WILSON TO MEETING
[ lawmakers Also Are Asked to
Hear Views of "MilIionaire
Hobo" and Others.

President Wilson, Senator Lane Of
Oregon, Senetor PoindeXter of Wash
ingtor. Congressman Victor Murdock OF
Kansas. and may others who are inter-
ested have been invited to participate il
a conference to consider the problems
of the unemployed of the nation, to be-
gin tonight under the direction of James
Esds How. the millionaire hobo" or
ganizer of the international Brother
hood Welfare Association. and to con-
ttnue until Sunday.
That Washington will not be overrun
with the unemployed Is the declaration
of How today. I'VE expect, however"
he said, ito have present at the con-
ferenhe representatives from all the
surrounding cities and towns of the
East, who will present to us the prob
lens affecting nearby regions and give
advice helpful in framing a bill for
introduction in Congress looking toward
the organization of the unemployed into
an Industrial army.
'.There are three problems confronting
us which need immediate attention" he
continued. The first is an interstate
which the association is particularly
anxious to attain, is free transportation
of farm hands to the harvest fields I'M
der the supervision OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission The third is
an insurance by the Government against
unemployment.
During the three DAYS that we will
be in session We expect to weld to-
gether all the factions which are now
struggling separately with the problems
confronting the unemployed. We will
unite so as to show Congress the neces-
sity of passing legislation that will bet
ter the condition of the unskilled la
borers of the country. I believe the
meeting in Washington OF men whose
sole interest Is the betterment OF their
fellowrnen and the attendance Of leg
islators will go long way in bringing
to an early realization our hopes Of
beneficent legislation
The conference will be held at head
quarters OF the Socialists. at s11 G street
