SPLENDID BOOK

The Copper Kettle, annual year book
at the Douglas high school, is just
off the press and is a decided i'm
provement in every way over former
wear books. The book is dedicated to
the Mothers and Fathers, ''those
present and those gone, to whose
loving service and we owe all"
The forward brings to the atten-
tion of the students that the achieve
ments during the high school life
bring back cherished memories which
are so dear to every D. H. S. stu
dent. The year book is treasured
more in after years than it is at
the present time. Students were busy

Arizona, and gives some of the most
attractive scenes from the Wonder
land of Rocks. The second book
records the student activities and is
followed by the athletic section, COM
prising football basket ball, base

(Br DISPATCH A. p. Wirel

WASHINGTON, May 12.-To meet
the broadside of criticism fired from
the floor of the house at the Haugen
farm relief bill, its sponsors agreed
today on amendments to cut the
price of stabilization appropriation
from $3.50 900 to $175,OOO,O0O and
to impose Immediately the equaliza-

instead of deferring it two years.
The house was occupied with

when that is completed, it will be
in order to offer as substitutes the
Tincher credit measure and the

proposal. Final votes on the three
bills are not expected before the end

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Declara-
ton of an armistice in 'the British
general strike swept a wave of glad
some news over Washington today,
with reaction in a measure APP
preaching the emotions stirred up at
the ending of the World war.
The terse announcement, British
general strike settled was enough to
bring pronounced smiles of relief and
satisfaction. The majority was not
interested in the details, although a
few hesitated to comment in their alb
sence. High government officials,
leaders of organized labor, and the
great industrial heads now in Wash
ington for the chamber of commerce
meeting-all had realized what stu
pendous economic effects the strike
might have had had it continued in
definitely.
Secretary Hoover of the commerce
department, who had repeatedly de-
clined to talk about the strike while
it was in progress, confined his sem
timent in regard to the settlement to
13 words, declaring:
'The whole world is relieved and
glad that a settlement has been
reached"
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, said
the controversy had proven to labor
in this country the soundness of "mak-
ing wage contracts and keeping them
inviolate."
The working people, in common
with other erouns he added, We're
gratified to learn of the settlement.
News that peace was declared was
received enthusiastically at the meet
ing of the United States Chamber OF
Commerce, where John w. OLeary its
president, announced that form OF
rebellion' had been put down.

The coal miners remain out, but
with the assurance of Premier Bald
win that no stone will be left unturn>
ed to bring the interrupted negotia-
tions between the miners and mine
owners to a close satisfactory to all.
Now, the nation that has borne with
good humor and Spartan fortitude the
inconvenience and annoyances inev-
liable to any general stoppage of in
dustry, is preparing to pick up the
pieces and count the cost.
Work is being slowly resumed
throughout the country tonight. There
are still many differences to be ads
justed before industry can be in full
swing again.
First, there is the question of the
engagement of the men who have
been notified that their places were
filled. Then, too, groups in various
sections have announced their unwil-
lingness to resume work until the
government emergency control is en-
tirely removed. But, on the whole, the
nation has joyfully accepted the end
of what the trades union congress,
with reason, has characterized as one
of the most orderly stoppages in the
history Of Industrial disputes.
Premier Baldwin and his ministers
awaited call from the union lead
ers until after midnight, but it was
not until noon today that the delega-
ton porceeded to Number 10 Downing
street, the premier's official residence.
Here the proceedings were brief. Iii
few words the premier was informed
that the labor men were there to in-
form him of the termination of the
general strike. At the same time they
relied upon his putting into effect his
previous promises of a square deal
for all.
News Spreads Rapidly.
The termination of the strike was
broadcast over the radio, announced
in parliament and spread rapidly to
every corner of the country. Upon
Just what basis the negotiations for
the resumption of work will be taken
up has not been revealed to the gem
eral public, even if already decided
upon by the leaders and government.
The miners tonight are steadfast in
their position that tney will not ac-
cept any proposals involving a reduc-
tion of wages. The mine owners have
not been heard from. 1t is the wide
spread opinion and hope of the coun-
try that the terms of Sir Herbert

Gazette Suspends.
The British Gazette, the govern
ment's official newspaper, published
it's last issue tonight and instructions
have been given to the different gov
ernment departments to be ready to
disband the force of voluntary work
ers gathered in the stress and strain
of the last weeks Developments at a
moments notice.
At Hull and one orstwo other pro-
vincial towns the strikers declared
they would not return until military
control was removed and in some
other instances groups wanted assur-
ance that all who had walked out
would be reintsated in, their employ
ment.
The government announced that It
had no power to compel employers to
take back every man who had been
on strike, nor had it entered into any
obligations to do so. This was one
of the requests made by j. III. Thomas
at the noon conference with Premier
Baldwin-that the premier would use
his good offices to bring about the re-
instatement of the men and to ask
employers to make the position as
easy and smooth as possible.
The members of the cabinet were
too tired tonight to come to any def.
mite conclusions regarding the pro-
cedure to be followed in the resump-
ton of the negotiations between the
miners and owners.
It is understood that the premier
abs planned to call both parties into
conference tomorrow after the gov
ernment is assured that the general
strike is really and in good faith
ended.
The cabinet at its meeting tomor-
row, at which the general lines Of the
governments policy will be laid down,
will first of all take up Sir Herbert
SamuePs memorandum which thus far
being only private document, has
not officially been called to the gov
ernment's attention.
The prime minister, in a message to
the nation broadcast tonight, appealed
to the country to forget past quarrels
and refrain from recriminations. He
begged the employers to be generous
and urged the workers and the whole
nation to cooperate in restoring the
country's industrial welfare.

All the newspapers devote much space
