HISTORY PROFESSOR
 TALKS ON KENTUCKY
Dr. Shortrdge Says Clever Polid.
 cal ManeuVerS Saved Union

Iowa City, la, May 11.-Had Ken lucky joined the seeding states there would probably have been z dissolution of the Union," pr. Wilson Porter Shortridge. professor of his | tory at the University of Louisville Louisville, Ky, told the Mississipp Valley Hostorical association at its meeting here today. "A false move on the part of the president or the Union leaders in the state, would have meant that Kentucky would have gone with the lower south" said pr. Shortridge. who compared the DO sition of Kentucky at the outbreak of hostilities to the attempt of the Unit ed States to maintain armed neutral ity during the World War, and traced the transition Of the state to armed neutrality and finally to participation in the war for the union. He spoke in part as follows:
 Impulse To Secede
 "The impulse to follow the cotton states into secession was very strong in 1860-61, and 1t was only by very skillful political maneuvering that this action was delayed until after March 4. 1881. Even then it required the exercise of great tact on the part of President Lincoln to keep Kentucky in the Union.
 Relations On Both Sides
 'The fact that KentuCkians were related by blood to the people of both slave and free states and that Ken lucky was intimately bound to both sections by economic ties had great
 influence in determining the attitude of the state in 1861. The method used was an attempt at neutrality between the sections similar in some respects to the attempt of the United States to maintain neutrality between 1914 and 1917. Kentucky declared neu- trality partly because public opinion in the state was not crystallized i'm partly because of the hope that by preserving neutrality between the sec tions Kentucky might act as 3. media tor In bringing hostilities 10 an end. As the difficulties of maintaining neu trality increased, Kentucky passed in to a position of armed neutrality. This position was one step in the crysta llization of public opinion in Kentucky and the eventful outcome of the war was in large measure de pendent upon the outcome of the sit uation in Kentucky. This fact was recognized and fully appreciated by President Lincoln.
 "The question of the preservation of the Union was suspended at different times by very slender threads, but perhaps none was more slender than that regarding the position that Ken lucky should ultimately occupy. For that reason the story of the struggle first to maintain neutrality in Ken lucky and then to bring public opin- ion sa fely from neutrality to partici- pahon in the struggle between the sections has great importance in Am erican history"

URGES PASSAGEO
 SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
William ]. Conlen Of Philadelphia
 Addresses Trade Convention

Philadelphia, May l1,--Prompt pas sage Of the ship subsidy bill now pending in congress and subsequent abolition Of the United State Ship ping board were urged by sNillam I. Conlen, of Phila., proctor in admiralty m an address before the National Foreign Trade convention here today.
 MT Conen also recommended that permission he given to railroads to again own and operate steamship lines in foreign trade and urged that Am erican navigation laws be amended and clarified.
 Speaks On Bill.
 or the ship subsidy bill he said: "1he bill requires prompt action. Further delay Of our shipping situa- ton spells disaster" .Mr. Conlen de- clared that the United States Shipping board was now called upon to formu- late proposals to congress for putting American shipping once and for all upon sound working basis and at the same time to dispose of the vast quantity Of tonnage on hand to a peo- pie who want to known what congress intends to do before they buy the shipping boards vessels.
 Against Shipping Board.
 In the midst of formulating its plans for the future, he said, the ship ming board finds itself with a plan on hand for immediate action calculated to destroy its own constructive ideas.
 Tt is no wonder that serious con- sideration is given to the thought that perhaps the hest solution of all would be the complete abolition of the board" Mir. Conlen added.
 We have no need in America of supervisory bureau for the trade of private merchants. We have no need Of body with eX-regulatory powers which will settle into mere routine and fetter shipping with red tape.
 Obliterate Board.
 Tt is certain that general assent is now given to the proposition that the sooner the board and it's allied c6r- poration (thc Fleet Corporation) cease to function as owners and opera tors, the quicker will the results now sought to be obtained manifest them selves"
 MT. Conlen referred to the blight which fell on American shipping ac- tivities in the Pacific" in consequence of the aboishment of special rates on through shipments and legislation di- rail and water transportation. He declared that it was high time that railroads be accorded the right to own and operate steamship lines in foreign trade.

CHILD LABOR LAW DECLARED
 UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Washington. May 16-Handins down decision, which reverts to antibellum conditions, the Supreme Court of the United States held that the Child Labor Law is unconstitu- tional. It also held that the law leyying a tax of 20 cents per bushel on grain gambling is unenforceable.
 The original Child Labor Law pro hibited the employment of children under a certain age limit and was directed against the Cotton mills and other institutions employing children. This law was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, holding that employment Of children was strictly state matter and that Congress had no jurisdic- tiOR.
 Not satisfied with labor conditions Congress then enacted the present Child Labor Law which prohibits the interstate commerce of child labor products and this Congress sional enactment the Supreme Court also holds unconstitutional.

GENOA CONFERENCE STANDS
 A DESOIAATE HULK

Genoa May 16-The Economic Conference, heraided turnout the world as a meeting of minds out of which would arise the rejuvenation of Europe and new order of inter national accord and peace, today stands as a dcsClate halk.
 Out of weeks of negotiations. in which the allies have tried to outwit each other in the Russian grab fest. there has come only the treaty or Rapello, between Germany and Rus sia, virtually recstablishiDg the old order of balance of power.
 While the allies were busy dccid- ire who would get the meat of the nut after Russia was cracked, Rus sia and Germany allied themselves in commercial treaty which ignor- ed the assumptions of the arrogant allies and thereby caused the allies TO little concern. With the Wran- gle fiasco still fresh in French mem ory it is not likely that another ex- pedition will be sent to force allied views.
 With independent action between Germany and Russia established the allies see their ambitions threateheu and so determined to continue dis cussion of Russian rehabilitation at the Hague. without Russian repre- sentation. After the allies have decided upon the pafeeltng Of Rus sian resources there is the remaining probability that the Russians Will assert their own self determination and decide for themselves how their resources shall be developed.
