MRS. Hetty Green. New York. an
nounces the engagement Of her only
daughter. Miss Silvia to Mr.. Matthew
Astor Wilks Of New York, eldest son Of
the late Matthew Wilks of Cruickston
Park, Calf. Ontario
There have been frequent rumors In the
last few years of an engagement between
Miss Green and Mr.. Wilks. particularly
after the elaborate dinner given by Miss
Green's mother at the plaza a year ago.
This was soon after Mrs. Green moved
from her Hoboken fat to apartments In
the Plaza in order, as was stated at the
time, to present her daughter to 5th ave-
nue. society.
The list of guests invited to the func-
ton read like a succession of pages from
all Of the people represented appeared
in person. the affair was carried through
to a successful finish. and the next morn
ing there was a great deal of talk of an
engagement between Mr.. Wilks and Miss
Green.
Alr. WukS ndllS ueIlleu lne engage
ment. Mrs. Green also announced through
her secretary that an erroneous impress
sion had been given at the dinner.
Not long after this Mrs. Green and her
daughter suddenly gave up the Plaza
apartments. They did not return to the
old Hoboken fiat, and 1t was said that
they had moved to a quiet boarding house
in Madison avenue. where Mrs. Green had
lived years before.
Mr.. WilkS has rooms at 40 Madison
avenue. between 10th and JOth streets.
1t was said there last night that he was
out of town. At the Union Club at
which he makes his headquarters, it was
also said that he had not been there for
several days.
His friends declared, however, that he
had been in evidence earlier In the day,
and gave 1t as their opinion that he was
either seeking seclusion to avoid confess
sion of the engagement or did not wish
to discuss it
Mr.. Wilks is fortytwo years Old and
has never done any very active work
He Is great grandson OF the original
John Jacob Astor. and has several mill

LABOR CONFERENCE CLOSES
GOOD FEELING PREVAILS AT
FINAL SESSION.
Secretary Straus Complimented by
Leaders on Success Of Meeting
Called by Him.

4 conciliatory mood characterized the
closing hours Of the conference OF the
labor leaders with Secretary Straus at
the Department Of Commerce and Labor
Yesterday afternoon. and before the con-
ference ended some Of the leaders, in
cluding President Gompers Of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, were compli-
mentary and expressing the hope that
the Secretary might continue in his pres
ent position when President Taft as
sumed the reins Of Office
While the influx of aliens into the
United States and their distribution by
means of information furnished through
the division of information In the De-
partment Of Commerce and Labor formed
the principal topic Of attack throughout
the conference, there was no disposition
to question that the administration OF
the affairs Of the division by Chief Pow
derly had been in accordance with the
requirements of the law, even though
those requirements were not to the llk-
ing of the labor leaders.
There seemed to be a disposition to
favor a modification Of the law SO as to
provide that information furnished here
after as to industrial conditions In the
United States should be confined to
American wage earners. and some action
taken to limit the immigration of aliens.
particularly from southern Europe
John Mitchell. President Hawley of the
Switchmen's Union. Frank Morrison and
others spoke along these lines
The principal address of the afternoon
was made by Mr.. Gompers. He assured
Secretary Straus that while labor had
it's day dreams and his remedies might
not be the ones it would suggest yet
he might rest assured of the cooperation
Of it's leaders in any movement looking 10
the betterment of the condition or the
American wage Garner.
During the course CT the afternoon Mr-
Morrison suggested that immigration
could be restricted by a higher head tax
and an educational test, and wanted to
clnch the sentiment in that direction by a
motion.
him that the conference was purely con-
sultative and the entertainment OF a mo-
ton would not be proper. he Secretary
also warned Mr.. Morrison against advo-
eating capitalistic test upon alien wage
earners. thus putting labor on the wrong
side Mr.. Morrison's retort was that
there vas a capitalishc test put upon
their work now in the shape Of tariff
and he could not see why the protection
afforded the capitalists in the tariff was
wrong when given to protect American
labor.
President Yates of the Marine Engi-
neers assured the department OF the CO.
operation of his organization in its efforts
to protect lives by subjecting locomo-
tive boilers to the same inspection now
given those on steamboats,.
After some discussion as to the best
means of disposing of the money arising
from the fund created for the promotion
of Industrial peace. by the dedication of
end. the conference was adjourned sine
die.
