atory communications
MY dear Mr.. Secretary:
I'm accordance with the suggestion
Egiven me by the public group Of the
recent industrial conference. ana
calling a new body together to carry
on this vitality important work and
trust you will give me the pleasure
of naming you as, one of Its members
Guided by the experience Of the
last conference, have thought II ad-
visable that in this new body there
should be no recognition of distinct
i've groups, but that all Of the new
/. representatives should have concern
that our industries may be conducted
with such regard for justice and fair
dealing that the workman will feel
himself induced to put forth his best
efforts. that the enplayer win have
an encouraging profit and that the
public will not suffer at the hands al
either side.
1 Looking to FIXTURE
1T is my hope that this conference
may lay the foundation for the devel-
opment of standards and machinery
within our industries by which these
results may be obtained.
1T is not expected that you will
deal directly with any condition which
exists today, but that you may be for
tunate enough to find such ways a.
will avoid the repetition Of these de-
lplorable conditions.
THE conference will meet at !
place to be hereafter designated ir
this city on the first of Decembel

Cordially and sincerely yours,

NATION LOOKS TO CHIEF
FOR NEXT MOVE IN FIGHT
BY Hugh Baltic

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Nov 20.-The nations
attention was riveted on the White
House today for the next move in the
peace treaty battle.
Friends of President Wilson could
not believe he would swallow defeat
on the treaty and the league of natioas,
in the interests of which he has al
ready sacrificed his health.
Statement to Come.
The president, 1t was understood to-
day is working on a statement to the
people telling them that chaos con-
fronts the world as result of the trea-
ty failure, that it is a victory for bol-
shevism and Germany, and putting the
blame on leaders of the opposition in
the senate. His hottest shot may be
reserved for his message to the rog'.la;
session of congress December l. to
which he intends to submit the treaty.
One of his first moves was expected to
be formal withdrawal of the trea, /,
from congress-where it has been laid
on the table--so that it may be pre-
sentei again. Failure of the treaty
knocked the ground from under hopes
that there would be wet" Christmas
Peace, through treaty ratification, is
farther away than ever before, it seem
ed. The only chance of the vets was
that the president would issued a proc
lamation of peace and lift the war time
prohibition ban, regardless of conse-
Quences but this seemed hardly prob.
able.
Foreign Reaction Watched.
The administration today was anxi.
ously awaiting the worlds reaction tc
the treaty defeat. Government off
cials believed it would be a severe
shock to other nations which partici
pated in the peace conference, pointing
, out that America took the lead through
out and now refuses to accept the doc
ument or be party to any of the ar
rangements it sets up.
President Wilson himself is know,
to believe that with the United State
standing aloof, Europe is liable to b.
plunged into another war, worse thai
the ore just ended, in which this coun

close to him say he regarded tn
league of nations as the only safe
guard against this. Therefore he |
expected to continue his fight. If TIL
league should hold together withou
the United States, the president fear
the United States and Germany-bein
the two important countries shut or
from the league-would be thrown 10
gether in an entente and that is tn
object toward which Germany propa
gandists are working.
