ton proposed today to striking union

mitted to a three-man arbitration

James Buckley, secretary of the
plasterers' local, announced, however,
he did not think the proposal would
be acceptable to the workers at this
time.
I'VE have had only three meetings

up yet in our attempt to reach a
settlement without the Intervention
of an arbitration board"
Composition Of Board.
Frank Murphy. secretary Of the
Employing Plasterers' Association,
said the proposed board would be
composed of one union man, one
representative of the employers and
one non-partisan member.
In his letter to the union COM
municating the arbitration plan Muir
ply suggested that District Commis-
Sioner George E. Allen, who volun-
tarily has attempted to negotiate
several local labor difficulties. be ap-
pointed as the neutral member.
I'VE feel Commissioner Allen Is
fair and is we'll equipped to under
take this function" said Murphy.

extent should existing municipal
agencies be consolidated; what
agencies dealing with similar work
could be merged, such as municipal
and Federal recreational activities
and the separate District and park

to consider whether any change
should be made in the present COM

by substituting the city manager

ing board of three Commissioners
with an administrative manager.
While awaiting an opportunity to
prepare their final recommendations
the officials studying the question are
seeking the sentiment of civic leaders

resignation of Clarence Darrow as its
chairman and asserting it had been
hampered by lack of funds in its study
of N. r. A. codes.

One resolution said "the task that
had been assigned to the board of in
vestigating so many codes was hercu-
lean and one that would have entailed
the expenditure Of vast sums of money
and the employment of large numbers
of experts if it had not been placed
under the direction of such a man as
Clarence Darrow'
The board said it had been faced
with the urgent necessity of COM
pleting the first part of its work
within limited time" and in this

Rumblings of Fusion

Again the rumblings of political fusion between
the Democrats and Republicans of Minnesota are be-
ing brought to the foreground. This week we re-
ceived copy of resolution sent out by voters of
the And Senatorial District of the County of Ramsey
in which John E. Regain and Martin "A. Nelson, re-
spective Democratic and Republican nominees for
the office of Governor have been asked to withdraw,
to make way for fusion candidate At the present
time the reelection of Floyd Olson is al
most absolute surety A fusion of both the old
parties will make the going rather tough for Mr..
Olson, and it would be lively battle. But let us
ASK who is this man who will carry the united ban
of these parties, if fusion be affected? It
would be quite interesting to know.

A Bishops Story

Illustrating how the treatment of strangers in a
foreign land may influence their lives. Bishop Bart
lett of the Episcopal church tells Of two young Chi
nese students who came to America, and what hap
pened to them.
One, Chinese girl who had been converted to
Christianity in her native land, to the United
States to continue her studies Unfortunately, she
entered school in which prejudice shown be-
cause of her race. She renounced Christianity and
returned to China.
The other, Chinese boy, was befriended by an
American family in Charleston, became Christian,
returned to China and married Christian Chinese
girl. Four of their children were educated in the
United States, and their family became one Of the
most influential in China
One daughter married Sun Vat Sen, founder of
Chinese republic; another married Chang Ia Shek,
China's chief leader today; third married Kung
Hsiang Hsi, recently finance minister Of China;
while son, Soong Us Vung was also finance minist-
and represented China in several international
ferences.
"The Christian influences which have gone out
from this family says Bishop Bartlett, are incalcu-
liable, and go back to friendlness shown toward a
Chinese boy in America"

Loan Law Futile

Industrial concerns which expected aid through
the government plan to make loans direct to in
dustry likely to be disappointed because of the
drastic requirements imposed borrowers, and the
immense amount of red tape involved in obtaining
loan.
1t is required that prospective borrowers must
submit salary and wage scales for government ap-
prevail must permit government inspection of their
books at any time, must have government approval
of all dividend payments or other distribution of
profits.
A business applying for loan must fill out
a complicated 20-page form, giving information con-
corning his business in minute detail He must then
wait until this information is checked and double
checked first by regional offices and again in Wash
ington.
Loans will not be made to finance construc-
ton, to pay debts taxes to finance consumer pur
chases, imports exports promotional work. No
loans will be made to inactive industries those in
recevership.
If business could meet the governments
requirements he could probably obtain loan from
private banks readily AS indication of the
futiity of the governments gesture to aid industry
it may be noted that although more than 5000 appl
cations for loans have been made not one had been
granted in the first month of the plans operation.
