, CTS had made every concession thus far and that his group could not yield further than to indorse the provisions Of the original Russell -Endicott reso latioT7.
 Herbert F. Perkins. of Chicago. act ing as spokesman for the employ CTS have proclaimed on the floor of the conference, that the employers could not grant the right or collective bar gaining with representatives not chos- erl from among their own employees.
 Two resolutions on collective bar gaining were before the confere nce when adjournment was taken Friday and unless a com promise is reached before the conference is called to or der tomorrow. Whicl1 is inprOba ble, each will be brought up for vote. The first proposition in. order will be the Wheeler resolution sponsored by the employers group. recognizing the right to collective bargaining by em- pioyes but >eserving to the employ CT the right ito deal or not deal with men or groups of men who are not his emINoyes and chosen by and from among them.'' The labor delegates would mean nothing if adopted since it would give the employers unre- stricted choice of representatives to deal with the workunen on industrial issues while limiting the employees to their own ranks. thus eliminating the officials of the nationals and Subor- dinale labor organizations, in many cases the best qualified representa- tives. of the unions. All elements of the conference are agreed that the labor wing will defeat the Wheeler measure if fE comes to a vote.
 Should this measure be defeated or withdrawn. the Russell Endicott measure would be next in order This resolution would pledge the confer -ence- to recognize the right of the em- ployes to bargain collectively and to eleGA their representatives without restrictions. The employers group has repeatedly voiced emphatic opposition to this proposal which has the support of the public and labor delegates Since an adverse vote by d single group can defeat any resolution there
 practically no hope of the Russell Endlcott measure being adopted.
