 ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Dec. 5.-In the work of forming a policy of recon struCtion and readjustment, thousands of business and industrial leaders at tending the gatherings of the recon struction congress, which is being held under the initiative of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, to- day heard two addresses, one by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. and the other pre- pared by James A. Farrell, president of the United States Steel corporation. Mir. Rockefeller won much applause by asserting that capital and labor, far from being enemies, are partners, anu that each should be adequately repre- sented in making for the welfare of both.
 MT. Farrell, in his address (read to the convention in his absence), op- posed an economic war against Ger many, so long as she conformed to the principles of humanity as practiced by countries that have been at war with her.
