Omaha, May 81. To the Editor of
the Bee: Your editorial in Mon

prominence was given to one
branch of a critical body of Jealous
workers in the wrong direction. who
recently issued pamphlet giving
an immunity bath" to the packers
on account of their patriotism. to-
gether with the modern paradise
they supplied their employees to
work in. According to the report
of the public welfare investigator.
the workers are so blissful in the
packing houses, shall quote para

welfare board published. I'm pass
ing heard a workman singing. I
told him that sounded good and
made me happy, too. and wished
Sinclair, who wrote the awful jungle
book, could have heard that real
jingle"
Your questions are right when you
ask, where was the welfare board
while this propaganda Of immoral
ity was in full blast?" Where were
the juvenile officers while the little
tots were getting their first lessons
in gambling and other vices? Pub
licity is a great weapon to use on
these boards and benevolent uplift-
ers who are never visible in the time
Of need. I would suggest an indig-
nation meeting to discuss the actions
Of our city and equity officials and
their numerous appointees and sat

Opposed to League Of Nations.
Omaha, May 81. To the Editor of
the Bee: What little time l get to
read up on the subject of the league
of nations, the more l am opposed
to it.
It makes no difference to me II
ex-President Taft does favor it and
even if he does get down on his
knees and worship at the Wilson
shrine. This nation grew great and
powerful for more than 40 years
without the aid of any other ma
ton, and in face of opposition of
practically the whole world. In that
time we have never feddled in the
affairs Of other nations, nor have we
allowed other nations to NEEDLE in
our national affairs. until the Wilson
administration allowed Great Britain
to dictate to us what we should do
about our own Panama canal. Had
Andrew Jackson, General Grant,
Grover Cleveland or Roosevelt been
president when England tried to die
tate as to our Panama canal, they
would have sternly resetned any
such interference in our home af-
fairs. England would not allow any
other nation to dictate terms to her
as to the Suez canal nor should she
have had any say about our own
canal. We do not want to belong
to any league Of nations for we do
OF need to be in any such combina-
ton Of nations of far differet as
pirations, character and races.
The league of nations is bound to-
gether with a rope Of sand and it

CAPITAL And LABOR
CALLED TOGETHER
President Wilson Is TO Call Confer.
ence of Capital and Labor
at Washington.

Washington, September /. - An
nouncement by President Wilson of
the date on which he will a con-
ference of representatives of capital
and labor for complete discussion of
relations between the two and put
ting the whole question of wages upon
another footing" is expected before
the departure of the president on his
trans-continental tour Wednesday.
The date, It was believed today, will
be set for soon after the presidents
return-probably early in October.
While the initial announcement of
the president, made in his Labor Day
statement, did not go SO lar as some
advocates of the "round table" con-
ference idea desired, it generally was
accepted as the first step toward work
ing out solution of the tangled eco
nomic and Industrial conditions.
Basil M. Manly, joint chairman of
the War Labor Board, with William
II. Taft, who first advanced the "round
table" plan, declared today he had
strong hopes that the conference to
be called by the president will rest 1t
in substantial agreements being reach
ed, not only on the direct relations be-
tween capital and labor, but upon
practical means of combating the high
cost of living"
