain-
/ fully announced themselves as the
only Christians in the crowd and lit
tie company of Paul's friends fought
all the rest. 1t was delightful stu
alton that must have brought jeers
from the overwhelming heather sur
rounding. A delegation reached Eph-
esus with reply to the lost letter
containing a number of questions up
on which they desired the Apostles
| judgment. Our First Corinthians is
the result. Chapter seems to indi-
cate that it was near the Passover
season which would be in the spring
of 55. One of the questions to whose
answer, he set himself was that of an
other line of cleavage in the member
ship. A spiritual aristocracy was de-
veloping among them so that there
were grades or degrees of holiness
marked by the power of tongues, of
healing, of prophesy, of apostleship,
and the energies were being directed
toward the direction of certain "signs'
instead of toward the bringing in of
the Kingdom. 1t was the personal end
rather than the good of all that was
the desire of each and the goal of their
striving. Tongues" and kindred
phenomena have always been with
in reach for the church, but whatever
scattered her energies or destroyed the
body is not to be given first place in
her life. It was to this tendency that
Paul addressed the figure of the MEM
bers united in one body and penned

LIFE-ITS PERMANENCIEs.

Life grasps at temporary things
because they are the first seen. Paul
catalogues some of them that were
highly esteemed among the Corinth-
ians and eagerly sought, as merely
passing matters that would vanish in
days to come. On the other hand, the
motive of love that had become a
fixed attitude of life, would persist
forever. Life must grow and must do
it in the midst of changing world 50
that the things of yesterday are no
longer serviceable today. Oxcarts are
