HOME RULE GIVES LABOR EVENJHEAK Editor of Dayton Labor Paper Says Labor Gets a Square Deal Gitizens Tell Complaints to Commissioners. VV 0 R K E RS SATISFIED

Editor's Note: Clarence B. Greene, director of the Dayton Bureau of HeHuarch, has prepared a series of articles on lionm rule for the Palladium. Thu Cifclitli follows: In any city where a radical change in municipal government is proposed, the opponents of the proposition raise the issue that the departure from the old order of things will not meet the approval of labor. Commission-manager government proposals have not escaped these assaults from the professional politician, who would use labor to his own selfish advantage. The politician has argued that commission-manager government is highbrow and not the kind to give the laboring man a real voice in municipal affairs. In some instances the political tubthumper has been able to sway a portion of labor to his way of thinking, but in a majority of cases the worker has been amply shown that commission-manager government is more to his advantage than the federal form, with its political log-rolling and sectionalism. The best evidence of labor's satisfaction with commission-manager government is to be found in Dayton, O., where the majority of the workers are found solidly behind the system. Discussing this plan of municipal government, E. A. Nunan, editor of the Labor Review, published by and for organized labor, made the following statement which is a sample of the average point of view of the workers of that city: Labor Satisfied "From the standpoint of the laboring man no objection can be voiced to the commission-manager form of government. In fact, our experience in Dayton has shown the system to be satisfactory in every respect; not meaning "That labor receives any special consideration, but it does receive all that it asks an even break. "Probably we have been exceptionally fortunate in this city, in that every man who has been elected as commissioner has made personal sacrifices in order to accept the position. The commissioners are innocent of any knowledge of partisan political methods, and,-thffrtfarrfifser the'TmsI-" ness of the city in the same manner as they would a commercial enterprise, and are not called upon to consider the possible political significance of their every act. "The meeting of the five commissioners is decidedly informal. The object of the commission Is to get results, which means there is no uppish dignity connected with the weekly gatherings of that body. Any citizen who has a complaint to make or a suggestion to offer merely drops into the commission room, tells the commissioners what he ha3 to say, and goes on about his business, knowing that whatever he has offered the commission will be fully considered. In this way the government is brought down to the people, as the humblest citizen receives the same consideration, and his voice is just as potent in reaching a decision as is that of the richest man in town. This is not theory it is an actuality. Service Rendered "From each dollar expended the city probably receives 25 cents' worth of service that it did not get under the old political plan, and as the workingman really is the fellow who must pay all the cost of operating a city, this one item contains a strong appeal. "However, it must not be understood that if professional politicians should le elected commissioners they do aa much if not more harm than was possible under the old system. "Labor will find the comtnissionmanager plan an ideal or.c, provided labor investigates all candidates ani fleets only those whose civic pri.l" i.-. l;nown to be superior to their personal interests or their inlitical ambitions. There are many such men to be found in every community at least, Dayton has been ab'e to find them." Those political wiseacres who have been working overtime to create doubt in the public mind as to labor's attitude toward commission-manager government will find scant comfort in Mr. Nunan's message. The workers of this city should weigh most carefully the words of Editor Nunan. .and reflect upon pajit conditions here, before they allow themselves to be misled by self-seekers, who at best are working for individual rather than public interest. I'vrv workingmnn in t'u's city should ff'-nily urge the enactment of th" law which will allow the election of a new commission, pledged to th" appointment of a capable and earnest city manager. Revive Dealfars In International Securities (Hv sFoeiateil Tress) NEW YORK, Dec. 1. The practice rf international dealings in securities tinder joint noeount arbitrage arrangements suspended by the stock exchange in 1f13. w.t revived here today. The only difference between the practice as revived and that before 1S13 is that dealings on the London and Amsterdam exchanges will be conducted direct from brokerage houses instead of on the floor of the stock exchange. Brokers said business of this nature is likely to be more brisk with Amsterdam, than with London since rules in London restrict such trading to nctnal cash transactions, thus preventing profits by "short' 'transactions. Cable transmission to Amsterdam, also, is

swifter they said. ., ; I

UNITED STATES READY TO RECOGNIZE MEXICO fP.y Associated Tress) WASHINGTON. Dec. 1 The way to resumption of u!l diplomatic relations between the I'nited States and Mexico apparently was cleared today with a proposal from Secretary Coiby for the appointment of commissioners by the two governments to draw up a treaty basis. Embodied in a letter to Robert V. Pesquiera, Mexican confidential agent in Washington, Secretary Colby's proposal, declaring the complete understanding reached between himself and M. Pessjuicra in their recent conversations now remained only to be given in treaty form, was taken to Mexico Ciiy by M. I'esquiera when he left here last, week to attend the Inauguration of President Obregon. This was disclosed when the secretary's letter was made public here last night. Declaring his conversation with M. Pesquiera had left no "reasonable doubt of the high and enlightened purposes that actuate the present government of Mexico," Secretary Colby also asserted that the expressions contained in M. Pesquiera's recent letter urging recognition by the United States "should allay the fears of those who have acquired land titles" in Mexico. j Lower Prices Not Expected !

WILSON OFFER IS ACCEPTED BY COUNCIL

; Reply to President Wilson's Offer to Act as Mediator m Armenia Being Drafted Proposal Meets Approval. SPAIN, BRAM TO JOIN (By Associated Tress) GENEVA, Dec. 1. A letter to President Wilson, accepting his offer to act as mediator in Armenia was being drafted by the Council of the League of Nations here today. Mr. ! Wilson's note, which was received this l morning, was read to members of the council at 10:30 o'clock and was received with marks of liveliest satisfaction. It was announced this afternoon that Spain and Brazil had offered to join i President Wilson in his role of Armenian mediator. This offer has been embodied in the reply to Mr. Wilson framed by the council. President Wilson's acceptance cre-j ated a great impression when it was; announced today. "Poor old Europe will feel less abandoned," was a remark made by a member of the French delegation while discussing the matter. j The news gave the assembly great relief, as the Armenian question had become the bugbear of the assembly. Much Speculation. There is much speculation as to what form the mediation of Armenia will take. A. J. Balfour, a leader of the British delegation, remarked to the assembly the other day that in order to negotiate it would be necessary to offer Mustapha Kemal, chief of the Turkish nationalists, something, either money or territory and this remark is recalled in connection with Mr. Wilson's known opposition to the disposition made of some parts of the territory of Turkey by the Sevres treaty. Prediction is made here that in the, end the Greeks may pay the price for saving what remains of the Armenian people. "President Wilson's action Is a big step toward a solution of one of the most serious problems before the assembly," was the way Lord Robert Cecil characterized the American president's acceptance. Brinos Relief. ,.. "That l..?tudciuLiMF"r he-declared when" the information was given him. ' It brings relief to all of us who are trying to find a way to help: the Armenians out of the difficulty. Mr. Wilson's acceptance is commendable and worthy of the best traditions of the United States which have always been a friend of Armenia and taken the lead in alleviating her sufferings. "The decision of President Wilson is not in any sense political, from my point of view and cannot give encour agement to all those who wish to secj the United States in the league. It is i simply a natural development of an old, humanitarian policy." Dr. Fridtjof Nansen who had been one of the first to become interested j in Armenia, and is a member of the) committee considering developments; in that country, was rather inclined to; pessimism yesterday. When he heard the news today, however, he beamed with joy. "We have found the man," he cried, "and the rest will be easy." Bulgaria Doubtful Application by Bulgaria for admission to the league of nations was expected to be brought up today at the session of the assembly of the league. Serbia, Greece and Rumania had indicated they were seriously opposed to the admission of Bulgaria, and it appeared probable they would make an issue of the matter. At a meeting of the commission for the admission of new members yesterday it was indicated that Austria would be accorded membership in the! league without a dissenting vote. While the commission discussed Austria's application for some time, no final action was taken, but all the delegates expressed themselves in favor of admitting that country to the organization. Objections Voiced Another attempt was made today to gain approval of the league's budget for ihe forthcoming year.. This matter came before the assembly yesterday but objections were voiced by several nations, delegates from New Zealand, Australia and India pointing out that in their opinion 7,000,000 francs in gold was an excessive amount. Albert Thomas of Great Britain, head of the International labor bureau, explained contemplated expenditures by that organization and Sir Eric Drummond, general secretary of the league participated in the argument, explaining the need of the amount named. As a result of the protests of delegates another meeting of the economic commission was held this morning for the purpose of once more going over the estimates preparatory to submitting the budget at this afternoon's session. The council of the League of Nations today unanimously approved the invitation drawn up by the military commission calling on the United States to name a representative to sit on the commission. The invitation, the text of which was made public and cabled in news dispatches last night, expressed the view that the general consideration of the subject of a reduction of armam'ents would be "greatly facilitated" if the United States government could see its way to send a representative to sit in a consultative capacity with the commission. Following the council's approval of the invitation at its session today a note cmhndylng it was dispatched to the Washington government.
