Many events OF great moment
marked the year 1924. First of these
In Importance undoubtedly was the
formulation. adoption and putting Into
operation OF the Dawes plan for the
payment OF German PREPARATIONS and
indirectly the financial and economic
regeneration OF that country and Eu-
rope generally. The success OF this
scheme means much for the entire civ
alized world. Having been devised
mainly by Americans, 1t adds to the
prestige of America.
Wars were few and not especially
important internationally. The out
standing ones were the civil war for
the control of the government OF
China, the attempt of Spain 10 con
quer the rebelIious tribesmen OF Mo
rocco, the suppression Of a rebellion
in Mexico and long drawn-out revo-
lutlOnary movement In Brazil. There
were also several Of the always-to-be-
expected internecine conflicts In Cen
araI America. On the whole Mars had
rather an Idle year For time the
alarmIsts talked of war between the
United States and Japan over the
Japanese exclusion clause in the new
American immigration law, but the
crisis was passed safely, for the time
al least.
Great Britain experienced the now
city of being under Labor govern
ment which was fairly successful until
Ct got tangled up with the Russian
soviets, whereupon 1t was ousted, the
Conservatives winning the parliamen-
tary elections by large majorities.
Stanley Baldwin again became prime
minister. During the irst quarter OF
the year the soviet government Of
Russia won recognition from almost
every important country except the
United States, but the soviet leaders
continued to recede from their Boil
ehevik principles. Socialists captured
the government OF France and Herriot
became premier. President Mustapha
Kemai Of Turkey and Dictator Musso-
lini OF Italy were subjected to severe
attacks from political opponents and
we're forced to more liberal attitudes.
In the United States the biggest
event Of the year was the national
election, together with the sensational
Democratic convention which resulted
in the nomination of John w, Davis
and Charles W. Bryan. and The indie
pendent candidacy Of SHls,vr LaFol-
iette and Senator Wheeler on radi-
cal platform. Despite the oil reserve
scandal that had laid the Republican
administration open to attack, the
voters Of the land, by plurality of
about 100000 decided that Calvin
Coolidge should continue in the presi-
Dental office. with Charles Gates
Dawes as vice president During the
long months of the campaign business
In the United States had languished,
but Immediately after the election It
revived rapidly, and at the same time
there began considerable boom in
securities on the stock exchanges.

INDUSTRIAL AND
LABOR

Labor In the United States had a
prosperous and in general quiet
year. There was not one general
strike; wages maintained their high
level and in many Instances were in
creased. The New York Central Rail-
way company increased the pay Of 49,
900 employees on January %; Chicago
teamsters won an Increase In Feb
ruary by q short strike, and so did
several other local unions later. Wages
of various classes of railway en-
ployees were raised during the year
by the federal board. Only the textile
workers of Maine suffered reduction,
in November silk workers of Pater-
son. N. j., went on strike and so did
the garment workers Of both New
York and Chicago.
The American Federation Of Labor
held its convention in El Paso, Texas.
Communism and the labor party
movement were again squelched, and
Samuel Gompers was reelected presi-
dent. He and many of the delegates
went to Mexico City for the conven-
ton of the Pan-American Labor Fed
GRAFTON. Mr.. Gompers was elected
president of that body. While there
he suddenly fell Ill and was hurriedly
brought back to San Antonio, where
he died on December 10.
In July the federal trade commits
sion ordered all steel companies to
abandon the pittsburgh plus sys-
tenn, which was said to work Injustice

industry responded instantly and the
smooth and efficient operation of the
Dawes plan seemed assured.
Several attempts were made during
the year to forward the further reduc-
ton of ornaments by agreement, but
nothing definite was accomplished I'M
til September, when Prime Minister
Macdonald Of Great Britain submit
ted to the League of Nations his plan
for an international agreement for Sc
curity, arbitration and disarmament.
The discussion was heated, and Japan
refused to adhere because the plan
prohibited wars based on internal poll
cies of nations. Her delegates did not
conceal the fact that they were re-
ferring especially to the Japanese ex-
clusIon clause of the American immi-
grafton law, which already had caused
protests from Tokyo and boycotts and
threats against Americans in Japan

vide that any nation might ask the
league to arbitrate internal affairs of
