INDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE
IN PITTABLE PLIGHT

Wa shington. November 24-(SpeciaD
| Nothing has ever presented a more pit
| liable plight than the international In
dustrial conference which has been in
session in Washington for some weeks,
and which will adjourn November 90,
just prior to the reconvening of Con-
gress.
The conference was invited to Wash
ington by President Wilson, in belief
that by the date of its convention,
| the United States would be member
of the League of Nations. and could
participate in it's sessions. When the
conference convened. the United States
was not a member of the League of
Nations and could not participate
Two unfortunate events occurred The
President was stricken i'll and could
not appear as an informal leader The
republicans of the Senate because the
United States was not a member of
the league criticized the conference
for visiting Northumberland to
it as an unwelcomed guest. an inter
loper. trespasser and altogether as
a body without pride or virtue.
Thus handicapped, the conference at
tempted to work. The delegates seated
Germany over the protest of France,
and France got sore. Canada then prac-
'tically withdrew unless the United
States was bound. Inasmuch as the
United States was not a member of
the league. the United States could
not be bound by the rules and regula-
tions of any offspring of the league.
The conference remained in session
during the days in which the Senate
prepared to kill and eventually did
indefinitely postpone the league cove
nant and the treaty And then it con-
cluded to hasten its work and ad-
journ. 1t in a way reta1iates on Con-
gress by preparing to adjourn just
two days prior to the return of Con-
gress. -
The, delegates are from all parts of
the world. Their errand not only
proved fruitless. but resulted in their
acute embarrassment. The President
Is deeply grieved at the result, it is

New York, Sept 9.-For the ad-
vances that were seen in the stock
market today no particular expiana-
tion is needed. It was simply a nat
ural reaction from the pessimism OF
the previous week. 1t is understood
now. even by union labor. that Boil
shevism has no place in the steer
mills. Professionals began at Ine
very opening to discount the victory
of American labor, but In the aIter-

Department of Commerce, gave lot

as a barometer Of the situation. Both

an hour or so. while union labor lead

Jack Pershing. shortly following the

days-became a lawyer as well as
soldier. For, while on leave, he
was detailed to become professor Of
military science and tactics at the
University Of Nebraska. in Lincoln.
Tho story OF his being detailed
to the university is interesting. As

he was at West Point, had moved
to Lincoln. Jack Pershing had Wis
tied the family there when on leave.

to respect and love him even as

Syndicate)
This Is not an important day in
planetary direction. according to as
trology. Neptune and Jupiter are in
benefc aspect and Venus is adverse.
It is a day in which commercial en-
terprises should benefit since the stars
encourage confidence and initiative.
Trade should be satisfactory in most
lines Of business during the coming
weeks. While much activity Is in
dicated, thrift and care are enjoined
In all ventures.
Strikes will interfere with many ac-
tivities important in the reconstruc-
ton period. but engineers and con-
tractors have q most encouraging d.
rection of the stars.
Maritime interests come under a
sway making for large profits and ex-
tending commerce, but a sinister sign
seems to indicate trouble with a fore
ign power.
This is a favorable rule for all lines
of psychic investigation, but warning
is given that danger of insanity ac-
companies all efforts to ply into the
secrets OF the hidden world.
Neptune again gives promise Of new
discoveries of oil to meet increased
demands. This planet seems to fore
cast widespread use for fuel. owing
to some serious shortage due to Sat-
urn's malign influence on mining in
terests. This Is not a lucky wedding
day. Love affairs are subject to a
planetary government making for de-
ceit and disillusionment
Hotel proprietors are still subject to
a rule that is not at all favorable. but
there is a forecast of improvement in
profits as the winter advances.
Venus Is in a place read as indicat-
management. Servants will be scarce
and new methods Of meeting problems
Of home management will be intro
duced.
Again cooperation in domestic as
well as business affairs is foretold
This system will be introduced into the
