THREE WOMAN DELEGATES
TO REPRESENT "PUBLIC"
Vice President Marshall and Sec
retary Lane Logical Choices to
Preside at Sessions.

There has prevailed an understand. .. .
ing that. because Of the disability OF
the Department of Labor would pre-
side over the sessions of the con-
ference; but it developed today that I
this program lacks the approval OF
many persons who are anxious tnat
nothing should be done that possibly
could be construed as indicating that
the conference is to be in any way
biased or one-sided-
There is no more reason, they con-
tend, why the Secretary of Labor
should preside than there Is for piac-
ing the gavel in the hands OF the
Secretary of Commerce or the Secre-
tary Of Agriculture. and they express
fear that should the position be as
sumed by Secretary Wilson other in
terests might be prejudiced.
Logical to Preside at Table.
Suggestions were made today that
as the President in person will not be
able to preside at the opening session
and launch the most important peace
meeting in the history Of American
industry, his place properly should De
taken by the Vice President as tenn
porary chairman. Should 1t develop
Marshall can be present. Secretary
Lane of the Interior Department. it
is pointed out, would be satisfactory
to all elements in the conference.
The last delegate named for the
was received at the De-
partment of Labor at noon today. He
is Leonor F. Loree of New York. a
nier member of the National war La
hor. Board. and the dfth member Of
the delegation selected by the Na-
tiepal Industrial Conference Boards

Calf.
Railroad executives were given
in the appointment of
Carl Gray. president. of the Western
and r. H. Ashton, north
regional director.
Dean Edwin Gay of the Harvard
School of Business Administration
cabled from Europe yesterday he
could not possibly attend any part Of
the conference and suggested Henry
s. Dennison Of Framingham. Mass,
as substitute. Therefore. Mr.. Den
nison was named and notified by tele-
gram Of his appointment.
The appointment of the three
was not made until last night
Labor Department officials said TODAY
President Wilson had intended max
ing these appointments for some time,
but that pressure of work on the tour
and his illness prevented his giving
industrial conference details further
All arrangements be-
tween the Labor Department and the
the President by mis- secretary, Mr..
Tumulty.
