eral proposition, but were pronounced
not helpful by the Democrats. The
Presidents reference to nationaliza-
ton of the Kansas Idea and the cre-
alton of an industrial court created un-
easiness all around. The opinion was
expressed that II is preferable to let a
sleeping dog alone. Regret was cx-
pressed that the labor problem should
be opened up at the beginning of
winter with so much unrest already
prevailing.
Suggestions made by Mr. Harding
with reference to contemplated tariff
revision were ridlculcd by tho Demo-
Gratis, who utterly opposed the plan

of the legislative and the tariff board.
