their headquarters in Indianapolis,
and in addition he had the help of the
Machinists, the Brewery Workers, the
Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, the
Plumbers-except for the vote con-

these were added at least two-thirds

counted upon Lennon to secure a set

ment trades in New York, Rochester,

cialist delegates as rule voted for
Lennon, in sympathy with their New
York friends.

each made a speech denying the cam

largely in order to prepare for big

are to be sought, according to the plan
reported by dozen delegates during

British Commissioner Speaks Of Our
Industrial Problems.

"Without the whole-hearted cooper
alton of labor, we cannot look for a
successful issue in this great war
said Sir Stephenson Kent, chairman of
the mission Of the British ministry of
munitions, in talk to newspaper men.
"Upon the correct solution of your
problems, more perhaps than any of
us can imagine, hangs the issue of this
war. In my view, either victory or de-
feat may depend upon it," he said,
Il can assure you that your country,
will, in my best judgment, be able to
handle successfully any industrial
problem that the war will produce. In
all the industrial centers we have Wis
tied and among all the leaders of or
ganized labor whom we have met, we
have found nothing but the most loyal
willingness to serve your country in
every way that lies within their
power"
The British mission came to this
country several weeks ago to inform
industrial captains here how England
solved the problems that now confront
the United States.

To Minimize Strikes.
Resolutions adopted last night set
forth the principle that in all labor
disputes the men in the establishments
affected should have their case pre-
sented thru their own representatives
to the employers or their representa-
tives. The necessity for direct con-
ference is insisted upon, and it is
| urged that every means for settle
ment without strike be employed; also
that when an apparent injustice has
been done in an award by arbitrators
still the workers should not strike un-
til all possible resources for the ad-
iustment Of this injustice shall have
been exhausted. But the right tc
strike is carefully set forth as the

In the Domestic Relations court
Mrs. Antoinette Panlow explained
some of the reasons why she breads
the wilder type of life. She made it
clear that she had been associated
with her husband in matrimony for
ten years and that all interest in life
on the plains, tales of valor and re-
venge, detective stories, and adven-
turous situations had died in the mean
time.
"He's always going to kill some
one," said Mrs. Panlow, "and he won't
work. Every time the rent is due for
years I've had to scurry around to get
it for fear he'd kill the rent man il a
word was said to him. Every time the
dumbwaiter bell has rung loud he's
said he'd knock the head off whoever
rang it, and every time we've been out
walking he has been on the verge of
getting into a terrible fight and of
killing some ono. He has terrible
