 TO CONFERENCE
DOVE OF PEACE SPREADS WINGS OVER INDUSTRIAL CONFER ENCE AT WASHINGTON; SPIRIT OF CANCELLATION IS SHOWN BY GROUPS.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 17.-R-Aft- CT three days of unbreakable dead lock over disputed points between the groups representing labor and capital, the dove of peace spread it's wings over the industrial conference in progress here today. But the dove is a timid bird and may take fright at any time.
 The capital group made the first overtures looking toward settlement of the differences. When it became apparent that no decision was to be arrived at over the proposal submit ted to the conference by representa- tives of capital for the rejection of the principle of collective bargaining, the capital group this morning pre- scented a resolution in the confer ence stating that capital recognizes the right of employers of labor to deal or not deal with men not their employees.
 This is a concession to the de- mands of the labor group and wheth- CT or not it will solve entirely the difficulties producing the heretofore existing deadlock, it has at least pro duced spirit of conciliation that is highly manifest in the conference which leads to a belief here that the labor and capital groups will CO., operate in the future.

ments of the city, and the one calling
for the greatest expenditure of money
is the installation of central heat
ing plant by A. C. Burmeister, who
will furnish the business section of the
city with steam heat from the light
and Power plant. By the first Of
September four blocks in the center
of the city will be provided with the
pipes for the conduction of the steam
into the various buildings. This pro-
ject was started in 1916 but because
the war made the price of materials
prohibitive work on it was stopped,
and only resumed at the opening of
the present season.
Tunnels are now being placed, an OPP
GRAFTON which is watched with the
keenest interest by many residents as
| it is an entirely new sight in the city.
These tunnels are four feet by six
feet and the main steam pipes range
in size from twelve inches in diameter
to six inches. This piping, with the
smaller pipes used for the return of
the condensation, call for three thou
sand feet of piping. Mr.. Burmeister is
making provision in these tunnels for
the putting underground of all the
light wires now in use, change which
may be made at some future date with
out the disturbance of the street sur
face. This is compatible with the po-
Icy of the City Council that all chang
es made now shall be such that there
will be no future interference with
the paving, which is proposed inn
provement for the business section
within few years.
The four blocks included in the heat
ed district include Washington Street
as far south as the Lamberton Gar
age, from which point pipes may cas-
| lily be laid to the Redwood Falls Hos
pital, the three churches of that local
| ity and to the city library if desired;
Second Street between Mill and the
Thompson building, and one block on
No. Washington st. connecting from
there with lines leading to the power
house. Practically all the property
owners in the section have already de-
cided to heat their buildings from this
central source, and the heating in the
State Bank, the Lauterbach and the
Jaehning buildings as well as most OF
| the others mentioned in this article
will be taken care of by the central
plant. Central heating has been adj
vantageously used for several years at
New Ulm, and other of the neighboring
small cities as well as in the larger one
and the idea has gotten beyond the
experiment stage. The Gazette looks
upon the system now being installed
by Mr.. Burmeister as one of the most
progressive improvements made in the
city in many years.

GOVERNMENT RECOGNIZES MEN
BEING RETURNED NEED MORE
FOR SUBSISTENCE.

Uncle Sam has recognized the high
cost OF living and has increased the
sum allowed disabled soldiers, sailors
and marines for expenses during the
period of retraining under the direc-
ton of the Federal Board of Vocation
al Education, Harry w. Jones, district
director, was informed by wire Fri
day. A--a-rr,L
Heretofore the minimum allowance
for single men while in training was
S65 month. This has been increased
to $50 month. The minimum allow
ance for disabled men with dependents
who live with their dependents dur
ing the training period is now fixed
at $85 a month. Originally this war
SIS month. Dependents will contin-
ue to receive the same allowances s
heretofore.
Mr.. Jones has taken an active part
IN obtaining this increase in "pay''
for men in training. While in Mon
tana he found that the cost of living
was SO great that sos month would
not cover living expenses. A similar
situation existed in all of the larger
communities of this district Mr.. Jones
took up with Washington the question
of more money for expenses and was
notified that the Washington authori-
ties agreed with him as to the neces-
sity for giving disabled service men
more money while training.
Edward c. Elliott of Helena, Mont,
chancellor of the University of Mon
tana, who is in Minneapolis, declared
that the Montana university has adopt
ed most liberal policy in the refrain
ing of disabled soldiers, sailors and
marines in cooperation with the Fed
eral Board for Vocational Education.

men as preferred creditors for oppor-
tunities, especially those who are ben
eficiaries under the Smith-Sears act, ,
Chancellor Elliott said. each of our
institutions has opened its doors with
out any restrictions whatever to every
man recommended for training by Mr..
Jones, the district director.
"We have waived fer the moment
every technical requirement for adj

policy to extend the maximum Of op-
portunity and assistance to the dis
abled men,"
