 Refers to Reciprocity
 Later in his remarks, and having in mind apparently criticism directed at him from certain quarters in England that he had acquiesced in reciprocity agreement between the United States and Canada that proved so poor a bargain that 1t was rejected by the Canadian people, the ambassador said:
 You may. perhaps. expect me to say something about another agreement which was much discussed a year and a half ago, namely, that for the reciprocal low erng of tariffs between the United States and Canada, With that matter how ever l had nothing whatever to do eN- cept as a mere intermediary.

The matter still remains unset tied, but it is said Germany, Austria and Italy all favor Rumania's participa- tion Some difference of opinion exists as to whether this conference should dis euss the question of a Servian port on the Adrlatic.
 That welghty matters will be decided at the conference is evident from the fact that the Austrian and French ambas- sadors at London now are on visits to their capitals to get instructions from their governments. It is reported tonight that the German ambassador has gone to Berlin on a similar mission

Plenary Conference at Berlin

It is becoming increasingly probable that a plenary conference of the pow CTS will assemble later at Paris to complete the work of the ambassadorial conference, ratify it's, decisions and conclude treaty settling the near eastern problem.
 Formal work of the peace delegates will begin on Monday next when the delegates will open discussion which if successful will have the effect of making over the map of the near east
 When the plenipotentiaries gather in the historic St. James palace they will find themselves amid surroundings most conducive to peace. The picture gallery which has been selected as the conference room is the most secluded apartment in the palace. It overlooks century-old grass-worn quadrangle entirely shut off from the turmoil of the London streets. On the gallery's walls are hung portraits of all the English sovereigns from Henry VIII with that of Edward the Peacemaker in a prom inent position. On the table down the gallery are placed silver mounted port folios for all the envoys and mas sive silk inlSstand which was presented by Charles II to his privy councillors The mantles at each end are orna- mented with quaint bronze candelabra the chief feature of which is formed by mamomth bronze figs holding aloft garlands of peace.
 The envoys representing Bulgaria. Servia, Montenegro and Greece spent the greater part of the day in making official calls and getting acquainted with each other. Each delegation is sumptuously housed in separate .ho- tel Social functions are being ar ranged in their behalf. The Duchess of Sutherland will entertain them at Stratford house on December 19, and the Lord Mayor of London has invited them to luncheon at the Mansion, house the following day.

ID IMPROVE LIFE OF FACTORY WORKERS Legislation to Be Presented to Coming New York
 Legislature

Albany, N Y.. December 13.--Iaws intended to improve circumstances Of workers in various industries of this
 state are sure to be presented to the
 incoming legislature as the result of recent disclosures before the state fac i tory Investigating commission of the employment of women and children at 1 long hours and under improper condi- | tions. This statement was made to- night by Chairman Wagner of the com l mission.
 Chairman Wagner declared some in- spectors had reported that manufac- turers all over the state "were alarmed and that many of them were getting rid of child and women slaves because of the public sentiment against condi- tions as unearthed by the commis- sion."
 These manufacturers are insisting, he continued, that if some of the re- forms suggested are put on the statute books, we will drive manufacturing in- dustries out of the state. If all those manufacturers who cannot get along without their four. five and six year. old helpers and their dirty faced women moulders, are driven from the state, l fail to see where we are go- ing to suffer such a terrible calamity. If we permit conditions as they are to go on unchecked, we might as well turn our attention from the conserva- ton of human life to plans for increas- ing the size of all our penal institu- tions." |. the one government to the other, with out attempting in any way to influence either.
 As you are aware, questions of tar if are left by the government of Great Britain entirely to the government of Canada. l advert to this matter for the sake of telling you what indeed 1 hope you know already, that although Canada ultimately declined to approve the agreement, her refusal was not in any sense a mark of unfriendliness to- ward the United States. It was mere- ly like the case of two merchants, both friends, one of whom makes an offer to sell something at a certain price which the other declines because he does not conceive the bargain to be for his interest.
 Meant No Unfriendliness
 such a refusal does not in private life imply the slightest want of cor diality between the parties. Neither was the refusal of Canada any more sign of unfriendliness to you than did the refusal by you of similar offer made by her some time before imply your unfriendliness on your part. Each country has it's policy, each country is entitled to judge of what serves it's interests best.
 "The value of the celebration you contemplate lies in it's emphasizing in the friendship Of these two neighbor peoples which have no thought of ag gression either on the other. Each is trying its own experiments in govern ment and Legislation.
 ''You promise to invite to your cele- bration members and representatives of other great peoples and races. That is right There is nothing exclusive in the friendship that we of the various branches of the English stock have for
