rRepuI,lican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON, Jan. 1S.-The industrial unrest prevalent throughout the coun- try is causing serious anxiety, not only to large employers of labor, but even to conservative labor leaders. The la Dor leaders taking this attitude in clude J. H. Thomas, general secretary of the railway mems union, who yes terday warned a meeting Of postal workers who were demanding A. hour week. more holidays and curtail- ment of night work, that the indus trial and economic position of this country gives cause for alarm
 The postal workers are only one of many trade unions which are demand ing shorter hours with the present or better pay.
 The attitude of the miners has caused the most comment as coal and it's price more directly affect the pub lie. It is estimated that to grant a 30 per cent increase in wages would send the price of coal up at least a dollar a ton.
 In addition to the miners, the ship builders on the Clyde and in other centers are agitating 4O-hour week, with daily wages of one pound. Dock ldDOTcIS d1c puttinS 1Oi LII ee NSii'eAhN AOA a 44-hour week.
 The carpenters are asking a 4T-hour week. Dock workers are agitated over the shortage of beer and the poor quality of it, and during the week there has been much stacking, particularly at Liverpool, from this cause. There has been a temporary shortage of beer at some shipping points, due to a strike of brewery employees, who also com plain of long hours. All these unions are strong numerically and well on ganized and from the tone of speeches at their meetings the members ap- parently are prepared to go to ex- tremes in their efforts to have condi- tions of labor improved along the lines laid down in their resolutions.
 There also have been minor troubles in the labor world. One of these af- fected the crew of the liner Adriatic The sailing of the vessel for New York with a full list of American passengers has been delayed several days, ana there is yet no indication of a settle. ment.

LLOYD GEORGE

Following is the address of British Minister Lloyd George, at the opening session of the peace conferences:
 I" count it not merely pleasure. but great privilege that I should be ex- pected on behalf of the British empire delegates, to support the motion of President Wilson. I do so for this req son, which he has so eloquently given expression to, as tribute to the man. When was a school boy, MT. Clemen- ceau was a compelling and conspic- uous figure in the politics of his native land. and his fame had extended far be- yond the bounds of France.
 Were it not for that undoubted fact, MT. President, I should have treated as legend the common report of your years. I have attended many conferences with MT. Clemenceau, and in them all the most vigorous, the most enduring and the most youthful figure there, has been that of MT Clem- enceau. He has had the youthfulness i; he has had the hopefulness and the fearlessness of youth. He is indeed the Grand Young Man of France, and I am proud to stand here to propose that he should take the chair in this great conference that is to settle the peace of the world
 T know of none better qualified, ol as well qualified, to occupy this chair than MT. Clemenceau. And I speak from my experience in it's claim. He and 1 have not always agreed. We have very often agreed. We have sometimes disagreed, and we have al. ways expressed our disagreements very emphatically, because we are ourselves.
 But although there will be delays and inevitable delays, in the signine of peace, due to the inherent difficul. ties of what we have to settle, I vii ! guarantee from my knowledge of MT Clemenceau that there will be no waste of time. And that is important l ''The world is thirsting and hungerins 1 for peace. There arem illions of peopl, who want to get back to the world work of peace. And the fact that MT | Clemenceau is in the chair will b. proof that they will get there withou any delays which are due to anythins except the difficulties which are es. sential in what we have to perform He is one of the great speakers of tn, world. But no one knows better thai | he that the best speaking is that whicl impels beneficient actions.

 Miss Blackwell, who has been in close touch with Madame Breshskovskaya for many years, discredited statements made in this country that political sig nificance was attached to her visit, and said reports that she intended to pro ceed to the peace conference came from ''untrustworthy sources"
 Since it has been rumored that Madame Breshskovskaya was coming to America" said Msss Blackwell, q have had requests from organizations in all parts of the United States who wish to obtain her as- speaker.

The entire as- semblage stood as the president spoke. | President Wilson stood immediately at his right and listened attentativeiy. M.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

PARIS, Jan. 1S.-The first formal session of the peace conference was opened freely to the press of all na- tions. How many of the succeeding sessions will, by the decisions of the conference, be held in camera, has not been indicated, but the American newspaper men, and probably also the British and Italian, are preparing to reopen the question of publicity, if they should decide that the flow of news is impeded by rules of secrecy. In formal communication to the conference, the Americans assumed that the rule forbidding the delegates to discuss the doings of the conference with the correspondents would not be enforced. While no announcement on this subject had been made, it is learned on the authority of delegates l that the rule does still obtain.
 1 What action the correspondents will take will probably be developed next week, when the exact character of the press representation and the number to be admitted to the conference will be determined.
 American Communication
 Following is the text of the com munication sent by the American newspaper men to the supreme council: 'The American press delegation acknowledges the reply of the peace 1 conference to the resolutions addressed to them. The delgation notes that the 1 decision that representatives of the 1 press shall be admitted to the meet l ings of the full conference is an ac- 1 ceptance of the principle of direct 1 press representation, for which the press of America, Great Britain and Italy, and smaller nations, have con- l tended.
 "The value of this principle, how ever, turns on the extent and frequen- cy of its limitations in practice. The | peace conference announces it's in tention to limit to the extent that. on necessary occasions the deliberations of the conference may be held in camera. Without assent on our part to this limitation, we trust that if ever it is applied. the public will be advised through the press. at the out set of each session in camera, of the subject to be discussed, and the name of the delegate or delegation making the motion to go in camera, and at the close of the session the conclusions or agreement reached.
 Demand Representatives
 "In view of the fact that we have not been advised to the contrary, we assume that any rule designed to pro- hibit communication between individ ual delegates and the press on the sub-
 jects of the conference, has now beer about removed and that the press is to have access to the verbatim rec ords of proceedings.
 'We call the attention of the peace conference to our request for moi fewer than five direct press repre- sentatives at each session of the con- , ference, and we submit that because
 of the manner in which several press
 associations serve the newspapers oi
 America, because of the attendance ) upon the conference of numerous in.
 dividual press representatives, the
 American newspapers cannot carry on their business of informing theil
 vast public with fewer than five rep resentatives."
