CONFERENCE ON
LABOR PROBLEMS
OPENS AT CAPITAL TO CoNSlQER
INDUSTRIAL SITUATION ARTS
ING FROM RECONSTRUCTION.
Length Of Conference Is Matter OF
Uncertainty and Will Depend on
Progress Made BY the Delegates in
Formulating a Program.

.Washington.-Cap labor and the
public met here in a conference called
by President Wilson to consider indus
trial problems arising from recon
struction.
A basis of cooperation among the
three great elements in the life OF
the nation which will go far toward
eliminating strikes and other social
unrest is hoped for as result OF the.
deliberations.
The only discordant note so far has
been the opposition of the railroad
unions to the basis of representation
Offered to them. Acting as unit, the
IA transportation organizations are
considering a compromise proposal Of
fered by Director General Walker d.
Hines, acting for the President, which
would allow to the four brOtherhoOds
one delegate each, with the other
unions to be represented by the dele
gates accredited to the American Fed
Grafton of Labor with which they are
affiliated
In addition, B. M. Jewell, acting
President of the Federation's railway
employees department, has been named
to be one of the delegates to repre-
sent the public.
The length of the conference is a
matter of uncertainty and will depend
on the progress made by the delegates
in formulating a program to guide in
dustry until normal conditions are re-
ported.
