 Adverse aspects Gomlnate today according to astrology. The plane tary government may cause discon- tent with oneself and with the world in general. The wise will not harbor any form of pessimism. Faultfinding may be a domestic indoor sport today. Parents should exercise strict discipline over them selves as we'll as over members of their families.
 Under this sway the clergy may encounter lack of proper support in sweeping reforms that they ad- vocate. Again prohibition will gain flavor.
 Educators are to join in move ments for the betterment of hu- manity it is foretold and unin- versity head will gain added pop ularity as a fearless champion of strictest morality.
 There is a sign read as presaging secret propaganda that teaches ideals destructive to American standards of living. New methods Iof reaching the rising generation will be adopted
 This is lucky day for wearing new clothing. Vivid colors will take on special significance and will be in high favor among women. Gowns for summer will follow the lines of old time modes and their voluminous folds will initiate the costumes worn before the Civil War.
 As the churches of the United States are to gain strength so also numerous cults will attract many followers, for the spiritual side of life experience will arouse greater l interest
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of pros perity which brings many young friends. There may be temptation toward extravaganza. Children born on this day prob ably will be generous and ambi- tious. Subjects of this sign are apt to see things in their larger rela- tions.

purpose In coming before you was SIM
ply to review the existing needs Of the
library. and to present an impartial
analysis Of the proposed solutions"
Earlier In the meeting, Miss Mary
Elizabeth Downey, chairman Of the
federation's Public Library Extension
Committee. indorsed the Collins bill.
Declaring the library system Is not ade-
quate for city of Washington's size,
Miss Downey said:
ut Is always easy for the District
to get money from Congress when the
funds are for spectacular things, but
1t Is so much harder, for some reason
or other, when it comes TO such i'm
portant things as schools and IL
braries."
The growth Of the library from ap-
proximately $1,000 volumes to more
than half-million, and the great
increase in circulation was described
by Or. Bowerman. The circulation
during the last year was nearly s.
600, 900, he said.
The librarian said the first great
need, in his opinion. Is for more ade.
quate personnel and q larger book
fund. Next In importance he placed
the need for more branch libraries.
In this connection, he explained that
the addition Of new branches always
throws an added burden on the main
library, thus necessitating an ever
increasing administrative staff as the
extensions are made.
The third great need, he said, Is
for an adequate main library building.
The board Of trustees report, he ex-
planned, said that during the major
part Of the day, the main building is
so congested that it is almost i'm
possible to accommodate the throngs
who come for books. From the ad-
ministrative side, the report said, the
present building Is most inefficient.

WOMENARE ASKED
TO HELP LIBRARY.
Needs of Public Institution
Acute, Dr.. BoWerman
Tells Clubs.

Describing the needs of the District s
tree public library system as acute, u
DR.. George F. Bowerman, librarian,
today called on the District Federation
Of Women's Clubs to study the press
ing problem with a view toward ar
irving at solution that will place
the library in a position to adequately
meet the growing needs Of book
hungry Washington"
DR.. Bowerman told the federation
that the Board Of Library Trustees,
in its annual report for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1886, suggested that
the present main library must be en-
larged or a new building must be built
to meet the ever-increasing needs for
adequate space and administrative effi-
cheney.
He pointed out that a bill recently
was introduced by Chairman Collins
of the House Subcommittee on District
Appropriations calling for q new 81
100000 main building west Of Six
teenth street and north Of Pennsyl-
vania avenue.
"In view Of the fact the Board of
Library Trustees has not yet con-
sidered this bill, I feel I am not in a
position to state my views on the
matter" DR.. Bowerman said. my

step would legally estop them from
challenging the constitutionality OF
other features Of the Wagner law.
But q voluntary agreement on a
special board does away with the con-
stitutiona1 difficulties because it be-
comes mutual agreement apart from
the Federal labor LAWN other words,
a special contract between the parties.
Likewise, the President Of the United
States acts in an informal capacity
Just as an arbitrator would In a
customary arbitration proceeding. But
his arbitration extends only to one
point, namely, to the reconciliation
of differences that may arise in the
special temporary board as to the best
manner of conducting a fair election.
If the President wishes, he can also
call on a special commission Of promi-
nent citizens to give him expert
advice or he can decide the issues
himself after receiving the recon-
mendations of his own created special
board.
Coercion Could Be Stopped.
Arrangements could be made
through the rules governing the elec-
ton to keep the ballots from being
tampered with and also to assure
a freedom of choice without coercion
or intimidation of any kind whatSo-
ever. It might be necessary to en-
trust the counting of the ballots
and their custody thereafter to a
court and its officers, point that
could be we'll taken care of by the
rules for the election drafted by the
Presidents board. But whatever the
rules, the parties agree in advance to
accept President Roosevelt's determi-
nation Of what they shall be.
I do not know whether the plan
I have proposed will appeal to either
side or neither, for have not dis
cussed the proposal or its ideas in
any way with persons identified with
the employers or the employees, or
with any public officials. But some
such plan will have to be developed
II there is to be industrial peace
in America, because the country will
not long endure the economic dis
turbance being caused now in its
biggest industry nor the threat which
continued strikes carry to the future
Of other industries and businesses and
the pay rolls of all their employees.

dustrial workers Of the Nation? To
do any of these things the President
would have to usurp power which ne
does not have and delegate authority
which he does not possess. Mussollnl
did that in Italy. He ordered the
workers in every industry to join one
sort of trade union and recognized
that trade union, then, as the sole
collective bargaining agency. Stain
can do the same thing in Russia. But
the United States is still democracy,
and has to move by democratic
processes.
General Motors Has Retreated.
The situation is this: Under pres
sure Of the extremely costly strike.
and through the influence Of Fed
eral and State government. which
are both definitely friendly to labor
and trade unionism, General Motors
has retreated a considerable distance
from the position which it took origi-
nally. General Motors agreed to nego-
tiate on ali eight points Of the unions
demands, and to negotiate for the
industry as a whole, and not plant
by plant. It agreed, furthermore, to
suspend production while the nego-
tiations were in progreSs-not to re-
open the plants. But on its part. 1t
demanded that the sit-down strikers
evacute the two Fisher body plants
in Flint, which they still occupy, while
the negotiations were in progress. The
union agreed.
The union evacuated all but two
plants. Then came the Flint Alliance
episode. The alliance was organized
by a former Mayor who is a General
Motors employe, and 1t claims to rep
resent the workers opposed to Lewis
union. It sent q letter to General
Motors petitioning to go back to work
and asking General Motors to nego-
tiate with them as well as with the
union. General Motors replied that
1t would always be willing to nego-
tiate with any group Of its employees.
No date was set for such negotiations.
Lewis charges that the alliance Is q
stooge Of the management and that
the whole exchange Of notes was q
maneuver Of the company. Since the
eight points on which General Motors
had agreed to negotiate included the
claim Of the union to be recognized as
the sole representative Of the works.
Lewis declared that the demand had
been denied by implication in advance
of opening negotiations, and was evi-
dence, therefore, Of bad faith. So he
