UNIONS OFFER SOLUTION FOR HOME PROBLEM British Builders Agree to Construct 2,000 Houses in Record Time. DEMOCRATIC DIRECTION MANCHESTER, England. May 20. When the British government decided after the armistice that It would have to shoulder the responsibility of erecting at least half a million houses .to meet the acute shortage of small houses throughout the country, It was believed the municipalities would be able to carry through the necessary building schemes for their respective localities. After a year's experience, this plan Was found to work too slowly, and the government undertook to subsidize private building. It is felt, however, that neither one nor yet both of these schemes will be ;jble to overcome one of the chief hindrances to speedy building—the apparently limited supply of labor. Jn this connection the novel and bold proposals put forward In Manchester by the builders themselves are , arousing public Interest and speculation—the builders propose to eliminate the contractor and become contractors themselves. A building guild committee has been formed from the ranks of the trade unionists, and has offered to build 2.00 e houses for the corporation, and to build them more quickly than private or public enterprise could hope to do. Xhe committee professes to have a monopoly of labor in the district, and assert* that men working under conditions arranged by themselves for themselves and free from profiteering, will put a zeal and energy into, their work which is certain to make for efficiency and speed. LABOR CAN BE GUARANTEED. . Whether- the corporation will be able to accept this offer has not yet been decided. as the guild committee Is not prepared to give the usual financial guarantees, though they can guarantee the necessary supply of labor In a way the ordinary contractor can not do. The committee states that the power of a group to produce should supersede bank credits based on the purchasing power of gold. This scheme of the builders' guild Is necessarily of the nature of an experiment —an experiment which wUI advance the guild idea out of. the realm of lheory and submit this Idea *o its first prai - tical test.

The= guild idea is founded on the belief that workers will do more and better werk in a democratically governed industry than they will do under any system of individual or state control; no anxiety Is entertained Cast discipline will break down: on the contrary. It is claimed that it will be r-ore willingly mbmitted to than when Cls.’ipiine is 'Oiposed from above. DEMOCRATIC CONTROL 90 PREVAIL. The building guild committee in question Is taking steps to secure the best services and talent—manual and non manual —but democratic control will prevail from the chief director downward. The terms of employment are not as yet made known, but they have been arranged on “Just and generous" lines, and are certain to do with one serious existing grievance—that the bpilder does not work, and consequently Is not paid, for hours, days or weeks when It rains; contracts will be taken upon a system of cost-plus percentage for net profit and overhead charges. All trade anions of Manchester and district connected with the building trade have extended their hearty support to the building guild committee. Should the experiment at Manchester prove a success, the example of the ituildlng guild committee will be foliawed throughout the country. Peace Resolution Hit in Butler Collegian Adoption of a resolution for pea'-e with Germany and Austria-Hungary by the United States senate Is sharply criticised in an editorial In the Butler College Collegian. The editorial follows a referendum at the college In which the league of nations was favored by a large majority. It Is entitled “The People Take Up the Challenge" and scores the senate's aversion to the Wilson treaty because of political reasons. .

The report carried the election of dele-gates-at-large, president electora-at-lsrge, alternates and contingent electors amt tjje ratification of Mr. Taggart’s nomination was carried by a unanimous vote. The vote was followed immediately by a speech by Claude G. Bowers of Ft. Wayne, who discussed in detail the failure of the Goodrich administration. The party platform was placed in its final form at 5 o’clock this morning by the platfrom committee after an allnight session. It contained ’a stro'ng plank unqualifiedly indorsing the Wilson administration and demanding ratification of the peace treaty as presented to congress by the president. This plank was adopted despite reported opposition by Vice President Marshall, according to members of that body. The platform contains no mention of prohibition. Some effort was made at the committee meeting to place a wet plank In the platform, but it was voted down by a large majority after considerable argument. The democrats declared for the repeal of the tax law with the substitution of such a law as would restore local self government to the communities of the state. The governor's pardon record was assailed by the committee in Its report, as was his mismanagement of state institutions. The-'piatform committee was unique In that one of the thirteen members was a woman. She is Mrs. Adelbert Flynn of Logansport, the first woman ever to serve on a platform committee of either of ths leading parties in Indiana.

A good many people wanted me to go as delegate at large from Missouri but I thought best to stay away from the whole thing." MICH IGA N SESSION STRONG FOR HARMONY - GRAND RAPIDS, Mich..

Mr. Frank Harbaugh of Cincinnati, Ohio, who has been a barber for more than forty years, recently made the following statement: “Anyone can prepare a simple mixture at home, at very little* cost, that will darken gray hair, and make it soft and glossy. To a half-pint, of water add 1 ounce bay rum, a small box of Barbo Compound and % ounce glycerine. These ingredients can be bought at any drug store at very little cost Apply to the hair twice a week until the desired shade is obtained. This will make a gray-haired person look twenty years younger. It fc easy to use, does not color the mql delicate scalp, is not sticky or gry and does not rub off.’’—Ad-

MAHSUDS FAIL TO SURRENDER Settlement of India Rebellion Delayed Over ‘Ruse.’ t CALCUTTA, India, May 20—Messengers recently arrived from the Mabsuds with the announcement that complete surrender of rifles would be made during the day. Arrangements were accordingly made aud the time for the surrender fixed for 5:30 p. m. 1 The Mahsuds, however, spent the day in arguing and at the appointed time were still discussing the situation. It was not until sundowp that the enemy procession, 300 strong, appeared. When they were examined it mas found that they represented but a small pro I ortion of the tribes and had brought but a fraction of the rifles. They were therefore informed that, firstly, they were late in fulfilling their instructions: secondly, the arms they tad brought were nowhere near the full number, ami as It was too dark to check those that they had brought the settlement could not be made that night. They therefore returned over the hills to their own place. The whole thing was probably a bluff to test the immutability of the terms offered to them, and to try to secure a sectional settlement. The next day a fully representative deputation approached the camp and pleaded for a week's armistice to collect the rifles, which was refused. They then asked to ibe allowed to collect them by their “cbniwastls," a kind i of local special constable. This, an old subterfuge, was declared Impossible, but a further two daya was granted to them In which to make a complete surrender. This the tribesmen failed to da. and a few days later the Derajat column moved | up the river to Lahda. about five miles from Kanjguram. Another deputation then appeared and ! petitioned for a further ten days' grace, 1 which was refused. This constant double-dealing, which thas so often been condoned in the past. | makes It clear that the present operai tlons must teach the tribes such a lesson 1 as will make any similar expeditions un necessary In the future. The operations have from the first been I of an entirely punitive character, and the long catalogue of crime* which made j them necessary includes every form of I treachery and savagery, and the utmost patience and forbearance were exercised before pnnilive measures were adopted.

VANNUYS SAYS DUTY WILL CURE (Continued From Page One.) breach the controversy has become more or less a free-for-all. GOODRICH SPOKE AND LEFT TOWN. Gov. Goodrich said his say and left the city. Then Mr. VanNuys Jumped into the verbal fray yesterday with a statement supporting the remarks of Judge Anderson and asking the governor to “place his cards on the table." The district attorney Justified the statement of the federal Judge. “Gov. Goodrich apparently wishes to make the public believe Judge Anderson is seeking to govern the state courts and the state officials.'’ said Mr. VanNuys in his first statement. “Such Is far from the facts, as any one acquainted with the federal court knows. "Judge Anderson was fully Justified in the statement of facts made by him in opgn court." ADAMS SPEAKS ON “ASSUMPTION." . The statement given out by Mr. Adams, in which he disagreed with Mr. VanNuys, in part, follows: “I do not desire to enter Into a controversy with Mr. VanNuya. or any one else concerning Judge Anderson's state-

ment about the laxity of state courts in dealing with automobile thieves.” “I assume that neither the Judge nor the district attorney referred to the prosecution of such offenders in the courts of Marion county, for of the ninety-eight persons tried during mj term as prosecutor for this class of offenses, ninety-one have been convicted, and of these, sentence has been. suspended In but six cases and Judgment withheld in only four. “I am sure that other and more cogent reasons Impelled congress to pass the federal law upon this subject than the alleged laxity of the state courts.” y Annuls Marriage of Mrs. Kellogg John S. Smith, sitting as special Judge in superior court, y room 3. granted a petition of Mazie Ayres' Kellogg, 1723 North Meridian street, asking for an annullment of marriage from Henry M. Kellogg.
