scented at Opening session-secre- :
tary Of Labor Wilson Describes
Status Of Assembly.

Washington, Oct. 29.-The first Of
the international bodies created by the
treaty of Versailles to meet IN Amc~-
lea, the International Labor conf =
ence, convened at noon here to con-
tinue in session for practically a
month and to lay the foundation Of a
worldwide movement for improvement
and Standardization of workers.
Although the legal status of the gath
ering still is held in doubt in some
quarters, members Of the organizing
committee and officials of the Depart
ment of Labor agreed that the dele
gates who have arrived, representing
more than 80 countries, should organ
ize some sort of conference and dis
cuss the agenda prescribed in the
peace treaty. Secretary of Labor Will
son still holds the view that only those
states which have ratified the treaty
can participate in the official confer
ence which is part Of the machinery
Of the league Of nations.
Wilson to Describe Status.
In opening the conference, Secretary
Wilson described the assembly as the
conference in the process of being
organized Through this interpreta-
ton, the provision of the treaty calling
for the opening of such a conference
on October 20 will be fulfilled and ad.
vantage will be taken of the power OF
the United States as "organizer" Of
the conference to admit nations which
have not ratified the treaty.
The question of the admission OF
Germany and Austria also will be sub.
mitted. While the organizing commit
tee will not make a recommendation
on this point, individuals expressed
themselves al strongly in favor Of their
participation from the time Of their
arrival. 49,.

ARMY Av|AToRs SLAIN
Waterhouse and Connolly Are
Murdered by Mexicans.
Steps Taken by Government to Bring
Siayers to Justice-1odies
Brought Home.

San Diego, Calf, Oct. 27.-It is Off.
cially announced here that Leutenants
Cecil H. Connolly, of San Diego, and
Frederic B. Warehouse, of Weiser.
Idaho, army aviators missing since
August 81, were slain in Lower Cali
fornia by two Mexican fishermen.
The: announcement was made upon
the arrival here of the destroyer Aaron
Ward, bringing the bodies Of the two

i,oint ~. lad flown after losing their
way in a border patrol flight from
Yuma, Ariz., to San Diego.
Steps Taken to Capture slayers.
According to Major R. 8. Bratton,
head of the military party sent from
here to recover the bodies, the slayers
were from Mexican sloop, their iden.
tity is known to the United States and
Mexican government and steps are be-
ing taken to capture them.
The destroyer also brought part
of story of the sufferings endured by
the young aviators in the form of notes
ScraWled IN part on the wings and
fuselage of the de Haviland airplane
in which Connolly and Waterhouse
made their last flight. Some of these
messages evidently written when the
aviators had almost lost hope of being
found were of such a tragic nature
that Bratton asked the newspaper
representatives to refrain from using
them out of consideration for the Off
GERS families.
Major Bratton said that the two avi-
ators had gone 10 days without food
or at least without much to sustain
them. The fate that drew them from
their air path remained with them I'M.
til the very last. Major Theodore Mac
Auley in one of his flights to find them,
flew within 60 miles of the spot where
they stood guarding their plane.

the bituminous field shall be declared
as having automatically expired Nov.

wages and the adoption of six-hour
work day and five-day week, and
providing that in the event a salts.

field before Nov. 1, 1919, the national
