LABOR CONFERENCE

President Wilson yesterday trans
mitted a message to Congress in
quiring whether it would authorize
the proposed international conference
next October to consider matters
relating to international commune
cation by cable, telegraph. radio or
otherwise.
The President called attention to a
recent law prohibiting the executive
from giving or accepting invitations
to international conferences without
express authority of law, and asked
whether Congress will approve the
proposed communications conference.
Accompanying the message was a
report to the President from Secre-
tary Lansing, stating that the princi-
pal allied pbwers expected to partici-
pate in the conference planned here
in October. and requested appropria-
ton of $4,000 for expenses. Secre-
tary Lansing said the international
conference was agreed to by the
council of FIVE at Paris when dispo-
sition of German cables was under
consideration. This message was re-
ferred to the foreign relations COM
mittee.
