POST MORTEM
UPON RECENT
IN DUS TRIAL
CONFERENCE

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Leading
members of the three industrial groups
which formed the Labor Conference,
have made public statement given out
in interviews, as follows:
Samuel Gompers: eff employer1
cannot agree as group to a declaration
that workers have a right to organize
without discrimination, it is worse than
useless to sit in a conference with such
men. 1 have said time and again that
have always been willing to meet with
men, even with men who have been
enemies and opponents, with free and
open discussion some have changed
their minds, modified their views, and
enabled adjournment of radical diff
ferences.
1--WE have withdrawn until ccndi.
tions are changed. That ends it so fal
as we are concerned. We are not Jump,
ing jacks. We are not only men re-
sponsible as citizens, but responsible fol
millions of workers.
Chairman Harry Wheeler, of the elm
plOyers' group, said: "The conference
has shown two things clearly; first it
has been proved cOnclusively that tC
succeed a conference of this kind must
start with intelligent preparations in
advance; second, it seems to me that
the principle of collective bargaining
will come to be more generally applied
in relations between individual EN-
ployers and their workers, as a result
of this conference
Paul Feiss, member of the public
group, said: "The conference has
brought before the country one signif
cant fast. To my mind that is the fact
that organized labor stands firmly
against the shop union. 1t seems to me
that organized labor is badly affected
with ultra conserviom. 1t is not up tc
date; it has not developed with the
times. Labor leaders are still fighting
their battles as they did fifty years
ago."

LONDON, October 23.-A sensation
was sprung in the British Parliament
this afternoon when the government
was unexpectedly defeated on an amend
ment to the proposed alien bill.
Mr.. Andrew Bonar Law, a member
of the cabinet, the leader for the gov
ernment, moved Immediately for ad-
journment until Monday, for the gov
|ernment to consider its position, which
motion carried, and adjournment was
taken.
Under the European system defeat of
the government on a vote in parliament
is usually forerunner of an overthrow
Iof the existing ministry. LloydGeorge
or any other premier-can hold his
premiership only so long as he holds a
majority of the House of Commons.

parliamentary situation as has arisen
