Washington, Oct. A. What may prove one of the greatest industrial battles in history was believed by some observers here to be forecast by the rHouucement today of Samuel Comp sre, president of the American Fedora ton Of Labor. that a conference of the heads Of the 112 international unions affiliated with the American Fedora stioIl Of Labor would be held in Wash taSton in the near future" to dis cuss present and impending disputes.
 Cooperation of the four big railroad brotherhoods and the farmers of the country as well as the labor organiza- tions of Canada probably will be sought. it was said, in furthering whatever programme the union chiefs decide upon.
 MT. Gompers' announcement was contained in telegram to the Illinois Federation Of Labor at Peorio. His message was in reply to one in which the illinois organization asked that special convention of the American Federation of Labor be called to per unions Of the United States and Cam ada and the railroad brotherhoods more effectively to fight out the life and death struggle of the workers now Sn progress"

BRITISH GOVERNMENT IS
 NOT EXPECTED TO RESIGN

London, Oct. 24.-Po1itical experts and the editorial utterances in the papers this morning generally express the view that no one expects the gov ernment to resign d result of the adverse vote in the house of commons yesterday and that the circumstances of the defeat of the pilots amendment in nowise need entail such d step. The incident, however, is regarded on all sides as one which has given the ad : minisrration a severe shock, a repeti- ton Of which it could hardly survive:
 The vote is generally described as an assertion of the independence of the house of commons and Q revolt against the alleged dictation of ministers-a determination to reaSSert the Supre1aa- cy which the commons surrendered to the cabinet during the war
 More than one hundred supporters of the coalition, among whom Sir Edward Carson was conspicuous voted against the government. These represented the intense anti-alien feeling prevail ing among the conservative coalition lsts and the fear that the government Is trying in the present stage of the Dill to annul amendments which those hostile to aliens secured in the com mittee stage. Some surprise is ex- pressed that the labor members and the so-called free liberals joined in the vote against the government on this issue, thereby identifying them selves with the anti-alien faction, contrary to the avowed principles of their leaders.
