MAY FLY OVER ELLSWORTH.
Airplane Now in Bangor, But Will
Make no Landing Here.

The airplane from which Ellsworth
hoped to receive a visit arrived in Ban
gor Monday evening, having made the
fight from Portland with stop at the
ing field at Bangor, three miles out of
Bangor, was soft and soggy from recent
rains, and though the plane made safe
landing, its wheels sank deeply into the
mud at the end of its run, and until the
field dries out considerably it will be i'm
possible to make "hop Off for fight.
A committee from Ellsworth went TO
Ba ngor Tuesday and saw Major Gilkison,
pilot OF the machine, in regard to flight
to Ellsworth, and looked over the field
there.
1t is very evident that Ellsworth has no
field sufficiently large and level for safe
landing place for plane OF the size driven
by Major Gilkison Curtis bi-plane of
fifty feet spread. Major Gilkison said he
would want halfmile strsightaway OF
firm and fairly smooth ground.
The most that the committee could do
was to urge Major Gilkison to make his
return trip from Bangor over Ellsworth,
thus avoiding the Camden hills, which
were trou ublesome in his flight to Bangor
| from Rockland, and giving Ellsworth a
glimpse Of the machine. He could not be
reached by telephone this morning.
| II, as it is hoped, he flies over Ellswort h,
word will be telephoned to Ellsworth h
! just as soon as it is known when he will
leave Bangor. That, for the reason
already stated, Is uncertain, but with
continued fair weather, he may be able
to get away from the Bangor field to- NOR
row. II word is received that he is COM
ing, the people will be notified by the
ringing of bells and blowing of whistles

ON BRITISH LABOR
Joint Committee of Employees
and Capitalists Appointed
at Conference.
TO REASSEMBLE APRIL |
BY The Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, February 27.-After an
all-day session devoted to airing the
various phases OF labor unrest the
Industrial conference, called by the
government, and in which govern
nsent ministers, labor leaders and
representatives Of the big employing
interests participated. adopted q reso-
luton presented by Arthur Hender-
son, 1aborite, for the appointment
of a joint temporary committee, to
be composed of thirty Iaborites and
thirty capitalists, to make thor
ough investigation into the questions
Of hours. wages, general conditions
OF work, unemployment and its pre-
vention and the best means for pro-
noting the relations between capital
and labor. The committee viii re-
port back to the conference, WHICH
will reassemble on April /.
The conference elected representa-
tives for the joint committee and
fixed the first meeting for Tuesday.
The workers committee includes Mr..
Henderson and Mr.. C1ynes and two
women, Margaret Bond Field and Miss
lyman. Sir Allan MacGregor Smith,
chairman of the managing committee
of the Engineering Employers Fed
GRAFTON, is to be chairman of the en-
ployers' committee.

Hopes for Early Peace Treaty.

Premier Lloyd George said he hoped
a preliminary peace would be signed
within the next few weeks, and de-
clared the blockade of Germany could
not be raised until Germany. had
signed treaty which would make
war impossible.
Concerning the industrial situation,
there were faults on both sides, the
premier said. The workers should
feel that they had an interest in in
dustry and the employers must place
more trust in the workmen. He hoped
that by summer the cost of living in
the workmen's household would be
reduced four shillings a week.
The premier said that the workers
naturally were determined to secure
a. higher and better standard of life
That was natural aspiration with
which the whole nation would sym
pathize. His conviction was that the
employers were prepared to go fur
ther than most workers imagined.
Labor Asserts Independence.
The early hours of the session were
marked by an assertion boldly made
by labor. of its independence and
warned that labor would be satisfied
with no halfway measures. How
ever, with the exception of one or two
radical speakers, who passionately
urged connScatlon or wealth and other
revolutionary measures. the labor
leaders, especially those representing
the most important trades unions, adj
vocated relief along constitutional
lines.
Sir Robert Horne. minister of labor,
opened the meeting with formal
statement on the labor situation, and
the measures the government was
taking to remedy conditions. He an
nounced that after expiration of the
period Of thirteen weeks of donation
to unemployed workers no& in oper-
alton the government proposed to re-
duce the amount for the succeeding
thirteen weeks, the men to receive
twenty shillings instead of twenty
nine and the women fifteen instead of
twenty-five,
Vigorous protests against this
scheme were voiced by all labor
speakers, including John Robert
Clynes. former food minister. who is
probably the most moderate of all
the labsr representatives.

Inquiry Into Unrest.

Al the suggestion of Premier Lloyd
George, who strongly advocated the
plan, the resolution was amended TO
include q sentence from a resolution
presented earlier by Sir Allan Smith.
chairman of the managing committee
of the Engineering Employers Fedora
ton. This called for a report by the
committee on the causes of the present
unrest and the steps necessary best to
safeguard the relations between capital
and labor.
A large majority of the conference
voted for the resolution, but a small
labor group vigorously protested, on
the ground that the conference was
not representative OF the whole OF
labor. A delegate of the Transport
Workers Federation slashingly at
tackled the resolution, declaring: THE
conference has been called for the pur-
pose of sidetracking all the efforts of
the men and women workers to i'm
prove themselves"
He was interrupted by cries OF
asNot no."

Called Greatest Problem.

He declared that the unrest was the
greatest problem ever confronted py

Mr.. Henderson made powerful ap-
peal to all to take steps Immediately
to- deal with the situation, which ne
termed grave, comprehensive and
me nacing."
Miss stephens. representing the
catering industry. was the only Wom-
an heard, though quite number of
women were present. She attacked
the proposed reduction of the wom-
ans unemployment benefit, advocated
a national workshop for woman
workers, and warned the premier,
who was sitting nearby, that unless
something is done to tackle the prob
lem of low wages there won't be any

Few Refuse to Vote.

Chairman Brownie of the executive
council of the Amalgamated Society
of Engineers, representing the triple
alliance of miners, transport and rail-
road workers, asserted that they
would not be bound by any decision
the conference made until they had
an opportunity to get instructions
from their unions. A few refused to
vote.
When an adjournment was taken for
the purpose of caucusing and choosing
members of the committee a lively
fight was anticipated in the chamber
to which the laborites retired. Wheth-
er the refusal of some elements of la
Dor to countenance tn. committee
would hinder--perhaps nullify-the plan
was anxiousfy debated as the delegates
moved out
The speeches disclosed that the par
ticipants were extremely eager to act,
as well as to talk. The gravity of the
situation was emphasized by all.
The premier waited until the last
moment before addressing the assem-
bly,, as he wanted to hear the views
of both sides.
'I came to hear a frank discussion"
he said, "and / got it."
Promises Living Cost Reduction.
He discussed at length the various
causes of the unrest and promised
