TO THE NEW YEAR.

On coming, strange New Year,
What hast thou IN thy hold
For us who wait thee here
Who welcome thee in fear
How shall thy days be told
Bygone the frenzled hour

Wared is hates grievous power
Must We know hatred's dover
As through the year we 20?
Must fruit Of passing rage

Or is there heritage
OF many peaceful age
Which thou mayst safely hriugf
Hast thou within thy hand
A blessing all urg, ised
For every stricken laI d
For every war-rent strand
by heel Of tyrants pressedl
Oneoming, strange New Year
What hast thou for mankind
Grant us one word of cheer?
Or let the truth appear
And bid us he resigned,

DEMANDS INQUIRY INTO SALE OF ALIEN
 DYESTUFF PATENTS
F. P. >Garvan of Hartford. Former Custodian, Attacked in Bill
 Offered in Congress.

Washington, July 22.-Attorney- General Daughc1ty is requested Tn resolution just introduced in the House to bring legal proceedings against three former officials of the alien property custodian's office, who, it is alleged, sold to themselves SIo,ooo 900 worth of German dye and chemical patents for $25o,ooo
 The three men named ln the reSolu- ton are former Custodian Francis r. Garvan of Hartford, Conn.,, Joseph Choate and Ramsey F1Oguct.
 The resolution was introduced by Representative Frear, of Wiscinsin, republican member of the House Ways and Means committee. It was referred to the House Rules commit tee, and will be called up for consid- eration without delay, Mir. Frear sad, The text of the resolution says:
 "Nhercas, the official record of hearings before the Ways and Means committee discloses that during the year 1919 a sale of 4,ooo alien chem ical and dye patents was made by the alien property custodian 10 the Chem- ical Foundation company; and
 That said sale was conceived ana arranged by Francis r. Garvan,. os- cDh Choatc and Ramsey Hoguet, off erals or the Dul eau Ol lliN N0t 5 GU iOAA VI such custodian's office; and
 "That these officials were also re, spectivcly the president, attorney and patent adviser Of the Chemical Foun- dation company and at the same time were in charge of alien patents in the qovernmcnt office; and
 "That at such time they prepared or caused to be prepared an order wherein they were permitted to buy eaid patents at such prices as might be determined by the alient. property custodian whose advisers they were and they thereupon fixed price ot S25oooo as a consideration to be palc bv them for property winch Wa' worth over $IO,Ooo,ooo, and

DISCARD ARBITRATION LAW
 AS FUTILE IN PEACEMAKINC

The Norwegian government has proved to it's satisfactoin that com pulsory arbitration of industrial dis putcs is not workable and has decided not to renew the provisional act which has been in force since I0I0 It was passed in that year largely in order 10 deal with widespread dis puteS in the engineering, mining and supcrphosphatc industries, the intro duCtion of such a measure having been the subject of agitatoin by cn- plOycrs since 1909.
 The compulsory arbitration law was renewable annually and the per iod recently expired The decision to allow it to lapse is stated to be largely due to its unsatisfactory working in the industrial conflicts of the past year.
 When it became operative the law gave promise Oi meeting the situation that forced its enactment. The gov crnmcnt, through the new machinery brought disputants together and cf- rccted settlements which, while not always entirely satisfactory, at least served 10 effect temporary truCeS.
 Then happened the result that has always intervcncd to make COmpul- eory arbitration impracticable. The legal machinery became cloggcd when employers forced open ruptures from petty disputes, with the deliberate purpose of delaying adjustment, and the workers complained bitterly ot | the consequent injustice.
 The government met the issue by scrapping the scheme and restoring | the arbitramcnt of conflicts 10 direct negotiation between the affected in | tcrcStS.
 The Norway law has been frequent ly cited as justification of the Alier | Industrial Court in Kansas, which seeks to enforce it's penalties by crim inal prosecution for violations.

KEEP YOUR MONEY
 WORKING FOR YOU Idle Dollars Burn Hole in Your Pocket" and Tempt
 the Devils HOld-Up Men

If the old saying that "an idle brain Is the devils workshop" is true, then it may also be true that idle money is the devils tempter. Certainly idle money, which more often than not ''burns a hole in ones pocket" is not of any particular benefit to the owner It is the wise man or woman who sets his money at work for his benefit Study the habits of most of your friends who have become we'll to-do and even wealthy by the work of their own brains and hands and you will be surprised to discover how few of them carry more than a few dollars in their pockets as spending money" They have found out that it is best to keep their cash employed, turning over and over and accommodating in terest or dividends for their benefit This is the way they have forged ahead.
 Carnegie Carried Little Cash
 Few men were thriftier and few ac cumulated money as did the late An drew Carnegie, yet MT Carnegie rare ly carried much money in his pockets This led to very amusing situation on board ship one day when the Laird O. Skibo" was on his way to Scotland to spend the summer at his Scotch castle
 At the request of some of the sailors Harry Lauder dressed in his native cOStume-kilts and tartan-gave a concert before the passengers. In keeping with his promise to the sailors, at the close of the concert he passed his tam" to collect money for the benefit of the Sailors Orphan Fund |" AS MT. Lauder came up to MT Car negie the multi-million aire felt first in one pocket then in another but couldn't find a dollar Knowing Lau- der well, he leaned over and Whis- pered: Harry, put five dollars in the plate for me-" MT. Lauder smiled and seeing a fine chance to have a joke he said in a loud voice: I'm verra, vera sorry, MT. Carnegie, I canna do any thing for ye, ma breeks are in the cabin MT. Carnegie joined in the laughter that followed, as he always appreciated a good joke, even when it was "on him" Nevertheless he did not take to carrying any mere money in his pockets; he kept it at work when he was not actually using it.
 Idle Money Tempts Thieves
 Eighty four holdups and robberies involving the loss of money in sums ranging from a few dollars to a few thousand dollars were reported to the police of Boston from Aug 7, 1920, to Mar. g, 1921, and were verified, while number of other reports were traced and found to have been false. This shows one of the dangers ofatry1ng to carry idle money on the person or leave it in the house or shop where it is in danger from thieves and hold up men. Then, also, there is the risk of fire destroying 1t.
 In the same period 165 injured per sons were cared for by the police, there were about 25 violent deaths and 50 persons were stricken ill on the city

lASKER OVERRIDE LABOR SECRETARY
 IN MARINE STRIKE,
Retiring Industrial Relations Head Gives Inside Information on
 Recent Dispute.

Washington, July 22.-ScCrctary of Labor James J. Davis is severely cen sured by Dorrah De LanCcy, until re- centl ydircctor of the bureau of in duetrial relations of the Shipping Board flor the part he took in en- deavOring to affect a settlement of the strike of marine workers. De Lanccy made it clear that he was en- tirely out of sympathy with the atti- tudc of the secretary, whose course he described as undesirable, if not WOrSe."
 In his statement De I,anccy de- clarcd that immediately upO nasSun- ing office Chairman Lasker Overrulcd Davis and supported the principle flor which the bureau of industrial rcla- lions had been contending at great odds"
 This is inside information that here tofore has not been given to the pub lie. It was known that Secretary Davis had made several intellectual attempts to settle the strike. After each failure ii was stated that private shipping interests had refused to agree to any sort of compromise, but De I,ancey says that opposition was maintained by the Shipping Board, and that Chairman l.aSker was the final determining factor.
 After the marine strike had run for about three weeks and had been practically lost sight of," De L>ancey says, "thc Secretary of Labor actively interested himself in it's settlement. He strongly urged upon Admiral Ben son an agreement with the marine engineers, who were regarded as the key 10 the situation. This agreement was 10 involve substantial concessions from the wage scale and working rules announced by the Shipping Board on May I. Inadequate prOVls- ion was to be made for the protec- ton of the men who had so patrlOt1- cally responded to the appeal of the government to take the place Of the striking workers.
 For these and other reasons the course advocated by the Department of Labor seemed to the division of in dustrial relations of the Shipping Board to be most undesirable, if not actually worse. I felt constrained to oppose the settlement by all means in my power. 1 was aided in this course by a break withi nthe organization of the marine engineers which made it impossible for time for the De partmcnt of Labor to secure united action by that organization. The di- vision of industrial relations stood uncompromisingly for the IS per cent wage reduction and also for the re- tention of the strikebreakers." De Lancey resigned his post immc- diatcly after the reduction had been
 made effective, with the assistance ot Chairman Laskcr, whom he praises
 for his "frmncss."
 The bureau of industrial relations had had control of the labor policy affecting at the maximum 750,ooo mcr -38,ooo shop construction and repair men, 200, 1000 longshoremen and I5o,- | GOO officers anW crew engaged in ma rine operations. Before he left the
 division De Lancey succeeded also il l forcing a reduction of 10 per cent, 1T

 Of course, many of the victims of rob Ders had their cash restored through the efficient work of the poice-but many others did not because the rob bers escaped or spent the money be- Tore they were arrested.
 Money Lost Through Hoardinu
 Here are some examples of idle money falling into the hands of per sons who had no claim to it:
 Jan 16-Joseph Peters of 116 chandler street reported to the police that two men appeared before him in ms room and, pointing a revolver at him. took $690 which he had con cealed in his bed. They made their escape.
 Michael Lividzensh Of 29 Kirkland street was, on Feb. g, relieved of $2OO0 by strangers who played the notorious handkerchief game" on him
 A dentist and his patient, who was s1tt1ng in chair, were held up by two men in Dr. Louis Kaston's office. PFC Fremont street, Nov A, the former losing 5 or $4 and the patient about $40 ''o'
 Earle Goodnough of II Hunter street lost from $50 to s75 to two men who used gun in holding him up on New England avenue, Dec. 18
 Miss Ellen Cahill of Providence. who was a guest at A Hillside ave nue. Roxbury. was held up and robbed Of $8 in cash, a $500 diamond ring ana a S4UO fur coat as she was enter ing the door on Mar 23 Fourflushine With Money Foolish
 These are only typical instances that go to show the dangers of car rylng cash or va1uables on ones per son, especially at night when tbe money might as we'll be in bank or notorious Handkerchief game" on ing interest

Not only this, from a selfish viewpoint but it should be borne in mind that money safely invested helps l ones community, State and nation and 1 keeps more people employed at better l wages.
