LABOR WILL PROTEST FORCED ARBITRATION

iBy L nltrd Pr.) J-AlVTIilORE, Md., Nov. 13. Warn- ' i? that union labor will oppose with Its -power any attempt to put v.; rough Consree a compulsory arbitration bill, as proposed by President Wilson, waul given today when the executive committee of the American Federation of Labor, at the Federation's thirty-sixth annual convention, read its report. "The wage earners of the United States." said the report, "will oppose :ny proposition to Imposo upon ' them compulsory Institutions which disKuis Involuntary servitude. They hold that the principle involved in voluntary institutions is tne key to personaJ and industrial freedom and that this principle is of more Importance to them ;han any other consideration. "The immediate problem involved is a class problem, but the principle involved In compulsory Institutions, even tor a class in our republic. Is of concern to the whole republic, for wo know that the republic cannot be maintained part free and part slave. "Involuntary and compulsory labor ince enforced, even for a single hour, will not halt at its temporary enforcement, but will go on and become permanent. . "In human institutions when a x.rongful course has been pursued it ir.evitably is held or driven on to its logical conclusion of error. Then there ;s no retrieving' except by a convulsion brought about by a revolution. "The human labor power which this law compels wage-earners to give to employers against their will is inseparable from the body and the personality of the wage-earners. It is part of the men and women themselves. They cannot be forced to work for an employer against their wills witSnout reducing" them to the legal condition of slaves and transforming their minds and spirits into those of slaves. No more dangerous proposition has ever been proposed than this compulsory Investigation measure." In conclusion, the committee recommends that the convention take a strong stand againet it and "in favor of the maintenance of Institutions and opportunities for freedom." Discussing- the arbitration principle, the committee viewed it as second in

Importance on the general admtnistra- j tion program to the eint-hour day ! principle. j "This effort to again subject wage- , earners to involuntary servitude has j aroused the determined resistance of j wage-earners generally," it continued. To their declarations against involun- : tary servitude the proponents of the J legislation have replied that although i a strike would be made illegal under; the proposed law r.r.il strikers crim- j in.t. yet Individ :i:i workers were not ; ierrlvod of the right to quit work. The committee, taking up politics, j Urged woman's suffrage, Porto Rican iatfependencva, government ownership ' of telegrapa and telephone lines, a na- ! tional child labor law, a minimum j wage law for the government, exten- . sion of the eisht-hour law to all gov-'

ernmsntal departments, exclusion from interstate commerce convict labor products, preparedness, vocational training as a means to preparedness, and a host of other planks designed to help the cause of labor. During the year, the report stated, strikes cost the Federation $8,708,000. T-wo hundred and sixty thousand people were involved in them. One thousand one hundred and thirty-five strikes were won; 133 were compromised; 305 are pending, and 69 were lost. The federation gained neaTly 218,000 members and Issued 2,700 charters to organizations Joining it. Death benefits p'aid totaled J3.264.310, sick benefits totaled $1,068,609. Failure because of the war to arrange an international meeting of iabor Organizations was announced w. ith regret by the committee. Both Herman and British leaders, it was stated, frowned on the suggestion. The committee commented on the "transferring from federal to state courts injunction proceedings against labor organizations." This was held due to amendments to the anti-trust act whic'a "declared labor not a commodity. A decision of the Massachusetts court declaring unconstitutional a law designed to prevent the Issuance of injunctions against labor organizations was attacked strenuously as "Justifyi!tc the principle that labor or labor

NBW YORK, Nov. 13. Abas. Salome, likewise the sensuous Kgyptian and the tantalising, wriwling hula-hula maid, each of whom, it appears, took, a lesson from Miss Hootchle-Kootchie America is to have a new stage dance. Methchorie. or geometrical 'dancing is Its label and Mm. Valentine le fcatnt Point is its exponent. Sne now enroute to New York on the Monstenat from Harcelona. Spain. The dancing which she will introduce has a "cerebral quality." Which is explained thusly: While music, painting and sculp ture have changed in form and method becoming more "cerebral" instead of merely emotional, dancing has remained an art which appeals through the eye, to the eense alone. In the new geometrical dancing all of the elements which fill the house when Mary Garden dances Salome are retained and artistries are introduced giving the movements' meanings. The dances are staged with Mme. de Saint Point's own poems set to music by Debu'ssey, Ravel and other composers. In some the garb Is very light; in one, however a coat of mall only slits for the eyes is worn.

BAD BREATH Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets Get at the Cause and Remove It

More than half the slates in the country, twenty-five to be exact, are now in the "dry" column. At the recent election six states weot over to prohibition: Michigan, Nebraska, South Dakota, Montana, Utah and Florida. The latter two did not vote directly on prohibition, but legislatures pledged to the dry cause were elected. The territory of Alaska has also voted the saloons out.

It Is declared, "is wholly doematic: the only line of argument thnt the judges condescend to offer is the declaration of fellow judges." The committee suggested it be empowered to try to obtain the repeal of tne decision and to replace the- old law with one that will stand the test of courts. That there is a concerted movement in iabor organizations toward the "new freedom." an awaltenin? to new conditions, was sted. "There Is a growing understanding." it was said, "of the real service that law ought to perlorm for society, that it ought to serve the best interests and welfare of the people t:iat human welfare is of gre.ater significance to a nation than undeviat'n.sr conformity to precedents." Discusyirigr the work done by the CV)..id'.r.r organizations, the committee stated that a movement would be started at the next session of Parliament for the repeal of the Canadian act that prevents strikes during1 investigation. Enlistments in the Canadian regiments overseas in the European war have cost tne organization
