communication with public men.

OF course the president could not
attend the opening of the industrial
conference which he had summoned,
but 1t began its sessions, ~ the Pan
American building, with 80 delegates
present, equally divided among the
public, the employers and labor. Sec
rotary of the Interior Lane was made
permanent chairman and then the del
egates, split into groups, got busy on
the program that should be followed.
Naturally, they were swamred with
suggestions of all sorts and from all
parts of the country, and the job Of
sitting out the reasonable plans was a
big one. The rules adopted were de
signed to prevent the wasting Of time
by extremists and cranks who might
wish to talk at length on their theories,
whether radical or reactionary.
The somewhat hazy but mighty task
set for this conference is the discovery
Of some method of accomplishing in
dustrial peace, of bringing about an
understanding between employers and
workers, Of ending or lessening strikes
and lockouts so that production may be
increased and high costs lowered.
Every group, and probably every indi-
vidual delegate, has more or less def
mite ideas as to how all this may be ac-
complished, and it is to be hoped the
conference can hit on the right ones
and bring about their adoption.
The first plan presented TO the con
ference was for an immediate indus
trial truce to continue three months,
which would stop all strikes at once.
This was proposed by Chairman Ba-
ruch Of the public group, and follows
the scheme adopted in France. The
second proposition made by Chairman
Gompers of the labor group, was for
immediate arbitration of the steel
strike by n board Of six, two to be ap-
pointed by each group in the confer
ence; this contemplated the immediate
return Of the strikers to work perdng
the results Of the arbitration. a third
resolution, offered by Gavin McNab
of san Francisco, Of the public group
was for n permanent arbitration board
Of which all living ex-presidents shall
be members.

Another complication ia the affairs
of southern Russia Is announced.
Gen. Simon Petlura, the Ukrainian
leader, has declared war IN General
Deniklne, the commander Of the anti
bolsheyik army that is steadily fight
ing its way up to Moscow And at the
same time comes word that the Rus
sian volunteer army has surprised and
attacked the UkrainianS, a violent bat

troops Of the north Russian government
had some successes against the reds
and Admiral Kolchak reported that his
Siberian troops had recovered Tobolsk
from them. An interesting story from

that Trotzky tried to bring about the

labor questions-compulsory arbitra-

to strike regardless of the public vel

rcport on the Cummins railroad bill.
The measure has provisions prohibit
ing strikes and lOckOuts on the trans

before which disputes between the
workers and the corporations must be
taken for settlement. This board
would have four members from each
side. and in case of n deadlock the
question at issue would be referred to
