the country editor plugs right

happen if he struck for higher

when he has to serve all posi-

longer hours, but that's impossi-

that the strikers were ready to aroi-
trate at any time since the industrial
struggle started f. II. Gary, chair
man of the board of the United States

Washington. Oct. 9.-Concrete pro-
posals designed to bring about better
relations between employers and the
employed We're laid before the ma
tional industrial conference today by
members of the various groups max
ing UP the gathering, The proposals
nCluaed
Arbitration of the nationwide steel
strike with return of the men to work
pending settlement; an industrial
truce starting immediately and con-
tinuing three months; creation OF an
arbitration board by the president
and congress and including among its
members all eX-presidents, and Il
comprehensive plan for adjudication
of industrial disputes through board
OF arbitration in the various indus
tries.
The conference today also took It's
first concrete action in adopting a
motion, offered by Thomas l., Chad
bourne, representative of the publlc,
providing that a committee consist
ing of three members from each or
the groups of employers. labor ana
the public be appointed TO investigate
the high cost of living.
The proposal for settlement of the
steel trike. introduced by Mr. Comp
ers, came as IA surprise TO the groups
representing the public and employ
ers. In offering the proposal Mr,
Gompers explained that il had the
support of the labor delegates, in
Guiding the representatives OF the rail-
road brotherhoods The proposal like
all others submitted today. under the
conference rules was referred to the
,r-. . NIT fAa aIF "a
representatives of each group. 1t
generally was believed that the pro-
posal would be in the hands of this
committee for some time.
AS chairman of the public group
.'fc1qAId, NJ Raruch introduced the
proposal for an industrial peace,
formulated by A, A. Landon OF Buff
falo, and the plan that a national
board of Cancellation and arbitration
be created which was put forward
by Gavin McNab of San Francisco.
The pronosal of adjustment of
labor disputes through joint boards
for employers and workers in each
industry with appeal TO general boards
appointed by the president and a
final appeal to an umpire also came
from the public group. 1t was drafted
BY Secretary of Labor wilson and was
understood to have been endorsed by
President Wilson.
Speaking for the employers group,
which put forward no plans today,
Chairman Harry A. Wheeler explain
ed that five different interests were
included in the group and that this
fact had delayed framing of the
groups suggestion for the conference.
The prospect tonight was that fol-
lowing the introduction of the en-
ployers' demands, the conference will
recess for ten days or two weeks to
allow the general committee and such
special committees as may be named
time to take action on the material
before it.
