BLIC LEDGER-PHILADEIPHIA FRIDAY, OCTOBER TO- 1919

whlch he presented his first PROPOSE
lloh that the industrial conference ap-
point two members from each group to
coISlGer scttlepent of the existing
slrlke OF steel workers was the great
est surprise that the conference has
yet encountered or is likely to en-
Inc eleven basic principles presented
oy la0or have for years been regarded as
,he fundamental policy on which union
iabor has .predicated its success and
fought it's battles.
IT. Is apparent that the paramount
business of the employers and peoples :
groups now will be to convince Mr..
Lompers of the sincerity of their cf
iortS to bring about new, equitable and
honest adjustment of the relations be
tween capital and labor.
The greatest will he to eradicate the
doubt, cynicisn aud distrust that is
inherent in members of the labor group,
to convince them that every suggestion
is not an attempt 10 gain covert ad-
vantage or to deceive and exploit the
working man. If this can be accom-
pl1Shed. the wOSk of this unique and
uncxamped organization will be nine.
tcnths accomplished.
Many Obst acles Ahead
But what effect will II refusal TO call
truce in the steel strike have upon
these labor dclcgatce? 1t not only will
cmbitter them. but it will make them
doubly skeptical of ANY suggestion com
ing from the other side. All through
these propositions there are mines
which. if once fired, may lead TO the
destruction of every good intention.
One of the biggest men in the CON
ference. the author of one of the most
important plans yet presented. is a
glorious optimist. lie is western
product, a professional Iman identified
with neither capital nor labor, a stu.
dent of economic conditions who saved
ing the war by settling every shipyard
strike on the Pacific coasta

sides. There is better feeling. I dis
cover, as these representatives of cap
ital and labor get to know each other.
After ALL they arc only men. Further
along they will find that their interests
are identical. and out of that viii grow
II mutual desire to get closer together
and talk things over. The thing, how
ever, is for the conference TO keep to
work. keep these men together till we
accomplish our purpose.
Must Bridge Big Gulf
There is a great big truth behind this
observation. 1t is evident that the paO-
pies group must serve as the cement to
unite the other groups Of capital and
labor
Within the past twenty four hours II
has been welded and hammered int0
a homogeneous whole as nearly as such al
thing is possible among men of diff
ferent ideas.

DEVEL|N VICTOR
IN COUNCIL FIGHT
Returned a Winner Over Samuel
w. Harrison, Official
Count Shows
BOTH ARE INDEPENDENTS.

The official count Of the vote in the
primary election of the Independent
Republicans that the new councilmanc
body will represent majority in favor
of the Independents.
The ratio is now eleven Independents
nominated as against ten named by the
Organization
The only upset shown by the official
returns was in the Fourth Senatorial
district, comprising the West phla
delphia wards. James A. Develin. of
the Thirty fourth yard. was nominated
over Samuel W. Harrison, of the Twen-
tyfourth ward by "A plurality of 100.
Develin's vote was %, 44J and Harri-
sons, 22.336.
Substitution of Develin for Harrison
on the Republican ballot did not change
the complexion of the cOuncimanic line
up. since each ran on the independent
ticket.
Develin was originally picked by the
committee of one hundred for the nom
ination and was given the committee $
Endorsement. The polio count gave the
nomination to Harrison.
Selection of Develin followed fac
tional disturbance in the fourth district
in which four independents fought hard
for the councilmanic place They were
Robert A. Bcggs. State Representative
T. J. Hefferman, State Representative
Theodore Campbell and Dcvclin.
Develin finally was given the com
mittee's Endorsement. This did not
come, however. until within few
hours of the primary election and the
names of the other candidates had al
ready been put on the ballot.
1t was then too late for the oppos
ing candidates to withdraw. and their
names went to the voters. Beggs polled
1887 votes, Heffernan 2570 and Camp
bell 1923.

1t was almost with an air of de-
fianCe that the labor group submitted,
through Samuel Gompers. what. has
been termed it's declaration of rights.
Nobody in the conference was prepared
for such sensational action. Not IA
whisper of their intention had es-
capped the lips of a single one of the
number, although they have held daily
and nightly conferences on the subject.
They might have been Russian muiiks,
ignorant of the existence of the Eng
lish tongue. so far as any hint, even.
had ever crept out in Washington of
their plan. When Mr.. Gompers stepped
to the raised platform to the left
of the chairman. Secretary Lane, with
two or three typewriter sheets in his
hand. it was presumed that he intended
to make a statement concerning the
prospective action of his group.
