Conference Is Deadlocked
When Hutcheson Declines
to Yield from Position.

William L Hutcheson, president OF
the International Brotherhood of Cur
penters and Joiners. last night con-
serred with Edward n. Hurley. chair
man of the United, States Shipping
Board concerning a oasis OF settle-
ment of the demands of the recent
strike He went into the conference
vowing he would not yield on the
question of the wholly union shlpyard
and he left insisting he could not sign
an agreement with the Shipping
Board that valves that question. An
other conference will be convened to-
day.
Not Government Yard.
He contends that the carpenters are
not working for the government, ex-
cept in few instances. Until the goy-
ernment takes over all the yards. he
insists, the carpenters will refuse to
sign an agreement that "suspends the
power of organized labor while pri-
vate builders make war profits"
Besides Chairman Hurley and MI.

night were Samuel Gompers, presi-

thought that some means OF agree

of the brotherhood men sit with the

help pass on new employees.
He made It plain that this was in
no sense a compromise from the
boards position to grant no conces-
sion to the carpenters. that it had not
granted to the other crafts that nave
signed the wage adjustment agree
ment
That agreement, therefore. remains
the stumbling block to any perma-

carpenters, but the situation has dwin-

TOHARMONIZE
FEDERAL WORK
AMONG BOARDS
Central Bureau to Devise
Plan to Eliminate Conflict
of Activities.

Administration officials yesterday
took up the discussion OF arrange
ments for the coordination of all
the Federal investigating bureaus.
A central bureau Of Identification
and a director general OF investi-
cations are among the features to
be included in the plan. which has
the support of the President.
Complaint by the heads of var
ious departments which are now
conducting Investigations that the
work in many cases is being dupli-
Gated led to the proposal that the
centralized bureau act with the De-
partment of Justice, War and Navy
Intelligence bureaus, postoffice in
spectors, secret service operatives.
treasury and customs agents and
other departments which maintain
detective services.
Under the system arrangements
will be made to establish a card in
dex of all persons who names now
appear on the various lists of sus-
picious aliens. The entire roster Of
alien enemies will form q part of
the archives while the records of
all persons arrested for major Of
fenses against the government will
be similarly fled.
The new bureau 10 to take imme-
diats charge of all Investigations
dealing with enemy propaganda and
spies. Agents of existing bureaus
will be expected to arrange their
records SO that they can be avail
able at all times to the heads of all
of the departments affiliated with
the central bureau.
Included in the plan Is a proposal
to maintain q foreign agency which
will cooperate with the investi-
eating bureaus OF the allies.
Through this system the adminis-
tration heads expect to draw a
tight net about German spies. AQ-
thority to create the new proposed
bureau would be included In the
Overman bill introduced in Congress
at the instigation OF the admins
tration.

Sometimes Cupid has long, hard rows
to travel before he can bring together
the hearts he knows were meant for
each other. But he triumphs in the
end, and then-well, he is amply re-
paid for all his pains.
Not Acquainted, Though Near.
Many years ago-well, not so many
either, let US say, about a decade ago
there lived in far-away Antwerp a lit
tie Belgian boy and a little Belgian
girl. They lived quite close together.
1t was only a matter OF a few squares
or so from the house where the little
boy played at his games to the home
OF the little fiaxen-haired girl.
Now, this little boy was unaware
of the existence of the little girl In
fact, little girls in general held very
little interest for him. And the f1axen-
haired little Belgian girl was equally
Indifferent to the other sex in general
and didn't know that the little Belgian
boy existed.
But do you think that little Cupid
was so ignorant? No, indeed! He had
determined that those two hearts
should be united some day, and he
would not forget.
She Comes Across the Sea.
Pretty soon the Belgian boy grew
into quite a big boy. He was placed
in school, and with his studies he still
had little time to think OF fiaxen-
haired girls. The little girl grew into
almost a young lady-and then, all OF
a sudden, the little girls mother came
from her beloved Belgium across the
sea to America. And so the little girl
sailed away from Belginm-away from
the Belgian boy whom Cupid had
selected for her, though she didn't
know it,
There were years OF study for
the boy. and there were years OF
study over here for the girl. The
youth grew into a young man, and
the girl became a beautiful young
lady. And still they were each un-
aware that the other existed. But
Cupid was still on the job.
Fair-HaIred Boy Dons Khaki
One day, in the twinkling of an
eye, the young man dropped his
books and donned soldier clothes.
The Germans were marching into
Belgian territory, and the young
man enlisted on the very first day
of the war. For 13 months he was
in the thick of the fight. He was
gassed and wounded-but he receiv-

Gamers Of Country
Confer with Hoover

Representatives of the National
Gamers Association and members
of numerous wholesale and retail
concerns were in session today with
the United States Food Administra-
tion in regard to the ruling on the
selling of future canned peas,
corn, tomatoes, salmon and sar-
dimes"
The rule in question-known as
"la"-provides that all bids for
future deliveries not only to the
government but to others, made of
course, in advance of actual known
cost of packing. shall be subject
to revision to a fair price as de-
termined on the cost plus basis.
This ruling presents problems
from the practical standpoint of
both Gamer and distributor. The
session will be continued tomor-
row.

ed the "croix de guerre" twice for
bravery.
After he was gassed-you see,
Cupid Just had to get a hand in at
last-the young man was unable to
go back to the trenches. and so he
was given an honorable discharge
from the Belgian army. He then
took up recruiting work for the
British army. He pursued this
work in England. Australia and
Canada-and finally. guided by the
ever-present little god, he was
drawn down to New York.
And He Crossed Sea.
There he worked in the quarter
master department of the army. and
the uniforms and the military at
mosphere were too much for him,
so he enlisted as one of Uncle Sans
soldiers (having now recovered suf-
flciently from the effects of the gas),
and was sent to Camp MeigS.
Cupid had things going now in fine
shape. For it was right here in Wash
ington that the little Belgian girl OF
long ago had settled down with her
mother.
Learning of the experiences OF the
Belgian boy during the war. The
Herald sent a reported to interview
him at Camp Meigs. and when the
story was printed in The Herald
Cupid sat himeslf down to rest. There
was nothing more for him to do.
The little Belgian girl, now a young
lady, read in The Herald that there
was a Belgian boy out at Camp
Meigs. Her heart was touched, and
so she wrote him a letter and asked
him to call and meet her mother and
some of their friends from old
Belgium.
Called, Then Called Again.
You may be sure that the young
man lost no time in calling. And
well, you may be equally sure that
he called again, and again. and again.
And in just twelve days, which ended
yesterday, they were married.
OF course, 1t sounds very much like
fairy story, but it isn't. 1t is
only the case of Miss Germaine Stahl.

Victor G. N. Gybels. Of the United

IF either Of the great political

vote. they will have to pay for It In
the only coin acceptable to woman
the passage Of the Federal suffrage
amendment" said Mrs Abby Scott
Baker. who returned yesterday from
the meeting Of the Republican NE-
tional committee at st. Louis, where
she worked for the suffrage resolu-
tion recently passed.
Although the Republican National
Committee Is a conservative body
created before the Republican-Pro-
Sressive union, I found the members
very open minded, indeed" said Mrs
Baker. They appreciated the poll
tical aspect OF the proposition and
saw the expediency OF favoring suf-
frage."
Felt Solitary.
Il seemed to be the only woman In
the Planters Hotel In st. Louis"
said Mrs. Baker In speaking Of her
lobbying experiences. Armed with
very influential letters Of introduction.
I began to get In touch with the Re-
publican lineup. That II always the
first part Of . lobbying campaign, to
find out who are the real king pins
and to concentrate on them. 1t Is no
use in wasting time on the super
fiuous.
Then there was OF course an in
dividual psychological problem to De
dealt with in each man. Some re-
sponded readily to one phase of our
argument, some to another. Some
wished to see the union of the Yves,
and South. which elected Wilson in
1913. broken up. Others wished to sce
the Republican party get the prestige
Of gaining the suffrage victory.
Il never talked suffrage to any man
at the st. Louis meeting. I only talk
ed politics. 1t does not matter to
me whether a man Is a suffragist or
not when 1 try to convince him that
he should vote for suffrage. will
not debate his personal views regard
ing the matter. All, that I try to
do is to make him see that opposition
to suffrage is political insanity.
Political Insanity.
'The only obstacle that sufrragists
meet with nowadays Is the man who
knows that 100000 women vote, but
does not feel IL. This man must be
made TO know the force OF the wom-
an vote.
The antis were somewhat aroused
by the passage OF the resolution. Miss
Minnie Bronson declared for the edi-
hcation Of all within hearing that
thirty committeeman had lied to her.
While Miss Lucy Price cast up her
eyes to heaven and said. In whom
can We put our trust II not in our
political leaders?' The dear ladies
never did trust women and now they
have apparently lost confidence in
men,"
Mrs. Baker caused some amusement
when in discussing the House suffraEe
victory before the Republican commit
tee. she paraphrased a part OF the
Presidents recent message to read,
The time had come for the Demo-
Gratis to submit or be conquered.
There was but one choice and they
made it."
