An Excellent
TPHAT steel strike mediation
Madam Perktas, could hardly be improved upon.
Lloyd K. Garrison, a member
of Wisconsin, is an expert in
relations, with the highest possible standing in academic circles
Edward F. JIcGrady, assistant secretary of labor,' is a
practical minded and experienced worker in the labor organiza
tion field, who while friendly to labor, is broad minded, intelli
gent, and has a clear grasp of the intricacies of the problem,
from the standpoint of the employer.
Charles P. Taft, the third member, the son of former Presi
dent Taft, is a young and progressive Republican of the highest
type, admirably fitted to represent the public interest in the
controversy, and act as a connecting link between the academi:
theorist on one side, and the practical realist on the other.
fJECAUSE the committee has no coercive power, no legal
status, there are many critics, who regard this action, as
nothing but a futile gesture which can contribute little if any
thing to a solution of the present controversy.
We can't share this pessimism. True, there is nothing to
FORCE the disputants to accept the-, recommendations of the
mediation board, but unless we are much mistaken, their find
ings will have great weight with the people, and after all
public opinion is something, the leaders on neither side, can
ignore.
Indeed in the final analysis, public opinion will be the
deciding factor in this entire field of industrial conflict, how
the people of the country feel and what they think will' deter
mine the course which this country will eventually pursue.
Tbe final verdict of such a committee as this will therefore
have great weight. The side that either refuses to accept medi
ation, or accepting it refuses to abide by its recommendations,
will be decidedly on the spot as far as subsequent public sym
pathy and support, are concerned.

More specifically , It meant lack of

familiar forms of
asphyxia. Asphy

. Anoxia Is a new

Anoxia of the heart muscles la now
generally believed to be the Imme

hundred times greater affinity for
the hemoglobin In the blood than

of the blood, and this anoxemia Is
the cause of death or any symptoms

Enormously long,

and the sale price was prohibitive
.So I had a copyist, with the owner's
consent, turn out a cheaper version.

I've tried to be languid, stretching

from Charvet in Plsce Vendome. ach
ing to look pale and interesting. And
hoping somebody would drop in I'd
like to Impress so I could stretch
forth a wan hand and murmur "So
g-rcd of you, really."
I'd like also to have long wsvr
locks to trickle my fingers through
out that's out. There's scarcely a
thin skein left. I have a morbid
admiration for sickly languor. I've
otten longed to be a sort of he

to It was to recuperate from the

It may be and likely Is a press
agent drawing a long bow, but I have
several times read of a notorious play
boy calling up a dlrsy night club
from a French seaside resort to hear
the orchestra play his favorite tune.
Such idiocies bring out vandalism
and mayhem. With the want there Is
in the world for a wastrel to display
that sort of $500 extravagance makes
me want to burn down the night
club and serve as the No. 1 whipping
boy.

it Is a custom for such experts to eat

Ambulant Treatment
A year ago I received nine Injec
tions for hernia, and paid the full
fee. The doctor told me to remove
my truss only after I was In bed and
not to leave it off when I was on my
fert until six months. Then I felt a
alight sensation peculiar to hernia,
ftnd returned, for another Injection.
Ought I continue with htm or go to
another doctor? (A.F.P.)
Answer From what you &ay. It Is
my opinion that you should stick
with the doctor. Injection treatment
.'alls in some cases. Just as radical
operation does. If at first you don't

is the simplest course where ambu

It aa 'a needless, futile and utterly

"It should be so emphatically re

That la atrong language.
THE committee aaya:
"The bill would deatroy the

would make tbe government (of

Dictatorships are governments of

We want to retain free govern
ment In thla country.
THE committee adda:
"It (the court packing bill)
contalna the germ of a ayatem of
centralized administration of law
tbat would enable an executive so
minded to send HIS Judges Into
every Judicial district In tbe land
to ait In Judgment on controversies
between the government and - tbe

That la to aay, It contalna tbe
