given. This means that the individual
committeeman will have to see individ-
ually or get their respective groups

discussion in committee centred large
" on the right of outsiders" to repre-

Iloyers.
The general committee will meet

C. S. Barrett, representing the
Farmers National Cooperative Union,
declared agriculture generally would
support the demand of labor that the
right to collective bargaining be recos-
nized by the Industrial Conference.
While the new draft of the resolution
provides for labor representation by rep
resentatives chosen by a majority of the
workmen represented, no election ma
chinery is provided and the unit of or
ganization is not defined. 1t Is expected
the determination of the unit, whether 1t
be shop, factory or industry, may be
worked out In actual practice along nat
ural lines, but II is likely the conference
later will undertake to set UP standard
for election machinery for the selection
of bargaining representatives that may
be generally acceptable and serve as

CONFEREES AGREE

Industrial Committee Drafts
Collective Bargaining
Resolution.
HOLDS ALL DAY DEBATE
Groups May Meet To-day to
Vote on Approval Of New
Measure.
speciai Despatch to THE Sun.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.--The general
committee of the national industrial con-
ference has reached a tentative agree
ton that it is expected the general con-
ference will adopt Monday.
The agreement was reached only after
an all day debate in the committee room.
1t will be referred informally to the
three groups of the conference before the
committee gives its final approval and
prepares a report
The situation reached is expected to
solve the labor proposal on which the
conference has been deadlocked practi-
cally all week. If the committee makes
a unanimous report on the resolution
there is no doubt of its speedy adoption
without much further debate on the
conference floor.
Few vital changes were made in the
resolution to bring it into shape for
agreement. though there were many
changes in wording. There were two
amendments. both of them urged by the
employers group, that the labor repre-
sentatives apparently have accepted. The
first changes the phrasing with regard
to the method of selection OF workers
representatives for collective bargaining.
AS recommitted the resolution provided
that employees should have the right ito
select representatives of their own
choosing to do the bargaining. The
resolution now provides for representa-
tives to do the bargaining chosen by a
majority of their own members
Change Is Made.
The second important change is with
respect to the right of employees to
Organize" for collective bargaining. AS
recommitted the resolution read "the
right Of wage earners to organize in
trade and labor unions for collective
bargaining, &c. is recognized. AS
changed, 1t reads substantially that "the
right OF wage earners to organize in
trade and labor unions or shop or in
dustrial conferences or in other form
for collective bargaining is recognized.
The quotation marks are not textual, az
the proposed resolution tentatively
agreed to will not be made public.
The general committee spent the en-
tire morning in n long struggle over the
resolution as recommitted and just be-
fore recess determined on a new draft.
This new draft was broken up into para
graphs to make 1t more flexible and
easy to amend, but after long discus
sion In the afternoon the new draft was
abaL doned and the committeeman went
hack to the original resolution as first
reported by the committee, but with the
amendments in 1t. This follows:
THE right of wage earners to organ
ize in trade and labor unions. to bar =
gain collectively, to be represented by
representatives of their choosing in ne
gotiations with employers and In respect
to wages. hours of labor and rules and
conditions of employment is recognized
This must not be understood as
limiting the right OF any wage Garner
to refrain from Joining any organiza-
ton or to deal directly with his en-
ployer II he so chooses"

ARE WE IRISHMEN. GER
MANS, OR AMERICANS ?

1t made us weary to read
about the observation-disclosures ca
raising Cain in New York the
other day when they met to
greet the President of the Irish
Republic" and hiss the Presi-
dent of the United States and
other Americans. 1t puts us in
mind of the meetings by Ger
man-AmericanS held Just before
we severed relations with Ger
many. These patriotic Germans,
many of them who We're mere
chattles in the Fatherland. and
who had become prosperous clti-
Zens of America, were willing to
be traitors to their adopted
country to serve their former
oppressor. SO. with a few of the
Irish in America. they are will
ing to go back on America if she
does not take sides in the politi-
cal affairs OF Ireland. although
America has always been and
now is their true friend. The
sooner the Irish and Germans in
America become real Americans
the happier they will be, unless
they prefer a scrap to happiness.

A VOICE FROM THE PAST.

The President succeeded on
this occasion because he acted
without sense and without con-
straint in a panorama that was
gotten up more for the benefit
of his party than for the glory
of the Nation and the honor Of
the dead. We pass over
the silly remarks of the PreSi-
dent; for the credit OF the
Nation we are willing that the
veil OF oblivion shall be dropped
over them and that they shall
no more be repeated or thought
of.
This is not an extract from an
editorial in the New York sun
or the New York Tribune. Nor
were the sentiments quoted
above taken from any Of the
public utterances of Senator
Poindexter or Senator Sherman
or Senator Mccormick. They
are from an editorial that was
printed in the Harrisburg Pa
triot and Union on Nov. q, 1868,
and have no reference to Wood
row Wilson.
The President in question was
Abraham Lincoln. The silly re-
marks" were the Gettysburg
speech.
Doesn't this remind you of the
attitude of some people toward
President Wilson? Those who
are opposing him and the League
of Nations are going to be placed
in the same category by history
as are the opponents of Lincoln
and his policies.

ARE GETTING DISGU STED.

Concerning the present mis-
sion of President Valera in the
United States. it is to be hoped
that some of his more sagacious
riSh-American friends will give
him good advice. If they do,
they will tell him that many
Americans, who have been IN
favor Of Irish Home Rule all
their lives. were made sick AT
heart by the course of Sim Fem
during the war. The utter part
Of political and moral perception
which many Irish leaders show
ed, their willingness that Ger
many should win the war if only
that meant the downfall Of Eng
land. their comforting and con-
spring with German emlSsar1eS
and readiness to accept German
money and German alms-all
this filled with amaZement and
pain Americans who had stead
ily championed Ireland's cause.
Now. Nh. Valera and the
others ought to know that this
cannot be forgotten on forgiven
i'm a day. They have to encoun-
ter in this country a feeling like
that displayed by President VIII
son when he refused to meet a
delegation Of lriSh-Americans if
Judge Cohalan were at its head.
Still with the heartleSt sympa-
thy for Ireland, Americans are
not going to shake the hand Of
hiShmen who We're on the side
of Germany in the war. Nor
are they going to listen with
patience to the prepoSterouS de-
mand that our government
recognize" the Irish Republic.
Even Senator Borah. when
driven into a corner. confessed
that he was not prepared to take
step which would mean war
with England, So that President
Valera. If he is we'll advised, will
refrain from identifying himself
with political movements openly
hostile and insulting to Presi-
dent Wilson. and will see the
necessity of placating, instead of
further infiaming. a large body
