and "Bill of Rights
Especial United Trcss Wire.


Washington. May 27.--President
Wilson has under consideration
plans for conferences which would
clear up some American domestic
problems. One of these would in
volye call for national industrial
and economic conference at which a
new bill of rights" would be devel-
oped by capital and labor. Anoth
er would involve a get together con-
ference of indefinite duration to be
participated in by all constructive
leaders in the country, such as capi-
tai, labor, suffragists, anti-suIfragists
and socialists, in an effort to reach a
common ground that would end in
dustrial and domestic strife, or at
least minimize the possibility. The
first plan has been sponsored by la
Dor leaders and has been urged by
some industrial chieftains.
The federal industrial board in,
tends to frame plan for considera-
tion at the proposed industrial and
| economic conference. AS tentatively
outlined, the plan would provide vol
| untary agreement by both sides tc
eliminate compulsory arbitration
The conference also would be asked
| to consider the establishment of c
general industrial court, the presid
! ing officer of which is to be appoint
ed by President Wilson, and thu
other members to be named by capi
tai and labor.

Winnipeg, May 27.-The postal
and telephone workers have refused
to return to work, despite threats of
the dominion and municipal officials.
Strike leaders here were advised
that the Calgary workers had struck
and that only public utilities were
remaining on the job.
Alderman Robinson, secretary of
the strike committee. said the fight
would now be toaa. finish. We will
tie up western Canada, " IsHassalyshss
The strike yesterday entered the
eleventh day with $4,000 workers
idle. No one has been arrested and a
holiday calm pervades the city. City
officials claim this peace is due to
their numerous armed guards, assist
ed by volunteers. Labor leaders say
their program is the avoidance of
violence The peaceful insistence of
their demands, they said, is calcu-
lated to swing public sympathy to-
ward them despite the inconveni-
ences they have caused.
Each side accuses the other of US
ing unfair propaganda. The union
forces especially resent stories to the
effect that they contemplate the for
nation of a soviet government.
After day of excitement yester-
day, which several times threatened
to burst into a blaze of violence, the
strike has settled down to an appar-
ent deadlock. Strike leaders an
nounced themselves as determined to
stick it out. The citizens league,
composed of employers, have an
nounced similar policy.

For the benefit Of reader who

ties. here is a resume OF the political
parties now etcive in Germany, as
compiled AID explained b5- the Lon
don Times There are eight Of them.
all of whom recently put up candl-
dates for the national assembly. They
are listed as follows:
The Majority Socialists, headed by
Ebert and Scheidemann.
The Independent Socialists, headed
by Haase, Ledebour and Barth.
The Spartacrs group, followers OF
Liebknecht and Rosa LyXen1burg.
The German Democratic Party
represented by stresenann, mainly
National Liberals.
The German National Peoples
Party. with Won Kardoff, largely Con-
servatives.
The National Democrats, consisting
of bourgeois Republicans.
The Free German Peoples party, a
survival of the old Center Party.
OF all these parties the first named
is now dominant The Spartacides OF
Spartacans, though numerically small
have sought to rule by terrorism, and
nearly succeeded so far as Berlin is
concerned. Now they seem under
control.
These two are, moderately intelli-
gible in their policies and leadership
The rest, even as described by The
Times. seem to constitute dim, chao'
tic shadow-land Of politics, with sub
divisions Of membership and shade:
OF opinion and influence that NEAR
nothing to an outsider.
The Germans have always com
planned that Americans do not under
stand them. Assuredly we co not un
derstand their political system, ac
! customed as we are to only two par
ties of definite antecedents and prin
ciples.
