LABOR CONGRESS- HEARS PLANS TO
 PROMOTE PEACE
One for Union of Americas. Other for Action by Labor
 Induce Arbitration

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 1.-Two methods that might be employed by the United States in a rolicy for inter- national peace are set forth in res olutions presented at the convention here today of the American Fedora. ton of Labor, and which the commit tee on international relations consid cred today.
 resolution introduced by L. Rich of Texas urges the establishment af commercial union between the United States and South and Central American republics. To this end, the resolution favors the issuance of united States bonds 10 finance steam snip lines to engage ill commerce of The countries composing such union, and the extension of credits or loans to such countries, in order that they may be enabled to participate in the management thereof.
 The resolution that interests the people of all the republics of this continent includes the assurance of peace among themselves. "as of more vital importance and therefore en- titled to greater consideration than the selfish desires of few individu- als whose chief aim is to exploit them and their independence, even to the point of precipitating wars for the entension of this privilege" it was said in support of the resolution.
 The establishment ari maintenance by the Federation of Labor in con junction with other labor bodies of other countries of an international! congress of labor for nearing end dis cussing causes of disagreement be. tween two or more nations is pro vided for in resolution introduced by H. M. McLarin of the Federal Elm ployes' union. It is proposed that the deliberations of this congress shall lead to the execution of such political action by the workers as will bring to the attention of ths governmental of such nations "the expediency of settlement by diplo- matic means"

WILSON WILL NOT LEAVE PRESIDENCY
 EVEN FOR A DAY
Lansing, Who Would Serve, Advises Chief Take Oath
 of Office on Sunday.

Washington, Nov. 15.-There will be no lapse in the service of Presi. dent Wilson because of the fact that March 4, the next inauguration day falls on Sunday, according to an opin. ion reached at the state department today.
 It was reported today that a lapse would occur and that Secretary of State Lansing would be acting presi- dent on March 4. A for, m letter, ex- blaming the law, has been prepared at the state department, to be sent out in answer to numerous requests for in- formation in the matter.
 While it is not expected that for mai inauguration of President Wilson will be held until Monday, March 5. he will be advised by Secretary of State Lansing to take the oath of of flee on Sunday.
 If Charles E. Hughes comedies the reelection of President Wilson by next Friday, Vance c. Mccormick, chairman of the Democratic national committee, will discuss plans for the presidents inauguration with local Democratic leaders when he comes to Washington on that day. Usually the chairman of the inauguration commit tee. which has charge of the parade and other civic celebrations. is selected soon after the election. It is taken for granted that President Wilson, fol- lowing the plan of 1913, will have no inaugural ball.

Capt. Will Nichol Sells 19 Bales for Highest Price
 Since the '7Os.
ANOTHER LOT SELLS
 FOR 22C PER POUND
High Prices Being Paid in Pine Bluff for Cotton Result in Heavy Receipts by Wagon from tll Year.
 by Sections.

Al new record for high price for cot ton on the Pine Bluff market was established late Tuesday. when Capt William Nichol disposed of l9 bales of long staple, high grade cotton to Wilkins & Triplett and (. II. Moore & company. for Wild & Orme, of lAv- erpool, England, for s cents per pound.
 Tho cotton was of 12 inch staple grading very high, and brought an average of $l75 per bale, the aggre- gate price paid for the 19 bales being about $3 32j. The cotton was grown on the Nichol brothers place short distance east of Pine Bluff, and it is stated an offer of $60 per ton for the seed has been made. which makes the aggregate valpn nf the lint and seed reach about $3,900.
 Market Making Records.
 The payment of B cents per pound for cotton of whatsoever grade make ' 2. now record here, and Is only anoth- CT demonstration of the fact that the Pine Bluff market, already the holder of a number of records in handling cotton, is establishing rev marks this season.
 Tuesday was a particularly good day for records, three being broken, one being the Nichol deal. another be. ing the special train of flat cars on the Iron Mountain which brought in about 1000 bales from Dumas and intermediate points, and the third be- ing the purchase by Charles F. Will ley, representing the Newburger Cot ton company of Memphis, of 1850 bales from the Hammett Grocer cOm- pany and the Southern Grocery com pany, for an aggregate price of about $1SO, ,OOO, this being the largest indi- yidual transaction of the season, and breaking last seasons individual re- cord, for money paid, which was also held by Mr. Wiley.
 Heavy Receipts by Wagon.
 Every road leading into Pine Bluff was filled yesterday with wagons, hauling cotton into the city. and as a result, all the wagon yards were crowded, packed and jammed last night, and scores of wagons were to remain in the streets turnout the night. for lack of space to accommodate them.
 The good news had travelled far and wide, that cotton was bringing 20 cents and more, and apparently every farmer who had bale of the staple, loaded it onto his wagon and made the trip to Pine Bluff, the pre- mier cotton market of the state. There was no means last evening of est- mating the aggregate receipts during yesterday. but this morning, when the reports are received at the Cotton exchange, it is expected they will az gregate a large amount.
 And those farmers who sold their cotton yesterday, obtained good prices. One lot of q bales brought P cents per pound. Prices ranging from 1912 ceents to 23 cents were' common, for small lots of cotton. Long staple cotton, as always, brought a approximately larger fig ure.
 There have been some reports that individual farmers have been holding one or more bales for higher prices, after selling enough to settle their bills and make purchases of needed

 Ihe altered attitude of the Mcxi cans developed at the second session today, although it was not attended by Luis Cabrera, chairman of tn, Mexican commission, who did not re turn from Philadelphin until tonight He was accompanied by Ambassado, Designate Arredondo and Mrs. Are dondo. No significance seemed to be attached to the coming Of the am bassador designate.
 Although MT. Cabrera has not beer here to oppose the plan sanctioned Monday by his colleagues, 1t is known that the other members of the Mexi. can commission we're in telegraphic communication with him today. 1t is not believed, however, that the unex- pected developments were due to his counsel. Mr. Cabrera, it is now known, has been unalterably opposed to the plan as it has heen discussed. There are reasons to believe he sug- gested counter plan. but that his associates chose to continue the dis cussion of the plan which had been virtually agreed upon Monday after noon.
 Alr. Bonllas denied that MT. Cabrera had interfered with any plan, and sought to convey the impression that the utmost harmony prevailed among the Mexican delegates.
 Such progress was made today that the Americans as well as the Mexi- cans appear to believe q settlement of the matter is now in prospect
