UNIVERSAL SERVICE

Two bills pending in Congress to write into the law of the land the principle of universal service for which the American Legion has long contended They are Senate Bill No 25 introduced by Senator Morris Sheppard Chairman of the Senate Military Affairs Committee and House Resolution No. 6704 introduced by Representative Lister Hill, Chairman of the House Military Affairs Committee.
 The Senate Bill proposes upon declaration of war to:
 l. Authorize the President to determine and publicly proclaim prices
 9 Authorize the President to make adjustments when necessary, by public proclamaton;
 g. Authorize the drafting of the Nations man. power between the ages of 21 and 3 subject to such conditions exemptions rules and regulations as the President may prescribe;
 4. Authorize the taking into the military serv- ice civilians any persons engaged in the manage ment control of industrial manufacturing estab- lishments designated by the President
 B. Authorize the licensing of those classes deter mined by the President necessary for the successful prosecution of war
 G. Authorize the fixing of priorities in which orders may be filled by any manufacturer, dealer producer exporter importer, public service in the United States;
 T. Fix a tax for the duration of the emergency of e5 per centum of all income above the previous three-year average with proper adjustments for cap tai expenditures for war purposes by existing industries;
 8. Fix penalty of $100oOo, year in jail or both the discretion of the Court for violations
 g. Give the President power to create agencies boards and commissions and employ necessary per sonnel as to carry the purposes of the Act into effect.
 In universal service lies one of the greatest forces in behalf of peace.

BUSINESS" AND LABOR"

Emphasis that we in America place on words often leads to interpretations which tend to lead us away from fundamentals and into arguments which gain nothing and too often overshadow the objective sought Cassifications is one of our bugaboos. For example of the current topics is business as Congress considers ways and for giving it new life We speak of business though it represented certain group. And in contrast we refer to another classification known as labor"
 As the New York Times put it recently both of these have been soemnly discussed though they represented two opposing and rreconcilable forces and to love to hate the other" CartoonstS insist picturing business" big in top hat while labor" is man in overalls and usually shovel over his shoulder. The result is that look upon business and labor separate forces which have nothing in comman, setting up antagonism which does not really exist Discussing the subject further the Times makes this conclusion:
 One need not argue that the interests of
 labor and of business (that is to say the
 ployer) are identical even though in the long

FRIDAY, DECEMBER IT, 1887
 Adverse planetary aspects rule strongly today, according to astrol- ogy. It is likely to be a time of delays and disturbing experiences.
 All beginnings should be post poned in the business world where care should be exercised in com pleting whatever has not been brought to a successful close.
 Reception and indirection may be evident among certain groups of men. Bad judgment may cause losses in stock buying and other speculative investments.
 Constructive plans and decisions based on experience should be for tunate under this rule of the stars. It is a time to be guided by past events.
 Industry may be hampered by labor difficulties which threaten trouble in the new year. It is wise to cultivate the true Christmas spirit.
 Warning is given that race preju- dices and other evidences of strong thinking may be strongly evident. The wise will recognize universal brotherhood.
 Physicians and surgeons come un- der a configuration which presages a year of extraordinary activity. Medicine will be aided by new dis coveries. Unusual epidemics are forecast.
 This is an suspicious date for social entertainments, but they may entail great expense The high cost of living will be marked at this time
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of activ- ity, but mysterious obstacles may increase business problems. Fairly good fortune is prognosticated.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be imaginative, sensitive and inclined to introspection. Sub- jects of this sign achieve lasting fame
 John G. Winther, Quaker poet, was born on this day 1807 Others who have celebrated it as a birth day include Alexander Agassiz, oceanographer and zoologist, 1885; Sir Humphrey Davy, natural phil osopher, 1778

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Dec. 16.- They've been working a year out at Warner Bros. studios investigating the historical surroundings of a man whose existence has never been ap- proved
 Dr. Herman Lissauer, his assist ant, Mrs. Hetta George, and their staff of seven feSearch workers were not greatly concerned about the authenticity of the Robin Hood legend. But Robin Hood, if he lived at all, lived in a definite historical period-about l190 A.D.-in a def mite setting, the England of Rich ard Couer de Lion and of the Nor man usurper, wicked Prince John
 The research departments work began when the first script was completed. Tactfully and firmly the Lissauer-George forces read that script, made notes, checked, and returned the script to it's auditors
 BOudoirs Weren't Known
 The polite notes conveyed many succinct reminders and corrections such as the fact that Prince Johr was never actually regent, that shillings were not in use until much later than Robin Hoods time, tho popular coins being pennies" anc that guineas were unheard of. Also it was suggested, the English did not become tea-drinkers until abut 165t

run both should gain by high wages and maxi mum production But their interests do coin- eide to large extent because they are parts of the same body poltic Sub-standard wages do in the long run hurt business. Restrictions on output whether imposed by unions, by laws or by trade practices, do hurt labor.
 But behind these large distractions lie the essentials of our society-not distractions at all but a network of human relationships. These are the realities. There is not one business" there are million businesses, ranging from the very small to the very large. There is not one entity that can be called "Iabor"-there are forty million individu- als "gainfully employed" each one unique bundle of characteristics No can be hostile to labor unless he himself produces all that he consumes, for if he buys or hires he is dependent on labor. No one can be hos tile to business in our society, for it is business that directs the flow of goods without which productive efforts would be wasted.
 One may argue that in specific instances either labor or business is inefficient obstruc- tive, wastefu corrupt-anything We like. But to make such an argument is to bring the ques- ton out of the clouds of language. In what way? To what extent? By what means? To find the answers we have to bring scientific thinking into play, and to do that we have to give our emotions a rest What we have is vast economic machine, operated by human beings Like other machines, it constantly needs attention, frequently it needs repairs; as its parts wear out or grow obsoescent, they have to be repaced-invention will show the way to improvements.
 In these processes there will undoubtedly be struggle human nature being what it is. But it is the business of Statesmanship and of all responsible discussion to minimize the ele- ment of strife. Reform need not be war-will indeed be retarded by warlike attitudes We need to be wary of our distractions, which so easily turn into battle cries, and consider the practical, measurable effects of practical measures.

 Research, for instance, stopped the peddling of bright, silken pen nants among the throngs at the archery tournament. Silks were too rare and expensive in those days to permit the custom But research, pointing out that the period knew only our or five simple colors, with no intermediate shades, could not half the free use of color.
