London, May 15.—(A*)—John Ball,, having first had a good fight to re lieve bIR surplus, energy, went hack to work today with a grin—albeiFit is a somewhat- rueful one. If he were sore of muscles and per haps changed in spirit, still he tack led his duties with dogged British de termination resolved to do the best he could until his hurts disappeared. He wasn’t talking much about the fight, or doing any boasting either, for like David Crockett, he figured that wheu lusty blows have been giv en or taken, both sides should shake hands and let that be the end of it. John's offspring didn't want to work this morning as they had been forced to do the past 11 days while the head of its family was having his scrap. London’s millions of wheels began turning against today, trams, buss es and train* showing their paces in bringing the people smartly to busi ness as though to compensate for the irksome conditions under which the metropolis had labored so long. The same tMng was largely true in the provinces. To be sure, the trans portation services were not normal, ' nor can they be before next week, but on the whole they were good. There are still individual trades unions in various parts of the coun try which have not yet solved their differences with their employers and it may be some time before anything is righted. TWO etao*6* . Some of the railway unions are not yet able to swallow what they con sider the too strong medicines admin istered to them in the settlement be tween the companies and the nation , ni union of railway men. Bristol is “ one center where the railway men are still unsettled. Some of the dock workers are re maining out pending adjustment of the miners’ dispute. Tram and bus workers have still to go back to work at some points of the provinces. Broadly speaking, however, the au thorities today took an optimistic view of the situation and expressed the opinion that next week would see de cided improvement Even the bitter, quarrel between the miners and coal owners which precip itated the whole crisis gave promise of solution on the basis of Premier Baldwin’s proposal, according to an unofficial expression from some of the miners’ delegates. No official decision can be expected from the miners’ delegation sbefore their meeting Tuesday after they have consulted their individual districts. The mine owners thus far have given no indication of their attitude toward the premier's proposal, but they are due to give an answer Monday. Disappearance of Auto Dealer.

Dimitri Joanovici, | has put forward a project for dam ling the Fury and Hpcla Straits, the Inarrow gap between Baffin Land i ] and the Melville Peninsula through whieh the icy waters of the Arctic j pour into Hudson Bny and since the : Strait is only eight miles wide he thinks that it would be possible, to close it completely. The result, he be lieves, would be to raise the tempera ture of the whole of that vast inland sen called Hudson Bay. It is from this bay. through “Hud son Straits, that there comes the main flow of the Laborndor Current which benrs immense masses of ice into the Atlantic nnd c.-mes frost so far south that New York, though in the same latitude as Genoa in Italy, has a winter almost ns cold ns that of Petrogrnd. This I.aborador Cur rent cuts into the Gulf Stream, checking its flow nnd lowering its temperature, and so, of course, cool ing the climate of Great Britain nnd Western Enrols 1 . On the face of it. the p’an for clos ing the Straits appears feasible, hut most experts agree that it would be impossible from an engineering point of view. The water is deep, the cur rent strong, and the force with which the great ice masses come crashing through it would probably scour out the biggest dam that man could make. There is, however, another plnn for cutting off the cold water from the North. This is the proposal of n well-known American engineer, who suggests the building of a huge jetty over the Grnnd Banks, a jetty about two hundred miles long, which would run eastwards across the shoals from a point near Cape Race in Newfoundland. This, he believes, would result in stopping the I .abora dor Current, the cold of which is equal to mnklng two million tors of ice‘every second, from running right into the Gulf Stream, whose heat is equal to the burning of two milliion tons of coal every minute. At present the two currents meet on the Banks where the water is only, about two hundred and fifty feet deep, and one result is the im mense clouds of fag which for months every year cover a million square miles in the neighborhood of the meeting place. If the proposed jetty were built, the Labrador Current would be turn ed eastward off the Banks and would be lost, while the warm bine waters of the Gulf Stream would continue northward in almost un diminished volume. Its heat would soon melt away a large portion of the polar ice cap, changing completely the climate of the whole of North America and al so that of Northern Europe. The whole of Canada wquld then enjoy a climate at least as mild as that of France, while the eastern part of the United States would become ns warm as Southern California. There might be other and even more tremendous consequences. The melting of the arctic ice cap might shift the equalising balance of the globe so that the preponderating weight of the antarctic ice cap would make what is now the North Pole move towards North Europe, with the result of producing a nightless summer in the area of Scotland without a dayless winter. The cost of the great jetty is esti mated at about $2,000,000,000. This is a large sum of money, yet more was spent in one week during the war. And unlike the plan for dam ming the Fury and Hecla Straits, the building of the jetty would offer no great engineering difficulties. Sterling Reaches Parity. London.

Local traders seemed to be selling on belief that weather conditions over the week-end would be less unfavor able than apprehended by buyers yes terday, and scattering liquidation de veloped on the decline. Business was comparatively quiet. Private cables said trade calling in Liverpool had been offset by local and Man chester selling.

Va., Mav 15.—t/P) —President Coolidge today called upon the states to discharge their functions so faithfully that there can be a contraction, instead of an extension, of the authority of tho federal government. Speaking at the scsquicenteunial observance of the adoption of rho Virginia resolution declaring for tho independence of the American colonics, he said that by providing for the regulation of internal con cerns of cadi colony by the colonial legislatures, tilt resolutions made "a plain declaration of the un assailable fact that the , fates are tho sheet anchors of. our institu tions. While asserting that Puerty can not be divorced from local self gov ernment and ."no plan of centraliza tion has ever been adopted which ' did not result in bureaucracy, tyran ny. inflexibility, reaction, and de cline,” the President coupled with his appeal to the' states a plea for national unity and the elimination of actions based upon geographical lines under a system of government based upon majority rule. Discussing In this connection nil ’ “element of recent development," he sa id: "Direct primaries and direct elec tions bring to bear upon the poli tical fortunes of public officials the greatly disproportionate influence of organized minorities. Artificial pro paganda, paid agitators, selfish in terests. all impinge upon members of legislative bodies to force them to represent special elements rather than the great body of their consti tuency. When they nre successful ; minority rule is established, and the , result is an extravagance on the part of the government which is ruinous to the people and a multi plicity of regulations and restric tions for the conduct of nil kinds of necessary business, whieh becomes little less than oppressive. Not only is this one country, but we must keep all its different pnrts in harmony by refusing to adopt legislation which is not forth general welfare.” The President declared it was im- , possible to lay too much emphasis ’ on the nee ssity of making all poli ' tieal action of the federal govern ' ment harmonize with the principle , f r national unity. “For many years,” he said, “this course has been greatly impeded from the Wet that those who substantially * think niike have so oftentimes been i unable to act alike. Our country ought to be done with all sectional divisions and all actions based upon . geographical lines. Washington warned us against that danger in his ? farewell address. ’ “It would be difficult to suggest anything more likely to enhance the progress of our country than united political action in ull parts of the na tion in accord with the advice of Washington for the support and main tenance of those principles of sound economics and stable constitutional government in which they so substan tially agree, xxx To attempt to proceed upon any other theory can only end in disaster,' No policy can ever be a success which does not con template this as one country. "The principle thAt those who think alike ought to be gble to act alike wherever they happen to live should be supplemented by another rule for the continuation of the contentment and tranquility of our republic. The general acceptance of our institu tions proceeds on the theory that they have been adopted by the action of a majority. It is obvious that if those who hold to the same Ideals of government fail to agree the chances very strongly favor a rule by a minority. "If the federal government rihould go out of existence, the common run of people would not detect the dif ference in 'the affairs of their daily life for a considerable length Os time.

W. McLean returned to his offices late yesterday afternoon after an absence of nearly a week, most of the time having been spent in Washington where the governor was mucli inter ested in the progress of the Dill ra dio regulation bill in the Senate. For some time Governor McLean has been inteested in the election of n State owned radiocasting station in Ra leigh. but because no long wave lengths were available upon which to operate, has delayed the erection of such a station. Under the provisions of the Dill bill, all radio stations would be placed under the control of a special board, all present wave length allocations cancelled and re-allotted to cities, states or loealatiex on a basis of imp utation. This would entitle North Carolina to at least one -long wave length, the governor believes. Pros pects for its passage are somewhat dubious, however,, he feels. While in Washington, Governor : McLean heard many echoes of the ' widespread knowledge gained con ' cerning North Carolina as the result of the recent articles telling about the state that appeared in the Na tional Geographic Magazine and in Review of Reviews. People from 1 California and the Northwest spoke about these articles and commented on the favorable publicity that had accrued to the state as a result. Justice Tempered With Mercy.

It is the one element in our institutions that sets up the pretense of having authority over everybody and being responsible to nobody. “The states should not be induced by coercion or by favor to surrender the management of their own affairs. The federal government ought to re sist the tendency to be loaded up with duties which the states tfaould per form. It does not follow that be cause something ought to be done the national government ought to do it. But oil the other hand, when the great body of public opinion of the nation requires action the states ought to understand that unless they are responsive to such sentiment the national authority will be compelled to intervent. ■ “The doctrine of State rights Is not a privilege to coutinue in wrong doing but a privilege to be free from interfStehce in well-doing.’’ ' ’ 1 THE TRIBUNE PRINTS -TODAY’S NEWS TODAY tffl NO. 113 ' tVBLUTION AT TtfEJ BAPTISTS lETl!
