try ever had encountered. This came early in the spring while the industry was engaged in cleaning up 8 heavy accumulation of new car orders. It was averted only through the personal intervention of President Roosevelt. A National Automobile Labor Board that has dealt mainly with allegations of discrimination in the laying off of workers was the result of the set tlement plan proposed by the Presi- dent and accepted on behalf of the workers and employers.
 There was strike trouble in the plants of the Nash motor company and also in some body plants, but these were adjusted by arbitration, and although there were some fur ther rumblings of discord, the au- tomotiye code which fixed hours of labor and wages was twice extend- ed by President Roosevelt to carry over into February of 1885.
 Seasonal likeness Attacked
 If the plans of the industry's ex- ecutives do not miscarry, 1884 may be marked as the year in which the problem of seasonal idleness for several hundred thousand workers was started on it's way toward so- lution. During the summer the Au- tomobile Manufacturers association, which succeeded the National Au- tomobile Chamber of Commerce, announced its withdrawal from the sponsorship for the annual national automobile shows and subsequent 1y General Motors corporation an- nounced plans for staggering" the introduction of new models.

THE RIVER OF GREEN

The past few weeks have seen an
enormous harvest of young ever
greens, cut in the forests for use as
Christmas trees. AS these enormous
supplies of foliage are moved over
the railroads to every town in the
land, they are like a river of green,
bearing good cheer and reminders
Of bright nature.
There is a thought at the back of
this old custom. AS the birth of
Christ came to bring life to the
world, so the little Christmas tree
comes from some ancient forest to
bring the life and cheer Of nature in
to the home. It brings us a message
of sunlight and fertility, of the beau
ty of the earth and sky under the
out doors.
The happiest moment in the life
Of a child is when he is first intro
duced to the Christmas tree, rich
with its fruitage of gifts, shining
with guilt and tinsel. May no child
in the land be denied that gleeful
sightl

THE CHRISTMAS RUSH

The American people are governed
a good deal by their emotions, and
they manifest various eccentricities
A stranger from foreign land would
say that the grand rush of the peo-
pie to buy and send off holiday gifts
during the week before Christmas,
is a singular manifestation of the ma
tional temperament.
Such a stranger would not find
fault with the spirit that prompts
these gifts. He would say that this
custom creates a great deal of hap
piness. But the idea that all these
people should concentrate in crowds
to do one thing at the same time, is
a thoroughly abnormal proceeding,
and one causing much Inconvenience
and considerable real suffering.
He would say that calm and SEN
sible folks would take pains to at
tend to this matter considerable
time before the holiday. Thus they
would distribute this period of rush
over a longer time.
But as it is now, we have this
grand scrimmage, and it imposes Sc
we're burdens on many. Postal en-
ployes dread the holiday season, as
a period of intense overwork, when
they have to go it on their nerves,
and keep jumping every minute.
Store clerks in many places reach
a condition of extreme exhaustion
when the holiday comes.
Thus an occasion which was con-
ceived out of sympathy and affec-
tion, becomes one that causes suffer-
ing for many. The angels sang |
peace on earth and good will to
men" at the first Christmas, but there
is little peace and good will in the
idea of forcing the people of these
occupations to do all this overwork.
Shop early, buy early, mail early,
should be the motto. .-...

RAILROAD FARES

The western railroads have beer
experimenting with lower rates Oi
passenger fares. Their passenger
business has increased S6,000,000 in
the first eight months of this year
apparently as the result of lower
passenger rates. Hence they. have
decided to make these rates perma-
nent. The same policy would seem
good for the eastern railroads.
The railroads have had difficult
times, and in some respects have
had harsh treatment. But it does
not pay to ask such a price for any
service that the public will not pay
it. The railroad passenger business
has suffered because so many people
have saved money by travelling on
busses or by private automobile.
1t would seem that the rOalroads
either would have to meet that COM
petition, or see their passenger busi-
ness still further decline. 1t is true
that the railroads have done much
to win back traffic by excellent fast
trains and comfortable service. But
when it costs twice as much to en-
joy those luxuries, some people look
at dollar long time, and with a
fond and loving eye, before parting
from it.
Some people think railroads are
largely doomed, and that they can
not as a rule compete with light We
hicles driven cheaply over the roads.
But when a railroad acquires a right
of way, you can run trains over it
at far higher speed than you can
run cars over a road where 1000
traffic perils must be guarded
against. So we must have our rail-
roads, and give them business
enough so they can make living.
The railroads should consider
whether they could not get three
times as many passengers, if they
would cut their former fares in two.
If so, the cut would pay.

THE BEST DRESSED WOMEN

Leading Paris dressmakers, ac-
cording to a poll made by the Asso-
ciated Press, have picked out a list
of 20 women whom they consider to
be the best dressed in the world.
And half of these women are Amer
leans.
The desire to appear well dressed
is a powerful one in the minds Of
most women. Some intellectuals
and followers of the arts, give but
little attention to clothes. Their
minds are on literature or educa-
ton or philanthropy, and they can't
spare serious thought for clothes.
Some of the worlds most famous
women take that attitude.
But from earliest history, clothes
have added to the power Of per-
sonality, both for men and women.
Up to a century ago, the men Wed
with the women in wearing orna-
mental clothing, with gorgeous cos
tunes and combinations of color.
Then the path of the sexes divided.
Men adopted more sedate and less
styles, while women
continued to ornament themselves
with all the colOrs of the rainbow.
So it happens today, that the sue
cess of a woman in public life is af-
iected by her garments. If she con-
'orms to the latest style and to the
prevailing notions of color and cor
her lecture or work as a
officer is likely to receive
much warmer applause.
Money is a large factor in appro-
,riate dressing. The woman who
las it can equip herself with a va
iety of costumes, which shall fit
very occasion. But money without |
aste gets nowhere. The woman who
las no sense of color or form may
make herself ridiculous with her
onspicuous appearance. And it is
mazing how women with a keen ar
istic eye can take a small amount |
t money and make themselves so
ascinating that everyone turns to
)ok.

DISPLACED BY MACHINERY

Machinery for cotton picking is
now being tried out, which may rev.
olutionize the cotton growing indus
try. One such machine in Arizona is
reported to have picked 600 pounds
in three hours. The cost of the ma
chine picking is called 81 per acre.
about one-fifth as much as hand
picking. Now what will happen to
about 100000 workers in the cot
ton fields, if the crop they gather is
largely picked by machinery at some
future date?
Such things have constantly hap
pened in industry on a smaller scale.
A machine is often introduced where
one man can do the work of dozen
OF hundred. What shall be done
with the dozen or the hundred? If
cotton picking by machinery should
become the regular thing, we shall
see the greatest problem in labor
displacement ever known so far.
Some people say the use of new
machinery should be restricted. But
to do that stops progress. If we had
stopped the introduction of auto
mobiles because they injured the
business of the carriage makers, the
country's progress would have been
retarded. And the automobiles have
apparently given work to more peo-
pie than the horse and carriages ever
employed.
So improved machinery works
around to benefit the public in time,
but it makes temporary hardship.
The answer is to do everything pos
sible to stimulate business, so that
prosperous factories will have jobs
for the people thrown. out by new
methods.
Some people get in such a rut that
if they lose their jobs, there is moth
ing else they can do. They know
only one little trade, and are help
less if Improvements destroy their
old jobs. We should train young
people to be bright, clever, and in
genious, to like to work, and be
ready to turn their hands to any
thing.

TRAGEDIES OF THE HOME

We hear much of the terrible acci-
dent record on the roads, and how
$4,000 people lost their lives in
automobile accidents in 1884.
But the story of accidents in the
homes is almost as bad, since S4,5OO
people were killed in such household
accidents last year. The most com
mon causes Of home accidents are
falls. Old people with their falter-
ing steps are frequently the victims
Of these tragedies. If we can't make
our roads safe, we can at least make
the homes safer. That slipping rug
may be a death trap. The shaky
stepladder is needed for kindling
wood. And let us tell the home folks
not to jump at their tasks as if they
were running to a fire. Take time,
and they will be safer.

REV. HAROLD S. LAIRD'S
TRIAL MAY BE DELAYED
Death Of f. Leonard WALES, Sails.
bury Attorney May Cause Delay

W4A AAeeAASal @AAI NAnao OCtaly
Trial of the Rev. Harold S. Laird,
Fundamentalist pastor of the First
and Central Presbyterian Church of
Wilmington, by a special judicial
commission of the Presbytery of
New Castle is likely to be further
delayed by the sudden death last
Friday of F. Leonard Wailcs, Sal
isbury, Md, attorney, who dropped
dead from heart attack.
Mr. WALES a prominent Presby-
terian layman, was one Of the spe-
cial counsel for the I'resbytery in
the Laird case. Mr.. Laird is charged
by the General Assembly with in
subOrdinatiOn in refusing to resign
his membership on tire outIawei
Independent Board Of Foreign Mis-
sions.
It is said that the death of Mr..
Wales probably will hold OF the
first meeting of the special judicial
commission of Presbytery until
early in January. Mr.. WALES busi-
ness in civil courts in session in
Salisbury had made it necessary to
postpone the initial meeting Of the
commission until early December.
Another special counsel probably
will be appointed soon by the Mod
orator of Presbytery to replace Mr.
WALES.
Ths Laird case gained Statewide
attention when the charges were
rlade, against Laird by the Presby-
terv during a session in Milford Sn
October.

National Labor Relations Act.
The act generally known as the
Wagner labor disputes law is perhaps
the most important bill from the
point Of view Of organized labor that
has come before the Congress. In
brief, 1t creates the National Labor
Relations Board, consisting of three
members appointed by the President
with the advice and consent of the
Senate. States employees have the
right to self-organization, to bargain
collectively and to join or assist labor
unions. 1t Classics as unfair labor
practice, any effort on the part Of an
employer to interfere with employees
in the exercise Of their guaranteed
rights to dominate any labor organi-
zation, or discriminate in regard to
employment so as to encourage or
discourage membership in any labor
organization; TO discriminate against
any employe for filing charges or CIV
ing testimony under this act: or to
refuse to bargain collectively with the
representatives of his employees. 1t
provides for employe representatives
and their election, and empowers the
board to prevent any unfair labor
practice and vests the board with in
vestigatory powers.
This measure really carries out one
Of the elements Of the N. r. A. pro-
gram, which was vitiated by the Su-
