I few moments later King George
called upon Ramsay Macdonald to
form the first labor government in the
history o: Britain-the first of it's kind
IN the world.
MacDonald's labor cabinet was Of
fciallv announced as follows:
Ramsay Macdonald, first lord Of
the treasury and foreign secretary.
J. r. Clynes, lord privy seal and
deputy leader Of the commons.
Lord Parmoor. lord president Of the
council

exechequer.
Arthur Henderson, home secretary
J. II. Thomas. colonial secretary.
Stephen Walsh, war secretary.
Sir Sidney oliver, India.
Brigarier General Thompson, air.
Viscount Chelmsford, first lord OF
the admiralty.
Without a shot having been fred
or a blow struck, the power and
authority of affairs In Britain passed
from the most conservative group OF
ministers guiding the destiny Of
nation to the. most advanced that
have been called to the helm Of
government.
King George, Figurehead

may well be the last of the old order,

say Macdonald, who has stood frankly
and openly for a levy upon the Ma
lions capital and putting an end to
the system that has maintained the
monarchy where II is today.
To many IN Britain, watching the
rapidly changing panorama as Il was
played out, act by act in Whitehall
and Buckingham Palace. the invita-
ton 10 the leader of the labor party
to form a government and take the
helm marked the taking of a step
which this country never can retrace.
No Undue Excitement
The passing OF the Baldwin govern
ment was accomplished without un.
due excitement, shortly before mid.
night in the House OF Commons Mon
day
The vote OF the house was anti.
climax 10 what had gone before.
When the members arose for the
division. the result was q foregone
conclusion. 1t was taken on a labor
motion TO the effect Baldwin and his
ministers had not the confidence Of
the house. BY a majority OF seventy
two votes the motion carried and the
conservative government was swept
from power
Stanley Baldwin and his cabinet con-
suited briefly at No. 10 Downing st.
Then the prime minister drove to the
palace and placed his resignation in
the hands Of King George
With humility, Macdonald accepted

Oak Park Pastor Declares Woman's
Charges Result From Self Delusion'
CIergyrhan's Wife Con-
stantIy Guards Husband
Against Gossip,

BIZ MA Service
~ 1HICAGO, Jan. 22.-Only q
clergyman's wife knows how
ZA eagerly certain people wait
to pounce upon the reputation Of a
minister of the gospel.
She knows from whence blows the
hot breath OF scandal, leaving behind
the charred remains OF good name.
She knows the church buzzards"
who wait for every scrap OF gossip.
And how she must be constantly
guarding her husband against these
forces. is a most interesting side
light to the ugly charges and init
nations surrounding Rev. Carl d.
Case of the fashionable Oak Park
Baptist Church.
DR.. Case has been named core
spondent in a divorce action filed by
Albert H. Leland against Charlotte
Leland Mrs. Leland has signed a
certain confession" Of alleged affec-
tionate relations.
That is one story. But Mrs.
Case's statement Of how Just such
situations are coInbated is another.
MANY Foolish Women"
"My husband would not visit
woman on parish call--particularly
at night-witnou: taking me along.
There are many foolish and impress
slonable women in the world.
"Also my husband would not re-
ceive a woman in his study unless
the door was left open. There are so
many who jump at conclusions"
And now that the hint Of scandal
has come upon DR.. Case In spite OF
protective barriers. II is TO the men
tai scientist that DR.. Case goes for
his defense. Mrs Leland is branded
a neurotic, given TO self-delusion.
And such will be the evidence the
defense win present in court.
The entire charge, according to
the defense theory, is based upon
Imagination.
In the days Of the early church
the woman would have been classed
as Possessed OF a perverse spirit
which bred Authorizations, this
theory contends.
Instead OF mumbling an incanta-
ton, however, the pastor today Is
f1ghtlng In court to clear his name.
His defense. although unusual. has
ample suppTt from Psychopathic
experts.
"Such Cases Daily"
I'VE have such cases Of system
atized delusions every day" says
DIR. william j. Hickson. superin-
tendent OF the psychopathic hospital.
There was a notable instance
here q few years ago. which scared
the life OF a man who had wife and
grown children and had won the
title OF general"
I'm another case several years
ago, a man was bringing suits
against the governor, the attorney
general and several other high State
officials. He believed implicitly in
the charges he had made. But they
were. nevertheless, purely irnagi-
nary"
Mrs. Leland's family, however.
repudiates the hallucinatlon theory
without qualification.
Charlotte is not crazy or men
tally deranged." says her mother.
THAT fact Is absolute. She Is not
crazy"

LEWIS IN FAVOR
Of LONG PERIOD
WAGE CONTRACTS
International President Of
Miners Tells Convention of
His Views.

A mine wage contract covering q
period of years instead of the usual
one year contract was advocated by
John L. Lewis, president Of the
United Mine Workers Of America, In
his annual report read at the inter
national convention of miners in Tom
linson Hall today.
Were such an arrangement
possible 1t would demonstrate to the
coal consuming public that the In
dustry itself was making a sincere at
tempt to place It's house in order"
Lewis said Such policy, If carried
out. would eliminate the necessity for
coal legislation by the Federal Con.
gTess or the various State Legis-
latures."
Strikes of I922-1S2S
Lewis reviewed the bituminous
strike OF 1922 and the anthracite
strikes of 1922 and 1923. He char
acterized the settlement Of the an
thracite strike brought about by Gov.
ernor Clifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania
as distinct achievement" for the
miners
The ending OF the bituminous strike
in 1922 marked the termination Of
the retrograde movement In wages
in all industry, and from thence on
ward the volume Of business and COM
merce in our country steadily In
creased and prosperity was enhanced"
Lewis said.
Industry 0yerdevelOped
Lewis pointed to the fact that min
ers work only part of the time and
that the coal industry Is overdevel-
oped.
Such a situation is unsound from
every moral and economic standpoint
and constitutes a crying need for ad-
justment," he said.
1T Is unfortunate indeed that the
United States coal commission, which
was In existence for a year. and ex-
pended some $500. 900 OF money from
the public treasury. lacked the wis
dom properly to portray this stu
alton and make practical recommen-
datiohs for permanent reform within
the industry

POSSIBLE STRIKE
SEEN AS RESULT
Of MINE MEETING
Writer PeSsimiStic About
Wage Compromise in
Coal Industry,

Strong possibility of a strikes re-
suIting from the convention OF the
United Mine Workers of America,
which opened in Tomlinson Hall to-
day, is seen by Whiting Williams
writing in the current issue of Col
lier's.
IF the soft coal miners strike April
I wei be in for the worst conflict Ill
the history OF American industry
Williams says. "This week the United
Mine Workers are in convention IL
indianapolis They are more than
likely to elect Il scale committee which
viii be instructed to sit up close to
the conference table with the op
orators and stand by some very def
mite demands, If not some forceful ul
timatums."
''Third Party" Not Wanted
williams declares peaceful arbitra-
ton IS extremely unlikely. He says
both the miners and the operators
are shy Of a third party" in their
controversies.
IF present business conditions con-
tinue, a great many Of the largest
operators Will favor resistance to any
sharp wage demands" Williams says.
'Such resistance will cost nothing
simply because. at present. the
bituminous industry is shot to pieces"
Lewis Holds Key
Williams intimates the only prob
ability that the convention will not
issue a wage ultimatum lies in the
efforts Of John L. Lewis, international
president, toward conservative action.
Few men have ever found them
selves In such a position as Mr.. Lewis
faces today in Indianapolis, the
article continues. His astonishing
pre-eminence has been gained always
by fighting. VIII he be willing to
extol before his victorious army the
wisdom OF A new policy OF peaceful
and constructive moderation as the
