CONFERENCE AGREES
TO ALTERNATES

Washington. Oct. S,-The farmer
will not be the goat in the settle
ment of the high cost of living problem,
G. S. Barrett, of Union City, Ga. told
the industrial congress today.
Don't, gentlemen, allow yourselves
to be deluded into the false idea that
agriculture cannot kick. that it will
continue to be the football Of other great
national interests, said Mr. Barrett.
THE neglect of the farmer in con
nection with this conference has
aroused suspicion, 7 fear, in many
minds that organized labor and organ
lied capital might get together for some
plan for reducing the high cost Of living
and allaying unrest and that the tiller
of the soil would be made to pay the
bill.
''lf any member of this conference
holds to such view, let him under
stand now and forever afterward that
the farmer will not make up the def =
cit he will not be the goat. -
Secretary Lane, chairman of the
conference, called on the delegates to
get acquainted instead of remaining
rigidly separated in groups, and ad .
iournment was followed by a mingling
of labor leaders, capitalists, farmers
and publicists.

Association. G.. 4. Richardson, of Phila-

as result of the advent of the one

eleven months showed that maintenance
costs for one-man cars averaged only
thirteen mills per car mile, or little more
than one third the cost of operating
two-man cars.

ELECTRIC RAILWAY
MEN VOICE PROTEST
Demand Elimination Of Trolley
Lines From Bill Pending
in Congress
AGAINST U. S. REGULATION

Atlantic City, Oct. S.-The American
Electric Railway Association in adopt
ing report by committee headed by
Charles l.. Henry. president Of the
Indianapolis and Cincinnati Traction
Company, voiced a demand that cleo
trio railroads be eliminated from the
pending railroad bill before Congress
with the exception of those lines engaged
in interstate service.
To make electric lines subject to those
provisions of the Esch Pomerenc bill
which proposed to extend to the Inter
state Commerce commission many OF
the regulatory powers of the State
Public Service commissions. it was
held, would be little short of disastrous
For example the committee cited the
impracticablity of requiring electric
lines to go before the Interstate Com =
merce Commission for consent to make
extensions and other necessary improve
mentS.
This authority, SO far as the electric
lines are concerned. unquestionably
should be left to the state bodies, the
| committee insisted together with other
questions affecting labor, because of the
great dissimiarity of conditions gov =
! nrning labor on electric lines and steam
lines.
Another committee reported that as
Il result of hearings in Philadelphia and
twenty other cities throughout the coun-
, try, prospects are bright for obtaining
for the trolley lines the long DELAYED
| adequate compensation for the car
riage of the mails. COMPANIES pro
tested i'll vain against the inadequacy
of compensation until Congress made il
Il penal offense for them to refuse to
obey the orders of the postofice De-
partment. Then they went to work
in earnest to demand full pay for scrv
| ices rendered.

Rome. Oct. S.--(By A. P.D--Aluch
excitement in political circles and cx-
tended comment in the press has been
caused by reported receipt Of warn
ings from Great Britain and the United
States to Italy with regard to the situa
ton at Fiume.
1t is declared that the warning from
England stated in effect that if the
present illegal situation" at Fiume
should continue Italy would run the
risk of being put out of the alliance
and the Peace Conference" and it was
received few days after Il similar
warning from the United States.
The Tribuna. one of the leading com
mentators, declares that Italy is not
alone responsible for the Fiume situa
tion, and incidentally attacks what it
calls the 'preponderance" of President
Wilson in the Peace Conference and the
alleged inability or lfnwillnguess of the
Allies to limit it,

Labor Watchfully Waits

They are waiting developments. wait
Ing for the other groups to disclose
their plans and present their PROPOSE
tious. After that they will reject or
accept, as it may suit their cause. This
has been their attitude from the be-
ginning.
The labor group has nothing TO sub
nit in the way of plans or suggestions
for the present. at least. This was
frankly confessed by Mr.. Gompers a
few minutes before adjournment yes
terday. He said:
Mr.. Chairman-For myself and col
leagues / desire to say that we have
NO resolutions or suggestions concealed
about our persons. We have no reso-
lutions to offer at this time. We have
certain matters under discussion which
we may present later on for considera-
ton"
The conference had reached a point
in its work where it was blocked The
rules of procedure had been adopted.
A general committee of ifteen-fve
from each group-to consider whatever
resolutions or plans might be submit
ted to the body of delegates, had been
named. Then the proceedings halted
What to do next was the query. The
conference was at its wits end. 1t
was houndering in a maze.
Secretary Lane sensed the embarrasS-
ing situation instantly. He suggested
adjournment until today to enable the
members Of each group TO formulate
plans. He said:
Before adjournment let me suggest
that perhaps there are number of
members who have resolutions conceal e.
ed about their persons which they de-
sire to present. If they will submit
them now the general committee can
report on them tomorrow morning."
Then it was that Mr.. Gompers made
the statement that labor had nothing
to suggest or present TO the conference
at present.

Through her heroism in saving 4

a student at the Woman's Medical Col
lege Of Pennsylvania. has been able to
realize the ambition Of her life-to be-

This year the college has established

United States, and delegates were in
honor bound to remain at their posts
until the conference finally adjourned.
Speaking for his group. Mr.. Gompers
denounced Wheeler's suggestion. In
we'll chosen phraseology he decla V that
no member should absent himsci\rom
the sessions for any reason. Commit
tees should so arrange their time to
permit their members to be present at
every sitting of the main body, AS for
himself, he did not propose to lose
even n monosyllablc Of discussion on
the floor.
Mr.. Gompers and his colleagues are
ctcrnally on the watch tower. Several
times during the discussion. cries Of
Louder" came from their section. The
labor group sits together at long table,
elbow to elbow. The other groups are
sprcad out nt their convenience. The
laborites rally instantly for n whispered
conference with heads together at a nod
from Mr.. Gompcrs.
Personnel Looks Promising
The more one studies the personnel of
this conference, the stronger becomes
the impression that great things will be
accomplished. Not, perhaps. for the
immediate future. but for the greater
future beyond. Its deliberations, even
thus early. seem prescicnt of vast posi-
bilities.

conflicting interests of capital and labor
