This communityof interest, to my mind, is the secret of ending these industnal conflicts. “There seems to be an unalterable opposition on the part of both em-|gates to learn to know him, to aid ployer and worker to the bringing him to become a real American if he into any dispute of @ third ‘party|is worthy, and to send him whence vested with any coerc.ve powels sul- ficient to fore a setiement.; Our péople have rot endorsed any policy |all aliens, the Secretary recommend- of compulsion in <ealing with these disputes. The principles of enforced arbitration, in any guise, is generally rejected by both parties to these con- troversies: “It has been the experience of the Department of Labor ‘that disinter- ésted, intelligent, practical concilia- tion is capable of ending many of these disputes. In the less than ten years that the departmeidt has been in existence, the Conciliation Service, hampered by limitations in. personnel and equipment,, has accomplsiea much in these disputes. It has hand- led thousands of them, involving mil- lions of workers. It has had no arbi- trary power, no coercive authority.

Of all the cases handled by this ser-| vice more than 90 per cent of the dis- putes have been adjusted through their eftorts or with their co-opera- tion. Furthermore, where 70 per cent of thede disputes in which the ser- vice acted when it was organized reached the stage of a strike or lack- out, today less than 30 per cent of them become actual suspensions of work before they are adjusted. «“Jt seems to me that before enact- ing any radical legislation or chang- | ing, .the administration scheme .for dealing with these strikes, we might .well consider the perfecting and ex- teppion ‘of the machinery whiih has | may’s soldier dead, most of whom proved so effective in the past.

In: many of, these cases of apparent Aailure, however, the efforts of a con- ‘ciliation - commissioner become the ultimate basis of settlement.” ;.,Ag to ~unemployment the report " «Here we hzve two problems to meet—to prevent a recurrence of the employment depression whiih threw between five and six million men into idleness and to reduce the number of our workingmen who are daily with- out means of livelihood. 3 “We have a powerful agency in meeting both of these probiem in the ! United Stafes Employment Service, | which, fully organized and equipped, would have its finger at all times up- 'on. the pulse of the labor supply and demand of the country. The past year this service, with its cooperat-| ing agencies, proved its effective- | ness. It listed between 2,500,000; workers seeking employment, and| placed nearly 1,500,000 of them in| jobs without expense to the worker | or employer. Its usefulness and the | need for its development are plain. “The causes of idleness among our workmen call for instant remedy. In- dustrial strife and unemployment of- fer opportunities to the enemy of government too favorable for us to overlook them. Whenever worker and employer clash and when men are enforced idleness, here is the op- portunity for the unscrupulous em- ployer with his hired guard, his mer- cenary plug-ugly: There, too, the ultre-red radical finds conditions ripe | for his efforts. Both threaten the sub- version of all government, as they preaih, contempt for law and order, and by stirring the passiond and hate of men bring to fruition their gospel of violence and bloodshed. These things are a menace to our whole na- know that we are deciding each case according to the real. facts. i “We owe to the America of today and to the America of tomorrow, the duty of educating in Americanism the 7,000,000 naturalizable aliens who are today in America outside the pale of citizenship.

Wilson) (United Press Staff Correspondent) Plymouth, Eng., Dec: 12—Lady Astor, M. P., continues to be the ranking local wonder of the world to her fellow citizens of Plymouth. During the bitter campaign just | ended, which returned the former Virginia beauty to her seat in the House of Commons, Plymouth could be relied upon to turn out in full force to see her pass along the street in her car When she spoke, the woman who broke the barriers for her sex into the staid home of the mother of Par- liaments, was ag much looked at as listened to. “Ledy - Astor” it may be in the Blue Book of England, but to Ply- mouth friends and foe alike, its plain “Nancy.” Her millions, popularly reckoned around twenty-two, adds glamour to her. But in spite of the possession of them, she is called a true politi- cian and can call thousands of her constituents by name. They like it, these seabred Plymouth people, to have their richest fellow townsmen on an intimate and friendly foot- ing" with them. Throughout polling day in Ply- mouth crowds lined the streets, ob- structing traffic, refusing. to move, insisting that they be allowed to watch the coming and going of their world famous candidate. Plymouth was warm under the collar, regard- ing the chences of labor, represent- ed by a large and bellicase minority, and Lady Astor, nominally a conser- vative, but running more on her rec- ord ‘as an individual intensely inter- ested in social reform and better- ment of conditions than under the! strict yoke of a party label, Polling boothg here reminded one of .the same places in the United States when the liquor question was being threshed out on the local op- tion plan. Plain and determined women were there in great numbers. They were working for Lady Astor. “Now you’r in again, Lady Ast- or, what apout prohibition? Will you put it over this time?” “It's not prohibition,” she hotly declered, “but the increasing activity in all the churches, the growing need for “efficiency, and economy felt by ‘tional existence.
