CAPITAL AND. LABOR AFTER PEACE TRYST.
Seek to Establish Basis of Relations for War Period at Meeting Scheduled for
 Capital To Frame Pact
TRepublican A. P. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-F'ive rep resentatives each of capital and labor will meet here tomorrow at the call of the government to lay a basis of re- lations between capital and labor dur ing the war. Out of their conferences government officials hope will grow the foundation of a national labor policy.
 The representatives were named by the national industrial conference board, representating employees, and the American Federation of Labor, rep resenting employees, at the suggestion of Secretary of Labor Wilson, directed by President Wilson to formulate a la Dor program for the war.
 The representatives of employers are Loyal A. Osborne, New York, vice president of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company; Charles F. Brocker Ansonia, Conn.,, president of the American Brass company, w. F. Vandervoort, East Moline, H., president of the Root and Vandervoort Engineering company; l.. F. Loree, New York, president of the Delaware and Hudson company, and c. Edwin Michael Roanoke. Va. president of the Virginia Bridge and Iron company.
 Labor Representatives.
 Representative of labor are: Frank J. Hayes, Indianapolis, president of the United Mine. Workers; William L. Hutcheson, Indianapolis, president oi the Brotherhood of Carpenters; J Franklin of Kansas City, president of the Brotherhood of Boilermakers; Vic tor Olander, Chicago. representative o1 the Seamen's union, and T. A. Kicker Chicago, president of the Uniaed Gar ment Workers.
 The ten men will name two others to represent the public.
 To Curb All Strikes. The first aim is to reach an agree ment that will do away with strikes and lockouts and make possible a gov | ernment labor program which will op- crate so that it will become necessary neither for the government to taht control of war industries nor com mandeer labor for war production. l an entire agreement is not reached, of | ficials say both these steps are within l the range of possibilities.
 Wage Question Up. | Besides strikes other subjects to b, dealt with include measures for wag determination, price fixing and piec 1 work prices, elimination of restric tions on output and measures to pre- vent the cutting of piece rate pay practices to govern labor; discrimina 1 tion against union or non-union labor admission of union agents to plants method of adjusting disputes an rights of workers to organize.
 Strike Subject Important.
 The subject of strikes is regarded a perhaps the most important. The gov ernment is hopeful that disturbance may be prevented and is searching fo means of abolishing their cause: Strikes called since the war began hay been large factor in slowing up pro duction of war materials. Labor de partment reports show they have bee more numerous since the war bega than at any other time.
 In shipyards alone strikes have pro ducec more than 60O,000 idle day equivalent to over 75,000 tons of ship In other war industries they have bee nearly as numerous

My father came from Germany My mother was born here shortly after the arrival of her parents. We have many other rel atives and friends there.
