said, he feared his one-time wife in
tended to take them to Europe, which
would violate the decree obtained by
Mrs. Gibson IL Newport. This provided
that Lieutenant Pratt should have the
custody of the children one month of
The year consecutively.
Mrs. Gibson, in her answer, said
Lieutenant Pratt is disqualified from
acting as guardian of the children. for
love for the children, ignorance of their
needs. lack of financial resources and
his mode Of living.
Mrs. Gibson, who is granddaughter
of the late H. II. Rogers, said she had
no intention of taking her children to
Europe, but to Newport, of which she
is a legal resident. She obtained her
divorce on the ground Of neglect to

Finnish Delegates
ToLabor Congress
Given Their Seats
Treated on Same Basis as
Those of United States
or Other Countries Not
in the League of Nations

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.--Delegates
to the international labor conference
voted unanimously to-day, after two
days debate, to seat the representa-
tivcs from Finland. The agreement
was compromise which invites the
delegates "to take part in the confer
ence on the same conditions rs OBJ
tain in the case Of other countries
which have not adhered to the covenant
of the league of nations"
Finnish delegates, representing the
government, employers and labor of
their country, have been here since
the conference convened and they are
expected to take their seats at the
next session, on Monday. Their status
is identical with that fixed for the
American delegates.
The report on seating the delegates
from Finland as finally adonted pro-
vides that it shall not be accepted as n
ruling on the question Of the principle
involved. The greater part OF the de-
bate has been upon the right OF the
lnbor. conference to determine eligibil-
ity of de legations in cases where the
governments represented were rot
3 Archibald Crawford, of South Africa,
placed before the congress motion for
a ruling on the question by the league
OF nations and for an appeal to the
court of international justice in the
event of an unfavorable interpretation.
His motion will form part Of the
agenda Monday.
Stuart Burning. labor delegate from
Great Britain, sharply criticized his
colleague, Sir Malcolm DeIaviene. the
government delegate who yesterday had
announced that he would appeal to
the court il the Finnish delegates were
seated.
Il do not want to accuse Sir Nal
COIN Of threaten ng this conference" "
Mr Burning said, "but certainly his
w rds were capable Of that interpre-
tat ion, and want TO protest against
threats from any delegate, government,
employer or labor, being uttered in
this conference. Language Of that
kind is exceedingly unfortunate and
may early destroy the ami+y which is
the keynote of our success"
Austrian delegates to the conference
will De unable to attend, the conference
was notified early to-Cay by the Aus
trian delegation in Paris. The Austrian
message, which was read before tac
assembly 10 day, FOL ows:
"Although 1t isn't possible fer the
Austrian government 10 send It's own
representatives to the labor conference.
for Known reasons the Austrian govern
'nent follows with the greatest interest

work for the benefit Of humanity, and
