NATIONAL LEGISLATION

Not a great deal of legislation was
passed by the Republican congress
during the last two months Of Presi-
dent Wilson's administration. The
President vetoed the bill to revive the
War Finance corporation on January
2, and congress promptly repassed It.
On January II, $7,1GO,O0O was appro-
priated for enforcement of prohibition.
The house decided, on January 10, that
its membership should not be in
creased. After much debate congress
set the limit Of the regular army at
10000 men. Mr.. Wilson vetoed the
measure, but it was passed over his
veto. On February 26 the President
signed the Winslow bill, making avail
able to the railroads $370,0OO,OOO from
the government guarantee fund.
President Harding called congress
in extra session on April IL and nearly
all the rest of the year it was busy
with the task Of redeeming the pledges
Of the Republican party, with what
success must be left to individual
judgment. Among the first bills passed
were emergency tariff and immigra-
ton acts; new army bill cutting the
army down to 10000; and the budget
bill. On April 80 the senate adopted
a resolution declaring the war with
Germany and Austria at an end; on
June Ii the house adopted a resolu-
ton of similar purport, and the meas
ure was finally passed on July and
signed the next day by President
Harding. Repeated efforts to pass a
soldiers bonus bill came to naught,
but soldiers relief bureau was Gre
ated on August 2 and Col. C. r. Forbes
was made it's director. The house
passed both d tax revision bill and
tariff bill, but the senate did not get
around to the latter. The tax meas
ure was enacted into law on Novem-
Der Fl.
Among other important measures
passed were bill to exempt American
coastwfse shipping from payment Of
Panama canal tolls; bill for govern
ment regulation of the packing indus
try; the s4S,5Oo,O0O shipping board
deficiency bill : the billion-do1lar farm
exports credit bill; and various meas
ures relating to enforcement Of the
prohibition amendment, including one
forbidding the manufacture and sale
of beer as medicine.
The extra session came to an end
on November %, and on December 5
congress met for the regular session.

SPORTS

1t was a great year for sports. In
all lines there was activity and pros
perity, and international contest q

Organized baseball, which had sui.
fered from the White Sox scandal
rehabilitated itself by the appoint
ment Of Judge Landis as supreme ar.

spectfvely, and In the series for the

lowers. In January the national con-
!! ference Of state manufacturers asso-
Citations pledged support for the open
shop movement. On the last day Of
that month the railway executives
asked that the national working agree
ments be abrogated; the railroad
brotherhoods appealed to President
Wilson to prevent wage reductions but
he refused to interfere. BY order Of
the railway labor board some Of the
working agreements were terminated
on July / and q wage cut averaging II
per cent was put into effect. The rail-
ways later announced they would ask
further wage cuts. The membership
of the brotherhoods decided by vote
that a strike should be called on Octo-
Der 80, but nine allied unions refused
to support such strike, and on an:
nouncement by the board that 1t would
not consider wage cut requests until:
all working rule questions had been,
decided the strike order was Cancelled.
On December the board reconstructed
the working rules so that the open
shop principle was recognized.
In the packing industry there was q
wage reduction In March and strike
was narrowly averted. In September
the large packing plants installed the
shop representation system and in No
vember, under this plan, the employees
consented to a further reduction Of 10
per cent. The meat cutters repudiated
this and called strike on Dec. 8.
There were many minor strikes,
most Of them short lived. Samuel
Gompers was reelected president Of
the American Federation Of Labor
which held It's convention in Denver
In June.
+, Great Britain's coal miners went on
strike on March / and for nearly four
months the nations Industries were
near collapse. The rail and transport
workers refused to go out and the
government would not yield to the
demands that the mines be national
lied, SO the miners returned to work
,on June % without having gained
much.

Heavy Taxes, Chaotic Financial
Conditions and Minor Wars
Hamper Recovery in 1921.
HOPE COMES NEAR ITS END
Limitation the Most Important
Event-What President Hard
ing's Administration and
the Congress Have ..:-.-
Accomplished.
BY EDWARD w. PlCkARD


Back to Normally was the slogan
Of 1921, not only in America but in
all the civilized nations of the world.
But minor wars, internal economic dis
turbances, chaotic financial conditions
in Europe, widespread unemployment,
famine in Russia and other hindrances
made progress in the right direction
slow, excepting, perhaps, in the United
States.
When the year opened the peoples
were grooming under the burden Of
taxation and depression resulting from
the World war. AS it drew to q close
they were still grooming but had hope
fully turned their eyes toward Wash
ington, where the Representatives Of
great powers were negotiating inter-
national agreements that would elm
mate some Of the causes Of war, es-
pecially in the Far East, and limit
the means Of making war. In the
success Of this conference and Of 9TH
ers that might grow out Of it lay for
the time being the hope Of humanity.
Efforts to enforce the terms Of the
treaty Of Versailles resulted In con-
ficts among some of the new nations
created by that pact, and several Of
the older nations were involved in
warfare. Germany, working fast to
recover her old position in the world
Of commerce, was hampered by the
disastrous decline in the value of the
mark, and her leaders protested con-
tinually that she could not possibly
pay the war indemnity. Peace negoti-
ations between the British government
and Sim Fein were brought to a sue
cessful conclusion by which the Irish
Free State was constituted.

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

The League Of Nations, though
functioning without the cooperation
Of the United States, accomplished
much during the year, chiefly through
its council, which met in Paris on
February Fl and Immediately referred
proposed amendments to the covenant
to committee. President Wilson,
who during January had withdrawn
the American representatives from the
council Of ambassadors and the repa-
rations commission, on February %
sent to the league council strong
protest against the inclusion Of the
island Of zap in territories subjected
to the mandate Of Japan, and also
formally demanded for America
voice In the disposal Of the former
German colonies. The council in re-
ply said 1t was not concerned with
the ALLEGATION Of zap to Japan and
invited the United States to take part
in discussions concerning the Turkish
and African mandates. A month after
the Republican administration took
office Secretary Of State Hughes reit-
Grated Mr.. Wilson's stand concerning
Zap and mandates in general, and
later France and Italy Endorsed Amer
ica's position In the controversy over
the island, though Japan formally re-
fused to give up her mandate. There
after that dispute was the subject of
long drawn-out negotiations between
the United States and Japan which
led to treaty by which the United
States was assured equal rights in
Yap and other islands inundated to
Japan.
The council Of ambassadors In Janu-
airy. gave Germany more time to dis
arm, appointed commission to pass
on Austria's economic status, decided
that Latyla and Esthonia should be
recognized as sovereign states, and
then fixed the German reparat1ons at
226,O00, 100000 gold marks, payable In
annual installments, and II per cent
tax on exports during the period Of
payment. This PREPARATIONS decision
created CONSERVATION In Germany and
Berlin at once began efforts to per
suade the United States to intervene
In her behalf. The Wilson tdministra-
ton made no response, but on April
2 Secretary Hughes Informed Ger
many the United States would not
countenance her escaping full respon-
sibility for the war or getting out Of
paying to the limit Of her ability. A
few days earlier, Berlin having failed
to make the first payments, French
troops occupied Dusseldorf, Duis-
burg and Ruhrort. The British OBJ
jected strongly to this independent |
action and France withdrew. It would |
be tedious to detail the negotiations /
over the reparations bill. Suffice It to !
say that Germany, with Doctor With /
as chancellor, was compelled to &C.

preme council, made the payments due

many economists agreed that to drive

be disastrous to the rest Of the world.

was increasing talk Of arranging
moratorium of two to three years for
her. France was the chief obiector
to such delay, as she relied on the
money due her from Germany, but

LABOR AND INDUSTRIAL

Two strong tendencies In the world
Of labor marked the year In the United
States. One was toward reduction
of wages, as a part Of the return to
normally ana the other was toward
the establishment Of the open shop.
Naturally. both were contested by or
gained labor, not wholly successfully.
The railway executives took the lead
in both movements. but had many fol-.
