An animated discussion was going on
over a number Of the King street mar

ketmen and customers, in regard TO
the extremely high price OF produce.
ITS outrageous" was a frequent eK-
preston on the part Of customers.

farm, and dairy TO run beside, and he
cannot get any help besides himself.
That's the answer" replied one mar
ketman "And that condition Is gen
eral. Not even boys can be obtained
In sufficient numbers TO help out the
situation. ITS all right TO say raise
a lot OF produce and make IL cheaper,
but vegetables don't raise themselves
by a good DEAL" continued the farmer
That sounded reasonable. but less

from the lips OF a marketwoman. She

tive OF the Delaware tomato family,

explanation was made that Delaware

INTERALLIED LABOR CONFERENCE
ADOPTS WILSON'S PEACE FORMULA
President Articles
tional Meeting in London and They Accepted the
Terms Upon Which War Against
Empire Shall Come o End.
Especial Cable to A. F. of L. News

Especial Gable to A. F. of L. News
Service.)
LONDON. England, Sept. "a
The interallied labor conference has
unanimously adopted a committee rec
ommendation that the conference sub
scribe to the fourteen points formu-
lated by President Wilson as pro-
gram for worlds peace.
Representative of the American
Federation of Labor, headed by Pres
ident Gompers, presented these prin-
ciples, which are as follows:
l. Open covenants Of peace, openly
arrived at, after which there shall be
no private international understand
ings of any kind but diplomacy shall
proceed always frankly and in the
public view.
2. Absolute freedom of navigation
upon the seas, outside territorial
waters, alike in peace and in war, ex-
cept as the seas may be closed in
whole or in part by international ac-
tion for the enforcement of interna-
tional covenants.
3. The removal, so far as possible,
of all economic barriers and the es-
tablishment of an equality of trade
conditions among all the nations con-
senting to the peace and associating
themselves for its maintenance.
4. Adequate guarantees given and
taken that national armaments will be
reduced to the lowest point consistent
with domestic safety.
B. A free, open minded, and abso-
lutely impartial adjustment of all CO.
lonial claims, based upon a strict OBJ
servance of the principle that in de-
termining all such questions of SOW
ereignty the interests of the popula-
tions concerned must have equal
weight with the equitable claims of the
government whose title is to be deter
mined.
6. The evacuation of all Russian
territory and such settlement of all
questions affecting Russia as will Sc
cure the best and freest cooperation
of the other nations of the world in
obtaining for her an unhampered and
unembarrassed opportunity for the in
dependent determination of her own
political development and national pol
icy and assure her of sincere well
come into the society of free nations
under institutions of her own choos-
ing; and, more than a welcome, as
sistance also of every kind that she
may need and may herself desire. The
treatment accorded Russia by her sis
ter nations in the months to come will
be the acid test of their good will,
of their comprehension of her needs
as distinguished from their own inter
ests, and of their intelligent and un-
selfish sympathy.
z. Belgium, the whole world will

agree, must be evacuated and re-
stored, without any attempt to limit
the sovereignty which she enjoys in
common with all other free nations.
No other single act will serve as this
will serve to restore confidence among
the nations in the laws which they
have themselves set and determined
for the government of their relations
with one another. Without this heal
ing act the whole structure and valid
ity of international law is forever i'm
paired.
8. All French territory should be
freed and the invaded portions re-
stored, and the wrong done to France
by Prussia in 1871 in the matter of
tAlsace-Lorraine, which has unsettled
the peace of the world for nearly fifty
years, should be righted, in order that
peace may once more be made secure
in the interest of all.
9. A readjustment of the frontiers
of Italy should be effected along clear
ly recognizable lines of nationality.
10. The peoples of Austria Hun
gary, whose place among the nations
we wish to see safeguarded and as
sured, should be accorded the freest
opportunity of autonomous develop
ment.
II. Rumania, Serbia and Montene-
gro should be evacuated; occupied ter
ritories restored; Serbia accorded free
and secure access to the seal and the
relations of the several Balkan states
to one another determined by friendly
counsel along historically established
lines of allegiance and nationality
and international guarantees of the
political and economic independence
and territorial integrity of the several
Balkan states should be entered into.
u. The Turkish portions Of the
present Ottoman empire should be as
sured a secure sovereignty, but the
other nationalities which are now un-
der Turkish rule should be assured an
undoubted security of life and an alb
solutely unmolested opportunity of
autonomous development. and the Oar
danelles should be permanently opened
as a free passage to the ships and
commerce of all nations under inter-
national guarantees.
13. An independent Polish state
should be erected which should in
clude the territories inhabited by in
disputably Polish populations, which
should be assured free and secure
access to the sea, and whose political
and economic independence and terri
torial integrity should be guaranteed
by international covenant.
IA. A general association Of ma
tions must be formed under specific
covenants for the purpose of afford
ing mutual guarantees of political in
