SENATOR KING Is LEADER

Washington.-The handful OF out

poses to have a big peace talk soon
within Congress.
Led by members Ct the "wllful
twelve" they will thresh out the ques-
ton of getting an allied American
showdown of war aims and peace
terms. Senator LaFollette gave the
ball a push by introducing a resoiu-
tion calling for such statement, and
proposing that the United States drop
any idea of annexations and punitive
indemnities.
Senator King, representing the
great majority sentiment, introduced
| another resolution, demanding that
the United States go on to finish
fight with the "outlawed German
government"
Administration senators Will not at
tempt to check the proposed Hood OF
talk. Instead. they will let LaFollette'
Stone and others get their ideas out,
confident that the upshot will be pub
lication to the world that America Is
in this war to a knockout, and tha'
peace can be talked successfully only
when kaiserism and Schreck!ichkel'
have been banished from the eartn.

Wandering power will be made felt
wherever labor troubles are holding
up government work.
Secretary of War Baker will WELD
the power, it is stated. At the direc-
ton of the president he will place oil
plants working on government con-
tracts under government supervision
and keep them there until the war
ends. The plan is said to have the
complete indorsepaant of Samuel Com
pers. president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
The first step in the presidents pro-
gramme of settling labor disputes was
taken when he conferred with William
Dynant of the Council of Defense min
ing committee: James Lord, repre-
senting the American Federation or
Labor. and Frank harrington of the
Illinois miners. 1t is understood that
the president delivered an ultimatum
that the production Of raw materials
needed in the manufacture of muni-
/ tions must not be allowed to lag
through friction between employers
and employees. The impression given
the labor representatives was that the
governments communicating power
might be extended to the mines IL i
should be found necessary.
Cancellation committees will be ap
pointed within a few days by the sec
retary of war, it is reported, and thes'
committees will endeavor to efec
peaceable settlements of all labor dis
putes. Failing to do so. they will re
port to the secretary that government
