AN END TO ARGUMENT.

For many days Gov Troy Chambers or Commerce and other organizations and lnolVlouaIs in Alaska Gov. Martin of Washington, Federal authorities and interested steamship operators have sought to with the striking longshore unions and convince them by the weight of logical proof that they should declare truce with Alaskan shipping At times it seemed as if these efforts would be successful In the end, however, the con- alterations of strategy mistaken think them to have been outweighed the demands of humanity. By Wednesdays vote against releasing more vessels for Alaska ports with foodstuffs for residents and supplies and personnel for canneries and mines the strikers definitely gave notice they were done with concessions whatever the cost might be to Alaska Their reason was that to exempt this shipping from the strike order might weaken their position.
 If that should be permitted to stand conditions here would speedily become ntoerable. Even the strikers acknowledged that Yet better so than to have the idea get abroad that Seattle weakening. It was the challenge of force to the doctrine of reasonableness
 It has been answered by Judge Charles A. Reynolds, Federal mediator, speaking for the Gov ernment Associated Press dispatches from Seattle yesterday said he had requested the striking unions to reopen trade to Alaska and warned them if this not done by the longshoremen the Government would do it. He asked for their decision by pm. yesterday. At the time this is written word has come through the outcome.
 Judge Reynolds's request, though not so termed, cannot be construed other than direct ulti- matum. Thinking people cannot quarrel with that. Days have turned into weeks since this situation began. Appeals to sympathy, pleas. based on every that anyone could desire have been repeatedly made. All to adequate result. In the end, the strikers by vote determined to continue the of force as means of obtaining their end There could be but one answer to it. Judge Reynolds has given it. We have got to get trade to Alaska started" And he has told the longshoremen if they will not do it, then the Government will.

now well known, with the result that makers can figure more accurately and will not overprice to protect against unforeseen contingencies"
 Equally interesting to consumers and retailers IS the further statement in this survey that in most industries running full tme wages rises could be theoretically absorbed because of lower costs created by time operation. Which is pre- cisely what President Roosevelt predicted when he signed the National Recovery Act.
 The present ability to figure accurately is the result of operation of MIRA codes. Primarily, the costs" that have been stabilized" include wage scales, which the recovery law definitely removed from the field of competition. Secondly. the ac- counting and cost-finding requirements in the codes, being standardized to the various industries doubtless do provide more comprehensive knowledge of operating costs" and thus materially minimize "the unforeseen developments" that char acerized the pre-code Furthermore, to judge from the zeal of code proponents at the hearings in Washington in advocating, and of code author ites in enforcing, the fair-trade practice pro- visions of the codes industries have been able to effect many real economies in operation.
 Leon Henderson, chief of the Research and Plan ming Division of MIRA, was recently quoted by J. R Bracket Associated Press financial expert saying he found "an unusual sign of business recovery in the desire of many corporations to increase their business volume by reducing prices" which the New York Times declares editorially is a sensible procedure"

Movies for Adults.
(New York World Telegraph

'The problem of what the child shall see is the mothers responsibility" said Mrs William Dick Sporborg Chairman of moving picture committee of the city Federation of Women's Clubs. We are sophisticated people and cannot have movies strictly for the sake of the children"
 This is a sound and healthy policy, believe quite in line with that statement in the recent annual report of Will H. Hays that the motion picture industry cannot underrate with mpunty the importance of the general level of public intel lgence"
 In not many homes, we suspect, would "The Postman Always Rings Twice. be read aloud as a bedtime story. Not many mothers would have taken their children to "The Green Bay Tree" Yet such works have a legitimate and respectable posi- tion works of adult artistry-the powerful crime story, the other extremely sensitive drama
 Made into films, these two stories, we suspect, might have a disturbng and possibly unfealthful effect upon the minds of young children And doubtless many young children would see them. Still we see no reason why adult audiences should be denied such stimulating human documents. The problem, as MT. Sporborg says, is one in which parents must assume their share of responsibility.
 "The motion picture is than medium of entertainment recreation" declares MT Hays "It is art medium, form of expression and a worldwide vehicle of ideas and information !" The increasing prevalence of that idea, among producers and public alike, is sign of the movies coming of age. In time, undoubtedly there will be distinct classification of pictures for children and for adults, just as now there are books and plays

JEWETT SHOUSE' LATE ADVICE
ON TEMPERANCE
By r. A. Adams
(For The Literary Service Bureau

1t seems the acme of irony for
Jewett Shouse. the man who headed
"The, Association Against Prohibi-
ton" to come out and advocate tenn
perance. But he did, if recent press
dispatches were true. According to
these, he urged the home and the
church to return to teaching prohibi-
ton in order to save tbs youth of the
land from the corrupting influence
of liquor.
No nation of state would remove
its laws against narcotics, place them
in reach of all, then talk of educating
against their use! Would it be wise
to put poison within the reach of child
ren and then pirate of educating them
against its influence? No one can
honestly advocate such a course.
Such inconsistency regarding traffic
IN strong drink is as weak, and would
be as foolish as the others mentioned
in this Connection.

iterates and millions Of r who
