Washington, Oct. % Labor withdrew
from the national Industrial conference

a majority Of the capital group

the public and capital announced their
intention of remaining I'm the conference.
the next move in the effort to restore in
dustrial peace to the country evidently
rested with President Wilson.

what cource Mr.. Wilson would take.

Withdrawal of the labor group was an
nounced by Samuel Gompers. president
of the American Federation of Labor.
after a dramatic speech. 1t came only a
few hours after Secretary Lane in an
effort to prevent what many from almost
the first had regarded as the inevitable,
read a letter in which President Wilson,
debating from his sick bed. appealed for
/ harmony in the conference and for the
! final working out of a program of in
/ dustrial peace
| Representative Of labor did not join

and Mr.. Gompers characterized AZ most
unfortunate" a motion by John Spargo
| of the pubic group that each group
/ pledge the President 1t would make every
effort to accomplish the work for which
the conference was called. The motion
was withdrawn and the conference re-
cessed so the labor group could meet
to determine It's future course.
LABOR RESOLUTION LOST
| When the conference convened in the
afternoon the labor group proposed the
following resolution:
Resolved: The right of wage earners
to organize without discrimination. to
bargain collectively, to be represented by
| representatives of their own choosing In
negotiations and adjustments with en-
ployers In respect to wages. hours OF
labor. and relations and conditions of en-
ployment is recognized"
| Under suspension Of the rules the
| resolution Immediately was brought to
discussion and vote, the labor and public
groups uniting in its support on the roll
call. The majority against the resolu-
tion in the capital group was one vote.
but under the conference rules this ma
jority was sufficient to defeat the resolu-
tion.
With the announcement of the result
! Mr.. Gompers told the conference the
resolution had been rejected without
right or reason. rejected on grounds SO
flimsy that the men sitting in the em-
ployers group will have difficulty In ex-
planning their action to their fellows In

JOHN G. EDWARDS,
Loss of Appetite.

AS a general rule there is nothing
serious about loss of appetite, and
if you skip a meal or only eat two
meals day for a few days you will
soon have a relish for your meals
when meal time CONS. Bear in mind
that at least five hours should always
elapse between meals so as to give
the food ample time to digest and
the stomach a period of rest before
second meal is taken. Then if you
eat no more than you crave and take
a reasonable amount of outdoor ex-
ercise every day, you will not need
to worry about your appetite. When
the loss of appetite is caused by con-
stipation as is often the case, that
should be corrected at once. A dose
of Chamberlain's Tablets will do it.

Recommend Sale of Hoarded
Food.

Washington, July 25.-Immediate
sale of the S12O,OOO,OOO surplus
stock of foodstuffs held by the war
department under plan which will
ensure opportunity for tn people
of the United States to buy" was rec
commended to-day by the ten republi-
can members of the house war inves-
tigating committee. The five demo-
cratic committeeman withheld de-
cision, pending a review of evidence
taken by subcommittee.
"The inactivity of the government
in the indisposition of these food sup
plies was, and is, the result of well
defined policy of the secretary of
war to withhold them from the domes
tic market and to protect the inter-
ests from which these products had
been purchased" said the subcom-
mittee, report drafted by Represen-
tative Reavis, Nebraska and Mac
Gregor, New York, republicans.
Chairman Graham, of the full COM
mittee, was instructed to ask for a
special rule on a resolution calling
upon the war department to sell the
goods. Efforts will be made TO bring
the resolutions before the house next
Monday, Graham announced.
The report criticised on what it de-
clared the departments "non-activ-
tiles of food supplies now held in
storage" and asserted that six months
elapsed before any surplus stock was
declared while Sin the meantime the
food was deteriorating and becoming
of less value and the high cost of liv-
ing continued"
The report also expressed "the SUBJ
committees disfavor of a policy of
export" and recommended that
"plans be devised by the secretary of
war through the war department for
the early disposition of all surplus
fod production on the domestic mar
ket."
The report estimated that on July
g, last, the value of surplus food
stored in the United State over and
above the needs of the army was as
follows:
Corn beef, s24,OoO,ooo; bacon,
s23, 100000; hash corn beef, 100000
900; roast beef, s2o,OoO,Ooo; fresh
frozen meats and poultry, S20,000,-
1000; canned vegetables, $23, 1000.
