DEADLOCK is
FACED IN CAPITAL
CONFERENCE NEAR DlSSOLU-
TON IN THE FIGHT OVER
LAEOR ISSUES.
As ENJOYS Fail to Agree on Bargain
Dispute-Comnittee Session Is
Without Results.

Washington. Of the dlfll-
culties seriously threatening the Ire
of the national industrial conference
appeared to be more hopeless thlh
before after the conferences Central
Committee, in three-hour session
failed to conciliate the differences ne
tween the labor and employer wings
The tentative agreement reached on
the vital question of collective bargain
ing was shattered at the committee
meeting when the employers group IN
sisted on adding to the substitute resO-
luton a clause declaring for the right
of employees and employers TO bargain
individually. This clause was rejected
unqualifiedly by labor delegates. Pre-
vious 10 the Introduction Of the m
diyidual bargaining clause an appar-
ent solution of the problem before the
conference had been reached.
The original Russell=EndicOtt reso-
luton providing for recognition OF the
fight to collective bargaining and the
right of employees to choose their rep
resentatives at will was revamped, dl-
vided into four sections and amended
to read: "The right to organize into
trade and labor unions, shop and other
industrial associations" Section grant
ing to labor organizations the right to
choose representatives without re-
striction was amended to read: by
Representatives chosen by majority
of their own members" The cOmpro-
mise measure, as amended, met with
the approval of labor and public
groups and certain members of the en-
ployers' wing when brought before the
committee. Later, however, the EN-
ployers insisted on the addition OF a
fifth section, the individual bargaining
clause, which was vetoed promptly by
the labor group. This left the Central
committee deadlOcked, as it was when
the conference adjourned.

Washington, D. C.-Attorney- Gen
eral A. Mitchell Palmer and his Off

aid of the women of America. by
appealing to the comptrollers OF house
hold finances throughout the country
it is hoped to inaugurate an epoch OF
real economy which will offset the

cles. Furthermore, an attempt VIII
be made to discourage the frequent
changes in styles dictated by the max
ers of women's apparel and thereby
effect saving in clothes.
Another important decision taken
al this meeting was to release more
surplus supplies retained by the Gov
eminent, if it can be done without
embarrassment to the department IN
yolyed. Newton d. Baker, Secretary
of War; JoSephus Daniels, Secretary
of the Navy, and John Barton Payne,
Chairman of the Shipping Board, were
invited 10 the conference FOR the 1lrst
time IOF THAT pupOSc,
Mr.. Baker having been unable to at
tend, the Attorney General and MI
Daniels will confer with him shortly.
Mr.. Daniels reported that he had SUI
gar enough to supply the navy six
months, but before he released any or
it desired to be assured Of ample re-
placements. Indicative of the broad
scope which Mr.. Palmer efforts are
taking was the request of Chairman
Payne to release any surplus building
materials which he has on hand, espe-
cially lumber needed for home build
ing. The Shipping Board, it was learn
ed, probably will need, however, all OF
the supplies which it has purchased

ment the full resources of the Con
sumers' League and the League OF

move the imitation from prices.
AS a result speakers will be placed
soon in every state to carry the mes
sage that one way to get at the
profiteers is to ignore propaganda
saying that prices are certain to go
higher and wait for the decline which
officials say is inevitable. These speak
ers will be armed with facts and tig-
ures gathered by the Council of Ma

"high cost of living was due largely to

The bank statement said that the War
Department sold in France $1,75O,OO0,-
900 worth of supplies, almost all OF
which lis essential to our present-day
needs" for $4OO000,0O0. The list, 1t
was declared, included 22,OOO,0OO
pounds of sugar. Secretary Baker said
he did not know how much sugar was
sold, but added: 1.-The sales were made
by the Liquidating Commission, which
was appointed by me with the consent
and approval of President Wilson.
Judge Edwin Parker was chairman.
Former Senator Hollis was another
member, as was II. H. Johnson and
General Pershing appointed General
Dawes as n member. The material
sold was a miscellaneous assortment
of removable and nOnremovable prop
