To Meet In Washington
On October 18th As
Guests Of United States.
SMYTH TO HELP
IN FINAL PLANS
Article 3O7 of the Peace
Treaty Requests This
Government to Act On
the Initiative.

Washington, August i1.-President
Wilson has issued a call for an in
ternational labor conference III Wash
i..gton for October 20.
A provision for such conference
was included in the treaty or peace,
but in view of present circumstances
the capitol may have the spectacle
or an International labor conference.
held In the United States. minus
American representatives. This will
hinge entirely on whether or not the
treaty q ratified by that date.
The senate, by resolution, gave the
president authority to call the con-
ference, but inserted a proviso pre-
venting him from naming any Afneri-
can DELEGATES unless the peace treaty
had been ratified in the meantime.
The situation may therefore resolve
itself, providing American labor has
any great desire to be represented IN
the conference. to the application OF
additional pressure on the senate TO
rsttfy the treaty. according to views
expressed today.
Each government represented at
the conference-which is expected to
include q delegation from every gov
eminent, with the exception OF enemy
countries, which signed the peace
treaty-will have four delegates. One
will represent labor. another capital.
and two others the state.
EIGHT HOUR DAY
Four outstanding issues are slated
for discussion at the first conference.
They are:
Universal application of the
principle OF the eight hour day
a-Government aid in- connection
with. the worlds unemployment sttua-
y III!
a--s.fasuards for &omen IN in
dustry.
I. +Protection Of children In in
dustry, those above fourteen years OF
age.
No other proposals are expected to
be taken up at the initial meeting. but
the program for the succeeding year
win include whatever matters the
delegates wish to introduce for fu-
ture consideration. Because the in
ternational labor conference will be-
after the national conference called
for carly October to consider plan
for the demonstration OF the rail-
roads," II was suggested today that the
Plumb plan may be introduced for
consideration the ensuing year.
The department OF labor will act as
the presidents representative in max
ing arrangements for the conference.
An announcement today from the de-
partment Is. In part, AZ follows:

formed by the representatives of the

two panels. ono of which should be
made up Of the representatives OF
states ranking next after the great
powers and the other OF representa-

negative votes in the council should
operate as a veto.
Article Four provides for disarma-
