The President goes -on to say "in the matter of intcrua Ylomil disputes which have led to war, statesmen hnve sought to set up ns a kerned v arbitration for war. Does not this point the war for the settlement pf industrial disputes by the establish ment of a tribunal, fair and just to all, Which will settle industrial disputes which in the past led to war and dis aster?" , , The narnllel is not perfectly clear, for the President himself, when hesct to work to organize the world against future wirs, rejected the plan of ar bitration nnd cuused to be incorpor ated into the treaty of Versailles a cov enant of .n league of nntlons. Tne President has not himself- been a strong hollpvpr In International tribunals, such as he turns to now ns a parallel for his organization of industrial society. ' rntA.nfoA If nt wf.ll. nerhflris. 1(1 Insist too strongly Upon the letter of this parallel lint in gencroi, uieuinu:.- man Y,n fipirivl nthltrntlnn lirfffMl it not on the ground that It would prevent all wars, but on uie ground maj u wumu deter the resort to war. Given n cer tain period In which to think over their grievances nnd forced to talk them over In the open before impartial third par ties, it was felt that there would be few wars. Arbitration yould give tlmo for cooling off. And it is some such arbitration as tlila In Industrial disputes that close advisers of the President hnve had In intmi. It una nronosed bv some mem bers of the public group in the unhappy industrial oonierenrc cnueu ratniu I.At tUn (fr1if fn atrlbft nlinuld be nosi- tlvclv denied only to certnin cmplocs of fhn stntn. such ns policemen, nrcnieu, Rnbllprs. etc. It was proposed also that there should be n sort of industrial twilight 7one, where, though the Industry waR In pri vate hands, the national interest should be paramount, sucn ns hip nuiiumm. coal mines, etc.; where the right in strike should not be denied, but where it should be mniic conuiiionui. In Mich industries arbitration should be compulsory to this extent, that no strike should be colled until n certain period, say ninety dnvs. had been given to investigation of claims by on impar-ii-i ..i.n f,i.min1 wlilen Hiinuld re port recommendations. Iloth labor and enpitair however, It was proposed, should be free at the end of the period to reject the recommendations nnd re .1 Bf.llrn nt lnnlfOllt. Tn other Indiistrlcs more local In i.nnnnf.i. If unti urnnnsrd that there I IIUlULLt . , - "" I 1 . tl. should be no limltntion upon i ! to strike. Hut even with this restriction it was not suggested that the right of collective bargaining through labor unions should be officially recognized. Wilson Tnhes Middle Ground The language which the President uses In his message l consistent with liis plan for regulating industrial dis putes, which Is chscntinllv a compro mise between the extreme labor view thot the right to strike should not be limited in nny respect, nnd the op posite view enunciated by henntor Cummins, that it should bo denied in a great mnnv important industries. Some such compromise Is likely to come out of the present Industrial con ference which is sitting behind closed doors here in "Washington. And some such compromise mny stand n chnnce of acceptance by Congress, even in this .presidential campaign year. An indus trial tribunal Is almost sure to be set up, the onlv question being exactly what arc to be its powers. The iceent vote in the House of Rep resentatives indicates that Congress is iu no mood, even in so nearly public an employment ns that of the railway workers, to deny flatlj the right to strike Hut it is not improbable that Con gress would put the railroads, the coal mines and one or two other industries iu a twilight zone where the right to strike would be conditional upon first accepting investigation mid arbitration by n public tribunal. , . Tho sense thnt what wo have in this country is the beginning of n class war is growing strougcr. It is this which drove tho administration in the cpnl btrike to violnte pledges made in its name, when tho Lever uct was pabscd and resort to measures of dubious utility to protect the public interest. nass war came upon us with no ma chinery for asserting tho paramotmtcy of the interests of the whole people which tho Picsidcnt stoutly mnlntains In the words of his messaee already quoted, hat the President Is feeling his way toward is machinery which will guard tho country against repenting the fol lies nnu ineptitude.!- or tho administra tion's cniifco In attempting to meet the coal strike. It Is toward this end thnt the present lndiistri.il conference is directed. And it Is- this end which the President has in mind in his message, which is full of the sense that at last something new nnd threatening lias nrisen In this coun try, the beginning of n definite class strupglc. A blip lint llPHttnttnir In nan tltn nm 1 "class." the mind of the Whlto Hmisn turns with fondness to tho idcnls of other dais. "We are," the President smiles, "a partnership or nothing that is worth while." Hut somehow out of his administra tion hns emerged something else to which he feels impelled to address in one of liis last sentences solemn words of warning: "Let those beware who would take the shorter road of disorder autl revolution." The Picsident hardly hands this in dustrial problem over to Congress, His words upon it are nil essay of a preach ment addressed to the country rather than a recommendation This prob lem will bp the big bequest of Wilson to ills successors, nnd it is one of tho tragedies of politics thnt It should lie so.

UNITED STATES GRAIN CORPORATION H. D. IRWIN, Second Vice President -, v 272 Bourse, Philadelphia, Pa. from n position in life really humble reads almost like n fnlry story. Horn on a farm lu West Overton, Allegheny county. December 10, 1840, seventy yenrs nco, of parents in moderate cir cumstances, he was virtually adopted nt nn early ace by his moternnl grand father, Abraham Ovcrholt. who was a rich landowner. Ills schooling wns meascr. After a few jears in common sehool, Chester Mllltnry Academy nnd Ottcrbcln Uni versity, he became nt the bro of six teen, n clerk, and n little later n book keeper In his grandfather's distillery. Just come of age lie appeared in Pittsburgh one day as t'le ngent of n fiim of (oke dealers and liis activity and liitnlllffpnce unshed him to the fore very rapidly. A year or two later he joined n company tn build the Mount Plcnsnni and Ilrond Ford Hnilrond, a coke line It was opened In 1871 and Inld the basis of the Frick fortune. Saw Millions in Coke That same sear Mr. Frick organized tho corporation of Frick & Co., coke dealers, which bought !?00 acres of soft coal lands and fifty-one coke ovens in the Coiinellsvlllo region and a year later added IfiO ovens to its equipment. In the panic of 1873 coke fell to ninety cents n ton. Ilvcrjbody wanted to sell out. Hut Frick s.nw the possl bllitles of the Industry, He persuaded Judge Thomas Mellon, the Pittsburgh banker, to lend lum $iu,uuu, and with tins ho bought out bis partners. This wns the beginning of his alliance with the Mellons. It is (.aid Mr. Mellon sent J. 12. Corey to Investigate Frick and the latter was found in a cabin consisting of two tiny roomb Coke rose after the panic to $5 a ton. Mr. Frick wns nearly a millionaire be fore he was thirty years old. The business grew until it was or ganised in 1R82 as the II. C. Frick Conl Co. with $2,000,000 capital, holding 3000 acres of coal beds and 1020 ovens. His Alliance With Carneglo Now came the alliance with Andrew Carnegie, the ironmaster. Mr. Frick ex changed a half Interest in the coke com iny for nn interest in the Carnegie steel business. Iloth businesses mndc rapid progress. In 18S!) Mr. Carnegie made Frick chairmnn of Cnrnegle Hids. & Co., Ltd., a reorganisation of Carnegie Uros. He did this in order thnt lr.

The result wns the great Homestead strike, lint before this Mr. Frick had strengthened the Carnegie rouipanv by completing the monopolv of the Pitts buigh Rtcel industry. He also unified the company further under tho new Cnrnegle Steel Co., Liih Then Mr. Carnegie went to tho seclusion of Scot land and the big fight was on. The workers bdzed nnd fortified the Homestead steel plant. They deported tho sheriff nnd his deputies. Mr. Frick imported 300 mined private dctccthes, who were defeated and dlsnnned by the strikers in a pitched battle, with a cas ualty list of ten killed and sixty wound ed. Stnto tioops then quieted the dis trict. On July 23, 1S02. Alexander Berk man, nn anarchist, shot Mr Frick sev eral times in his private olficc and also vtnbbed him.
