BIG CONFERENCE is HELD
Representatives of the Public, Capital
and Labor Meet For Solution of
Big Problems.

Washington Capital, labor and the
public are sitting in a conference
called by President Wilson to consider
Industrial problems arising out Of re-
construction.
A basis of cooperation between the
three great elements in the life Of the
nation, which will go far toward elimt
rating strikes and other social unrest,
is hoped for as a result of the deliber-
atoms.
This conference was called on Sept.
9 by President Wilson after his own
survey of the situation convinced him
that the issues raised by labor and
capital alike, by the excessive cost of
living and the wastage of war were
too complex to be faced successfully
by individual minds or by individual
organizations. He felt that the COM
bined judgment, as he put it, of rep
resentatives Of all elements was neces'
sary to fix industrial relationships.

SAYS HE WILL BURN FIUME
Gabrielle D'Annunzio Declares He and
Followers Will Fire City and
Die in Ruins.

Fiume.-Gabriele D'Apnunzio, who
stirred all Italy, told the Universal
Service correspondent that he and his
army of 10000 men will burn Fiume
and die in the ruins, rather than &C.
cept any settlement unless the entire
city, port, railways and surrounding
territory are awarded to Italy.
Looking from the windows of the
governors palace, where D'Annunzio
received me, one could see lying in the
harbor more than 20 Italian Torpedo
boats, composing the poets fleet The
palace was thronged with young and
enthusiastic officers, members of his
general staff. The people OF Fiume
were attending to their ordinary bust
ness. but the streets were filled with
troops, infantry, artillery and machine
gun battalione.

STEEL STRIKE At
SERIOUS STAGE
MARTIAL LAW DECLARDED IN IN
DIANA CITIES BY MAJOR
GENERAL WOOD.
FORMER SOLDIERS ACTIVE
Staging Of Unauthorized Parade 10
Given AS Reason For Calling On
Military-ciVilians Must Not
Wear Soldiers Uniforms.

Chicago. Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood,
commander of the central department
of the United States army, took charge
Of the Indiana steels cities of Gary,
Indiana Harbor and East Chicago, with
1000 overseas veterans Of the Fourth
division, armed with cannon, machine
guns and rifles, and declared martial
law in Gary, while Adjutant General
Smith, with l 1000 state troops, declared
martial law in the other two steel CEN
tiers. No soldier uniforms may be
worn in Gary by civilians under the
generals order.
No disorders preceded the action Of
the military, but the troop movements
were brought about by a parade with
out permit of 1000 strikers from the
steel mills in Gary, led by large num-
Der of former soldiers in uniform and
a mass meeting in Gary park, where
speakers demanded the release of
strikers after a riot and the with
drawal of troops sent by Gov. Goodrich
Of Indiana, at the request of city Of
ficers.
This was the first action by federal
troops since the steel strike started
on September o. 1t came unexpected
ly, as there had been comparatively
little disorder in any of the cities, but
the movement was rapid. No sooner
had Mayor Hodges Of Gary asked Gov.
Goodrich for troops after the mass
meeting had been held in violation OF
his orders, and in defiance OF the 800
state troops on duty in Gary, than the
governor repeated the request to Gen.
Wood at Chicago. In five hours the
regulars at Fort Sheridan had been
loaded in trucks and transported 80
miles to Gary. They had barely I'M
limbered themselves from the long
ride before Gen. Wood issued his or
der for martial law.
The order provided that no public
meetings or assemblies might be held
"in any street, park or other portion
of the city" However, it specifically
exempted from this provision theaters,
churches, motion picture houses and
lecture rooms.
The order set forth that all men in
the uniform of the United States army
in this city would be brought to mill
tary headquarters If investigation
developed that a particular man was
"a part of the armed forces of the ma
tion," the order added, he would bo
placed under the command of the mil
itary authorities in the city for duty
II, however, the man was out Of the
service, the order stated, he would be
held pending further investigation"
This latter provision was taken to
mean that discharged soldiers wear.
ing their army uniforms In this city
would be held in custody.

10 Demanded BY Major-Gen.
eral Graves.

Vladivostok. - Maj. Gen. William
S. Graves, commander of American
forces in Siberia, has demanded an
apology from Gen. Rozanoff, in com
mand Of Russian troops in Priamur
province, for the arrest of Capt. L. P.
Johns of the Twenty-seventh Regi-
ment and Corporal Benjamin Sperling
of the Thirty-first, and the flogging
of the latter by Cossacks commanded

RATES ARE NOT
TO Be INCREASED
DIRECTOR GENERAL or RAIL,
WAYS WRITES TO CHAIRMAN
OF EXECUTIVES.
SITUATION IS EXPLAINED
Says There should Be No ReadIust-
ment of Rates Without submis-
sion of Question to Com
merce Commission.

Washington.-Th railroad admins
tration will make no increase in freight
rates before return of the railroads
to private operation Jan. l. Director
General Hines wrote T. Dewitt Guy
ler chairman of the railways execu-
tives that it would be impossible for
the government to establish any gen
eral readjustment Of rates." because
earnings of the roads under abnormal
conditions prevailing in the early part
of this year did not afford fair test
of income.
The manifest desire of the public
to have the Interstate Commerce
Commission exercise full authority in
any readjustment of rates to be eff
fectiye under private control also was
cited by the director general as an
objection to the railroad administra-
TONS undertaking such readjust-
ment.
my view" wrote the director gen.
eral, "has been and is that this i'm
portant matter must be handled in
accordance with the two following
considerations. First, the question Of
an increase in rates could not prop
erly be considered OH the exclusive
basis Of the unfavorable showing
which the railroad administration
was making in the early part of this
year, because that showing was yeyy
largely due to an abnormally small
freight business, so that the results
of that period could not fairly be
taken as a test for making increases
in rates. Necessarily, therefore, it
seemed to me that the formulation
of any proposal for a general increase
in rates would have to await better
opportunity for making an estimate
as to what the earning capacity would
be under normal conditions. have
been increasingly confirmed in this
opinion by the variable developments
which have taken place.
"Second-It has seemed to me that
the public would not be satisfied I'M
der existing conditions to have any
general increase in rates put into ef
feet without the concurrence of the
Interstate Commerce Commission. The
public sentiment to this effect has
been manifested in many ways
throughout the year and has been EN-
phasized by the passage by two
houses of congress of two bills pro
viding that there shall be an oppor-
tunity to review any rates proposed
by the railroad administration before
those rates shall go into effect. 1t
follows, therefore that time and OPP
portunity must be provided for public
making authority Of any rate propos.

OFFICERS TO RETAIN RANK
Rear Admiral Sims, Benson and Mayo
viii Not Lose Titles Acquired
During the War.

Washington.-Permanent rank of
vice admiral for Rear Admirals Sims,
Benson and Mayo is proposed in a
compromise bill ordered favorably re-
ported by the senate naval commit
tee. President Wilson had recon-,
mended the rank of full admiral for
Sims and Benson and this was pro
vided for in the measure as it passed
the house.
The Senate compromise resulted
from opposition to giving the rank
of admiral to Admiral Benson, form
err chief of naval operations, and also
to insistent demand that equal recog-
milton be accorded Admiral Mayo who
commanded the Atlantic fleet during
the war.

REMEDIES FOR
LABOR TROUBLES
PROPOSITIONS TO CONFERENCE
FOR INDUSTRIAL TRUCE AND
ARBITRATION BOARD PLAN.
GOmPERs SPRINGS SURPRISE
Suggests Arbitration Of steel Strike.
Committee Is Appointed To In
vestlsate the High Cost Of
Living.

Northumberland proposals de-
signed to bring about better relations
between employers and employed were
laid before the national industrial con-
ferences by members of the various
groups making up the gathering. The
proposals included:
Arbitration of the nationwide steel
strike with return of the men to work
pending settlement; an industrial
truce starting Immediately and con-
tinuing three months; creation of an
arbitration board by the president and
congress and including among its
members all ex-presidents; and COM
pTehensive plan for adjudication of in
dustrial disputes through boards of
arbitration in the various industries.
The conference also took its first
concrete action in adopting motion,
offered by Thomas L. Chadbourne, a
representative of the public, providing
that a committee consisting of three
members from each of the group Of en-
ployers, labor and the public, be APP
pointed to investigate the high cost of
living.
The proposal for the settlement Of
the steel strike, introduced by Sam
uel GomperS president Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, and one of
the delegates, soon after the confer
ence met, came as surprise to the
groups representing the public and
the employers. In offering the pro
posal, Mr.. Gompers explained that it
had the support of the labor delegates
including the representatives of the
railroad brotherhoods. The proposal
like all'others submitted under the con-
ference rules, was referred to the gen.
eral committee composed of five repre-
sentatiYes of each group. 1t generally
was believed that the proposal would
be in the hands of this committee for
some time.
AS chairman of the public group,
Bernard Baruch introduced the propo-
sal for an industrial peace, formulated
by A. A. Landon of Buffalo, and
the plan that a national board of con-
ciliation and arbitration be created
which was put forward by Favin Nc
Nab of San Francisco, In offering the
proposals, Mr. Baruch explained that
he was merely acting for his group
and that under the conference rules
the Introduction of the proposals did
not indicate either that the proposals
set forth the chairman's views or that
they had the Endorsement of the group.
The proposal for adjustment of
tabor disputes through joint boards
of employers and workers in each in
dustry with appeal to general boards
appointed by the president and final
appeal to an umpire also came from
the public group 1t was drafted by
Secretary of Labor Wilson and was
understood to have been Endorsed by
President Wilson.

of United States.

Tokyo.-Orders have been issued by
Gen. Oh, commanding the Japanese
forces in Eastern Siberia, directing his
men to cooperate effectively with the
American authorities in the operation
Of the Trans-Siberian railroad. This is
a result of strong representations made
by the United States to the Japanese
government claiming that in sections
guarded by Japanese troops the lives
and property Of Americans have not
been adequately protected.
