 At the very height of the celebra- ton with the music raging in thun. derous tones, the door opened. and in rushed a band of masqueraders waving banners, blowing horns and scattering confetti.
 The orchestra started playing My Wife's Gone to the Country. Hurrah!"
 That was too muchl The masque- raders pulled the masks from their faces and the startled stags beheld their own wives.
 Before they knew it each one had a partner and was dancing merrily, regardless of entangled streamsrs and confetti, regardless of the m- expected interruption, regardless of everything. only conscious of the New Years Spirit.

They agreed. at the insistence of Moderator William H. Davis, to ac- cept whatever decision MT. Roose- welt made. The President ruled against excluding closed shop dis- putes. The government, he said, must act in general.
 "The particular disputes must be left to the consideration of those who can study the particular dif- ferences and who are thereby pre- pared by knowledge to pass judg- ment in the particular case" MT. Roosevelt said in his letter to the conference.
