St. Louis To Be ssWet"
Mecca Ne1u Years Eue

Special Correspondence
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 14.-Unless the
Supreme Court of the United States
says may" there will be a record
New Years Eve celebration in St.
Louis. AS court decisions now
stand, st. Louis is the only really
wet" town in the United States. For
that reason people who like to cele-
brate New Years Eve with liquor
have their eyes fastened on St. Louis.
The hotels and restaurants have
made New Years Eve reservations
for persons from as far east as New
York. Bon vivants are coming thou
sands of miles to celebrate in St.
Louis, provided the town is "open"
on December 81.
st. Louis caterers say they will be
prepared to serve dinners at from
SO to IS a plate, all liquors to be
extra. Imported champagnes will be
from SIS to $25 a quart, when one
can get them.
The owner Of popular restaurant
said to-day that he had received
about seventyfive out of-town res
ervations. He estimates that 800
requests for reservations have come
from Eastern cities.

Transfer Not To Be Complex
Although the railroad administration
here probably will continue in exist

go back tc their owners, to settle
accounts and attend to other details,
the process of change will not be com

higher officials, most Of the railroad
corporations have retained their old Of
ficials under government control
Their general organizations have not
been changed greatly in personnel.
The shift back, as was the shift to
government control, would be largely a

Some of the features that have de-
veloped with government control, such
as the distribution of cars, may be re-
tanned under private control. because
Of the advantage over the old system.

From Tillers on Workers.

United Front for 1920:
CompersF FramedPlatform

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-American
Federation Of Labor officials made
another effort to-day to establish rela-
tions with farmers organizations. the
federation's cooperate committee u
appointed at the Atlantic City conven-
tion, meeting here with the represent
atives of several farmers groups.
While only one delegate from a farm
organization participated in the feder-
atoms demonstrations conference. n
which opened yesterday, it was under
stood the invitations sent by the COM
mlttee for to-day's meeting brought
better response. A report is to be sub
mitted to the executive committee of
the federation.
In view Of the declaration of prin-
ciples adopted by the conference YES
terday, it was generally believed in
labor quarters that the cooperation
committee had made greater progress
toward common ground on which to
meet the farmers representatives than
has any previous union group. Organ
lied labor was declared by several
spokesmen to be anxious to get organ
lied farmers in the fold for the cam
palgn which the workers plan to wage
in the coming election.
Seek Union With "Producers''
In this contention the statements
made in the declaration, adopted by
yesterdays conference, appealing to
"all of those who contribute to society
to unite in furtherance of the princi-
ples,' were explained to-day by labor
leaders to mean that organized labor
must be joined by the "producing
classes if its victory is to be complete ~
These leaders asserted that the prob
lens faced by organized labor are as
much the problems of the agricul-
turist class, because they are both
political and economic.
Every pressure is being exerted on
the farmer groups to line them up for
labor's program, it was indicated at
Federation of Labor headquarters. Eff
forts, it was said, will be made to show
the farmers that the conferences dec
laratlon against radlcalism means as
much to the tiller of the soil as to the
industrial worker, and that the organ
lied aid of the country worker is
needed in the fight against "autocratic
control and monopolistic maneuvering
Of the nations raw supplies"
Gompers Bars Changes
The whole "platform'' of yesterday's s
conference was understood to have
been drafted with view to making it
as acceptable as possible to the farm
ers.
1t is understood to have been pre-
pared under the personal direction of
Samuel Gompers, president of the Fed
Grafton. Because it was put out as a
"feeler" for the farmers Mr.. Gompers
would permit no changes by the con-
ference, according to authentic infor-
nation.
While it was noted that a strong
sentiment for some political party dec
laration permeated the general CON
ference yesterday, this, as we'll as the
proposed Endorsement of the new labor
party, fell by the wayside because Of
the likelihood that it would be accept
able to few farmers, labor delegates
said.

Mexico Defended
In Jenkins Case bv
Eatin-Americans
Residents of New York Urge
Peaceful Settlement of
DifferencesWith Country. :.
May Start Paper Here

A gathering Of leading Latin -Ameri-
cans, resident in New York, pledged
ltsel1 yesterday to work for a peace-
full settlement of the latest Mexican
controversy, to enlist the sympathies of
the various Latin-American republics
toward the same end, and to finance the
publication in New York of a Latin
American daily paper which will
foster the interests of Latin-Ameri-
cans in the United States.' The meet
ing resolved that Mexico's course in the
jenkins case had followed the prin-
ciples of international law throughout.
The society of Ibero- American
knights called the meeting, which was
held at the Hotel Ansonia. Octavio
Moscoso, president of the society, was
chairman, and among the prominent
Latin Americans who spoke were
vincente Balbas Capo, D. Collazo, FIX.
Arache, Rafael Boneta, Victor M. Marin.
NJ. Diez Rosado and Manuel A. Bigles.
The preliminary announcement stated
..i"e .iie hteellIS was CalleQ TO discuss
the problem of international peace in
the Western Hemisphere"
From o'clock until 7, the audience
listened to speeches in Spanish, and
passed revolutions worded in the same
tongue. The resolution supporting the
proposal 20 establish new Latin
American daily was first discussed and
warmly supported, the speakers stat
ing that such journal was neces-
sary 'in defense of Latin American
interests"
The second resolution called for the
sending of communications to all
tin-American governments urging
them to use their good offices toward
securing pacific settlement of the
present Mexican controversy. A
similar resolution asks the CO.
operation of all societies and organiza-
tions in the Latin-America countries.
Finally the meeting went unanimous
ly on record as being of the opinion
that the Mexican government has been
entirely within the recognized prin-
ciples and precedents of international
law, in it's handling of the jenkins
case. meeting was called for next
Sunday afternoon.

Acting President John L. Lewis. of
the United Mine Workers of America,
who is attending the labor reconstruct

that by Monday night 95 per cent of
the miners would be back at work.
Though it has been a difficult task
to reach all of the men in the short
time since the decision was reached"
he said, "it is certain that they will
go back"
Restrictions imposed on the use of
fuel during the strike gradually are
being removed undar the discretionary
authority to rescind such orders given
the regional railroad directors Thus
the working week will open tomorrow

Rail Board in General Control
Although most of the power to re-
Sclnd the various restrictions has been
placed in the hands of the regional
directors, the railroad administration is
continuing to exercise supervisory
control over bituminous coal and coke.
This has been made necessary not
alone by the resignation of Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield but also by the
designations of Cyrus Guernsey jr, as
sistant to DR.. Garfield, and John A.
Alport, chief engineer, both of whom
