Roger Babson's discussion of the future of labor throws new light on the whole matter. There may be dis- agreement from his plans to guard industry in the future against disturbance caused by strikes. There may be no disputing the statement, however, that he has given thinkers | something to ponder over. He would have, first of all, compul- sory arbitration of disputes in the {ndustries in which the public is especially interested, such as trans- portation and coal mining. The arbi- tration board would be composed, not of three men representing labor, three | representing capital and three repre- genting the public, as the Railroad Labor Board is now made but nine men or seven representing the safe up, pation, chosen for their ability, paid high salaries, ving positions, for life possibly the United State tices. Only the men work hereafter for these public util- fties would be bound to abide by the decisions of this board. The old men, having given their lives to the work under no rule that they must so abide by the decisions of any hoard, should remain free to do as they saw fit. They, however, would gradually cease to exist, and in a few rs, compara- tively, we would have men in those utilitles who would have gone to work knowing that the the ruling board, like the decisions of the | were binding upon had accepted aind oceu similar to those of Supreme Court Jus- new going to decisions of Supreme Court, them that they these conditions. In_other industries Mr. would have no compulsory tion. He would have competition, however, between groups of workmen. He would have union groups and non- groups. He the groups, and the owners employing the and ‘Babson arbitra- union would have men in those groups, compete against each other to see which method of work brought the greatest good with a view to production, welfare of work- ers and stockholders and general effi- ciency, Mr. Babson predicts that arrogance would come to either group | should it gain complete control. Full approbation may be given to the suggestion as to the boards such as the railroad labor The suggestion that only those workers be bound to obey the dictates of com- pulsory arbitration who go to work with that understanding, has a thor- oughly American sound. Workers would understand what they doing in accepting employment on a rallroad, for instance, and would not be compelled to accept such employ- ment unless they chose to accept the board. were The pecullarity | | @ ball straight of the second accomplishment fs em phasized by the romance in it for the This woman golfer drove the home of a bird's fmaginative into dear lttle bird-—a nest a Of course the woman wag not the nest, but that is a Not content with this tree ming at triffing matter, the lady tree and investigated climbed There achievement dear the posed the little white ball, quite re- like 8he glanced the tree at She seized truly, Ball, nest and home and the golf ball r the green within easy putting distance of a huge egg in the nest through the branches of the level green beyond her club and calmly, accurately, at the ball, of the bird flew on cruel struck yosad there the hole which was her objective, The story is repeated emphasize the fact that a man should himself doing what to be the unusual.

The new assoclation would be su- perimposed upon the present leaguex and Pan-American Union and would seek to*encourage regional and con- tinental groups rather than attempt to replace them entirely. It is de- signed to meet the American objec- tions to the league of nations with the primary purpose of co-ordinating the states and the world—not estab- lishing a super-state. Sixteen fundamental questions were submitted to the institute's members comprising many nationalities. Forty replies, many of them in elaborate detall, were recelved and studied. Presemt League Inadequate. The inadequacy of the league as a world groflping was frankly recognized and it was deemed wiser to let it remain as a sort of European organization. The insuffi- ciency of the league was declared to be based largely upon the attitude of the United States together with the absence of Gérmany and Russia and further because an error had been made in attempting to set up imme- diately a complete and finished or- ganization when the details must of necessity take time and experience. Other objections urged against the league were that it limits the sover- eignty of its member states makes | admission and withdrawal too diffi- cult and takes a too exclusively European view of things. The re- port holds that amendment of the league is too difficult, ‘While the league has many merits, | its operations, the report finds has| tended to separate than to draw| Europe and America closer together.

The commission after studying all | the phases of the situation formulated | a serfes of basic principles which the proposed organization must com- ply and then, in the light of these recast Professor Alvarez's initial plan evolving the text which was submitted today. are | 18 Articles. This convention, which consists of 18 articles, creates “a world associa- tion of states, which has as its mis- sion to establish llaison between the league of nations, the Pan-American Union and the states belonging to none of these groups.” “The association,” it says, “‘will consider questions of world or con- tinental interest. It will have as its duties, notably to watch over the general interests of humanity, take measures to eliminate the causes of war, initiate adequate methods for the pacific settlement of gonflicts be- | tween states, strengthen bonds of all sorts between countries, promote uni- versal cooperation and accomplish gradual codification of international | law. The association will act orly Ly means of recommendations. All members of the league ard the Pan-American union would automati- cally become members of the asso- clation unless specifically refused and the others would be admissible by two-thirds vote of the assembly. The assembly which would be the controlling body, would be composed of not to exceed three delegates from each country but each delegation would have only one vote.
