LABOR PROBLEMS REST
ON MUTUAL GOOD WILL
University President Returns
From Probe of Australian
Labor Conditions
(By United Press)


Cleveland, Ohio, Feb. 1S.-No last
ing solution to the labor problem can
be evolved unless the remedy is
founded firmly on mutual good will,
President Charles F: Thwing of West
ern Reserve University said on his
return from an investigation of la
Zealand.
Labor itself is incapable of solving
the problem. he said he was convinc-
ed from a thorough examination Of
the labor government Of Australia.
Strikes, ill-feeling and general dis
sention exists there to a larger degree
than in the United States, he said.
The work Of finding some means Of
satisfying and pacifying labor must
be started from the human and moral,
as we'll as the economic angle, he
said. No instrument based on the
economic view alone will be workable,
he said.
Laws cannot prevent strikes and
arbitration will not end them, he
said.
1.-The labor problem is more hu-
man and moral than economic" said
Thwing. 1T will not be solved un-
til there is a manifestation and
earnest practice Of good will on both
sides.
Australia is a labor government
The prime minister formerly was a
labor leader. Other government Of
ficials have been connected with the
labor movement. With all Of this,
there is more i'll feeling. dissention
and more striking than in America.
The working men are we'll organic
ed. Tie unions make demand after
demand. AS soon as one wage in
crease is granted, the unions pre-
pare for another. This is particu-
larry true Of those mines owned by
the government
The frequent wage demands are
usually granted until the public. res
tive under the burden Of increased
prices, calls halt. The same conui-
tions exist in the shipping industry
Thwing said. Boats are held up for
weeks at time while dockworkers,
stevedores and other ship workers
wrangle with the owners for higher
wages.

CITY BASKETBALL TEAM
LOSES THREE STRAIGHT
Two Hard Games at Minot
Are Responsible for Defeat
at Crookston

Bemidji's City basketball team re-
turned this morning from Minot and
Crookston, where, it has played for
the last three nights, meeting defeat
each time, the first two at the hands
of ''rea" team and the last through
the attempt to play up strong in three
games in the same number of days.
Minot won the Tuesday night game
by score Of 43 to % and the Sec
ond game by score of &c to 21. Mel
Their game belonged to either side un-
til the final whistle, the big lead in
the first game having been made in
the last few minutes of play.
" With only five men, tired out and
somewhat battered up in the Minot
,..ames, Bemidji went up against
resh team at Crookston last night
nd for the first half outplayed their
ponents in every stage of the
! ne. The score in the early part
che game was to 1 in Bemidji's
7 --:yydor and to at the end of the
first half. At the beginning of the
second half the score was again tied,
10 to 10, and then Crookston dis
played, uncanny luck at long shots
and took a safe lead. Had the Be-
midi team been in the same condi-
ton as the Crookston quint, the out
come would undoubtedly have been
q victory for Bemidji.
The locals, although defeated in all
three games, are confident that they
can defeat either of the teams on the
Bemidji floor, and arrangements are
being made for two-game series
with Minot soon. Minot fans gave
the teams hearty support and were
well pleased with the work of the
Bemidji quint as shown by the ac-
counts of the games published in the
Minot papers. The locals were
praised highly in both games, Phibbs
and Plummer being called the fastest
pair of forwards ever seen on Minot
floor.
Slightly over one hundred fans at
tended the game at Crookston last
night, indicating the popularity" of
basketball there. Those who were
in attendance however, displayed en-
thusiasm, and the fact that there was
only small crowd is undoubtedly
due to lack of advertising.
The Bemidji team will meet Ex-
celsior here Tuesday and Wednes-
day Of next weel,, and two fast games
are assured.
