LABOR RALLY
CALLED FOR OCTOBER 5
Forty-five Leaders in Various
Fields to Attend White
House Conference.

Washington.-Th national induStri
al conference between representatives
of labor, capital and agricultural in
terests will take place i'll Washington
between October and 10. This an
nouncement was made at the White
House.
President Wilson will preside at the
conference, which will be attended by
forty-five representatives. The repre-
sentatives will be chosen by the Presi-
dent from his lists submitted by the
various groups which it is desired to
bring together to which the President
will add several conferees nominated
by himself.
The President sent requests to the
United States Chamber of Commerce,
leading agricultural associations, bank
ers and others as well as to President
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor asking for lists of men from
which the final selection of the con-
ferees may be made.
1t was stated that the President
would not make his own selections
until he has seen the other lists. The
complete list will not be ready for
week or ten days.
1t was stated that the American Fed
Grafton of LabOr's plan of making up
the list of confereeS meets the approval
of the labor leaders, inasmuch as it
gives them freedom in recommending
the men to represent labor The plans
suggested in Congress for conferences
between labor and capital have not
met with favor at the hands of the
labor leaders.
1t is assumed that President Com
perS will be one of the representatives
of labor at the conference. The selec-
ton of the list to be submitted to the
President will be made by President
Gompers and the members of the exec
utive council.
While the "big four" brotherhoods
of railroad men are not in the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, it is expect
ed they will be given representation
at the conference by the President.
The greatest intere is being mani
tested in the attitude which the larger
financial interests and big industries
such as the United States Steel cor
poratiOn will take toward the Presi-
dents conference.

Washington.-Th senate received
and discussed for several hours Il bill

ment control Of the railroads. their re-
turn To private ownership and opera
