The employers want to go on.
Chairman Lane wants the confer
ence to continue. Irrespective OF
whether the procedure or form of
meeting is changed, the discussion
will go on. For the influence and
impulse of the president and the
government itself is behind that
wish. A coal strike is impending.
A steel strike drags on. The rail-

mands. The Plumb plan stands IN

selfshness of each position was
frequently apparent. Yet the vital
thing is, that out of both positions
the disinterested observer can see
points of equity that can be recon-
ciled the one to the other. The
group system of voting whereby
unanimous agreement of all three
groups in the conference-capital,
labor and the public-was neces-
sary to give any action of the con-
ference validity was deemed to
failure from the moment that votes
were insisted upon for separate
propositions and the conference
mistakably declined to wait until
a complete set Of principles was be-
fore them so that the relation of
the one to the other could be dis
cerned by capital and labor alike.
AS DR.. Charles W. Eliot of Har-
ward said in his speech after the
labor group withdrew, the major
ity of the men in the conference,
that is counting those inside the
employers group who actually ap-
proved labor's declaration on COL
Iective bargaining, would have
been recorded if the voting were by
individuals in favor of the very
principle that caused labor TO bolt.
Both Sides Determined.
OF course, labor was impatient.
1t could be seen in the eyes and
faces of the labor members from
the moment the conference started.
They were in a belligerent frame of
mind They argued in'defense of
that attitude that they had en-
dured many wrongs and had again
and again been asked to postpone
their strike without any further
remedy than more talk. The EN-
ployers were more patient, more
deliberate, more collected, but none
the less steadfast in their point Of
view But they were giving ground
and everybody who attended the
conference knew that inside the
employers group where farmers,
