In Great Britain where the labor
problem of late has been unusually
trying there la a casting about for
Borne effective method of preventing
and settling dispute petweeu employ
ers and men. Much hope Is express
ed that the Industrial Council
centlv orgunlzed by the governmen!
may bring about grently Improved
relations. The council consists
twenty six-members, besides the
chairman who Is the Comptroller
General of the Labor Department oi
the Iloard of Trade, Or the twenty
six members one half are chosen by
the employers and one-half by the
wage earners, and the men selected
by both parlies rank high for their
iersoaiai wortn and otiaiiiicauons
While the council has no compul
sory powers Its moral Influence wl
be great, as It Is empowered, on re
quest, to take suitable action in dis
putes affecting the principal trades
of the country which the parties
themselves are unable to settle. It
Is to be hoped that the council may
realize the expectations formed. Cer
tainly Hb operntlon will be sympa
thetically watched In this country
whero disputes between labor and
capltul nre so frequent, costly and
disastrous.

greater strides within the past few

pockets to curry on a work thnt Is

Let a town or a home ho without
a newspaper and iguorunce and nar
rowness at once assert themselves.
It is when by some mischance people
are deprived of tho use or their local

oars and mouth ot the community
to learn the news and dissomlnnto It
among the iwople. It may not al
ways be faultless, but thero Is no oth
er medium thnt can take Its plane,
and there Is no other Binglo factor
thnt does so much for the mntorlnl
and social welfare of the town.
There Ib only one way to get the
happenings of the day and that Ib
through the columns of Tho News.
Yesterday we told our reoders of the
capture of the stage robbers besides

Coos Hay People Do Not Itellsli Idea
or ruonon.
xiAWSiiPiRl.D. Or.. Nov. 27. The
renort that the treasury department
contemplated giving up the customs
office at this place and making Coos
Hav a siibport of Portland Instead of
n i.o.nriiln nort of entry, as Is now
the case, caused action to 1)0 token
by the chamber of commerce, and
every effort will be made to prevent
the change While there has been In
the past but very little foreign trade
with this place, it is held that the
in.-r.-!,ul.iL' lumber business of the lo
callty will make much more In the
future. The C. A. Smith Lumber
Company Is going Into tho China
market, and the chamber of com
merce will try to show that this pluce
should be retalued as a port or entry.
Hush McLuin. who was chosen to
represent Coos liny at the Rivers and
Harbors Congress at Washington,
was Instructed to do everything in
Ills power to prevent the change, and
Congressman llawley will be asked
to ulve a definite statement as to
hla ooslllon In the matter.
The Coob Hay representative to the
congress will also make a light for
Jetty improvements at the entrance
to the harbor. While the bar dredge
lor which 1400,000 was appropriat
ed by congress Ib acceptable, the
people want tho Jetty repaired and
rebuilt, so that the sand will not
shoal on tho bar. Congressman llnw
lev while here was shown the con
dition or the Jetty and promised to
do what ho could to got appropria
tion.. This Is the main purpose of
the delegate from Coob liny to the
Rivers and Harbors congress.
