Being small, light and compact, the Decca can be taken from place to place as easily as a hand- bag.
Yet it has the volume, tone and clear reproduction of gramophones that are almost as hard to move as a piano.
The Decca is the leader in portables, distinctive in appearance, and in performance is on the same high level as present. day Cabinet gramophones.
Thus
you get in the Dreen all the advantages of portability and the musical quality of the largest and most expensive instruments

APPEAL
THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1927.
CONSPIRACY TRIAL.
MILLER'S SENTENCE REDUCED.
New York, Mar. 9. .Miller -has been sentenc
An Industrial truce for five led to 18 months" Im- years, during which both sides prisonment and fined £1,000,- | should agree to subuilt any dia- Reuter's Aracrican Servico. pute to arbitration, was suggested recently by Mr. W. L. Hichiens, chairman of Messrs. Cammell, Laird, and Co., Ltd., the ship builders and iron and steel firm, at League of Nation Union con-
ference in London.
J
Sir William Mackenzie, who was president of the Industrial Court from 1919 to 1926, presided and said we had suffered in labour disputes in the past because we had been unfortunate in the choice of persons to act as arbitrators,
Mv. Hichens said the losses from

In connexion with the proceeds of the sale of the American Metal Company, seized as puemy-owned during the war. The jury dia- agreed in the case of the former Attorney General Daugherty, who, was also charged.]
Industrial disputes during the PATHAN RUNS AMUCK past year bad been computed at between $200,000,000 and £300,-. 000,000. He added:
Compulsion Unworkable,
An applied to industry, compul- sory arbitation would, I am con- vinced, prove unworkable. I am opposed also to the expedient that before a strike or a lockout can take place the point ut issue shall be inquired into by some constitut cd public authority or arbitration
court.
It is possible to enact that any industrial dispute shall be made the subject of public inquiry with out gestricting the liberty of the individual during the course of the inquiry to withhold his scr- vice. On the whole that proce- dure has worked well.
The problems of industry should be considered more scientifically than has hitherto been the ense by both sides in joint session. But the necessary research cannot be carried on unless we have in- dustrial peace.
Mr. Arthur, Pugh (general secrç- tary Iron and Steel Trades Con- federation) said:
1 should like to see a body set up in the form of an economic council, representative of eraploy. ers and workers, with representa- tives of economic science and of those versed in the problems of finance, commerce, and industrial management, equipped with a competent and technically quali-. fied staff for the investigation of economics and industrial affairs.
A Trade Locarno,
The subject of peace in industry was also referred to by Sir Harold Bowden, chairman of the Raleigh Cycle Co., Ltd., at a luncheon of the Labour Co-partnership Assa- ciation at the Holborn Restaurant yesterday. He said:
The fundamental, obstacle to in dustrial harmony is the basic con ception that employers and work- men are natural enemies. This is no artificial conception. There are still large masses of workmen who have some justification for believing that they not get square deal except by furce.
Sir Harold reiterated his, suc gestion, made over a year ago, of "an Industrial Locarno," and went
OTT!
Capital and Labour stand fac ing each other across a frontier line. The, first aim of the con- ference would be to abolish that frontier. The work of the confer- ence should be divided into: (1) an historical survey of industrial relations; (2) a summary of all existing schemes of conciliation; 3) a new code of industrial rela- tionships.
He advocated a guaranteed pay- ment of labour, and the constitu- tion of a stall committee composed of representatives of capital, man- agement, and labour to deal in a sympathetic spirit with questions affecting the interests of the staf
