NATION UNDER
PAIL OF CRISIS
New Industrial Conference to
Face Problems of the
Gravest Import.

Washington. Nov. 29.--H. N. So
Under the pail cast by the gravest
crisis that ever threatened disaster
to the nation as the outcome of a dis
pute between capital and labor. most
of the seventeen members of Presi-
dent Wilson's new industrial CONFER
ences are due to arrive here to-
morrow ready for the opening ses-
sion Monday.
Although 1t is not the presidents q
intention that the new body of i'm
dustrial peacemakers will deal di-
rectly with the coal situation or any
existing quarrel, 1t Is felt here that
1t is high time that something con-
structive should be undertaken to
put a stop to the blind and growing
class antagonism fast dragging the
country into trouble.
Owing to the mad succession of in
cidents during the past two weeks
the rejection of the treaty, the coal
strike, the Mexican imbroglio and
others-the details of which promise
one Of the most far-reaching events
vet staged in the national capital,
have been left until the last minute.
Where the conference will sit; at
what hour; who will preside at the
opening session: who will be perma-
nentS chairman; whether the de-
liberations would be behind closed
doors or In public; what the order of
procedure will be; whether there will
be message from President Wilson
all those things have yet to be de-
termined, according to those in clos
est touch with the situation today.
1t is considered likely, however. that
the seventeen Will hold their meetings
at the Pan-American building and
that Secretary of Labor Wilson will
preside.
