Charles W. Eliot, former president
OF Harvard University, has offered
q comprehensive prodt-sharing plan
which win be brought before the
conference at an early date. Bernard
~ Baruch, Robert r. Brookings, and
others, are at work upon proposals
which they believe win be satisfac-
tory to organized labor and win 90
Tar towards settling the industrial
situation.
