Gus sases. Now he said. war was fought
IN three dimensions.
War Menace Outlined.
ut Is not by accident thai the move
ment to renounce var came In the
twentieth century" NE said. The radi-
cal changes In the nature Of warfare
wrought by science have left mankind
no practical alternative. Ancient var
fare threatened violence principally to
trained contestants: modern warfare Is
between whole populations. 1t threat
ems the existence of every one, includ-
ing the men who declare It.
MurdocS explained the Paris pact
obligates SO of the worlds IS nations to
renounce war as an instrument Of ma
tional policy and to seek solution OF
all disputes by pacific means only, ana
that Il was universal in scope, excepting
six Latin American countries.
Noting that 1t had been criticized
for failing to renounce national sell
defense, the assistant solicitor said:
THAT right is inherent, not only In
every nation, but IN every individual,
The pact. however, does not
give express recognition to the right OF
self-defense." a8
Basis Of London Pact.
The pact was credited by Murdoch as
being the basis Of the London Naval
Conference where, for the FIRST time IN
history, great powers agreed to limit all
classes Of warships.
He said, This Is but the beginning,
and declared that an international con-
ference on land ornaments Is to be held
in Geneva in 1882 and another naval
conference in 1885 for the limitation OF
arms.
Thus. he added, by limiting arma-
ment national budgets might be USED
for constructive social purposes instead
Of for competitive arms building.
Striving for the limitation OF arma-
lnent Is one Of the outstanding policies
of the administration" Murdoch said
J" . Possibly the most important
step which has not been taken to date

Many Employed
on Highway Work
1881 Accomplishments and Plans
for 1882 Discussed at Highway
Officials Meeting

att seems but yesterday when
state highway departments feared
to let it be known how many peo-
pie got their bread and butter from
jobs on the state highways. Now
they are importuned at every hand
to hire more men," said w. c,
Markham, secretary of the Ameri-
can Association Of State Highway
officials in his annual report at the
meeting at Salt Lake City last
week. On July, he said, one out
of every 1853 in the nation was en-
ployed on state highway work. This
does not include those engaged in
preparing materials, nor persons
employed on county or local roads.
Many industries, he said, would
have closed down if it had not
been for the demands upon them to
furnish material for this road work.
Contracts let for state road work
in the first six months Of 1881 were
$115, 100000 greater than in the
same months last year.
In July 1886 $50 persons were en-
ployed on state and federal road
work. T. H. Macdonald, chief of
the Bureau of Public Roads, told
the meeting. Increased employ
ment has been provided where most
he said. Expansion Of
road building is sound, since ade-
quate highways have not been over
produced and many more miles are

needed. Increased construction has
been accomplished without increas-
ed but rather with decreased unit
prices. These lower prices, how
ever, have not been at the expense
of unskilled labor, generally speak
ing. There has been some advant-
age taken Of the necessity for en-
ployment, but the average of prices
reportd for unskilld labor is hold
ing close to the average paid in
the states in previous years"
In discussing plans for federal
aid work for the coming year Mr..
Macdonald indicated the desire of
the bureau to accept policies de-
signed to increase and protect la
Dor. Among policies acceptable to
the bureau are the fixing of fair
minimum wage scale for unskilled
labor and restrictions giving pre-
ference to local unskilled labor and
to citizens of the state. The bur-
eau will approve restrictions as to
hours per day and days per week
in order that labor may be con-
tinuously employed. He stated that
the bureau will not accept the dis
.barment of contractor because
he is a nonresident of the state,
provided he is the lowest possible
bidder, nor will it accept limitation
of materials to those produced in
the state.
Through the association all in
formation about improved road
building methods is made available
to all the states. Minnesota high
way officials took an active part in
the meeting. Commissioner G. M.
Babcock Is a member of the exc
