this great country, the queen and as
well as every Belgian will remember
that it was from the wheat belt that
came the first spontaneous offering OF
foodstuff to stricken Belgium" King
Albert of Belgium said today on the
arrival of the royal party in Omaha.
The king made several inquiries into
conditions here and expressed de-
sire to see the live stock markets and
great industries Of this city.
Leaving Omaha the royal couple ex-
pressed their gratitude for the splen-
did help extended their countrymen py
the people of the central west.
Whirling through Iowa, Belgian roy
atty today got a birdseye view OF
Americas grain farms.
Both the king and the prince stood
on the observation platform early this
morning as the special whizzed
through Iowa and were greatly i'm
pressed by the sight Of the corn fields
which reached from the railroad as
far In the distance as they'could see.
Late last night Prince Leopold graft.
fled his long wanted wish to see the
Mississippi river. The river was
crossed at Savanna, ILL.,, about mid.
night but the prince was up, and for
his special benefit huge searchlight,
carried along for sightseeing purposes
at night, was thrown on the river.
Throughout the run over Iowa and
Nebraska crowds gathered at stations
to see the king and queen. AT several
places they came out on the platform
and shook hands and kissed babies.
A brief halt was made at Manila,
Iowa, where railroad employees gath
cred and gave the queen three cheers.
The trip through Chicago last night
lust touched it's outskirts on the west
side. None of the party left the train,
the king and queen eating their dinner
as engines were changed. Great regret
was expressed by several members OF
the party that Chicago was left out
of the program, but the program is
entirely in the hands of the state de-
partment
At Elkhart, Indiana, yesterday an
amusing incident occurred. Bel.
gian workingman approached the KING
and spoke to him in Flemish, but was
unable to speak clearly, SO the king
asked him if he could speak English.
"Yes." replied the man.
"Then, speak English. please" said
the king.
The king and prince are expected
today to again mount the engine cab
and take over the throttle.
The special is due in Cheyenne at
midnight tonight and in Ogden at 3:3o
tomorrow afternoon. A halt of one
hour probably will be made at Salt
Lake City late tomorrow where 1t is
hoped to visit the Mormon tabernacle.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.-Organized
labor today finished framing It's
program for presentation to the in
dustrial peace conference" which
opens it's third session here this
morning.
The program was approved by the
group of labor delegates. Samuel
. Gompers, chairman of this group, is
under orders to present the demands
to the conference at any time he
deems fit One or more of the de
mands may be presented this morn
/ ing.
Labor delegates referred to theil
program as Conservative. 1t in
cludes only those principles fol
which organized labor long has
fought, leaders said. Profit sharing
and the forty-four-hour week are not
included, 1t was emphasized. The
program does not include union rec
ognition, 1t was explained. Whether
the question of the closed shop would
be raised is uncertain. The labor
proposals also include demand for
recognition by all employers of the
right of union workers to negotiate
with employers through any repre-
sentaives they may select.
Leaders Of the group OF capital
delegates refused to make known
whether they will submit proposals
at today's meeting.
"Our proposals will be intended to
increase production" said Frederick
p. Fish, spokesman for five delegates
named by the National Industrial
conference. Harry A. Wheeler, OF
Chicago, was elected chairman OF the
capital group last night.
Thomas L. Chadbourne, chairman
Of the committee Of fifteen, predicted
today that the conference would find
it necessary within few days to
adjourn for possibly three weeks.
while the various committees take
up and study the several propositions
to be placed before the conference.
In his opinion these committees will
need to call in the best authorities
on each subject and collect all the
information available If they are to
recommend satisfactory solutions. Un.
der the conference rules adopted
yesterday, all proposals must be sub
mitted in writing in behalf OF the
group in which they originate. Be
fore being submitted, the proposal
must first have been assented to by
majority of the group members.
Individuals may not offer proposals
except by group permission.
Immediately upon submission to
the conference each proposal is re
ferred automatically to the central
committee of fifteen without discus
sion. This committee must consider
the proposal and report before it may
be discussed on the floor.
AS a result of ithe adoption of this
procedure, the conference today
faced adjournment almost immed1
ately after submission of proposals.
| Twenty-Five delegates nominated
by the president to represent the
public will have no proposals ready
for submission today, they said.
