Lawrence Redfern, pastor of the Willet Road 1'nitarinn church nnd member of the faculty of tho I'niversity of Liverpool, in an nd dresa thin morning in the journalism assembly room nt the l'nivernily of Oregon. The Rev. Mr. Redfern spoke especially of the political and eco nomic cond Cons of Knglnnd at the present time. Situation Interesting The general political situation is far more interesting in England at the present time than it has been for years," Rev. Mr. Redfern said. He attributed the new situation to the rie of the new Labor parly, making three parties instead of tho old Conservative-Liberal two-party regime. I nder the present sit tint ion no one of i he three has n majority in parlia ment independent t he ot her two, milking almost annual elections, as a result. Rev. Mr. Rrclfern declared thnt the primary need nf the country Is es tablishing a government to outlast the full period of five yenrs, and he prophesies that the present ministry will do so, probably with a mildly pro gressive policy. . Unemployment Pressing The unemployment problem was de clared to be the pressing problem of the moment in England. The citnntion is eMpecially acute in Liverpool, Rev. Mr. Redfern said. "What impref ea one, however," he sa d, ' is the indomitable patience of thee men." Joined to the unemployment Is the lack of adequate housing facilities.

A heated argument took place at a meeting of the atate board nf control today oyer the question of whether the atate, In Its contract for construction of the new state training school, should en1 forco a contract which has been signed and which 'provides thnt he contractor must come under the work' men's compensation act while on thnt work. Governor Tierce held thnt the contract should ho enforced, hut he was voted down by Htnte Treasurer Kay and Secretary of State Koncr and the contract will ho altered ac cordingly. Araumont Heated The contractor, It appears, la In sured with the Aetna Casualty nnd Surety compnny nnd Karl Lively, a representative of that firm, pnrtlcl pated In the discussion. It was claim ed Hint the policy furnished by the company provides for practically the same benefits ns provided hy tho stuto department. W. A. Marshall, of the Occident commission, sided with the governor In the argument, which became tropical ot times. The governor averred that the In surance companies "hold n knifo nt the heart of slate compensation anil will kill It." Kny declored that the governor had done more than anyone else to kill it by urging withdrawal of state aid for the department. Itoth the governor nnd Kny said they were In 'fnvor of state compensation, but the governor said ho favored compul sory insurance under the state com mission, while Kny said he opposed it. Mr. Kojor Votes Koicr's vole was on the hnsis of a precedent set when the same con tractor built a wing on the eastern Oregon Itinnne honpitnl at Pendleton. I The contract ot that lime provided for state compensation, but this pro- vision was not enforced by the etnte, j and It Is said the contractor signed n ! similar contract for the training ; school in the supposition that again it j would not ho enforced. The action taken today does not es tshlish a policy with respect, to fu ture contracts. This is to be taken : up later.
