LONDON, Feb. 27.-At a conference
unique in the history Of British indus
trial life, Premier Lloyd George to-day
pleaded with capital and labor to get
together. Throughout the long day the
Premier sat in the hall and heard
speeches, some violently critical of his
government, but all, whether by labor
leaders or capitalist representatives
keyed to the seriousness of the worst
industrial period in the history of
England.
At the end, the Premier accepted q
resolution presented by Arthur Hender-
son, leader of the Labor party, calling
for the appointment of an equal num-
ber of representatives of employers and
employees, including men and women,
who are to study the causes of unrest,
the question Of hours, wages ard un-
employment and the best methods for
promoting the cooperation of capital and
labor. This committee Of sixty will
report in time for the calling of an
other conference before April 5.
1t was good day for Mr.. Lloyd
George. The miners reached an agree
ment to postpone their threatened
strike until March %, thus giving the
royal commission an opportunity to
report in the interim. Then the gov
eminent got another repricvc when the
conference accepted the Henderson
resolution.
What The meeting showed clearly
was, first, that the government, the
employers and the workers regard the
present situation with the greatest
alarm; second, that all classes are anx-
ious to reach settlement and avoid
the violence Of compulsion; third, the
labor leaders are much more moderate
than the workers and are rather doubt
full of their ability to hold them in
check, and, fourth: the causes of un-
rest are due largely 70 the loss OF
confidence and deep suspicon-the
workers in the employers and the gov
ernment, and the employers in the
workers and the government Profitcer-
ing and inadequate housing accommo-
dations were the two chief causes Of
unrest given by the majority Of the
speakers.
Sir Robert Horne, Minister of Labor,

Senators Engage in Brisk Argument Over Interna- tional Labor Organization in Treaty Terms.

Washington, Oct. 29.-The Moses amendment to the peace treaty, last of those proposed by the foreign re- lations committee, was rejected today by the senate. Like the Johnson amendment defeated last week. if dealt with voting power in the league of nations. The vote was 36 to AZ.
 Of those supporting the Moses amendment three were democrats Gore, Shields and Walsh, Mass. Nine republicans-Colt, Edge, Hale, Kel- logg, Reyes, Lenroot McNary, Nelson and Sterling-voted with the demo- crats in opposition.
 Wants Advisory War Vote.
 A subject not touched by the com mittee was injected into the fight to- day by Senator Gore, democrat, Okla homa, who presented an amendment to article 12 proposing that under the league no nation would go to war "un- til an advisory vote of the people shall have been taken as an additional con- dition after arbitration had failed.
 The debate centered during much of the session around the treaty's provi- sion for an international labor organi- ration. Efforts to alter it were made by several senators.
 La Toilette Raps Provision.
 Senator La Toilette, republican Wisconsin, assailed the labor provision as undem ocratic and perilous to Am- erican labor interests. Instead of giv- ing labor "a new charter of rights. " as President Wilson had contended, he said ''it would perpetuate the wrong and injustice in the present relation existing between labor and capital"
 Samuel Gompers and other Ameri- can delegates had protested against many provisions at Paris, he said but had been "beaten on every important point"
