LABOR UNREST IS. NOW DISAPPEARING

Washington, Dec 15.-Industrial unrest in the United States is at a minimum-less than the Department of Labor has known for many months.
 Officials ascribe the improved con dition to the spirit of accommodation brought about between capital and labor by the realization that discord endangers the success of the war.
 Increased living costs and higher wages being paid industries having government contracts have resulted in number of wage demands by rail- road operatives, but the Federal Board of Mediation and Consolidation has been successful in averting walkouts and in bringing the two sides to- gether in nearly all cases.

TEACHES NEED OF COOPERATION
Lloyd-GeOrge Hopes for Many Similar
 Missions in Future.

London, Dec. 15.-When core spondent of the Associated Press called on Premier Lloyd-George with the news of the arrival in America of the House mission, the premier said:
 "l am very glad to learn of the re- turn of the first great American mis- sion to Europe. say first, because | hope it will be the prelude of many more, for the experience we have gained on this occasion has brought home to me, even more strongly than before, the paramount importance of even closer and more constant asso- citation between the United States. the free democracies of Europe and the nations of the British commonwealth. not only in the prosecution of the war, but in future contacts in the worlds affairs.
 "The mission which has thus suc- cessfully terminated it's labors was. as far as we are concerned, an un- qualified success"

 SpRfACkLES ATTACK
Accuses Sugar Refiner of Trying to Destroy Government Food
 Administration.

Washington, Dec. 15. - Charges made by Claude Spreckels. president of the Federal Sugar Refining con- pany, before a senate Investigating committee that the food administra- tion is responsible for the sugar short- age, drew from Food Administrator Hoover tonight a vigorous attack on MT. Spreckels, and open intimation is made by MT. Hoover that Mir. Spreck- els testimony was inspired by the fact that the food administration cut prof its in sugar transactions.
 ''It require no proof from me-" said MT. Hoover, "to establish that Mr. Spreckels a leading sugar refiner, is sore at the food administration and would like to see it destroyed.
 "I realize that MT. Spreckels' bal ance sheet will not look so good next years as last now that refiners profits have been regulated. Furthermore his balance would have looked better this year if the price of last August had not been reduced and held fast in the face of partial shortage that prom ised fair opportunity for 30 cent sugar and much increased profits"

Morale 0i Ally Nations Is Best Since War Began, Says IIOuse-LIOyd George Hopes for Continuance
 of Relations.

New York, Dee. b. What the American mission was scIt to ac- cGmplish in the inter-allied war con ference in Paris has beer success. fully and satisfactorily dOne,' was the message brought to the American people by Col. lI. NJ. House, head of the mission, who returned to the United States today with four of his colleagues. The return of the party was devoid of OstentatiOn. After ad- vising the press of the commissions arrival, Colonel House went to his home, where ne later received news paper men and announced that the commissions reports had already been dispatched by special messen- ger to Washington. These reports, which included that of Colonel House, will be supplemented by tho co.oael's personal report to President Wilson. He said he would go to Washington Monday.
 "In England and France the in- flence of the United Statc. is para. mount said Colonel House. "In both countries the morale isj splendid the best 1 have observed on any or my three trips abroad since the be- ginning of the war"
 You mean tle morale of the fight ing forces?' Colenel House. was asked.
 No. ] mean the morale of tae men in uniform and the people as whole" he replied. "lheir determin- ation to win without thought of the cost is admirable.'
 Through the elimination ot speech making entertainments both of pub lie ard private nature, Colonel House said the inter-allied war conference accomplished it's full purpose at three sittings.
 Colonel House said he did not dis cuss war aims. While in his estima- tion he declared one persons opinion was as good as another's as to what Russia might be expected to do. Gathering of data in preparation for the eventual peace conference was purely. incidental and entirely aside from the main purpose of the mission.

Manager M. D. Ran dolph, of the local branch of the Gas company, saw the article printed in yesterdays Graphic in which it was stated that the final conference would be held yesterday morning, and in con- versation with MT. Munce over the long distance telephone asked that of ficial if he would be in Pine Bluff yes terday. Mr. Munce stated that he had no engagement with the local con- sumers and had been entirely too busy to go to Philadelphia and place the matter before the general office of- ficials.
 MT. Bloom has requested the follow ing officials to meet with the industrial committee of the Chamber of Con- merce Monday afternoon at 2:3O o'clock, at which time some action will be decided on:

FORMER LEAR ESCAPES FROM
 SIBERIA PRISON Nicholas Out of Clutches of Bolsheviki-Result
 Is Dubious. HOLSHEVIKI GAIN
 STRENGTH DAILY Reports Say Counter er-Reyolutionary Forces Defeated and Generals Captured or Fleeing
 Peace Near.
ssociated Press Summary.


 Nicholas Romanoff, former emper- or of Russia, deposed last month by the revolutionists, and for several months in confinement at Tobols1, siberia, is reported to nave made his escape. The report, unlike previous r1mors to this effect, came throug n the Bolshevili headquarters in Pc trograd, but a few hours later it was officially denied by the bolsleviki leaders that Nicholas had escaped Previous reports of the escape of Nicholas had him making his way out of Siberia through Harbin, Mancnu- ria. The route to Harbin is long one however, and he would have 4,G00 miles to travel before reaching the Pacific coast from Tobolsk. al though that place itself is some 1,300 miles east of Moscow. The effect of the escape on bolsheviki plans for the future course of Russia could scarce ly be even surmised, so eniGmatic in many ways has been tn, recent course of that government in Petro- grad. which now is getting the upper hand in many parts of the country outside of the northern center. The Russo-Germal peace negotiations are reported apace. A German official announcement says the conditions and draft of treaty have been for mulated. The discussions have been put over from Friday. till Saturday, however, as the Russian delegates de- sired to obtain additional instructions from their government.
