Expected to Discuss Proposals.

1t was learned from sources in close
touch with the employers group this
morning that Judge Gary expected to
discuss iabors arbitration proposal
with the corporation board Of directors
today. Prediction was made that those
delegates opposed to steel strike arbi-
tratfon by the conference may offer q
concession in the form of a con-
ference committee to Investigate the
strikes causes and its present status.
Labor leaders. It was said. might be
willing to accept the concession with
2 view to receiving greater consider
alton in labor's basic demand-that is.
general unionization of industry.
There is a general tendency among
ali delegates to strengthen the posi-
ton of conservative labor leaders,
such as Mr.. G0mpers and his associ-
ates In the labor group. 1t was point
ed out. because employers appreciate
fully the fact that IL conservative
men do not continue to lead the labor
movement radical leaders will take
their places and the consequences are
likely to be serious to the nation.
So far in the conference proceedings
the farmer delegates-J. N. Title
more Of the American Society of
Equity, T. c. Atkeson of the National
Grange. and C. s. Barrett Of the Farm
ers' Cooperative Union-have had
practically no active part. They are
associated with the employers group
and represent 10000. 900 Of the popu-
1ation. Excepting q preamble to q
resolution calling for the formula
ton Of a national agricultural policy,
submitted by Mr.. Barrett, the farm
ers have been silent.

THE truth will never overtake. COM
pletely, the falsehood," said Senator
Norris. III the President wanted to
be fair with the people. with the SEN
ate and with the world, he. would at
least have been careful to have given
as great publicity to the correction as
he did to the misstatement."
Senator Norris said Japan entered
the war in 1914, and the Shantung
treaty was not made until 1917.
When the Nebraska senator halted
for moment, with his speech only
two-thirds through, Republican Lead
er Lodge gave him breathing spell
by suggesting that the Senate shift to
the reading and allow Senator Norris
to conclude today.
At the suggestion Of Senator Lodge
the Senate also adopted an agreement
to take up the Shantung amendments
Wednesday, but this does not mean
that they will be considered under she
five-minute debating rule then. or that
q vote is any nearer than 1t was yes
terday. Senators explained that this
procedure would enable the body to
revert to the section embracing the
Shantung provision. as the reading by
Wednesday may be way ahead OF 1t.
But IL senators want to kesp on speak

the white House today whether the
