DELEGATES CAN'T
 DECIDE ON NAME
PEACE SEEKING EMPLOYERS HAVE TROUBLE IN SELECTING TITLE FOR THE ORGANIZATION
 WHICH IS TO DEAL WITH LABOR

Chicago. October 29.-Unable to decide upon a. name for the organization the conference for the purpose of forming national federation of American em- blowers to cope with the labor problem, which began here today, was compelled temporarily to adjourn amid the uproar and misses of the assembled delegates. A number of the delegates who represent national trade organizations of the coun- try, insisted that the new body should not have the words ''citizens alliance or alli- ance'' in its title, while those representing the citizens alliance composed of employ CTS and employees were firm in desiring recognition.
 Each side gave it's reason for wanting or not wanting a certain title, the alli- ance idea adherents asserting that to call it an employers organization exclusively would be class movement. while if the alliance were recognized in the name the movement would become broader.
 Previous to the discussion over the matter the rules and regulations commit tee had reported in harmony to the con- vention and the credentials committee had announced that three hundred dele- gates representing many national trade organizations and from nearly every state in the union were present.
 The addresses of the delegates were con- servative and showed the disposition of the manufacturers to uphold what they believe to be their rights in the labor problem and to treat labor fairly.
 The majority of the delegates are de- clared to be in favor of the provisions of the constitution and bylaws which are said to be fair to the unonists
 A large fund, it is said to be raised by per capita assessment, will be used to ex- tend the work of organization of the movement throughout the country.
 Representatives of state, national and city organizations as we'll as specific crafts were represented at today's gath ering.
 When the convention reassembled at night harmony had been restored and it was voted unanimously to adopt the name "Citizens' Industrial Association of Amer ica."
 The organization will include employers and alliances.
