Mr.. Audrey maintained the future

The banker is confronted with larg-

TO BRING ABOUT
BETTER RELATIONS
Board of Arbitration and
Truce Recommended at
Conference.

Observation-Disclosures in the
committee of fifteen or the steering
committee over labor's proposal to ar
bitrate the steel strike brought about
adjournment Friday of the National In
dustrial Conference until Tuesday.
Adjournment came after the confer
ence had received the proposals of the
employers group declaring for the
principle of the open shop and affirm
ing that mo employer should be re-
quired to deal with men or groups of
men who are not his employees or
chosen by and from among them" The
latter principle created quite a stir in
the conference and was considered by
some of the delegates as approval of
the stand taken by Judge Ebert H.
Gary, chairman of the United States
Steel Corporation, IN refusing to meet
the steel strikers.
Washington. - Concrete proposals
designed to bring about better rela-
tions between employers and the I'M
employed were laid before the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Thursday
by members of the variuos groups
making up the gathering. The pro-
posals included:
Arbitration of the nationwide steel
strike, with return of the men to work
pending settlement; an industrial
truce starting Immediately and contin-
uing three months; creation Of an ar
bitration board by the president and
congress, and including among it's
members all ex-presidents, and a COM
prehensive plan for adjudication of
industrial disputes through boards OF
arbitration in the various industries.
The conference also took it's first
concrete action in adopting a motion,
offered by Thomas L. Chadbourne, a
representative of the public, providing
that a committee consisting of three
members from each of the groups of
employers, labor and the public be
appointed to investigate the high cost
Of living.
The proposal for settlement of the
steel strike, introduced by Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation Of Labor, and one of the
delegates, came as a surprise to the
groups representing the public and
employers.
In offering the proposal Mr. Com
perS explained that it had the support
or the labor delegates, including the
representatives of the railroad brother.
hoods. The proposal, like all others
submitted under the conference rules,
was referred to the general commit
tee, composed Of five representatives
OF each group.
Labor's proposal for arbitration Of
the strike was completed by the dele
gates of that group in consultation
with John Fitzpatrick, chairman of
the steel strikers committee. 1t was
embodied in resolution which said
in conclusion:
Resolved, That each group COM
prising this conference select two of
its number, and these six 30 selected
to constitute a committee to which
shall be referred existing differences
between the workers and employers in
the steel industry for adjudication set

mittee this conference requests the
