tonight. Perrault viii make q new
attempt, and Ishak Helmy, the
Egyptian, and Georges Michel, a
Frenchman. are also planning TO
take off.
Lieut.. Col. Freyberg, described
Is the most WOun0o0 man IN the
world" gave mp his attempt to
swim the English Channel at 5
o'clock this morning after ~ little
over eight hours in the water.
He had covered about nine miles.
Freyberg was taken from the
water numb with cold. He said
that the icy water had affected his
old wounds and given him cramps.

loaded with fireworks.
Omar Perrault. the French-Cana-
dian aspirant. was defeated in his
effort by darkness. The vessel
accompanying him. being without
lights. lost track of him almost as
soon as they started. Being unable
to locate the swimmer the craft
turned back to Calais, its home
port. PerrauIt himself turned back
to Girls Nez after about two hours
In the water. He said he probably

tions, where labor costs are far below
labor costs in the United States, is
scarcely feasible. American goods can
only compete under such conditions in
foreign countries on the ground of su-
periority and better service.
Now and then consignment of
American goods, shoes perhaps, is sold
in a foreign country at prices lower
than are charged in the United States
simply because the foreign buyers
after the goods arrive, are unable to
pay the original price for them.
Rather than ship them back to this
country, the American manufacturer
takes what he can get for them.
Statistics have been produced by the
Bureau Of Labor and the Tariff Com
mission which would indicate that
American labor is better paid today
than is the farmer for his products
when the wages of labor in 1918 are
compared to the prices received by the
farmer in 1918. They show, too, that
the relative prices Of farm products
and farm purchases (the articles that
go into the farmers budget) have
changed since 1913 in favor of the
farm purchases. Nevertheless, the
figures given show that in the last
year or two the relative situation has
improved for the farmer.

 Now it is announced that an agreement has been reached for arbitration through the mediation board of which the former head of the House committee issue is the wage question between the railroads supplying the territory north of the Ohio river and east of Chicago and their tranmen As the board itself unable to ad just the differences through mediation, all parties afer friendly and thorough consideration agreed to rbitra
 on at the request of the board Two arbrators will be selected by the railroads involved in the dispute two others by the men, and two others by President Coolidge
 President Lee, of the Brotherhood of Trainmen, plains that the question at issue arises out of the demand of the conductors and brakeen in the freight service the territory involved for increase of $1 day, which the insist is warranted by the earnings of the rail- roads in the Eastern section of the country It is under stood that if the result of this first arbitration under the law is satisfactory to both sides the report of the arbraors will be followed immediately by like requests from railway employees throughout the country
