HOOVER TO Head
new LABOR BODY
Second Conference for Har-
mOnlzing Labor in u. S.
Begins Sessions.

BY Associated Press:
WASHINGTON Dec. Under
the permanent chairmanship Of Sec.
of Labor Wilson. another attempt
TO harmonic relations between cap
ital and labor was begun Monday
with the opening OF the second in
dustrial conference called by Pres'i
Wilson. Herbert Hoover was elect
ed permanent vice chairman and
Stanley King. OF Boston, temporary
secretary until an executive secre-
tary not a delegate. could be OBJ
tanned.
Secret Sessions.
Unlike its predecessor. the second
conference began behind closed
doors after newspapermen present
had been asked to leave. Speaking
for the conference when the first
meeting adjourned after more than
three hours OF discussion, Mr. King
said that executive sessions would be
continued 'for the present" and that
the question of opening the doors
had not yet come before the dele
gates. several of whom are under
stood to favor the utmost publicity
on deliberations which may affect
vitality the entire country.
Sec'y Wilson explained before he
called the delegates TO order that
he believed executive sessions advis-
able 10 permit frank discussion
while allowing the delegates to keep
their minds open until a decision
was reached. He declared their ideas
should not be chained to first ex-
pressions OF opinion before hearing
what other delegates had TO say.
One Member Absent.
In opening the conference Mr..
Wilson recited the general situation.
which required new deliberations by
delegates, all OF whom have been
identified with either side in indus
trial controversies of the past. All
Of the Il members except George T.
Slade, OF st. Paul who is in Europe,
were present. The general field OF
activities to he covered and the best
methods Of dealing with each sub
ject were discussed without a de-
cision being reached. The cost Of
living. collective bargaining and the
other problems OF the day entered
into the talk.
None of the delegates would ven
ture an Opininon as TO when the
conference would finish its task.
though several commented that
Pres't Wilson had assigned them a
very broad field.

AGAIN POSTPONE
PLATOON SYSTEM
City Officials Say Town Can
not Afford to Pay the In
creased Expense.

Lack Of funds was the reason
given by the common council at the
meeting of the committee of the
whole Monday night as its reason
for not acting favorably upon the
resolution providing for the two
platoon system for the loCRl fire de-
partment. Members of the board Of
safety. the city comptroller and a
committee from the fire department
were present. The committee called
upon City Comptroller ]. Swygart
for his report, which stated that al
present the city did not have suffi-
cient funds to meet the increased
payroll which would be caused by
the adoption of the resolution.
Mr.. Swygart stated, however, that
his report was given from a rough
estimate and he would gladly try
and find a way whereby the funds
might be secured. The majority OF
the committee seemed in favor OF
the resolution providing a way could
be found TO finance the proposition
and they would put forth an effort
towards finding a way for meeting
the obligation. The petition pre-
seuted by the firemen was undoubt-
edly the largest ever presented to a
council in South Bend. 1t bore the
names Of all the leading business
men and manufacturers of the
city and ii seems that the citizens
are more anxious for the passing OF
the resolution than the firemen.
Eighteen Men Needed.
The report by the committee OF
the firemen showed that il would
be necessary to employ only Is
more men instead Of 25 men, as the
original report called for. With the
new system in operation all theater
duty would be cared for by the men
working the "off shift" and that the
surplus men would be available for
duty should the occasion arise. Be
ing unable to make a great deal of
headway in view of the fact that the
city's funds at present were not suf-
ficent TO meet the employment of is
more firemen, the committee de-
cided TO hold the resolution over foT
two weeks
Gen. Mgr. r. r. Smith, OF the
street railway company. was presen mt
at the meeting and heard the com
plants Offered by the cOuncilme mer
relative TO the poor car service. Two
school teachers were also present
and complained Of the service or
the Washington st. line. Mr.. Smith
kept a record of the complaints and
stated that he would put forth ev-
cry possible effort TO remedy them
They were made principally on the
Miami and washington st. car lines
The resolution providing for the
transfer OF $500 TO the police pay
roll received a favorable report
from the committee. At the ad-
journment OF the committee il was
announced that the meeting was
open 10 the public

SILK Market Quiet, but Steady.

The local raw silk market is quiet but
steady and prices are holding their
ground. H. l.. Cavalier & Co. report
Manufacturers appear fairly well covered
for immediate needs, and are watching
developments of the labor situation. The
demand for silk fabrics Of all kinds con-
tinues at record rate and far exceeds the
capacity OF the mills throughout the
country
Advices from italy report the Milan
market very firm and advancing, with
extra classical Italian quoted at ass
lire. The Lyons market is steadily i'm
proving.
The Yokohama market has recovered
from the drop TO 2,240 yen at the end
of last week and the latest cablegrams
report prices firm at 1890 yen for Kan
sal No. l and 2,270 yen for Sinshui No
l. with IA moderate business doing for
American account. Shipments for July
show $4,000 bales to America, against
2O,606 bales last year and 500 bales for
Europe against sac bales. Stocks on
hand amount to $4,000 bales. compared
with $4,000 bales a year ago.
The Canton market continues firm at
unchanged prices, and rselers who have
sold ahead considerable part of their
production are unwilling TO grant con-
cessions. Shanghai is strong for all
grades of silk. Steam failures are
booked for the bulk of their production
for the next four months and have very
little to offer in good grades Tsatlees
are higher and the supply is short of
last years. Tussah raws are mostly sold
out and very little Is left available until
the new crop, which is still several
months off.
