Washington, D. c., Dec. Seventeen
men, prominent in business and public

whole, assembled here to-day to confer
on the country's industrial situation.

The opening session was set for $3.50
o'clock.
No form Of procedure was set for the
gathering and this will be determined
by the conference itself In the words
of President Wilson the new repre-
sentatives should have concern that our
industries may be conducted with such
regard for justice and fair dealing that
the workmen will feel themselves in
duced to put forth their best efforts that
the employer will have an encouraging
profit and that the public will not suf-
fer at the hands of either class"

crease in wages. The demands were
made by six unions of the National
Amalgamation of Textile Operatives,
numbering approximately 1000 and
their leadership as has been the case in
previous strikes, was largely followed
by the unorganized workers Many of
the latter went to work as usual at the
opening hour but left the mills when it
appeared that the strike was effective
The United Textile Workers of
America, an organization which has
about 1900 members, announced that
it would take no formal part in the
strike, but early reports Indicated that
many Of these operatives had remained
away from the mills.
No disorder of any kind was report.
cd. The police stationed at the mill
gates found the strikers good natured
and for the most part confident that
they would soon be back at work. This
hope was based on an announcement
that the manufacturers would meet rep
resentatives Of the textile council dur.
ing the morning. There appeared to be
q feeling that through mutual conces.
sions, this conference would lead to the
ending of the strike.

ITALIAN ROYALTY
VAS WELL RECEIVED
While Proceeding from the Quirinal to
the Parliament Buildings
To-day.

Rome, Dec. liking Victor Emman-
uel and Queen Helena were given an
enthusiastic reception while proceeding
from the Quirinal to the Parliament
buildings this morning TO participate in
the morning session of the Italian Par.
lament. Houses were gaily decked
along the street.
The king in his speech from the
throne said that the confidence and
sympathy of the nation were indispen-
sable to the Parliament as was ma
tional collaboration in all movements
for the good of the people. Italy, he
said, after her great victory must direct
all her efforts to the works Of peace.
The king began by greeting the heroes
of the army and navy. The virtues
and energies they had displayed during
the war would serve to hasten the eco
nomic reconstruction, he said
Italy through the war, continued the
king, had gained her natural frontiers,
but not all Of her aspirations, he de-
clared, were considered everywhere in
spirit of justice. The aspirations Of
Italy in the Adratic, he asserted, did
not cloak any military design, and for
the most part possessed no economic
value. They were confined, he said, TO
the defense of native ideas. The pro-
lection of Italian populations was the
duty and imprescriptible right Of Italy.
''We have no imperialistic views,
continued His Majesty "and intend in
no way that the peace Of Europe should
be disturbed
Italy regards with the liveliest sym
pathy the rise of the popular classes,
said the king, who characterized the
movement as one which should produce
in the interior of the country a pro-
gram Of intensive work and production
and In connection with foreign politics
as increasingly democratic cooperation
between nations.

CUTTING CHRISTMAS
TREES WISELY
Trees Should Be Taken from Groups
Rather Than Isolated
Trees.

A particularly appropriate opportu-
nifty TO display the Christmas spirit,
according to officials OF the forest serv-
ice of the United States department of
agriculture, is the manner in which
persons getting Christmas trees direct
from the forests cut the evergreens for
their holiday celebration Each year
thousands Of jewellers in towns and
cities, near the national forests or pri-
vately owned forests, turn to these
tracts for trees which are TO be the cen
trail features IN Yule-tide decorations
Where the trees are cut in accord with
the recommendations Of the forest serv-
ice no harm is done, but the tendency
of many is to slash into the growth
without regard to conserving the for
est's resources.
The point particularly emphasized by
the governments foresters is that a
tree selected for cutting should be one
which is part Of group OF trees of
comparatively compact growth rather
than more or less isolated tree, the
absence Of which would make a decided
gap that future growth could not fill
To follow this rule, OF course, prevents
the wholesale stripping of wooded
tracts, which is done in many instances
Objection is somtimes made to Sc
Letting for Christmas purposes tree

one chosen is apt to be unsymmetrical
the lower branches particularly being
irregular and unattractive. This diff
Guilty can be overcome by selecting a
tree several feet taller than the height
desired and cutting off the lower end

ton is made which results in no harm
to the forest.
