GROUP WILL
SUPPORT LABOR IN
DEMANDS FOR c. B.
rRepubllcan A. p. Leased wIre1

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S-A tenta-
tive agreement on collective bargain
ing was reached by the general COM
mittee of the National Industrial Con-
ference tonight after an all day. ses-
sion. Committee members will con-
suit with their respective groups to-
morrow and final action on framing a
report to the conference will be taken
by the general committee tomorrow
night.
The tentative declaration retained
the form of the original and was brok-
en- up into u different parts each
item stating a specific principle, in
order to be readily subject to amend>
ment. The discussion in committee,
which totalled eight hours, hinged al
most entirely on the right of "outsid-
ers" to represent employees in negoti-
ations with employers. 1t was a day
of ups and downs during which at times
agreement seemed in sight. and at
times the breech widened and COM
promise seemed impossible. The COM
mittee recessed frequently to allow
the labor and capital groups to caucus.
In q statement today, G. S. Barrett,
president of the Farmers National Co
operative Union and a member of the
Employers Group of the conference,
declared agricultural generally would
support labor in its demand that the
right of collective bargaining be rec
ognized by the industrial conference.
Il am unwilling" he said ito with
hold from any other group of men that
which / demand for myself or my own
group. Organized labor has asked
that the conference endorse its posi-
tion on collective bargaining.
This position to my mind is per-
fectly correct and l don't see how
can oppose it without stultifying my
self. The national board of farm or
ganizations has officially endorsed the
capital Copper Herseman bill. This
bill gives the farmers the right to col
lectively dispose of their products
Collective buying and collective sell
ing are as general policies inevitable

ence 10 prevent their consummation

Debates Foreign
To Treaty Delay
Reading Of Text
[RepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-Plans to
hasten senate action on the peace
treaty were upset again today a ramb
ling debate occupying most of the
afternoon that had been set aside for
completion of the formal reading of
the treaty text
When adjournment was taken, after
a four hour session, only about an
hours progress had been made in the
reading, which will be resumed Mon
day.
Starting with discussion of the
cause of Irish independence, the de-
bate shifted to such subjects as the
obligations of article ten of the league
of nations covenant and the dismem-
berment of Turkey and wound up with
a bitter argument about the war record
of Senator Hitchcock, Nebraska. the
administration leader in the treaty
fight
The Irish question got before the
senate in a resolution by Senator
Walsh, democrat. Montana. a suppor-
ter of the treaty in its present form.
His resolution proposed that as soon
as the United States takes member
ship in the league of nations, it call
attention to the right of the Irish peo-
pie to self government.
Senator Walsh argued that such a
course, suggested by President Will
sons declarations on his western trip
offered the best hope for Irelands
freedom. Several senators replied that
it offered no hope at all, Senator Pen
rose, republican, Pennsylvania, char
acteriZinz it as "the crowning, most in
solent effort yet to bunco' the Irish
The resolution went over without
action.
The climax of the days debate came
when Senator Poindexter, republican
Washington, attacking the war record
of Senator Hitchcock, got fiery reply
from the Nebraska senator, who de-
Tended his course in proposing an en-
barge on arms and declared he would
rather have the ill-will of Senator
Poindexter than his respect.
Many of Mr.. Hitchcock's utterances
before this country entered the war
were quoted by Senator Poindexter
who declared the former had praised
the German government expressed
sympathy for the German people and
condoned the German atrocities.
Senator Hitchcock said he had in
troduced the embargo bill in the inter
est OF neutrality at time when the
sentiment of the country was almost
unanimous that the United States
| should keep out of war and that ht
still believed it would have been bet.
| ter had neutrality been maintained
then and this country spared the sac.
r1fices it eventually had to make.

NEW RAIL BILL
is DESIGNED TO
PREVENT STRIKES

WASHINGTON, Oct. -1S.-Per-
r,anent railroad legislation was ad-
vanced a step today, the senate IN
terstate commerce committee com
pietinq work on its bill providing
for return of the railroads to pri-
vste ownership and operation under
strict government supervision and
with drastic provisions against
strikes or Iockouts.
The bill is to be reported out
early next week and placed in po-
sition for senate debate immediately
after disposal of the treaty OF YER
saiIIes, with leaders planning its
passage next month.
Anti strike provisions provide
fines of $500 or six months impris-
onment, or both, for railroad en-
ployes or officials or others con-
yicted of participating in or aiding
strikes or Iockouts. The prohibition
against aiding strikes was inserted
committee members said, to reach
both radicals and labor leaders who
"aid. abet, council, command, in
duce or procure" action toward a
strike.
In order that grievances of en-
pIoyes may be heard and adjusted,
the committee provided for the es-
tsblishment of general and re-
gional committees on railroad
wages and working conditions to
be composed equally of railroad
employees and employers.

NOTED IN CONDITION
OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE


WASHINGTON Oct. 1S.-President
Wilson passed the best day he has
known since his present illness began.
Rear Admiral Cary It. Grayson, his
physician, said tonight. No operation
will be necessary TO relieve the swell
ing of the prostate gland which has
complicated the case and the president
is making slow but satisfactory re-
covery from his nervous exhaustion.

condition issued at 10 o'clock tonight
follows:
The president had a comfortable
day. He has taken abundant nourish-
ment and is somewhat stronger. The

torily and no change in the simple
treatment employed Is contemplated.

luminous coal miners, called for
November first.
After a series of conferences
with labor leaders here and tele-
phone talks with others in the
central coal territory, John L. Lew
is, president Of the United Mine
Workers of America, announced
that the miners would go out un-
less all demands, including the
five day-week were granted.
The operators, standing by their de.
cision not to consider any propose
looking to a shorter weekly schedule
and refusing to open negotiations un'
less the strike order was withdrawn
charged that the miners were trying
to freeze the country into submission
by insisting upon acceptance of i'm
possible demands"

WASHINGTON, Oct. Is.
-"The final crash of the
Trotzky-Lenine regime may
be delayed some weeks, but
it is inevitable"
Official information re-
ceived here thus summarizes
the situation in Russia. The
closing act of the red drama
is already under way, ac-
cording to reports from mill
tary attaches and special
agents.
Only the inertia of the anti-bol-
sheviki groups has permitted the pres
ent Moscow government to remain
alive beyond September Is, one official
who has made a special study of the
situation, said. The bolsheviki organ
ization, the reports say, has been so
poor at the foundation-the confidence
of the masses-that only a push was
necessary to start the fall. This push
has been lacking because there was no
efficient cooperation between the anti
red leaders and in the absence of in
| itiative or ability on the part of any
one of them to start the forward
| movement
Closing in On Reds
