WASHINGTON. Oct. 3.-The report
Of the sub committee of the Senate
Education and Labor Committee on
the West Virginia situation. which
will be completed soon, viii rec
ommend the establishment of ma
tional board fo. the settlement of dis
putes between employers and employees.
Senator Kenyon, who is chairman of
the -committee, is seeking to ar
range for the early completion OF the
hearings. He is working on a plan
which he hopes to see embodied in the
report of the subcommittee, for the
establishment of what he terms IAN
industrial supreme court
President Harding is evincing great
interest in conditions which have been
found in the Mingo regions of West
Virginia by the sub-comm ttee and
has talked the matter over at length
with some of the members He is
known to be deeply interested in the
idea of working out system which
will mean the peaceful settlement of
industrial disputes 1t is too early to
to the plan expected to grow out of
the sub committees Investigations.
However, there are strong indications
that the Administration will get be-
hind a plan Tor the settlement of such
disputes if q measure can be evolved
which seems to be workable and which
could get through Congress-
The plan on which Senator Kenyon
is working would establish a great
board or commission as national
body and then provide for the naming
by that commission of boards of ex-
perts to consider disputes in any given
industry
II, for instance, there was trouble in
the steel industry, men familiar with
the conditions in that industry would
be put on a board TO learn the facts
and report to the national commission
1t would be the business Of the ma
tlonal commission to consider and lay
down certain general principles for the
conduct of industries, so far as rela-
tlons of labor and capital are con.
cerned, and then determine whether
these principles were being followed
Publicity complete disclosure Of the
facts to the public-would be the rem
edy relied on. The idea of forbddina
any strike pending an investigation
say for thirty days. is being consid-
cred, though such plan has always
met the opposition of organized labor
II, as expected. a feasible plan can
be presented to Congress as the out
growth of the Mingo inquiry, it prom
ises to become one of the conspicuous
subjects of consideration by the House
and Senate the coming winter

anxious TO have this measure adopted
and is opposed to the adjournment of
the extra session before the railroad

As it Will in all probabli lity be out
of the question to pass the railroad

recently that Congress would quit
November 10, just before the confer

Back Of the movement to have Con
gress wind up November 10 there is
a sentiment. which is shared by some
clements in the Administration, that
Congress ought not to be in session
when the arms limitation conference
meets, because of the fact critics OF
the conference program might turn
loose their verbal batteries in House
and Senate and cause embarrassment.
It has been represented that the Presi-
dent would he glad to see Congress ad-

that Congress should not be here when

In any event President Harding. it
is understood, is much more desirous
of seeing the railroad credit bill and
other needed legislation pass than he
is to have Congress out of the way
during the conference The result will
be undoubtedly that just as soon as
the tax bill, the treaties and the beer
bill are out OF the way the railroad
bill will be pressed
Senator Cummins, chairman of the
Interstate Commerce Committee, CON

The military authorities. however.
according to dispatch TO 81 he Times

The drilling of troops is in no wise

Clever posters announcing all

the exception at the Womens Col
lege. The poster announcing the
peanut party on Saturday evening
was especially good The party was
as much fun as the poster promised
that 1t would be. Miss Marian Rod
ney '22 was leader OF the revels.
The guests were first invited to hunt
the peanuts, which were hidden In
the hiarium. Peanuts yielded them
selves from the fire fireplace. the
mantlepiece. under the piano, from
chairs and every other hiding place.
Then there were several races with
peanuts as the implements of war
fare" Miss Vesta Goodwin '25 won
the prize for carrying the most pea
nuts from one end OF the hilarium
to the other on a knife in the time
OF three minutes. Miss Mary Brad
ley '25 won the prize for making the
longest list OF slang words In five
minutes time. Each guest had been
requested to bring a package which
contained something OF no value to
her. These packages were auctioned
Off and bought with peanuts. Bid
ding was fast and furious. Thous-
ands of peanuts were offered by the
anxious buyers. The packages con-
tanned many and varied articles-a
much-used cake Of soap, bent hair
pins, torn handkerchief. old hair
nets and even an old curling iron.
After the party the Freshmen. as
usual. brought order out OF chaos
and made the hilarium spic and span
again before going to their rooms.
The first real snow OF the season
was quite a treat. Everyone enjoyed

some enjoyed snow ice cream, some
