consist of nine members appointed
by the president, three each repre
senting the employers, employes
' and the public. The tribunal would,
in general, be a board of appeal,
whose decisions must be unanimous,
but provision was made for public
majority and minority reports in
cases where no agreement was pos
sible. Industrial regiens, probably 12 in
number, conforming to the federal
reserve svstem, would be outlined
and a regional chairman appointed
tor each by the president. Vice
chairmen would be named by the
'tribunal, if the work in any region
required it
Panels of employers and em

prepared by the secretary of com

respectively, alter coniereuccs wmi
the employers and workers of that
legion. Each panel, approved by
the president, would be classified by
, industries among the employers and
by industries, with sub-classification
' into crafts, among the employes.
; T.nts won Id be cast to determine the
order of names in each panel.
When a dispute arose in any re
gion, the chairman would request
each side to submit it to a regional

the chairman, one representative

Appointment of representatives of

pany. Mr. vvooa, wno rcLcimj
charged that some of the merchants
in Lawrence were demanding exces
sive prices, for necessaries and were
in the habit of raising prices with
every increase in wages in the com
pany's mills here, gave out a state
ment in response to a request for his
views upon the high cost of cloth
ing. "If you would consent," was his
conclusion, "to. wear good, substan
tial, durable clothes made of the
coarser wools, clothing could be pur
chased at considerably lower prices
than those which now prevail."
His statement in part follows:
"1: is generally thought that the
cost ot cloth is the Controlling factor
in the cost of clothing, but the fact
is that the cloth , cost is less than
half the cost of a completed suit,
and other iactors contribute quite as
much to the price of clothing.
"In the last five years the price of
cloth in the ordinary suit of clothes
has advanced no more, indeed, has
rdvanced a little less than the cost
of labor and other materials that go
into the making ot tne suit. ne
following figures show this, which I
have from a manufacturer and mer
chant of clothing of the highest
. : : Dir rtn
prominence 111 ,
-The cost in 1919 of the cloth for
a suit of clothes of a yard is $U.o.
The corresponding cost in 1914 was
$4.53, showing an increase in the cost
of cloth of $9.09. The 1919 cost of
making this suit is $14.47. The corre
sponding cost in 1914 was $4.48,
showing an increase in the cost of
making $9.49. . 1 , , .
"These figures show that cloth
contributes slightly less than labor
and other materials to the increased
cost of clothing. Therefore, to your

,' lems present themselves. First, goy
' ornmental regulation of public utili

Sind services. The conference con
siders that there must be some
merging of responsibility for regu-
latton of rates and services and the

of labor. Such co-ordination would

ond, is the problem whether some
: method can be arrived at that will
' Hvert all danger of interruption to
service. These matters require fur
ther consideration before concrete
proposals are put forward."
- After declaring that the govern
ment could not permit its functions,
" conducted in the interests of all the
'people, to be interrupted by con
certed cessation of work, the con
ference further affirmed that gov
ernment employes concerned with
the administration of justice or the
maintenance of public safety or pub
lic order should not be permitted, to
affiliate with any organization which
authorized the use of the strike. An
essential part of the application of
these principles, it was added, was
the establishment of tribunals to
remedy promptly any grievances
submitted by government workers.
Improved Legislation.
"Legislation of the ration, the
state and the municipalities." the
conference said, "should be im
proved to prevent delay in hearings
. and to enable speedy action when
there are grievances."

as having been invited to dinewith

paying him a visit.
There was great excitement in tne
city when the newspapers an
nounced the occurrence. Crowds
visited the scene during the after
noon.
. No Raid Intended.
In the absence of all official in
formation, the theory late tonight
is that no raid against the Viceregal
Inrio-p was. intended. It is sUDOOsed
that an isolated shot was fired when
Lieutenant Boast and two privates
went to investigate. It is not
thought that they reached the per
son who fired the shot and became
involved in a struggle with a pas
serby, who, with the lieutenant, was
killed.
It is reported that the dead civil
ian was a laborer who had oeen
treated at a Dublin hospital and was
walking home through the park. He
wore bandages on his lace, tne po
lice say.
No official report has been maae
by the police on the occurrence
which will be explained at the mili
tary inquest. The military officials
refer all inquirers to the police.
The name of the civilian killed is
said to be Laurence Carey, who re
s.irleH at I.nran. near Phoenix nark.
According to one version of the or
igin of the struggle, Carey ignored
the challenge to halt, and when the
?olHipr annrnarherl Carev seized
Boast, whereupon the soldiers fired
their pistols, killing Carey, mis
version does not state who shot

Falls Off Soap Box and Police
Inquiry Shows Reform
Talker Old Offender.
New York, Dec. 28. Martin Con
roy, 45, a temperance lecturer and
missionary, was before Magistrate
Levine in the West Side 'court on a
charge of public intoxication. Con
roy said he was married and has
four children.
He was arrested when he fell off
his soap box at Fifty-eighth street
and Sixth avenue, where, according
to Policeman Pointing, he was ad
monishing a crowd of 50 or more
who gathered about him, "to beware
of the awful curse of drink."
It was while delivering an ora
tion which contained, among other
passages: "Oh, cursed be the man
who drinks! Oh, cursed be the
man who touches red liquor," that
he lost his own equilibrium.
Admits Drinking.
Someone iA the crowd motioned
to Patrolman Pointing; and the po
liceman, thinking the man ill, sum
moned. Dr. Stokes of Bellevue hos
pital, who told the officer the mis
sionary was intoxicated.
I was drinking, your honor, ne
told Magistrate Levine, when ar
raigned in court.
You were drinking? incredible,
said the magistrate.
But, judge, continued the pris
oner, "I am a missionary. Yes, it s
all true, and if you will turn me
loose, judge, I II never drink again.
I have a wife and four children over
on the port side of Manhattan."
Tenth Arrest, Claim.
Magistrate Levine decided to let
the missionary go and had ordered
his finger prints taken. When Ed
ward Spector, finger print expert,
reported that Conroy had been pre
viously convicted nine times for the
same offense, there vy-as gloom on
the missionary's face.
"Well. I suppose, said the magis
trate, "a missionary can get drunk
as well as anybody else. The next
time you get drunk, do so over in
Brooklyn.

Lord, judge," said Conroy. And the

magistrate, chorused "Amen!"

bullet struck a bed in which was

With "the prayer around the
world" the. New Year will be ush
ered inv In a thousand tongues it
will be spoken at watch-night serv
ices in near and distant 'places; in
the great cities of the western world
no less than in distant villages on
eastern hills. It will be heard by
the kneeling woman in a New York
pew, by the barefoot Igroot head
hunter, by Chinese converts with
bowed heads, by Hindu women lis
tening reverently with their arms
folded'crosswise on their breasts, by
Persian, Japanese, Syrian, Russ, in
deed by all the peoples of the world.
From New York, its starting
point, the prayer has bfen sent
around the world by the Interchurch
World Movement of North Amer
ica, a movement to bring about
Protestant co-operation. By tele
graph it has been sent to the great
denominations of this country; by
cable it has gone to England and the
east. Thus it has been dispatched
to every mission center everywhere
and from evety mission center It
has gone on again in the language of
the country to every Protestant
mission station near and far.
First of Its Kind.
This prayer is the first ever to be
sent around the world, the first ever
to be translated into a thousand
languages and spoken' simultaneous
ly in countless places. With one
voice, though in many tongues, it
calls for "the elevation of justice and
of brotherhood" and appeals for the
hastening of that kingdom where
justice, mercy and love shall rule the
hearts and hands of men."
To Mexico City and Montevideo,
the prayer was cabled for South and
Central America; to Shanghai also,
and from there' it was relayed to
Japan, the Philippines, Malaysia and

prayer that went around the world.
The prayer for guidance to-replenish
a devastated earth' and stay the
unrest of perplexed peoples.
A Watch-Night Prayer.
Almighty God, Father of all man
kind, at the end of a year in which
malice has so often thwarted love,
we join the prayers of all Thy chil
dren around the world for peace, the
elevation of justice and brotherhood.
Thou Creator, possessor of all
things, who didst make the earth for
the races of men and didst set
bounds for their habitation, forgive
us our greed as we repent of our
s'n, and restore to all hearts the
recognition of the transcendent right
of human life to live.
Open our eyes, we beseech Thee,
to the dignity of labor, the sacred
ness of human service, and the priv
ileges of production, that nation may
join nation and man may join man

Popular Official of K. C. Auto
Ass'n Feels Like New Man
Since Taking Tanlac.
"I can not recommend Tanlac too
highly, for it has not only made a ,
new man of me, but several mem
bers of my family have taken it
with the best results, said CM.
Tucker, of 3821 Brooklyn street,
Kansas City, Mo., the well-known
and popular secretary of the Kan
sas City Automobile association, re
cently. Continuing, he said:
"Although I was in an awful con
dition when I began taking Tanlac
and have only taken five bottles in
all, I have gained 25 pounds in '
weight and feel better than I have
in years. '
"For some time past," he went
on, "I have had the worst sort of
stomach trouble and my appetite
was so poor I just had to force ,
down every mouthful I ate, and the
little I managed to eat in this way,
even if nothing more than a small
piece of toast, would cause me in-
tense misery. It would lie heavy,
on my stomach and gas would form "
and I would bloat something dread
ful. I also suffered with constipa-.
tion so bad I had to be taking some
sort of laxative nearly a!l the time,
and would have such dizzy spells
at times it was all I could do to '
keep from falling. Finally my t
nerves got in sueh bad condition I
could get but little sleep and the
little I did manage to get did not
seem to do me any good, as I would
always get up feeling tired and"
worn out. I lost considerable weight
and became so weak and run down
I was not able to work, and had '
about come to the conclusion I
would have to give up entirely. ,
"I had tried any number of dif-.
ferent medicines, but none of them,
did me any good. I had been read
ing so much about the good Tan--lac
was doing others and as some
of the statements were from peo
ple whose conditions were described
as similar to mine I decided to try .
it, and I had not taken a whole
bottle when I began to get better.
My appetite improved wonderfully
and my nerves began to get in bet
ter condition. I continued taking
it and continued to improve, until
now I am entirely over all my
troubles. I can eat anything I
want without suffering from any
bad after effects, and can sleep
all night long as peacefully as a
child and get up feeling" fine. I am
! never troubled with constipation
and never become dizzy any more.
j As I said, several members of my
! family have taken Tanlac and in
! every instance it has proved itself
to be a remarnanie medicine ana t
has given entire satisfaction. I keep
it in my home all the time ns a'.!
family medicine and never expect.!
to be without it again, and I never ;
mias an opportunity to tell others !
about what a great medicine it is.",'!
