DEMURRS ID.
 INDICTMENTS. OF NEWBERY. OPENS FIGHT.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Dec. 29.-(P)-Thc first in dication of the character of the fight to be made by Sen ator Truman H. NcWbcrry, recently indicted by a local federal grand jury for al legged wholesale election frauds, came today when counsel for the Michigan senator filed a demurrer to the indictment. In this de- murrer the cOnStltutlOnaIIty of the election laws of the state are attacked and 1t is asserted that the majority of counts in the indictment against Mr. NcWbcrry do not constitute offenses against the United States.
 The court has taken the demurrer into consideration and will give its ruling in a few days. It is generally believed here that 1t will be overruled. It Is said that this is but the opening gun in a legal battle which will last for at least three months and there is a strong possibility that 1t will take longer than that to reach a jury with the cases.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec 29.-(PD
 That organized labor is not pleased with the attitude of the second na- uonal industrial conference toward q solution of the industrial unrest and economic problems of the country Is evidenced by statements made this evening by President Gompers of the NmeriCan Federation of Labor In this statement Mr- GQmpers declares that the failure of the conference to recognize definitely and specifically the organizations of the workers trade unions as the basis of repre- sentatiOn is a fatal omission He says that cooperation with the wage earners is only possible thru an or ganization. or organizations. of their own making.
 REPORT PRELIMINARY.
 The report which the conference made to President Gompers yester- day is stated to be merely a prelimI- rul one It's main recommendation i7 for the creation of national in Cust.-al board o1 inquiry and posses sing powers of adjustment for the settlement of all disputes affecting the industrial welfare of the country This board, presumably, would be similar to the war labor board which functioned to the satisfaction of the country during the war preventing many strikes and other labor dis turbances. Such a board, in the opinion of the conference would form a safeguard for the general public in curbing the powers and placing a check rein on both highly organized combinations of capital and over bearing labor unions.

CLEMENCEAU TO GIVE CALL FOR
 FIRST MEETING
NOTICE OF FIRST MEETING WILL COME IMMEDIATELY AFTER RATIFICATION IS EFFECTIVE; WILSON NOT IN POSITION TO ISSUE CALL.

PARIS, Dec. 29.-P)-It is stated here today that the first meeting of the council of the league of nations will come immediately after the rati- fication of the treaty of peace is eff fectiye It is believed probable that Premier Clsmenceau will issue the call instead of President Wilson as was originally planned and as is pro vided for in the fiftL article of the covenant of the league if nations.
 The concluding paragraph of Ar ticle of the covenant reads The first meeting of the assembly and the first meeting of the council shall be summoned by the President of the United States of America" The necessity of a formation of a work ing organization of the league of na- tions, coupled with the failure of the senate to take any action on the treaty, it is believed, will force the European nations to go ahead with out the assistance of the United States.

Brown, that the fair sex Should stand

The word obey will undoubtedly
be dropped" the Bishop said yester-
day in discussing the proposed
changes in the Book of Common
Prayer. "While there is no objection
to the word, if understood in the
proper way, the trend of the times
us that the man and wife should
stand on the same footing"
One Of the most valuable recon-
mendations which win be made. by the
commission, according to Bishop
Brown, is. in doing away with the
three baptismal. services and substi-
tuting one service only and in short
ening materially long exhortations.
Another useful change TO be sug-
gested is in. providing a permlssive
ending in the form for the. burial
service which is more or less abrupt
as it now stands.
