WASHINGTON Oct. III United
Press 1.-The President today drafted
letter to the Industrial Conference
Secretary Lane chairman of the Con-
ference said he probably would read
it at this afternoons meeting. The
nature of the letter was not stated
in advance, but it was expected to be
an admonition to conferees to get to-
gether in the face Of the country's Sc
rious Industrial situation.
The letter was dictated by President
Wilson from his bed. 1t was written
OH the theory, Lane said, that there
was danger of certain members in the
conference withdrawing. Personally
Lane said, he didn't believe there was
any real danger of this and hoped it
wouldn't be necessary to read the
Presidents letter.

In reply 10 this statement OF Mr..

The foregoing section quoted
clearly defines the function OF the

by telegram which Piez himself

fleet corporation has not the right
to state that they will not negotiate
or deal with us unless the strikers
return TO work.
"Piez states that the award was
rendered effective on August /,
1918, but omits the fact that the de-
cision was not made public until two
or three days before the armistico
was signed, resulting in delay OF
over three months. Piez In quoted
as saying that It Is Uncomfortable

ell never has and never did sanction
the signing OF the memorandum. As
has been previously stated, the
agreement was signed in violation OF
the constitutional rights of the

cations involved.
I'm conclusion, we wish TO state
that Piez Is evidently making his
statement In an endeayor to cover
up the deficiencies and mistakes OF

Many a man has had occasion to
say to his wife, MY dear, If I ran
my business as you run your home,
we should be bankrupt"
American men are noted for their
business intelligence. The aim of what
is called American business methods
is to do things in the shortest time.
for the least money and to the great
est practical perfection.
He Pays Bills.
American women. on the other hand.
are famous for their casual attitude
toward money. of course Jack scolds
men always do. But he pays the
bills. so what does it matter" they
all too frequently say.
Just as there are essentials OF good
management in the mans world OF
business, SO the womans world. the
home, has certain standards for ef-
tcient administration.
Business Methods
A simple working analysis OF Amer
ican business methods" would include
the following points:
\ successful business man knows the
amount of his capital, whether it is
invested with reasonable security, and
what his prospects of advancement
may be.
He handles his money through a re-
liable bank. using an accounting sys-
tenn by which he can conveniently
tell his expenditures. surplus and out
look at any given time. He meets
indebtedness promptly, upholding his
reputation for honesty and fair-deal-
ing.
Inside his own office. he maintains
similar standards of system and in
tegrity.
He has a personal knowledge of the
details OF his business, to check waste
