URGE new MOVE
To SOLVE CRISIS
Public Group Suggests That
Wilson Name Committee
To Work Out a Plan.

The report to the President OF
the public group of the Industrial
Conference. signed by Bernard NJ.
Baruch as chairman. was made pub
lie at the White House late last
night.
The public group recommends
that the President select a small
committee to prepare program
covering the important problems
which the industrial conference un-
dertook to solve, with a view to the
ence of capital, labor and the public.
Favor Wilson Plan.
The report suggests that Secretary
of Labor Wilson's plan for estab-
fishing the machinery for concilia-
tion and arbitration affords a possi-
hIe basis for a solution of the i'm
mediate problem.
The report also declares that the
conference did not reject the general
principal OF collective bargaining.
VIII Have Effect, Says Baruch.
The report was prepared by John
d. Rockefeller, jr., Ward NJ. Burgess,
Thomas d. Jones. John pargo and
Miss Ida NJ. Tarbell.
The outcome of this conference must
be, in my opinion. that there will be
manifest an increasing effort on the
part of employers to see that. not
alone proper wages are paid. but that
the human rights of the workers are
considered. The employer has certain
rights which must be recognized and
protected. Coupled with these rights
is the obligation to see that all of his
employees are accorded Just treatment.

BRITISH CABINET NOT
LIKELY TO RESIGN

London, Oct. 2t-Members of the
Lloyd George cabinet today considered
the situation which has arisen as a
result of yesterdays adverse vote in
the house of commons. when the gov
ernment's amendment to the alien bill
was rejected. 1S to 113.
Because of the fact that only half
of the members were in their seats
when the vote was taken. it is be-
ueved the government will not resign.
but it is possible that Edward Shortt,
home secretary, who was in charge
of the alien bill. may quit office. An
drew Bonar Law. government leader,
secured a delay until Monday for his
colleagues by moving adjournment i'm
mediately after the result of the vote
had been announced. His declaration
that any subsequent action by the
ministry would depend upon the view
of the house of commons as a whole"
may indicate an intention OF the gov
ernment to ask for vote of conf
dence at an early date.

Lieut.. Van Buren criticised the
Department of Justice and the i'm

forcing the laws which would have
made possible the deportation of
radical leaders who were implicated
in the Gary disturbances. He de-
