Conference Will Be Open
to ENJOYS of All the
People; Discussions of
Strikes To Be Barre d
20 Names Agreed Upon
Is More To Be Selected;
Meeting Likely to Take
Place Early in November
New York Tri5un

Washing gto, Bureau
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-Plans for
another industrial conference designed
to accomplish some of the things the
Administration hoped to gain from the
one which ended in discord last week
were discussed at the meeting to-day
of President Wilson's Cabinet. No de-
clslon was reached on the men who
will be asked to come to Washington
to represent not capital or labor, but
all the American people; but list Of
about twenty names was prepared, and
If President Wilson is able tomorrow
to transact business. will be laid be-
fore him then for his consideration.
Ii the President takes up the list
it is probable that fifteen or more
names may be approved and the con-
terence called for early in November
Every sort Of employer and worker
and salaried man to be found in the
country will probably be included in
the list, for every shade of opinion is
desired in the second conference.
1t was said tonight that none of
the men in any of the three groups in
the first conference had been included
in the list OF the Cabinet for the Sec
slate clean and begin all over again.
No Strike Discussion
No opportunity will be given at this
conference to inject the steel strike
situation or the coal strike-if that
becomes fact by the time the con-
ference meets-but the main purpose
will be to evolve some method by
which capital and labor can get closer
together and the interests of the public
be conserved.
Members of the Cabinet were hoping
tonight that the second conference
will be fruitful. They feel that the
time has come when something must
be done in the United States to settle
the conflicts between labor and capital
and something which will not permit
future resort TO strikes and lockouts
and the consequent curtailment Of pro-
duction, idleness and discomfort.
They feel that there is strong
enough public opinion in the country
now to bring about such a result, and
that it is impossible that the brains of
the country cannot work out some sort
of basis on which capital and labor can
approach their differences.
Whole People First
The delegates to the second confer
ence will be made to feel that they can
speak for any class they wish, but that
the whole interest of the American
people is paramount, and that the ques-
tions which arise shall be considered
from this viewpoint. Since there will
be only one group, there can be no
group voting as at the first conference,
and every situation will be taken up
from the standpoint of how it would
affect the nation at large.
In view of the Presidents great in
terest in the conference, officials were
hopeful tonight that he will be able to

Mr.. Wilson Urged to
Name Representatives
Of Churches on Board

''Tne great issue in the impending
industrial crisis is a moral one" is
the declaration embodied in a tele
gram sent yesterday to President Will
son by the Interchurch World Move
ment of North America, in which tha,
organization urged the Executive to
name representatives of the Catholic
and Protestant churches in the per-
sonnel of the new industrial board to
be appointed by him.
The message was signed by Charles
S. Macfarland, general secretary of
the Federal Council of Churches of
Christ in America, and S. Earl Tay
Tor, general secretary of the Inter
church World Movement. 1t read:
1--WE urge respectfully and most
earnestly that you include in the per-
ence or commission which you are
about to appoint representatives of
the Protestant and Catholic churches
men who command public confidence,
who have had extended experience il
social work and practical economics
and who will accentuate in the confer
ence the ethical point of view.
he great issue in the impending
industrial crisis is moral one. and
IN your endeavors to arrive at a solu-
tion the church, the greatest moral
force in our national life, can be help
full, constructive and practical. Both
Protestant and Catholic churches have
been dealing with industrial problems
on a comprehensive, organized basis
for months, and they have gathered
valuable data and have men well
trained that are all at your command.
The viewpoint of the church is at
once national and unselfsh and We
submit that it may be made of great
est service in the present emergency

Interesting Personnel
The line of accredited delegates
waiting to register for the congress
was interesting and historical in it's
personnel. From the stalwart influence
of Margaret Bondtield. the famous
leader of the English labor women, to
the diminutive figure of DR.. Takana, of
Toxic, Japan, who came to find out how
the women of Cherry Blossom Land
might unite with the worlds working
womanhood in it's struggle for better
ment, every shade of the women's trade
union movement was reflected through
nationalities. There were Argentina,
Poland, France, Belgium, the United
States, England, Italy, Sweden, Switzer-
land, Canada, japan and Czecho- -Slo-
vaka.
Mile. Bouvier, of France, told how
the French working woman sees
the world woman's special mission
just now in protecting motherhood and
childhood. Miss Bondfield said friend

of many countries by this conference,
was as important as any constructive
action which would arise from the de-

Or. Alicia Moreau, Of Argentina
speaking in French, hoped that the
unity Of ideas expressed would grow
into unified effort. DR.. Takana said the
Japanese women were just awakening
to their organization possibilities, and
wanted to show the other countries

Also Confesses Defeat

member of the Steel Workers. Council
at Gary and captain of pickcts, ad-
mttcd to military authorities to-day
that the steel strike is lost.
There is no pretending" he said
to Colonel w. S. Mapes, commanding
the regular troops. "The men are
going back to work. The strike is lost,
and the army is responsible"
On hearing of that admission, John

committee directing the strike. said :
The strike is won. no matter what
the outcome may be-"
In explaining his statement. Mr..
Fitzpatrick said:
"Strikos may Dc won even though
they are lost. This struggle is only
laying .he groundwork for future
battles.
"The steel worker may be starved
into going back to work, but he has
learned this: He knows now the
steel corporation is not bigger than
the will of the men working for it.
He knows now that he can close down
the entire works. Knowing this he
will never again submit sheeplike to
the conditions under which he has
labored for years. For twenty or
more years the steel worker has been

Many workers were reported to have
