70 PUT END TO
INDUSTRIAL WAR
Federal Organization Working
for Cancellation Urged by
Secretary Davis.
"APPEAL TO PUBLIC OPINION"
Point Made Is That Disastrous Sus-
pensions of Work Can Be Avodea
If Facts Were Laid Before
the People

Extension Of the conciliation service
or settle such great industrial con-
flictS as those in the coal, railroad and
textile industry was proposed by Sec
retary of Labor Davis in the recon-
mendations accompanying his annual
report. The secretary suggested an ap-
preparation of $1,OOO,OO0 a year to pro-
vide a federal organization that could
by peace-making efforts avert disas-
trous suspensions of work in industry.
He pointed out agreements under
which industrial peace had been main
tanned for years in the packing-house
industry, the California oil industry
and the copper industry as instances
or the success of a federal concilia-
tiOn program.
The secretary said: Great disputes
between capital and labor ultimately
are settled by public opinion. A cor
rect public opinion of them cannot be
formed when the public has not all the
essential facts necessary to form an
opinion. The pubic knows that olten
alleged facts are presented in public
speech or announcement which are not
the true facts, and therefore the public
often hesitates In reaching a cOnclu-
sion With the proper sort Of organiza-
tion in the Department of Labor it
would be possible not only to bring
contending elements together before
break in most cases, but also in every
instance to give the public the true
facts from unprejudiced sources which
would bring about q speedy crystal
ization of public opinion as to the
merits of the dispute. The very fact
that the contenders realized that the
public would get the true facts would
make them hesitate to come to a
break"

WILL REORGANIZE

One big industrial union of all
workers employed in the packing
houses of the St. Louis Packers As
sociation is being formed to demand
the return Of the eight hour day, time
and-a-half for overtime. This is part
of a nationwide campaign to union
ize the packing house workers on an
industrial basis by the Amalgamated
Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen
of North America. The important
strike in the st. Louis market last
winter was lost, it is claimed, because
too many unions were involved. All
workers of any trade in the meat in
dustry are being enrolled in the new
union.

CITY Official Has Close Call

Municipal Court Clerk Jas. Grady,
his wife and baby, narrowly escaped
death Sunday afternoon when the
automobile in which they were riding
was struck by an east-bound Pennsyl-
vania passenger train at the Third
street crossing. The machine was
standing at the crossing, being held
up by switch engine, and started
across the track in response to the
watchman's signal when the unnoticed
passenger train struck it and swung
it around, without upsetting it or in
juring the occupants. The car was
badly damaged.

SITUATION Is SERIOUS

The telephone situation in Newark
is serious, probably more so than
many people realize. Unless a life
line is thrown to the perishing COM
pany it will surely be forced into the
hands of a receiver and be wiped out
of existence Should this catastrophy
occur it is more than probable that
the Bell Company, which has per-
petual telephone franchise in New
ark, will be the purchaser, and that
the service rates for the new company
will be fixed by the state public utili-
ties commission. Should such be the
case Newark subscribers will un-
doubtedly be compelled to pay much
higher rate than any proposed by the
several ordinances which have been
voted down by the city council.
The financial condition of the tele-
phone company has been thoroughly
investigated by a citizens committee
composed Of representatives chosen
from labor organizations, service
clubs, the manufacturers association
and the chamber of commerce. These
representatives. were fairly chosen
and appointed at regular meetings
of the bodies they represent, and the
statement of Mr.. Bush at the council
meeting Monday night that the cit
zens committee was organized and
controlled by the telephone company
and was being used by it to further
its own selfish ends, is not so and is
without foundation. A large proper
ton of the members of this commit
tee at the time of their appointment
were opposed to any increase in rates,
but before their Investigations were
completed they became convinced that
the telephone company was undoubt-
edly entitled to an advance over the
rate established in 1910, and so ex-
pressed themselves in a comprehen-
sive report, signed by the committee,
recommending a graded scale from
S1.75 per month for four party resi-
dence phone to Sc for Individual bus
mess service. The ordinance intro
duced in compliance with their re-
quest was voted down by the council.
The Leader is not controlled by the
telephone company, neither is it un-
der the domination of any man or
body of men, but it believes in fair
play, and governed by this belief it
honestly thinks that a business or
corporation is entitled to and should
receive a sufficient revenue to pay
running expenses and a fair return
upon the investment, which is far
from being the case in this instance.
This being proven fact it does not
hesitate to back up the committees
report and go on record as favoring
granting the much needed and de-
served increase asked for.

ORDERED CkvELL SHOT
Blame for Nurses Execution
Placed on Won SauberzWeig.

Londonderry for the exc
cuticn of Edith Cavell, the British
nurse shot during the war in Brussels,
has now definitely baen placed at the
door Of General Won Sauberzweig, ac-
cording to the Brussels correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph.
The death of Miss Cavell has gen.
orally been attributed To General Won
Kissing, at that time governor of Brus-
sells, but letter from Baron Won der
Lancken to the German foreign secre-
tary, which has but recently been
made public, relieves that official Of
| this slur on his name, the correspond
emit writes.
| 1t Is also established that General
Won Sauberzweig had the power to
stay the execution in order to give
time for an appeal to the emperor for
mercy. To accomplish this, General
Won Sauberzweig would have had only
to withhold his confirmation of the
sentence of the court-martial.
Baron Won der Lancken was in
Brussels at the time as an observer
for the German imperial chancellory.
He wrote the following letter:
''I'he Cavel affair IS known to your
excellency In all it's details. The eff
feet of II has been what I predicted to
Won Sauberzweig in an interview
had with him without, however, being
able to shake him from his point of
view regarding the opportuneness Of
Che execution"
General Won Sauberzweig, as Sue
cessor to General Won Kraewel, WAS
ordered to Institute reign Of terror
in Brussels. the correspondent de-
clares, and throughout his administra-
ton arrests arr, eondemnations fol-
lowed one another without cessation.

In addition to the provisions of the

tain changes have been made in the
law under which the federal land

Heretofore the maximum amount
which might be loaned to any indivi-
dual by the federal land banks has
been $4,000. This has been increased
to $4,000. Also the purpose for
which mortgage loans may be made
has been broadened to include the
of any existing indebted

The federal reserve act is amended
by broadening the definition of what
is called agricultural paper, making
it include the grading and processing
Of agricultural products by co-opera-
i've marketing associations. Hereto
fore the federal reserve banks have
not been permitted to discount agri-
cultural paper for longer period
than six months. This period has
been increased to nine months
