Mailing of ballots to service

and address. hav~ been obtained
by the Board of Elections shall
be made without any previous
application or request by the
service people.
Under the bill registration is
waived for all soldiers at home
or abroad, and permits soldiers
home on furlough to vote by
military ballot without the for
mality of registration. The law
also includes those who are serv-
ing in auxiliary forces, such as
the merchant marine, Red Cross
and USO.
Federal Ballot Rejected
Provisions of the labor adj
vocated bill which would give
servicemen the right to use the
supplementary federal ballot and
to keep voting booths open from
600 a. m. to 900 p. m. were re-
iected by the legislature. Point
two was also rejected with the
bill providing that only rela.
tives of servicemen may submit
names.
Labor leaders on the whole
are satisfied with the bill for
which labor is claiming the ma
jor credit.

Pick Temporary
Committee For
Two Units

One hundred Spicer office
workers assembled at Local IL
headquarters May l to hear the
terms of an NLRB directive or
dering representation election
at the Spicer plant which will
be held during May.
According to the terms of the
directive, the office workers will
be split into two units, one for
the office and clerical workers,
the other for the technical and
professional workers. Certain eX-
clusions were agreed to by the
union and company manage
ment; but additional exclusions
were ordered by the NLRB.
After discussing the terms OF
the directive, the office workers
agreed to accept it and named q
temporary committee of five 10

Unit of Local IL who is in charge

sided over the meeting and dis
cussed the NLRB directive. He

election would be won by the
office workers and urged those
present at the meeting to make
every effort to get their fellow
workers to become members be-
fore the NRLB election.

Ties Up WLB
The amendment would permit
the widest use of appeals and
motions and re-hearings that are
so well known to the legal pro-
fession and tie the War Labor
Board into so many legal knots

be encouraged to ignore its or

Ratio of Doubt" Analysis

To the Editor of The Star:
AS the time is approaching for the
quadrennial prediction of Mr.. David
Lawrence in connection with the presi-
Dental election, 1t is of interest to note
Mr.. Lawrence's forecast for 1910. I
have before me your issue of November
2, 1910, wherein Mr.. Lawrence states his
findings based on his ratio of doubt"
formula and arrived at without bias or
prejudice.
In columnar tabulation by States,
President Roosevelt is shown with 1876
votes, Mr.. Willkie like number, 139
votes being classed as doubtful. Mr..
Lawrence writes "all of those States in
the doubtful column have shown a
marked Willkie trend and it would not
be at all surprising if the Republican
nominee captured every one of them"
and he concludes with '"the ratio Of
doubt formula leads me to conclude
that Wendell Willkie will win the cleo
ton by a minimum OF 278 and a maxi
mum of 335".
Mr.. Lawrences prediction in connec-
ton with the 1914 presidential race Is
awaited with interest since 1t appears
that, In the meantime, he will have
taken steps to check the accuracy of
his sources OF information whereby he
arrived at his ratio Of doubt" formula

German Reporotions
By David laurence
Prom the New York Times.

FROM the new York Times.
The plans now being put forward for
the postwar treatment of GERMANY con-
fict with each other partly because Of
olnerences Of feeling on whether We
should impose relatively soft" or
hard peace. But they conflict partly,
also, because of the prevalence of eco
nomic misconceptions. There Is a wide
spread opinion, for example, that We
should not call upon Germany for rep
arations after the war. 1t is feared (D
that reparations would hurt the in
dustries Of the nations to which they
were being paid. and (O that the pay
ment OF reparations would strengthen"
industry in Germany, either by itself
causing industry there to expand or hy
forcing us to make German industry
strong in order that it might nav the
reparations. These fears rest on falla.
cies. 1t does. not make an individual
richer or stronger to be forced to paw
a heavy debt or tribute. If it did, one
way to enrich, strengthen and encourage
American industry would be to increase
instead of reducing the present drastic
taxes on both personal incomes and cor
porations. Such fallacies exist only be.
