C., Dec. 12.- Labor's reconstruction conference" ;" called by the executive council of the American Federation of Labor to consider the fundamental principles affecting American workers, will be convened in Washington tomorrow with probably few farmer represen- Jtatiyes in attendance, although more than a score of farm organizations were invited to send delegates.
 The opening session will be held at the headquarters of the American Federation of Labor at 10 o'clock The sessions, it was indicated to- night, would be executive, and action of the conference will probably be withheld until after adjournment. Precautions have been taken by the conservative element, it also was in- dicated, to prevent attempts by the radical groups to gain control
 Views of the four great railroad ed in the official call for the con- ference, present an innovation in labor meetings. Some of the labor legisla- tion pending in congress will be op- posed by the railroad workers as well as other union heads, but whether they will stand together in framing general legislative program was giving concern to those who have a "cut and dried" policy to offer.

 Sending out of the instructions constituted the first step taken bS the government in the light of ex- pectation that miners would accept the governments strike settlement and return to work.
 Director General Hines in announc- ing his action said conditions in the regions varied greatly. and coal still was being shipped from the east to the west, but that removal of restTic- tions might be shortly justified.
 The railroad administration receis- ed unofficial estimates during the day that from 65 to 70 per cent of the miners had gone back to work. Private reports to operators said that in Indiana nearly all the men had re- turned but elsewhere a good deal of delay was being shown.
 Operators representing the central Pennsylvania district. one of the larg- est in the United States. were the first to act today upon the settlement proposal and while accepting it. criticized its terms with the utmost vigor.
 "The method proposed by Dr. Gar field for settlement of the strike was interfered with by government oi- ficials who knew little of the situa- tion," the operators statement said "The problem was taken out or his hands.

 QUITS IN DESPAIR Charges of Pro-Germanism Signal for Wild Uproar
 By Leaders

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 12.- The claim of the Irish republic for recognition as an independent nation was brought to congress again today and was debated in militant fashion through a tempestuous all day ses- sion of the house committee on for eign affairs.
 A crowd which damned the commit tee room and blocked adjoining cor riders punctuated the proceedings with cheers and with hoots of dis approval as the opposing speakers presented their arguments, and many times threw the session into dis order by yelling gratuitous advice to the committee and witnesses.
 The occasion was committee con sideration of a bill 5y Representative Mason, Republican, Illinois, which would appropriate funds for dispatch of diplomatic and consular repre- sentatives to the government set up by the insurgent Irish republicans.
 Late in the session charges of pro- GermaniSm on the part of the Irish republican leaders and some of their supporters in this country threw the meeting into furore which the con- mittee quilted with difficulty after the chairman had warned against insults to any of the witnesses. Interrup- tions so prolonged the hearing that the committees plan of concluding today was abandoned, and the argu- ments will be resumed tomorrow.
 Justice Daniel F. Cohalan of the New York state supreme court and Frank P. Walsh who headed the Irish American delegation sent to Paris during peace negotiations, appeared to ask for passage of the bill.
