LABOR AND CAPITAL
An Attempt in Novel to Show
How to Harmonize Them

Postwar relations of capital and
labor and the psychological reflex Of
the men and women who served overseas
after their return to the humdrum of
everyday life are the motifs of William
Dana Circuits THE Balance" (Stokes).
Mr.. Orcutt is not novice in the lit
erary field. though this contribution to
it does not contain anything startling.
However. readable story works in a
painstaking effort to analyze conditions
as they undoubtedly exist.
Richard Norton. son of wealthy
manufacturer Of the steadfastly con ;
servative type. returns from France to
hnd himself at odds with the economic
LIE he is asked to take up again. His
hancee, herself Il veteran with a Red
Gross record. finds herself confronted
with similar difficulties.
Richard refuses to take his place in
an easy post in his fathers plant. but
insists on joining the workers in over
ais. There. soon recognizing the
growing spirit of discomfort, he en- :
deavorS TO preach Il doctrine of fair play
for worker and employer.
In this endeavor he runs counter TO
radical labor agitators. He bewails the
apparent calousness Of Government Of
ticals TO the needs of ex-servlce men.
lie finds his arguments with his father
futile and breaks with the older man.
Comes strike riot in which the elder
Norton il murdered and the son ac-
cused. Of course. the denouement clears
the hero. wedding bells ring and young
Norton gets chance to put his eco {.
nomic theories into practice.
1t Is an interesting treatment of q
vital subject. but not done with any
apparent depth of feeling. Some of the
characterizations are excellent. espe-
cially those of two tight tistcd old New
Englanders bitterly continuing a feud
of years even beyond the grave. The
other characters. for the most part, are
nodded true to form.

to discuss a proposed alliance of -
100000 workers to fight against any
wage reductions WAS announced here

The meeting will follow closely on
the heels of the miners special con

pected to declare against acceptance

agreements with operators expire, on
March 81, and possibly asking for an
increase.

fifteen Of the sixteen major rail I'm.

Percentage Of Failures Below
That Of Former Years.

Annapolis, Nd, Feb. 13.-The an
nouncement that 10f midShipmen
found deficient in the Semi-annual eX'
aminations at the naval academy, are
to be dropped, will bring conditions in
the school back to former regulations
upon these tests.
The percentage of failures is far
below that Of former years. About
one in twenty in the whole academy
was found deficient. When the inst
tuition had about go midshipmen and
the rule of -ropping those who We're
not able to pass their tests was regl-
,arIy enforced, about forty midsh.p-
men from the four classes would se"G-
orally lie expended frGm tie Ei;.'
This would then average one in every
$.x. The largest number cf drt!,t2n 5
would be found i'll the fourth CLASS,
the class in its first year at the aca'i-
envy. But no class was exempt from
the rule, and even midshipmen in the
senior or graduating class would have
10 resign for not being able to make
The % out of the possible four in
heir examinations.
The academic board has always
been very exact in making both can
,lidates for admission and midShipmen
nasS their examinations. The rules OF
entrance has not. however, been en-
.orced with the rig0r Of the test of
passing class examinations.
