tices Of the Supreme Court and tho
State Industrial Commissioner would be
empowered to handle hbor disputes.
In more aggravated situations, or in

Community Clubs

To the Editor Of the Everir1 Public LEDGER:
Sir-T have read several letters In the
Peoples Forum department from strangers
In this city who suggest the forming or a
strnngsrs' club. This would be entirely
impossible. for there are 10 many thou
sands OF strangers or recent residents OF
this city that II would not be possiols TO
collect them In one or even few clubs.
The only way can see out OF tho situa-
tion would be to establish what might be
called community clubs. in which all those
unacuudintcd In this city and who feel
lonesome could become members and there
form little sets OF their own among those
WHO would lnd themselves conseniaL
Or what might co a better way to help

bic and which they would help TO support

! feel that somsthins should be done for
this Glars. and thero is no better way than
tErorBE the Christian associations, but
these associations should be conducted under
diflerent plan from that at present fol-
lowed, for do not feel that there is the
hoine spirit In tho present associations that
should exist in them, but they are rather In
clined TO let everybody help themselves
rather than to make an effort 60 help them.
There should be committees appointed as a

Every one knows that conditions are dif-
