ILS0N PROMISES FEDERAL GOVT WILL CONSIDER ITSELF SERVANT OF PEOPLE IN
 SOLVING READJUST PROBLEMS
Makes Statement in Vel coming Governors and Mayors to Conference. SEC. WILSON WARNS
 AGAINST SOVIET Business of Government Is to Take Counsel for the
 Average Man.

Washington, March 3-Open- ing the White House confer ence of governors and mayors on peace-time business and labor problems today, Presi- dent Wilson promised that the Federal government would consider itself the servant of the states, municipalities and counties in solving readiust- ment problem, and would per form it's duty guided by sugges- lions of the conference.
 Secretary of Labor Wilson, who presided at the opening session, told the conference that the recent strikes at Seattle, Butte, Lawrence and other places were not industrial economic disputes in their origin, but were re- suits of a deliberate, organized at tempt a social and political move ment to establish Soviet governments in the United States.
 The President said he hoped the conference discussion would assume wide range, including means of re- storing labor conditions to a normal basis as soon as possible, and to eff fecting such fresh auocations of labor and industry as the circumstances may make necessary
 Touching upon the Peace Confer ence, he said the conferees aU Paris regarded themselves only as servants O 9 pie of the world, and not as their masters
 Consequently, said the President, the cOnferees are anxious to keep in close sympathy with the peoples whom they represent, ito find out how we can best assist ia making their lives what they wish them to be by giving them the opportunity that they ought to haYe''
 The President spoke briefly, con- fning himself largely to welcoming the visitors and promising complete federal cooperation. He expIained l that the demands upon his time dur ing the day and a half he could re- main in Washington made it impos- sible for him to participate in the conference.
 The President said:
 T wish that I could promise my self the pleasure and the profit ot taking part in your delibera tions. find that nothing deliberate Is per mitted me since my return. I have been trying under the guidance of my secretary, MT. Tumulty, to do a months work in & week, and I am hoping that not all of 1t has been done badly, but inasmuch as there t2 i a necessary pressure upon my time know that you will excuse me from taking a part in your conference
 much as I should be prof1ted by doing so.
 My pleasant duty is to bid you 9 hearty welcome and to express my l qualification that so many executives | of cities and of states have found ths | time and the inclination to come to. | gether on the very important matter 1 we have to discuss.
 1 The primary duty of caring for 1 our people in the intimate matters | that we want to discuss here, ot | course, falls on the states and upor the municipalities and the function CConunued on Page Two)

Secondly members of the board are wondering Did the so-caIled inspec- tors and supervisors close their eyes on the inferior work done by Tom kins, or were they too incom petent to realize just what this contractor was putting over on the city?" To day, there are indications that the entire matter will simmer down to demand by certain aldermen for an investigation of the methods employ ed by city inspectors and supervisors in going over the early work on the bridge, so imperfecJy done, by De Voc H.

He added, however, that he had gathered certain facts,' which he trusted would be of help to the next congress in dealing with the anthra- cite coal question.

ness momentarily, and said, How did I happen to get into this affair."" A short time before he died the injured man said, What did that fellow hit me for?"
 This is the only information the police have to work upon in solving the mystery. From the few dis jointed sentences spoken by MT Skinner before he died, the police be neye he was struck from behind and without any warning. There was no evidence of his being struck more than once, that blow fracturing the skull and causing death about six hours later.
 Mrs. Skinner told the police that her husband left the house shortly after 6 o'clock to go to a store on Park avenue as was his habit.
