Women Carry Banners Before
Presidents Stand at the
White House

WASHINGTON, Sept. A diversion
was created few moments before the
parade in honor of the drafted men
reached the White House to-day by
the appearance in front of the Presl-
dents reviewing stand, and the prompt
arrest of thirteen members of the Ma
tional Woman's Party, several of whom
carried banners inscribed with the
words:
"Mr. President, II is unjust to deny
women voice in their government
when the government conscripts their
sons"
There was no disorder and no attack
on the women, their banner addressed
to the President, or the unlettered pur-
pic, white and gold banners borne by
the other women.

Switzerland Officially
Not To Be Represented

GENEVA, Sept. At is learned
from a reliable source that Switzer-
land will not be officially represented
at the proposed conference of neutral
nations at Stockholm. The Swiss su-
thorities believe, it is said, that since
the entrance Of America into the war
the voice of smaller nations Will pro-
duce little effect on the belligerents,
and, furthermore, the Swiss consider
the question of revictualling & private
one, to be arranged separately. They
are also Of the opinion that when peace
terms are discussed the Swiss interests
will not be neglected The Swiss Min
ister at Berlin may attend the Stock
holm conference in an unofficial ca
pacity.
Swiss newspapers complain that
since the recent arrival Of Prince Won
Buelow at Berne pro-Germsn propa-
gands in Switzerland has greatly IN
tensifed, the country being virtually
inundated with pamphlets in several
languages. The daily paper LA
Feuille," founded at Geneva, with a
free circulation of $4,000 copies, is be
ing distributed throughout Switzer-
land, and large number of self-styled
German journalists have arrived at the
chief Swiss towns and German money
is much in evidence.

Government Assailed for
Concealing u. S. En-
voy's Action
Foreign Minister Talks
Saws Criticism of Americas
Entry Into War Was
Corrected

COPENHAGEN, Sept. A Cabinet
meeting to-day dealt with revival OF
the political controversy regarding the
participation Of II. Stauning, Socialist
member Of the Cabinet, in the meetings
at Stockholm last spring, in which prep
arations were made for the lnterna-
tional Socialist Conference. A NUMBER
Of the Opposition papers have seized
upon the fact that an interview given
by NJ. Strauning to the "Tageblatt' OF
Berlin, in which he was quoted as con-
demning Americas participation IN the
war as a capitalistic venture, was made
the occasion Of complaint TO the For
eign Office BY DR.. Maurice Egan, the
American Minister. News Of DR.. Egan 5
action is only now reaching the Dan'sh
public through the arrival of American
newspapers containing dispatch ca
bled from Copenhagen on June 81 IN
regard to DR.. Egsn's action.
In addition to renewing the attack on
NJ. Staunng, the Opposition papers are
criticising the government for falling
TO inform representatives n the Caoi-
net of the non-government parties IN
regard to DR.. Egan's action.
Erik de Scavenius, the Foreign MIN
lister, said in response to this criticism
that Or. Egar had made personal
comnlaint about certain expressions IN
published interview, dorrectlon OF
which was made later by NJ. Staining.
lie evnlained that inasmuch as the
American government took no further
action after DR.. Egan's attention had
been called 10 this correction, he had
not thought il necessary to report the
incident 10 the Cabinet or still less to
communicate il TO the n-government
parties through their Cabinet repre-
scntatives.
The Foreign Minister explained that
he had followed the same course IN re
pard TO representations from other Dip
+ Iomatic agents Of gn states regard
ing Danish political conditions. He
added that the Foreign Minister'S judg

net must be decisive in this respect

Lord Athelstan was first to be muir

and the Offices Of his newspaper, The
Montreal Star" were then to be blown
up. The death of Solicitor General
Meighan was next on the programme,
and the Premier was to be assasslnated

Union Congress Decides
Conference Now Would
Be Futile
NeedAlliedAg Agreement
But Labor Will Insist on
Share in Final Peace
Meeting
By Arthur S. Draper

LONDON, Sept. 4.--The Trades
Union Congress. in session at Black
pool, voted to-day against sending DEL
egates to the international Socialist
Conference at Stockholm. The report
of the parliamentary committee, de-
claring that participation in an inter
national conference would be futile
until the workers Of the Allied nations
had reached agreement as to war aims,
was adopted by a vote of 2,894,000 to
Of, 900.
The real reason for the overwhelm-
ing vote against the conference was
gwen in the speech Of Robert Smil!ie,
president of the Miners Union, who
formerly supported the Stockholm idea.
In moving the adoption of the commit
tee report he made clear that he had
changed his mind about the conference
only because he considered it essential
that all labor factions in the Allied
countries should agree on common
platform before meeting enemy repre-
sentatives. Smillie said he believed
there would soon be closer relationship
between the different factions and that
then the delegates could meet with the
hope of bringing about peoples
peace.
VIII Thorne, who opposed sending
men 10 Stockholm at the Labor Party
/ conference, seconded tho motion with
a speech supporting the action of Ar
, thur Henderson, and urging other labor
/ members Of the government to resign.
| Haveock Wilson, of the Seamen's
/ Union, who engineered the crusade
| against Ramsay Macdonald and G. II.
/ Roberts, which resulted in the seamen
/ refusing to permit them 70 go 70 Stock
7 holm, introduced a resolution referring
. the report back TO the committee, but
the vote on the amendment, 1853, 900
+ for and 2,5S9,000 against, showed what
a relatively small number support his
/ methods. The votes show what a small
| part of labor wants peace at any price.
/ The attacks on the government made
= by speakers at yesterdays session were
resumed to-day. Smilie entered Wig
/ orous protest against the governments
refusal 20 grant passports and said
: that before peace was declared there
would have 10 be an international con-
! ference of diplomats who have no OBJ
lection to meeting the Germans as
gentlemen. If the settlement was left
entirely 10 the government, he as
serted, labor would be worse off than
/ ever; that labor alone could secure a
/ lasting and satisfactory peace. Trade
union leaders, he said, knew that an
/ enormous change Of opinion was TAX
. ing place and that there was a great
| desire on the part of the people that
something should be done TO secure
7 an early peace.
/ It is clearly evident that labor is
organizing as never before and that
II is becoming united in campaign
whch will do much to shape the future
course Of events in Britain. The Labor
party, as q cohesive body, Will evert
a great influence this winter.
