BY RALPH +. COUCH.

Omitted Press staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON. Oct l5.-Em-
ployers sitting in the national indus
trial conference today planned L.
start pressure to put through their
proposed establishment of shop
committees.
Defeating the proposal OF the lab
or delegates for arbitration by the
conference of the steel strike is the
first step in this plan, Delegate
Loree indicated when he condemned
the proposal on the conference floor
late yesterday.
Attempt Settlement.
The three major groups OF the
national Industrial conference went
into executive session this morning
to work on plans for arbitration Of
all industrial disputes.
The opening of the morning ses-
sion. scheduled FOR 9:3O a. M, was
delayed 70 permit the groups TO

ing out plan that it is hoped viii
meet objections of all members and
will dispose Of the arbitration ques-
tion now before the conference"
Defeat Certain.
Defeat of the labor groups pro-
posaI for mediation Of the steel
strike today seemed certain.
Members of the public group, led
by B. NJ. BaruCh, fearing an adverse
vote on the steel strike resolution
might cause a break in the confer
ence, set TO work on new arbitra-
ton plans and 50 delayed the vote
on the steel resolution which was
scheduled for this morning.
The new compromise plan may
not be reported today 1t is consid-
cred likely that the conference Will
not convene until afternoon, when
il is expected the public group will
succeed in getting favorable action
on proposal 10 adjourn or TO lay
over the vote on the steel arbitra-
tion proposal until the new COM
promise plan is ready for considera-
tiOn by the whole conference.

Thirty thousand cheering, rain

yesterday at the efforts of the unkind
elements to drive them home from

first of the Police Department field
days would be run Off as scheduled,
rain or shine. The field day was
held. 1t is unnecessary to remark on
the state of the weather.

important that it don't fizzle. If the
people in the grandstand saw us beat

"You are something of psychologist,

"I'm not sure l know just what that

None forgot the cause for which the
field meet was held Every one bore in
mind that the dollars they had paid
to see the star athletes of the force
house the widows and orphans of those
policemen who died before they had
served ten years in the department. and
who, therefore, did not come within the
provisions of the pension law.

when ESQ persons, all prominent in the

S. r. Stewart & Co.'s Letter

New Orleans, October 30-Notwith-
standing the adverse surrounding situ-
alton the cotton market today went into
new high ground Dor the May option.
Every one is more or less informed of
the unfavorable conditions, but values
are not shaken in either the contract
or spot transactions
Liverpool came 80 points lower on
spots, but sales of 1900 still show the
urgency prompting these purchases.
Our markets opened unchanged to G
points up, and receded slightly, but was
checked by buying on continued unfav-
orable weather conditions west and the
flrrnness of the spot markets.
After ranging within an irregular limit
40 points in December, 81 in January, SO
in March and 9S in May, the market
closed steady, to 40 points up, and the
gain shows, as in the range of fluctua-
tions, the greatest on the later months.
This is explained by the taking out of
straddle transactions, selling the long
interest in the early months and buying
later positions.
The government report tomorrow will
give condition only and not probable
crop raised. Reports from Texas and
Oklahoma showed the crop in those states
to be a calamity.
The late advance came as a result of
news of the sale Of a lot OF 800 bales at
so to 100 points advance. Traders not
kne wing what gave the impulse to the
covering started a rumor that the coal
strike had been called off No con-
firmation of the report could be secured
The spot markets are unchanged
throughout. both the western and Allan
