President Rests Well.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-President
Wilson has been informed of the treaty
situation in the senate through let
ter from Senator Hitchcock, it was
learned at the white house this morn
ing.
Wilson has been told Of other mat
ters, such as the threatened miners
strike and the deadlock in the indus
trial conference by means Of reports
laid bfore him by Secretary Tumulty.
Information is conveyed to the
president directly by Mrs. Wilson and
by DR.. Cary T. Grayson. who talk with
him and read to him, it was stated at
the executive mansion.
Tumulty today was requested to
come to the white house He did not
know whether he would see the presi-
dent personally. Tumulty conferred
last night with Secretary Lane, who is
chairman of the industrial conference,
Bernard NJ. Baruch and Chairman
Chadbourne of the committee Of fif.
teen. Wilson desired, it was believed,
more information about the confer
ence.
Hitchcock in his letter to Wilson
made an optimistic report, according
to what was given out at the white
house
This it was said greatly cheered
him.
The president rested well last night
and his condition was improved this
morning, according to Tumulty. Com
plications which have disturbed his
rest during the past week did not
trouble him.
The cabinet was to meet again today
with Secretary Lansing presiding. The
principal matter for consideration it
was learned, was the impending
miners strike.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21-John
Spargo, socialist and writer today was
working to bring capital and labor
nearer together in the national indus
trial conference.
Spargo was preparing complete
code of basic principles of industrial
relations which he hopes to introduce
and have the conference adopt prin-
ciple by principle.
The code contains about $500 words
and takes up the steel strike, the
threatened coal strike and other in
dustrial disturbances only in an ad-
ldena
After we decide on general prin-
ciples for government of industrial
relations, it will then be logical time
to take UP specific disturbances" said
Spargo.
Spargo planned to introduce his code
Immediately after a vote on collect
i've bargaining if the conference fails
to agree on that long discussed sub
ject
The code includes a plan to table
all proposals that have been introduc-
ed in the conference and make fresh
start.
Spargo has laid his plan before
Chairamn Lane, members of the pup
lie group, including John D. Rock
feller, Jr., and Judge Elbert H. Gary.
chairman of the United States Steel
corporation, members Of the labor
group and others.
Vote on the collective bargaining
question seemed certain to occur in
the conference today The central
committee was to meet at $3.50 a. m.
to prepare it's report to the conference
on the collective bargaining proposal
now being discussed
This proposal introduced more than
week ago, has been discussed and
revised by the employers group which
has been working on it almost contin-
uously since Friday Employers last
night hoped to reach an agreement on
it.
The employers decision was to BE-
made known early today through the
central committees report. If the
committee reaches an agreement on
collective bargaining, the proposal
will come to a vote Immediately on
the conference floor.

Dictates Letter In Bed.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-The presi-
dent insisted on writing a letter to
Secretary Lane with regard to the
threatened disruption Of the industrial
conference. His physicians advised
against it, but were compelled to yield,
both because of Wilson's wishes and
the pressure brought to bear by high
Off cials of the government for him
to take a hand.
The president was not fatigued by
his effort in writing the letter, ac-
cording to Grayson. This was consid-
cred surprising in view of the fact
that Wilson did not sleep well during
the night.
Participation of the president in the
Industrial conference does not mean
any general resumption Of work will
be permitted, Grayson said.

private from the president to Lane,
but Lane may use it if he considers it
wise.

he said, that there was some danger
of certain members, or elements in I
