Washington, June 21.---Twelve prin- been endorsed by American employers as represented in the membership of the United States Chamber of Com merce. A canvass of a referendum vote announced today showed the pro- posal for national employment sys- tenn to have been the only article of 13 which failed to receive the two- thirds majority.
 Underlying the cardinal principle that the public interests requires adjustment of industrial relations by peaceful methods were those adopted the right of workers to or ganize;" that industrial harmony and prosperity will be most effectually promoted by adequate representation of the parties in interest,"" and that industrial relations agreements should be faithfully observed"
 Other declarations approved were that wages should be reduced only when the possibility of reduction of costs in all other directions has been exhausted that every man Is entitled to an opportunity to earn a living wage, and that wages should be adjusted with due regard to their purchasing power.''
 Fixing of a basis, flor increasing g compensation" was held to be a Sub terfuge that should be condemned.''

(Continued from Page One)

(Continued from Page One) from the chief of police of McKees- port notifying me that no more street meetings will be allowed in that city and that any attempt to disobey the order will be met with the arrest of any persons attempting to speak Our answer is that if we cannot obtain halls to hold meetings in. we will speak in the streets, regardless of the consequences.
 There is going to be a meeting in McKeesport tomorrow. This has been prohibited by the mayor. I tell you we will hold that meeting no matter what happens.
 We have appealed to the depart ment of labor and department of jus tice about conditions in western Penn- sylvania. Nothing has happened. Now we demand a congressional inveStiga- tion to determine why the rights of American citizens are being abridged by the steel trust and its agents. We are doing vital work in Pennsylvania, It affects the future of everyone. If we break the opposition of the steel trust we break the real opposition to orga nizing labor.
 Tn ten months we have organized 1000 workers in the steel industries. Four hundred thousand more want to be organized, but the steel trust is fighting the idea tooth and nail. We do not know what the future has in store for in western Pennsylvania. The steel trust has threatened to break the organizers of the American Federation of Labor. We intend to fight for the right of free speech. We will keep within the law. We are of law-abiding American institution, but if our rights of citizenship are de- nied in Pennsylvania, well-* we will, no matter what happens, in sist upon our rights. That is our answer to the steel trust"
 Fitzpatrick's address was vigorous ly cheered by the convention.
 The convention also adopted a re- solution that the executive council in vestigating the labor situation in Por- to Rica and give such assistance as possible to 15,0O0 employees of the American Tobacco Company, mostly women who have been locked out" A cablegram from organizers in Por- to Rico said that the workers, would starve to death before surrendering to the tobacco trust.'

Germans Endeavoring To Save Ex-Kaiser
 From Punishment
(Contnued from Page One)

A Berlin despatch dated late Fri day. however. declared that the gov ernment at that hour had announced itself unable at present to pick a new cabinet and had decided to postpone the attempt for IS hours.
 The advises seem to indicate that President Ebert will retain office. at least for the time being. Matthias ErzberEer, head of German armistice commission. seems sure of a place in the government, probably as minis ter of reconstruction and fulhllment of the treaty." and he is pointed to as the likely head of the new German peace delegation. Other names than Herr Mueller's mentioned for the premiership, are those of Gustav Noske. the minister of defense and pr. Eduard David, former president of the national assembly.
 It seems probable that the minis terial crisis caused by the necessity of quickly deciding upon the signing of the Allied peace terms will result in a request from Germany for an ex- tension of time beyond Monday for reaching a final decision. Dispatches from Paris would appear to indicate that under these circumstances such a request would favorably be received.
 Francesca Nitti, former Italian minister of finance, who resigned from the cabinet last January because of a disagreement with Premier Or lando over the lattcr's foreign policy has been asked to form the next Ital- ian cabinet, 1t is semi an nounced.
 Signor .NSitti is supposed to favor a compromise with the Jugo-Slavs in reference to conflicting claims to territory in eastern coast of the Adratic. During the last year of the war he was looked upon with some concern by France, it was reported at the time. because of his intimations that Italy might be forced to with draw from the war by reason of the failure of the Allies to come to her assfatance.

As soon as they become grown up" and reach the age of twelve or thirteen, they seem to think it is not proper to play any more.
