@. 0. P. Sheriffs Get
Diamond d-Studded Budoe
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.-The dia-
mond-studded sheriffs badge Sher-
III c. r. Boutwell, of Pettis County
is wearing these days has back
ground.
Back in 1921 a Republican, w. H.
FeWell, was elected sheriff after
quite a few Democrats had held the
office. Tradition said the badge
passed along with the Office, but
the Republicans didn't want Fewell
wearing a badge that had reposed
on so many Democrats vests. So
they bought him a gold one with a
diamond in the center.
Boutwell, is the first Republican
who's been elected sheriff since
Fewell. So the fancy emblem of
1921 was dug out of its pigeonhole
for him.

Increase in Labor
Disputes Feared As
Defense Threat
Twentieth Century Fund
Stresses Importance
Of Mediation
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-A sharp
increase in labor disputes, especially
in the vital defense industries, was
foreseen in a report issued today by
the Twentieth Century Fund, Inc,
in which it urged full use and pos
sible expansion of present channels
for the settlement of Worker-man-
agement differences.
The fund, established by the late
Edward A. Filene. Boston depart
ment store owner, conducts inde-
pendent researches into financial
and social questions.
The report pointed to apparently
growing sentiment for anti-strike
legislation, but said:
In a democratic country it is
impossible to prevent men from quit
ting their work if they choose to
do so. A strike can be settled only
by an agreement between labor
and management; while Government
may assist or persuade the parties
to reach an agreement, it cannot
force them to do So"
The proportion of success in
avertlng work stoppages by volun-
tary mediation, however. the report
found, usually runs above 90 per
cent"
The study cited evidence, based
on both American and foreign eX-
perience, to show that Interruptions
of production were much less fire.
quent in industries where unionism
was strong and long established
than in lines where labor organiza-
ton was new or only part.
The industries most directly con-
cerned with national defense, the
survey found. were 80 to 40 per
cent unionized, with aggressive or
ganizing campaigns under way or
projected in most fields"

has in this country alone remaining

England's war of imperialism, in
which democracy receives not the
faintest consideration. will result in
financial and economic calamities

The listing of that bill as No. 1776

Democracy Protection Denied.
Mr.. Marshall called on critics of
his committee to explain exactly
how this timeless slaughter overseas
protects democracy and thereby
protects the United States"
That" he said. "is an impossi-
blllty. For democracy is not and
never was the real issue in the Old
Worlds everlasting war, in which
an occasional armistice must be
agreed upon in order that govern

Nation Needs Leadership
To Heal CAPITALIZATION
Rift, Ryan Says
By the Associated Press.

SAN DIEGO. Calf, Jan. 20.-A
"lack of unified policy" on important
problems of national defense was
blamed yesterday by T. Claude Ryan,
airplane manufacturer, for the in
dustrial strife he said endangered
the Nations aircraft industry.
In his first interview since his
strike Threatened firm opened labor
contract discussions with the C. I. o.
United Automobile Workers. Mr.
Ryan told the Associated Press that
"the greatest need of the country
tooav is for leadership to heal the
breach between capital and labor
with full consideration to the rights
of all concerned"
Have No Ill-Feeling.'
I'VE have no ill-feeling toward our
workers, nor do they toward us.
Our present difficulties are the
result of outside influences and cur
rents of thought and action largely
beyond our control and theirs.
"Dismissing my own personal
views, by what manner of reasoning
can the country tolerate a situation
which requires compulsory military
training at $50 a month, and yet
permits stoppage OF the very work
which implements that compulsory
military program by essential work
ers who are paid five times as much
by US?
Industry has complied with the
request of William Knudsen (de-
fense commissioner to eliminate the
week end 'blackout' at war material
plants, and is paying labor a time
and one-half rate premium for this
added contribution to the defense
program The worker under no
compulsion to work overtime, is glad
to do his part to earn for himself
and his family the economic bene-
fits which result.
Thus the country's military pro-
gram is speeded up not at the ex-
pense of the worker, but rather to
his advantage"
Strike DeadIine Z AM. Tomorrow.
Mr. Ryan said that only the most
narrow minded can believe that bus
mess as group is attempting war
profteering at the expense of the
laboring man" and similarly none
can feel that isolated cases of radi-
cal labor agitation reflect the true
feelings of the American working
man
A new hope for peace was injected
in the discussions yesterday after
an overnight deadlock on the issue
of wages. The union has set a
strike deadline for 7 am. tomorrow.
Richard Frankensteen, chief C. I.
0. negotiator, said the union had
submitted another counter proposal
yesterday and that real progress
had been made" A company spokes-
man agreed prospects for a settle
ment were brighter.

In view of the fact that December

than December, 1899, the increases
recorded by all groups are impress
sive. The outstanding feature shown
by the compilation is the sharp ad-
vance in sales of the apparel stores,
whose sales in December, 1910, were
nearly IS per cent larger than in the
same month of the preceding year.
Because of the importance of Christ

New Painting by CornweH
MemorioIizes Walter Reed

Dean Cornwell, well-known il
illustrator and mural painter, is en-
gagged in painting series of pictures
of Pioneers of American Medicine"
of which the third has just been
completed, its unveiling taking
place in Cleveland this month at the
American Medical Associations an
nual convention. The subject of this
painting has special interest and
significance here, as the central
figure is the late Maj. Walter Reed
and the theme the conquest of
yellow fever. With Maj. Reed is
depicted his colleague, DR.. Carlos
Finlay, and around them are seen
grouped, Drs. Lazear, Carroll and
Agramonte, as we'll as John R. Kis-
singer, the first volunteer soldier to
be inocculated under the expert
ment, which led to the conquest of
the dread disease. This subject
was chosen at this time because of
its bearing on national defense, the
use of the Panama Canal being
dependent upon the stamping out of
yellow fever.
Paintings in this series previ-
ously completed are Beaumont and
st. Martin" and "Osler at Old Block
ley" both of which have been re-
produced in color.

Sufficiently traditional to be ap-
proved by academicians and yet
revolutionary enough to win the
favor of the advance guard, the
sculpture of Andrew O'Connor occu-
pies a unique place in the annals of
the art of America-which, per-
haps, can be best explained by say
ing that it was profoundly sincere
and yet essentially personal. In
1901, he received a bronze medal for
work shown at the Pan-American
Exposition, Buffalo, and in 1906

in the Paris salon. His statue of
Lincoln is in Springfield, Ill. In
