+ F|NAL ACTION On
LABOR PROPOSAL
EXPECTED TODAY
Central Committee OF Con-
ferees Refuses To Give
Int rvention Resolution
Its Endorsement = Plan
To Put All Members To
Work"

WASHINGTON, oct 13.-Labor's
resolution proposing Intervention in
the steel strike will come before the
national industrial conference, with
out recommendation from the central
committee, as the first order of bust
ness tomorrow, it was learned authori-
tatively tonight.
The committee devoted only a small
portion of an all-day session to consid-
Grafton of the arbitration resolution.
Owing to the opposition of a majority
of the five members of the employers
group in the committee, a favorable
report could not be obtained and the
resolution will follow the only other
possible course-back to the main body
of the conference.
Members of the conference expressed
the opinion tonight that the proposal
will meet the same fate at the hands of
the conference tomorrow. A strong
majority of the employers group is
known to oppose Intervention in the
strike and action cannot be taken only
with the approval of each of the three
groups voting separately. Delegates
entertained but little doubt that more
than half Of the public representatives
will vote for the resolution, but pointed
out that in the employers group only
the agricultural representatives look
with favor on the arbitration plan.
Out of Difference to their fellow
member, Judge Elbert H. Gary, chair
man of the board Of the United States
Steel corporation, representatives of
the public have never discussed the
steel strike in their group meetings,
and it probably will be necessary for
the group to take advantage of the 20
minute recess allowed under the
rules of the caucus prior to casting
the unit vote on the arbitration reso-
luton.
The central committee is reported to
have made substantial progress today
in devising a method of procedure for
putting all the members of the con-
ference to work" A number of SUBJ
committees for consideration of spe-
cific problems, together with policy
for the assignment of resolutions to
those committees, will be recommended
to the conference tomorrow.
Under this arrangement, it appears
probable that conflicting views or
fundamental issues, such as the oper
shop, collective bargaining and the
eight-hour day, will be threshed out
and a basis for agreement reached in
these select committees.
Magnus W. Alexander, managing di-
rector of the national industrial con-
ference board, which has five repre-
sentatives in the employers group O.
! the conference, tonight issued a state
ment opposing intervention by th'
| conference of existing strikes anC
| disputes.

VOTE CANCELLED
TRepublIcan A. p. Leased wirel

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-Thousands of
longshoremen massed tonight in Coop
er union to vote on the question of
calling off the strike which has virtual
ly tied up New York harbor, made it
so evident that they intended to stay
out that their international officers
abandoned their intention of putting
the question to a vote.
It was relatively good natured but
determined crowd of water front
'huskies" that filled the hall, but out
side thousands of their comrades
surged towards the door so determine
edly in their efforts to get in that po-
lice reserves had to be summoned.
The meeting had been called by It.
V. O'Conner, president of the Inter
national Longshoremen's association to
obtain vote on the recommendation
made by delegates of the various locals
that the men abandon their unauthor-
lied strike pending re-opening of their
case by the National Adjustment COM
mission. Mr.. O'Conner, who repeated
tonight his charges that the walkout
had been inspired by the l. w. W.,
made supreme effort to gain control
of the meeting but he was booed and
hissed.
When it was evident that the men
would not listen to proposition OF
returning to work, directors of the
meeting abandoned their intentions OF
calling for votes.

ON PACT
PROGRESSES At
A SNAIL 8 PACE
[Rspublican.A. p. Leased WIrel


WASHINGTON. Oct 13.-Another
three hour attack on the Shantung
provision by Senator Norris, repub-
lican, of Nebraska, and ten-minute
speech of the same character by Sen
ator Borah, republican, of Idaho, con-
stituted the sum of the senates prog
ress today in its consideration of the
peace treaty.
Tomorrow the speechmaking will
continue, and although some of the
leaders think vote on the Shantuns
amendment may be reached Wednes-
day, others are not so optimistic.
Senator Norris. who had occupied
most of two previous sessions with his
Shantung speech, concluded today
after again assailing the accuracy of
the statements made by President Will
son in his weste1n addresses, and de-
claring that after the president had
acknowledged he was wrong he had
gone on misstating the facts about
Shantung. Senator Borah also de-
clared Mr. Wilson had been mistaken
in his statement that John Hay was
secretary of state when the German
rights in Shantung was acquired.
Quoting from the reports of mission
aries in regard to conditions in Korea,
Senator Norris declared it was the
purpose of the Japanese government
to drive Christianity out of Asia and
that the United States would be aid
ing in that attempt if it acquiesced in
the treaty proposal to extend japanese
rule over Shantung.
Il cannot see how Christian people
can read of conditions in Korea" he
said, 'and then ask US to ratify this
treaty and not protest against ma
ton that carries on such work. II
brings us face to face with the fac,
that we cannot afford to turn over
Shantung othe heather country o.
Japan.
Il am not member of any church
or religious organization, but may my
lips be sealed with eternal silence be-
fore I give official approval of an act
to stamp out the religion of Jesus
Christ and put paganism in its stead.
Chairman Lodge of the foreign rela.
tions committee planned to speak dur
ing the day on the Shantung amend
ment, but he decided not to do so be.
cause Of the time required by Senator
Norris to finish his address. Mr.
Lodge probably will speak tomorrow
and the leaders hope also to make som,
progress in the reading of the treat.

LONDON, oct. 13.-A nation wide
campaign in favor of the league of ma
tions opened today under the presi-
dency of Sir Horance B. Marshall,
lord mayor of London. For the occa-
sion the league of nations union called
together many of the leading British
statesmen, including Herbert H. As
quith, Lord Robert Cecil, John r.
Clynes, former food controllers; Earl
Curzon of Kledston, president of the
council, and Bonar Law, lord privy
seal, and Sir Donald MacLean, ma
tional liberal member of parliament.
In addition, all the foreign ambassa-
dors and diplomats and men prominent
in various walks of life-churchmen,
laborites, industrialists, scientists and
lawyers-were present. Premier We
nizelos of Greece, Mr.. Asquith, Sir
John Clynes and Lord Robert Cecil
were among the principal speakers.
Premier Lloyd George sent a mes
sage to the meeting, saying:
Parleyins Is Waste of Time
Civilization can not longer afford
TO squander its time and treasure on
the destruction of its own handiwork.
The allied governments are pledged to
the leagues noble ideals. l appeal to
my fellow countrymen TO support in
ternational order and good will"
King George sent the following letter
TO Lord Robert Cecil:
I'VE have won the war. That is a
great achievement; but it is not
enough. We fought to gain a lasting
peace and it is our supreme duty to
take every measure to secure it.
For that nothing is more essential
than a strong and enduring league or
nations. Every day makes this clearer.
The covenant of Paris is a good foun-
dation. The nature and strength of
the structure to build upon this must
depend on the earnestness and SINGER
ity Of popular support
Millions Of British men and women,
conscious of the ruin and suffering
caused by the brutal havoc of war

preservation Of order, and said HI
hoped the members of the league would
fulfill their pledges under the covenan
purely as a duty.
Mr.. Asquith added that with the peo
pie alone lay the initiative and ulti
mate responsibility. The alternatives
before them were to relapse into tn,
old insane hostilities or the provision

Improvement From Day To
Hardly Noticeable S a Us
A tt e nding Physician
Mind Is Active

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-''President
Wilson's condition is described as about
the same" in a bulletin issued tonight
by Rear Admiral Grayson, his personal
physician. 1t was added by DR.. Gray
son in an informal conference with
newspapermen that a gradual although
slight improvement was being noted
in the presidents condition daily.
The bulletin issued tonight said:
White House, Oct. 13, 0:30 p. M:
"The presidents condition is about
the same.
"GRAYSON."
The daily changes in the presidents
condition, Dr. Grayson said tonight,
while encouraging, were slight and
could not always be clearly indicated
in a formal brief bulletin For
this reason he departed from his usual
custom and supplemented the formal
bulletin with an oral statement of the
patients condition.
Mind Is Active
DR.. Grayson said the presidents mind
was active and that while rest was de-
sired, yet any important matters de-
manding the presidents attention might
be attended to should the occasion de-
mand it.
Many of the current reports as to
the presidents condition were referred
to DIR. Grayson during the conference
but in all cases he stated that he
would stand on his bulletins. 1t was in
timated, however, that the formal an
nouncements might be supplemented
from time to time by oral statements
After seeing the newspaper men, DR.
Grayson issued the regular night bull
letin.
President Wilson continued to hold
his own today and entered the third
week of the rest cure prescribed by
Rear Admiral Cary 7. Grayson, his
personal physician. with his tempera-
ture. pulse, respiration, heart action
and blood pressure at a normal stage

that should an emergency arise requir-
ing immediate attention by the execu-

capable of forming instant judgment
and taking decisive action.
| Would Give Consent
| DR.. Grayson also said that if some
such eventuality arose. he would give
reluctant consent for the presiden
to take the needed action. AS far al
possible, however, the physicians at

No disorders were reported from the
various steel centers in the district
although labor leaders were said to
have distributed several hundred ad
ditional pickets in South Chicago Gary
and Indiana Harbor.
Reports indicate the largest number
of pickets gathered in the vicinity of
the Wisconsin Steel company of the
international Harvester company, and
the Interstate Steel and Iron company
plants at South Chicago, both of which
re-opened today after three weeks of
idleness. Police said approximately
800 men returned to work at the Wis
consin plant where the usual force is
reported to be 1000 and that 200 men
resumed oprations at the Interstate,
which is said to employ 400 regularly.
Approximately so per cent of the
normal working force also was report
ed by police when the Federal Furnace
company re-opened.
John Fitzpatrick, chairman Of the
national committee for organization of
steel workers, declared he did not be-
lieve more than three per cent of the
men in the Gary plant of the United
States Steel corporation had returned
to work.
GARY, Ind, Oct 13-The radical
pamphlts were distributed as "a proc
lamation of the communist party of
America" The heading OF the procla-
nation was '"The Capitalist Challenge
You, Workmen.'
The pamphlet declares that the mu-
nicipal government of Gary, submitting
to the control of the steel trust and
| forbidden the working men to hold
public meetings and parades and that
for two weeks the working men had
permitted the steel trust government
| TO trample under foot the democratic
rights which they had been so often
assured were the heritage of people of
this country"
"The national government, the capi-
talist state" the pamphlet says after
telling of the arrival of the troops, "had
! stepped in. The steel trust was in
danger of being beaten. To save itself
| it brought into the field the instrument
forged by the capitalists to uphold their
