LLOYD-GEORGE "CHAMELON''
Northcliffe Airs This Opin- ion In New Weekly
 Publication.

London, Feb. f2-While the press generally approves of Premier Lloyd Georges labor program, it fails to satisfy the parliamentary labor party, which has prepared an amend ment to the reply to the speech from the throne, regretting the absence of definite proposals dealing with the present cases of industrial unrest and for se- curing, as regards wages and working hours, conditions of labor which will establish a higher standard of life and social well-being for the peo- pie.
 MT. Lloyd Georges proposals also are adversely criticised by the radical section of the press, which regards them as vague and unlikely to be carried out by what is alleged to be a ''reacttonary parliament"

HARD 10 RECONCILE LABOR INTERESTS
Gompers Has Report Ready For Conference When It
 Is Desired.

Paris, Feb. 12-(By the As sOciated Press)-WhiIe Presi- dent Wilson and the Allied premiers and generals are en- grossed in perfecting the plan for the creation of a Society of Nations and arranging the new terms to be imposed upon Ger many for a renewal of the ar mistice, expiring next Monday, other subjects of the greatest importance are being prepared for the consideration of the Peace Conference.
 It is expected that the conference will spend little time discussing them, however, and will pass most of them on to the Society of Nations when the latter has been created and ready to function.
 Foremost on this secondary pro- gram are the recommendations of the commission on international labor legislation. Samuel Gompers, the chairman, has been. pushing work SC that 1t is expected he will have a re- port ready for the conference as soon as 1t is ready to receive it.
 There have been difficulties in re- conciling the diverse views of British and American labor interests, as each is radical in some respects and yet conservative in other. in the opinion of some labor leaders. It Is said that there is no coincidence between their plans. The British are radi- calls where Americans are cautious while the Americans throw conserya- tisrn to the winds when considering matters on which the British are careful.

SPRACUE SAYS
 BUILD NOW''
Labor Authority Addresses Large Gathering at c. of
 c. Luncheon.

Leslie Willis Sprague, member of the United States Department of Labor, and for the past Is years known as leading platform speaker, addressed the Chamber of Commerce members this noon at their luncheon held in the ball room of The Strat- field. MT. Sprague spoke on Re construction" and the necessity of providing work for the idle industrial workers. He advocates the erection of municipal buildings. the building of which has been held up during the war.
 Building materials have increased less in cost than any other com modity. I believe with increased de- mand they are apt to increase much more than they have. Certainly they can not decrease in cost materially.
 we are short in this country today 700, 900 dwellings, churches, schools, >theatres-an manner of public and private buildings because we are three years behind in our building program" said Mir. sprague. "Ordi- narily, in this country there are built
 
 time there has been practically none. The same is true of all kinds of buildings.
 Now 1t is time for such building work. Labor is here and aviailaib7e; 1t IS very likely not to be available in six months. I know the conditions, the conditions the business men are facing; they think building materials are high, taxes are high---everything seems against building now.
 Tn order to tide workers over dur ing the reconstruction period, the building program which was held up during the war should be put In force now. Then when the industries have returned to normal output, they will have workers at hand to put into the places which they occupied before the war
 Right now the prime duty of in dustry is to place the returned sol- dier. One of the greatest llumanita- rian actions in history is that prom
