WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Although
the international labor conference,
creature Of the Paris peace conference
and the league Of nations, and designed
to direct world opinion to working con-
ditions and wage standards everywhere,
is scheduled to meet in Washington
October 20, unless Congress hastens
action, the United States may find it.
self in the position of becoming host
to conference delegates without power
to participate in their deliberations
or approve their conclusions.
More than two months ago the Sem
ate passed resolution authorizing the
President to invite the countries of the
world, other than the Central Powers,
to send delegates and advisers to the
conference, but refused to give official
sanction to American participation.
Since then invitations were sent out
to all the countries expected to send
epresentatives and many of them
have accepted and the delegates with
their retinues of advisers are on the
way from many points.
Formal authority to put the United
States officially in the conference was
not given because of unwilingness of
majority members in tho Senate to ap-
prove anything which favored Of Civ
ing the United States membership on
any commission or convention which
resulted from the league Of nations
and the peace treaty.
This position apparently has not
changed, although the Fall amendments
to the league covenant, which would
States participating in many such Rc-
tivities, were beaten decisively in the
Senate. There has been a feeling,
however, among opponents Of the
league that the international confer
ence would result in an Endorsement
Of that league which might be used to
help put the covenant through the
Senate.
Work OF arranging for the confer-
ence, however, has gone ahead The
Pan American Union Building here will
be used for it's sessions, and accommo o.
datons for hundreds of visitors have
been obtained
Within the last few days a request
has been made of the House Appropria-
tions Committee for $500 900 tosdefray
the expenses of the conference. An eff
fort to put the United States upon an
official status as participant may never
get through the Senate, but this is
probably not to be looked for, and an
appropriation to take care Of the ma
tion's guests undoubtedly will be voted
The nations which have so far ac-
cepted invitations to send delegates in
n fr.1
Siam, Portugal, Sweden, San Salvador,
Switzerland, Spain, Honduras, Italy,
Bolivia, Belgium, Japan, China, Den
mark, France, Great Britain, Greece,
Holland, Nicaragua, Norway, Guate-
mala, Panama, Persia and Peru.
The conference is limited to a few
subjects of discussion, which, include
the eight-hour day, working conditions
for women and children and standards
of wages. It's action can be little more
than persuasive on the nations that are
| interested

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-While nu-
merous resolutions are in course Of
preparation to be submitted to the
National Industrial Conference when it
resumes sessions on Tuesday, the
issues which will determine the useful
ness of the conference are already in.
Whether the conference can survive to
undertake action on issues yet to be
presented in all probability depends
upon the manner in which it deter
mines the issues now confronting it..
While conferrees to-day continue in
the hope that the steel strike resolu-
tion will be handled in a manner salts
factory to all sides, it is freely admit
ted that there are consequences Of the
gravest nature involved in an unsatis-
factory outcome.
The general committee of fifteen
meets on Monday, and will have its
decision ready when the conference
meets Tuesday morning. Should the
decision on the steel resolution be un-
satisfactory to the labor group it would
undoubtedly put the present optimistic
feeling in the conference to severe
test. This of itself might not endan-
ger the life Of the conference, but it
would almost surely impair its useful
ness to an alarming degree. This is
the view Of a great many members Of
the conference outside the labor group.

LONDON, Oct. II. - Dutch dele
gates to the International Labor Con-
ference to be held in Washington soon
are discussing details Of the meeting
with a representative Of the German
government, according to a Central
News despatch from Amsterdam.
1t is stated that the Dutch repre-

full rights being accorded the German
and Austrian delegations, and if this is
denied, they will appeal to countries
represented ut the conference to con-
woke an international trades union con-
grcss in opposition to the conference.

it is "impossible for Germany to sub

republics may decide for themselves

mancntly helpful II the delegates do
not think In terms of common good
and public welfare"
1.-The public he said, "will have little
patience in seeing its interests sub
ordinated and it's production held in
allegiance while either employer or en-
ploye perfects machinery or systems
for selfish protection or exploitation:
If the spirit Is wrong, no amount OF
machinery can be created to adequate
ly serve public welfare for the neces-
sity and convenience; II the spirit Is
right, the machinery already IN exist
cnce can continually be perfected.
Labor cannot escape the responsible
ity for much of the increase in living
costs from SO per cent in March to 128
per cent in. September. The effects of
currency imitation and Of export busi-
ness had largely spent themselves by
March and cannot properly be counted
as factors in the increase in living
costs from March to September.
Puts Blame on Labor
"The lack of production Is the ma
jor cause, and this has resulted in the
main because labor has ceased to pro-
duce and has brought It's economic
power to bear on the solution of what
it holds to, be a more equitable divi-
sion Of the wealth already extant
While we are quarrelling we are con-
suming, and soon the monkey Of con-
tention will have consumed the cheese,
and if at last we agree on an equitable
division we will find there no cheese
to divide. Every one in his senses
realizes that we should be creating new
wealth rather than concerning our
selves with divisions Of wealth already
created Whether such division be
made through barter, speculation or
wage adjustments, still it is dividing
and not creating.
Public welfare clamors for in
creased production at once; Industrial
welfare demands permanent policy of
bargaining, so that the minimum. of
uncertainty as to future production
costs can be had.
Decries Selfish Attitude
"The conference cannot be a sue
cess unless every act is based on con-
sideration Of the public interest and
industrial stability. The conference
cannot be success If one side or
the other attends with the idea Of
getting something for itself rather
than contributing something to the
common interests and public welfare
The pugilist attitude demanding this
that, or the other, and threatening to
back up the demand with tie-ups
disorders, or revolution, leads only to
