itself on record not only as a supporter
of the conference on limitation of arma-
ments, but also as an agency which will

Of November II, Armistice day. at which
organized labor will publicly proclaim
it's support of the aims Of the limita-
ton Of arms parley.

Mr.. Woll appealed to the delegates
on the ground that labor not only had
suffered in the past from war, but also
had always inherited a portion Of the
burden Of readjustment, especially in
the payment Of debts incurred from
war.
Opposition to the demonstration
cropped up from the delegation Of
machinists. supported by renresenta-
tives of the painters and walters. 1t
was pointed out that the personnel of
the American delegation did not meet
with all wishes of organized labor
and that the program would not be
in keeping with the safeguarding of
the policy of the republic.
John B. Colpoys and Frank j. Cole
man led the supporters Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor program for
the support of the parley. Both made
addresses from the floor on the sub

sumed more than two hours. The re-

What Are You Going To Do
About 1t?

The Constitutional Convention
which adjourned only few months

specific right to municipalities to pur-
chase and operate for the benefit of its
citizens. public utilities that are self.
sustaining and are paying PROPOSE
lions. This ordinance in the cOnstitu-
ton was fathered by Commissioner
Maloney and the Algiers Ferry Com
mittee.
The legislature which went into SEES
sion this week must grant the right to
the city of New ORLEANS to purchase,
maintain and operate these ferries In
this connection Commissioner Ma
loney, who is making a report to the
City Council will recommend that the
ture for the power to purchase and
operate the different ferries across the
Mississippi River from Orleans Parish.
In order to place before the Council
an intelligent report, Commissioner
Mallory had a corps of workers at the
Canal Street Ferry for more than a
month tabulating the number of
wagons, and pedestrians that cross
so that the city would know, in pur-
chasing the property the amount of
revenue it would derive from this
source.
From good authority ii was stated
that the revenues of the Canal Street
Ferries amount to more than $500 per
day, which would pay the city OF
New Orleans a handsome profit every
year and at the same time would give
the people of Algiers a cheaper rate
enjoying better service, more comfort
and cOnveniences that are denied by
the present ferry company. Commits
siOner Maloney's report will go to the
City Council in a few days. and We
are of the opinion that all the com
