COMMON PEOPLE
DEMANDING PEACE
ENGLISH LABOR CONFERENCE IN.
SlSTS THAT WORDS OF Will
SON BE Needed.
Demand That Working Glass pele-
gates be Included When Peace
Conference Begins-opposed
to After-the-War Policy.

Manchester, England.-The labor
conference in session here unanimous
ly adopted on Friday a resolution urg-
ing that all the British representatives
at the peace conference should work
for the formation of an international
league to enforce the maintenance of
peace on the plan advocated by the
president of the United States and APP
proved by the British foreign secre-
tary. The resolution demanded that
the British plenipotentiaries should
include an adequate number OF par
liamentary representatives of organ
lied labor. The mover of the resolu-
ton remarked that many words had
been spoken about Russia, but it
should not be forgotten that it was
Russia that initiated The Hague con
ference.
The conference also adopted a res
olution declaring that labor was op.
posed to the after-the-war policy of
the Paris conference and demanding
free trade for every country" with
safeguards for the maintenance of In
ternational labor conditions fixed by
international trade union agreements
Another resolution urged the gov
eminent to purchase all imported food
stuns in the country of their produc-
ton and that the government arrange
for their transportation and distribu
ton at prescribed rates. It also urged
similar measures for the control OF
the home production of food.

AMERICAN TROOPS
. ON The WAY NORTH
AFTER TEN MONTHS ON MEXICAN
SOIL, SOLDIERS WILL RETURN
TO THE BORDER.
Believed That National Guardsmen
VIII be Ordered Back Home and
Regulars Take up Border
Guard Duty.

Washington.-With of the
American military expedition in Mex
leo was ordered by the war depart
ment on Saturday, and by the end of
another week the entire command,
probably will have recrossed into the
United States.
The order went to General Funston,
in command at the border, and left to
his discretion the exact time of start
ing the northward movement and the
details of carrying it out. For several
weeks he has known of the adminis-
traton's determination to order the
troops back to the border, and under
his direction the expedition has been
concentrated for the long march.
At the border the regulars will re
lieve considerable portion, II not all,
of the national guardsmen remaining
on duty there. Already about $4,000
of the state troops in the border pa
troll have been ordered home, and
their movement probably will be un-
der way by the time Pershing's men
arrive on American soil.
Although officials have been silent
on the subject of Mexico since failure
of the joint commission negotiations,
developments outwardly have coupled
the troop withdrawal with Carranza e
refusal to accept the Atlantic City
protocol, and have plainly forecast
an intention to let the first chief set
tie for himself hereafter the many
problems endangering the tenure OF
the de facto government.

now pending between the United
States and Germany and over which

of the American government, how

of tangible developments toward
