Plan to Avert Labor
Trouble in Case of War
New York, March 12. —Plans for
averting: labor Btrlkes In case of war
were announced here to-day by the
National Civic Federation and will be
placed before the National Council of
Defense.
Conciliation committees, composed
jointly of employers, labor leaders and
the public will be formed In every
Industrial center. In this connection
a sttaement by the civil organization's
mediation committee to-day says!
"There Is need of early precaution
o nthls subject, not only on account
of the publicly announced Intentions
of certain radical organisations to pro
mote strlkos und riots, In every man
ufacturing locality where they can
possibly get a hearing and also on ac
count of the experience In England,
where It was found after the South
Wales miners' strike. Involving 200,000
workmen, that the only means of set
tling and preventing strikes was
through such voluntary efforts, the
munitions compulsory act having
proved entirely futile."
Anti-Cigaret Bill
In Delaware House
Dover. Del., March 12.—The lower
house has by a vote of 23 to 8, passed
Representative Welch's bill to pro
hibit the manufacture and sale of
cigarette papers In the State. This
is the first of two anti-cigarette bills
introduced at this session.
In former years bills to abolish the
manufacture and sale of cigarettes
were looked on as a joke or as an at
tempt to get a lobby fee out of the
tobacco interests.
Representative Welch made a most
urgent appeal for the bill, declaring
that the cigarette was causing as
much, if not more, damage to the
youth than the liquor traffic, not only
among the boys, out also the girls.

He held one end of the broomstick
up to a window of Mrs. Winkler's'
room, he said, and looked into the'
mirror at the other end. What he j
