BIG CONFERENCE Is HELD
Representatives of the Public. Capital
and Labor Meet For Solution Of
Big Problems.

hington.-Capital, labor and the
public are sitting in conference
called by President Wilson to consider
Industrial problems arising out of re-
construction
a basis of cooperation between the
three great elements in the life of the
nation, which viii go far toward elimi-
rating strikes and other social unrest,
is hoped for as a result of the deliber-
ations.
This conference was called on Sept.
by President Wilson after his own
survey of the situation convinced him
that the issues raised by labor and
capital alike, by the excessive cost OF
living and the wastage of war were
too complex to be faced successfully
by individual minds or by individual
organizations. He felt that the COM
bined judgment, as he put it, of rep
resentatives of all elements was neces-
sary to fix industrial relationships.

STEEL STRIKE AT
SERIOUS STAGE
MARTIAL LAW DECLARDED IN IN
DIANA CITIES BY MAJOR
GENERAL WOOD.
FORMER SOLDIERS ACTIVE
Staging of Unauthorized Parade Is
Given As Reason For Calling On
MISUNDERSTANDING Must Not
Wear Soldiers Uniforms.

| Chicago.-Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood,
commander of the central department
Oe the United States army, took charge
of the Indiana steels cities of Gary,
Indiana Harbor and East Chicago, with
1000 overseas veterans of the Fourth
division, armed with cannon, machine
guns and rifles, and declared martial
law in Gary, while Adjutant General
Smith. with l, 900 state troops, declared
martial law in the other two steel CEN
ters. No soldier uniforms may be
worn in Gary by civilians under the
generals order.
No disorders preceded the action of
the military, but the troop movements
were brought about by parade with
out permit of 1000 strikers from the
steel mills in Gary, led by a large num-
Der of former soldiers in uniform and
a mass meeting in Gary park; where
speakers demanded the release of
strikers after a riot and the with
drawal of troops sent by Gov Goodrich
Of Indiana, at the request of city of
ficers.
This was the first action by federal
troops since the steel strike started
on September %. 1t came unexpected
iy, as there had been comparatively
little disorder in any of the cities, but
the movement was rapid. No sooner
had Mayor Hodges of Gary asked Gov.
Goodrich for troops after the mass
meeting had been held in violation of
his orders, and in defiance of the 800
state troops on duty in Gary, than the
governor repeated the request to Gen.
Wood at Chicago. In five hours the
regulars at Fort Sheridan had been
loaded in trucks and transported so
miles to Gary. They had barely I'M
Hmbered themselves from the long
ride before Gen. Wood issued his or
Ger for martial law.
The order provided that no public
meetings or assemblies might be held
sin any street, park or other portion
of the city" However, it specifically
exempted from this provision theaters,
churches, motion picture houses and
lecture rooms.
The order set forth that all men in
the uniform of the United States army
in this city would be brought to mill
tary headquarters. If Investigation
developed that particular man was
"a part of the armed forces of the ma
ton" the order added, he would be
placed under the command of the mil
itary authorities in the city for duty.
IL. however, the man was out of the
service. the order stated, he would be
held pending further investigation
This latter provision was taken to
mean that discharged soldiers wear
ing their army uniforms in this city
would be held in custody.

SAYS HE WILL BURN FiUME
Gabrielle D'Annunzio Declares He and
Followers Will Fire City and

Fiume.-Gabriele D'Annunzio, who
stirred all Italy, told the Universal
Service correspondent that he and his
army of 10000 men will burn Fiume
and die in the ruins, rather than ac-
cept any settlement unless the entire
city, port, railways and surrounding
territory are awarded to Italy.
Looking from the windows of the
governors palace where D'AnnunZio
received me, one could see lying in the
harbor more than 20 italian torpedo
boats, composing the poets fleet The
palace was thronged with young and
enthusiastic officers, members of his
general staff. The people of Fiume
were attending to their ordinary busi-
ness, but the streets were filled with
troops, infantry, artillery and machine
gun battalione

REMEDIES FOR
LABOR TROUBLES
PROPOSITIONS TO CONFERENCE
FOR INDUSTRIAL TRUCE AND
ARBITRATION BOARD PLAN.
GOMPERs SPRINGS SURPRISE
Suggests Arbitration of Steel Strike.
Committee Is Appointed To In
vestigate the High Cost of
Living.

ashington.-Concrete proposals de
signed to bring about better relations
between employers and employed were
laid before the national industrial con
ferences by members of the various
groups making up the gathering. The
proposals included:
Arbitration of the nationwide steel
strike with return of the men TO work
pending settlement; an industrial
truce starting Immediately and con-
tinuing three months; creation of an
arbitration board by the president and
congress and including among its
members all ex-presidents; and COM
prehensive plan for adjudication of in
dustriaI disputes through boards of
arbitration in the various industries.
The conference also took its first
concrete action in adopting a motion
offered by Thomas l.. Chadbourne, a
representative of the public. providing
that a committee consisting of three
members from each of the group of en-
ployers, labor and the public, be ap-
pointed to investigate the high cost of
living.
The proposal for the settlement of
the steel strike, introduced by Sam
uel Gompers, president of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, and one of
tho delegates, soon after the confer
ence met, came as a surprise to the
groups representing the public and
the employers. In offering the pro
posal, Mr.. Gompers explained that it
had the support of the labor delegates
Including the representatives Of the
railroad brotherhoods. The proposal
like all others submitted under the con-
ference rules, was referred to the gen.
eral committee composed of five repre-
sentatives of each group. 1t generally
was believed that the proposal would
be in the hands of this committee for
some time.
AS chairman OF the public group
Bernard Baruch introduced the propo-
sal for an industrial peace formulated
by A. a Landon of Buffalo, and
the plan that a national board OF con-
Citation and arbitration be created
which was put forward by Favin Nc
Nab of San Francisco. In offering the
proposals, Mr.. Baruch explained that
he was merely acting for his group
and that under the conference rules
the introduction Of the proposals did
not indicate either that the proposals
set forth the chairmans views or that
they had the Endorsement of the group.
The proposal for adjustment of
labor disputes through joint boards
of employers and workers in each in
dustry with appeal to general boards
appointed by the president and a final
appeal to an umpire also came from
the public group. 1t was drafted by
Secretary of Labor Wilson and was
understood to have been Endorsed by
President Wilson.

General Hines wrote T. Dewitt Guy
| Ter. chairman of the railways execu-
! tives that il would be Impossible for
the government to establish any gen.
eral readjustment of rates." because
earnings of the roads under abnormal
conditions prevailing in the early part
of this year did not afford a fair test
OF income.
The manifest desire of the public
to have the Interstate Commerce
Commission exercise full authority in
any readjustment of rates to be eff
fective under private control also was
cited by the director general as an
objection to the railroad administra-
TONS undertaking such a readjust-
ment
MY view," wrote the director gen.
eral, has been and is that this i'm
portant matter must be handled in
accordance with the two following
considerations. First, the question OF
an increase in rates could not prop
erly be considered Or the exclusive
basis of the unfavorable showing
which the railroad administration
was making in the early part of this
year, because that showing was very
largely due to an abnormally small
freight business, so that the results
of that period could not fairly be
taken as a test for making increases
in rates. Necessarily, therefore, it
seemed to me that the formulation
of any proposal for a general increase
in rates would have to await a better
opportunity for making an estimate
as to what the earning capacity would
be under normal conditions. I have
been increasingly confirmed in this
opinion by the variable developments
which have taken place.
'Second-It has seemed to me that
the public would not be satisfied I'M
der existing conditions to have any
general increase in rates put into eff
feet without the concurrence of the
Interstate Commerce Commission. The
public sentiment to this effect has
been manifested in many ways
throughout the year and has been en-
phasized by the passage by two
houses of congress of two bills pro-
viding that there shall be an oppor-
tunity to review any rates proposed
by the railroad administration before
those rates shall go into effect. 1t
follows. therefore that time and op-
portunity must be pre- ided for public
making authority of any rate propos-
ais now made"

RAILROAD STRIKE
IS COMPROMISED
PEOPLE OF GREAT BRITAIN ARE
BREATHING FREELY AGAIN AS
RESULT OF SETTLEMENT.
AGREE ON MINIMUM WAGE
During the Ten Days of Suspension of
Work There Was Absence of Vio-
Ience, Although Many Feared
Revolution Would Result.

London.-With dramatic suddenness
in the quiet OF London afternoon it
was announced to a knot of people
waiting in Downing Street that the
great railway strike, which appeared
to have brought the country almost
to tie brink of revolution, was settled,
and that the strikers would resume
work as quickly as possible.
The terms of the settlement are in
the nature of a compromise. The ma
tional union of railway men agrees to
call off the strike, and the govern
ment consents to renewal of the ne
gotiations, and the continuance of the
existing wage scale for another year.
Instead of six months as previously
offered, and the establishment of a
minimum wage of 81 shillings. while
the cost OF living is 10 per cent above
sae pre-war level.
The settlement was the result of a
long conference between the trade
unions, including representatives of
the railway mems union, and Premier
Lloyd George and Andrew Ronar Law
in the famous conference room in
Downing street. Prior to this there
vas cabinet meeting.
II IS conceded on all sides that the
settlement is the outcome of the mod
crate but determined efforts of the
executive of the Transport Workers
Federation and men like Arthur Hen
derson and John Robert Clynes. who
throughout have set their faces stead
Jig against the idea of sympathetic
strike until every possible avenue OF
mediation had been explored
The official terms OF the settlement
are as follows:
'First-Work shall be resumed i'm
nlediately.
Second Negotiations will be re-
sumed on the understanding that they
shall be completed before the end of
the year.
'Third-Wages will be stabilized at
che present level until Sept 80. 1920
and at any time after Aug. l they
may be reviewed in the light of cir
then existing
"Fourth-No adult railway men in
Great Britain shall receive less than
81 shillings per week, while the cost
o. living is 10 per cent above the pre-
war level
.'Fifth-The railway unions agree
that their men viii work harmonious
ly with the men who returned to work
or who remained at work during the
strike. Nor shall there be any victim
iZation of strikers
''Sixth-Arrears of wages will be
paid or resumption of work.

OFFICERS TO RETAIN RANK
Rear Admiral Sims, Benson and Mayo
Will Not Lose Titles Acquired
During the War.

hington.-Permanent rank of
vice admiral for Rear Admirals Sims,
Benson and Mayo is proposed in a
compromise bill ordered favorably re-
ported by the senate naval commit
tee. President Wilson had recon-
mended the rank of full admiral for
Sims and Benson and this was pro-
vided for in the measure as it passed
the house.
The Senate compromise resulted
from opposition to giving the rank
OF admiral to Admiral Benson, form
er chief of naval operations, and also
to insistent demand that equal recog
milton be accorded Admiral Mayo, who
commanded the Atlantic fleet during
the war.
