SEYMOUR TO INVFSTIGA ATE

Has Imperial Valley child labor
! problem? In its issue of January 8,
the Literary Digest, one of the most
widely read magazines in America,
published extracts from an exhaustive
article appearing in the "American
Child" organ of the National Child
Labor Commission, in which it is stat
ed that child labor is common in the
valley. The article was written by
Miss Emma Duke, statistical research
worker for the National Child Labor
commission.
The Associated Chambers of Com
merce thought the article of sufficient
Importance to require investigation,
and instructed their secretary, Joseph
r. Seymour, to make such investiga-
tion
Mr. Seymour has copy Of the mag
azine containing the full report of
Miss Duke. Upon the urgent request
of the Community Forum program
committee, he has consented to dis
cuss the question at it's next meeting
on Monday evening, January II. Ev-
erybody interested in the welfare. of
Imperial Valley should attend this
and inform themselves as to
the actual facts in the matter. The
charge is serious one; is it true?
Mr.. Seymour is an interesting and
forceful speaker and the community
should show its appreciation of his i'm
portant work by giving him a large
hearing. Members of the local Cham
Der of Commerce, teachers and school
officials, social service workers, club
women and other public spirited peo-
pie are urged to be present. Open
discussion will follow Mr.. Seymour's
address,

LONDON. Nov s.-The Unionist
government OF Ulster province today
stood pat in its opposition TO Premier
Lloyd Georges proposals for a COM
promise with the Sinn Fein. Follow.
ing three-hour session of the Ul-,
ster cabinet IL was announced that
the ministers approved Sir James
Craigs attitude. Another meeting
will be held tomorrow.
Sir James Craig. who Is premier.
OF the Ulster government, Is undcr-n
stood to have told Lloyd George. that
the north Ireland Unionists win not
make the concessions demanded by.
the Sim Fein. Hope for a solution
has not been abandoned, however,
and II is reported that King George
may intervene in behalf of peace. p
Premier Speaks Tonight.
Lloyd George win make speech to-
night at the new lord mayors banquet
at Guild Hall. 1t Is expected that he
will deal principally with the Wash
ington conference and the Irish peace
situation. Friends OF the premier fore
cast that he would praise President
Harding for calling a world conference.
TO discuss disarmament and express
his regrets at not being able to attend
the opening session.
The newspapers agree that the pres.
ent crisis is the most serious since
the Irish peace negotiations began. In
official circles the hope Is maintained
that a way will be found to a solution.
and that Premier Lloyd George win
not be compelled to put into effect his
resignation threat.
Counter proposals to meet the Irish
compromise suggested by Premier
Lloyd George may be made by the
Ulster Unionists, IL was stated today
by the Daily Telegraph. g
King May Appeal.
King George may make a dramatic
appeal to Ulster to support Premier
Lloyd's Georges compromise Irish
peace plans In the interests of the
unity Of the British empire. Such an
appeal would enable the Ulster Union-
lists to step down gracefully from their
present position Of opposition, for they
were acting only to uphold the dignity
Of the throne. -
The premier will confer with the
Ulster Unionist cabinet tomorrow and
irrespective of the results 1t is prob
able that Parliament will be adjourn.
ed until February with speech from
the throne.
Resignation Discussed.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
the reports current in Downing street
yesterday regarding the possibility of
the downfall of the government
caused a tremendous sensation. Po-
litical leaders began to cast about to
ascertain who might succeed Lloyd
George il the Welsh statesman put
into effect his threat. They have
been unable to find anybody to meas
ure UP to the requirements. 81
Lloyd George had hoped to be able
to sail for New York on November 19
to attend the Washington conference,
but the developments Of the past two
days have clouded the horizon. There
are both international and domestic
issues requiring the closest scrutiny
by the premier.
