Study Dangerous Radicalism.

There were several industrial man.
ayers in the special committee OF the
United States Chamber of Commerce.
which recently completed a tour of
the country with view to learning
at first hand the actual conditions in
industrial centers and to get a line
on the spread of really dangerous
radicalism in the northwest and along
the Pacific coast.
At the completion of the tour the
business executives completely over
rode the attitude of the conservatives
the so-called old crowd-with re-
gard to treatment of labor.
The younger men startled their COL
leagues with their liberal expressions
and attitude of Willingness to wipe
clean the slate of industrial history
in America and start all over again
as comrades with labor to make new,
clean history.
1t is known definitely now that the
proposed conference will not take
place before October l. Meanwhile
details Of procedure will be worked
out and representatives of all parties
to the meeting will draw up their
separate programs of subjects to be
considered.

PRESIDENTS PLAN
ENTHUSES LABOR
All Declare Capital-Workers'
Farley Will Bring
Adjustment.
HOPE SEEN IN YOUNG MEN

The whole labor world of America
is enthusiastic over President Will
sons plan for a conference between
leaders representing capital and la
Dor. 1t is declared on all sides the
President could have given to the ma
ton no more important message than
his Labor day letter. for out of it
there will come, labor men say, an in
dustrial adjustment and understand
ing which will put the United States
far ahead Of the rest of the world in
the relations between the three pill
lars of national production achieve
ment-capitalists. executives. work.
erS.
1t is realized, however. that the con-
ference itself, no less than the prep
arations for it, will have to be con-
Quoted with the utmost circumspec-
tion. Long experience in labor trou-
bles has schooled spokesmen for both
primary groups in the belief that the
opposition is trying to take unfair
advantage and will employ any means
to secure the advantage. If the con-
ference is to be the full success that
is hoped for it, observers declare, the
new group in the industrial world
the younger business executive group
will have to be used as the leaven.
Labor Wary Of "Old Crowd"
Labor leaders said frankly today
they fear the "old crowd" the re
actionaries." among the capitalists
will look upon the Presidents pro-
pOsals with suspicion. and will be ex-
tremely wary of what they say and
do in the conference. That they will
agree to hold conference, is not
doubted by labor spoke smen. because
pressure Of public opinion everywhere
is now being applied for a solution of
the economic and industrial puzzles
endangering the peace OF the nation.
While the Council of National De-
fense is being utilized as an agency
through which the administration is
dealing with these puzzles. still an
other agency is likely to be called
upon to aid in bringing the industrial
conference to fruition- 1t is the
United States Chamber Of Commerce.
There is in this organization a large
element of young business executives
who are extremely liberal in their
views with regard to industrial rela-
tions. This element must be distin-
guished from the purely capitalistic
element-the investing grcup-in that
it has no heavy money investments in
the Industries Of the nation. but has
heavy investment of executive abil-
ity.

days when the mosquito is ravag-
ing the land Of the Maple Leaf more
ruthlessly than usual. the geranium

Furthermore. should the assaulting
mosquito break through the geran-
ium leaf barrage and dig his little
well in ones skin, II is declared that

the welt with a leaf.
The Canadian cure is said 10 be
effective even against the big boss"
