COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING
IS OPPOSED
Capital Representatives at
Conference Score Strikes,
Blacklists and Boycotts
WANT ADJUSTMENT FIRST
Present Principles; All Three
Groups Have Put in
Proposals
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Oct 1o.-Opposition
to collective bargaining and the
closed shop were among twelve fun
damental principles outlined by the
group representing capital and pre-
sented to-day to the National Indus
trial Conference. sympathetic
strikes, blacklists and boycotts were
declared to be 'indefensible, antiso-
cial and immoral"
While deploring strikes and lock-
outs, the principles set forth that
the right of strikes or lockouts
should not be denied as an ulti-
mate resort after all possible means
of adjustment have been exhausted"
This right, however, should apply
only to private industry.
Suggest Regulations
In public utility service it was pro-
posed that the state impose such
regulations as would assure continu-
Gus operation, at the same time pro-
Viding adequate means for the
prompt hearing and the adjustment
of complaints and disputes. Opposi-
ton to strikes of government en-
ployes also was expressed, the prln-
ciples stating that the right of such
employees to be heard and to secure
redress should be amply safeguard
ed"
Industrial Units
For the settlement of disputes IN
private industry, it was proposed
that each establishment be regard
ed as an industrial unit with ade-
quate machinery for adjustment OF
MISUNDERSTANDING between employees
and the MANAGEMENT. Other of the
principles dealt with conditions and
hours of work, wages, and the right
to associate, and il was declared
that every association, whether OF
either employees or employers, must
be equally subject to public author
ity and legally answerable for its
own conduct or that of its agents"
All Proposals In
Proposals of all three groups in
the conference.-the labor and
the public-have now been pre-
sented and the committee of fifteen
to which all matters are first re-
ferred under the conference rules,
will be able to begin work.
Conference Adjourns
After the group representing
capital had presented its principles
declaring opposition to the closed
shop and collective bargaining, the
conference adjourned to-day until
Tuesday to give the committee of
fifteen time to consider the various
proposals advanced and formulate a
report.
Suggestion from the public group
that the chairman of the three
groups be constituted a committee
to consider proposals received from
citizens over the country were
strongly disapproved by the labor
representatives who insisted upon
rigid enforcement of the rules re-
quiring that all matters considered

City Planners Endorse
Suggestion That Trees Be
Planted According to Plan

Intelligent planning before plant
ing trees, such as would be pro-
vided by the recent recommends
ton of the State Forestry Depart
ment to third class cities, is heartily
endorsed by E. S. Herman, chair
man of the City Planning Commits
sion.
Attention was called by Mr.. Her
man to. the fact that intelligent
planning in making cities is follow
ed out along building and many
other lines, but as rule ends when
it comes to tree planting. This, he
said, he believes to be a mistake.
Street lines are adopted, but per-
sons are permitted to go ahead and
plant whatever trees they may
choose. A wide variety is often seen.
he said, within a small space and
as a rule these present anything but
an attractive appearance.
When one property owner has
planted a poplar, another an elm
and third ar oak, leaves drop off
at widely separated times and gem
orally speaking an unattractive ap-
pearance, Mr.. Herman added.

Two Bogus Orders
Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart and
Bowman & Company were the two
department stores which received
shares in the bogus orders. orders
in both instances were placed by
Miss Haines over the telephone in
the name of Mrs. Frank Payne, of
1901 North Front street. Unusual
methods employed aroused suspicion
of employees in both stores, immedi-
ately after the initial order was
placed on Wednesday.
She had planned to have the goods
placed in storage for several months,
when she said she had expected to
get married and use it when she went
TO housekeeping. the girl explained
to-day. While not engaged, she had
expected to be able to persuade a
friend of hers to marry her when
she told him that she had enough
furniture, she is reported to have
told police authorities.
She had rented two rooms at the
Harrisburg Storage Company several
days ago, in the name of Mrs. Ross

By George Bernard Shaw.
 It is only few weeks after the armistice, we have hardly. got over the habit of dancing promiseuously with everybody we meet in the street, when we suddenly find that there is a loud outcry in America to build a larger fleet than the British fleet. This hope will bring home to the British people the fact that, now that Germany is defeated, England, the British empire, has succeeded to a very terrible inheritance-thep posi- ton of being the most dreaded armed power; and it behooves us to walk with extreme care, because, as, surely as the use Germany made of her power led to her downfall, or rather to the downfall of the party in Ger many which made use of her position so surely will our downfall follow if we allow our armed supremacy to be used as it was used in Germany; and there are plenty of people in this country who want to use it that way.
 We do not get very much from the politicians. MT Lloyd George ;ays that he wants an honest gov ernment and I am rather struck by that. If man came up to me in the street and said: "I beg your p don will you please understand that I am not pickpocket?" I should1ook after my watch, because it would at once occur to me, Why shouldr he think I have supposed him to Ne a pickpocket?"
 I assume a government of Enalish gentlemen is honest until they GQye that they are notwwhfch they some times do, by the way. But when the leader of party comes up and prac- tically declares that he is specifically and extraordinarily honest, and that what he wants is an honest govern ment, I rather want to know more about that government.
 For instance: If we are going. to be very honest and straightforward

government; would it not be rather nice thing if we were to make lit- tie display of our honesty and sincer- ity before Europe? Now in Russia, after the Revolution, the Russians published their Foreign Office Cor
 respondence. What have the Ger
 mans done in Bavaria? They have
 published their Foreign Office Cor
 respondence without regard appar-
 ently to the effect on the public opin- ion of Europe. I wonder whether MT
 Lloyd George would entertain the
 suggestion that we publish our For
 eign Office Correspondence before the
 war?
 Iwould also like to ask MT Lloyd George: Are we at war with Russia or are we not? If we are at war with Russia, on which side are we at war? If, as probable the statesmen of the
 Coalition should reply: "We are at war with Russia, on the side of the law and order" I should say thank you, That is your name for the Count
 CT Revolution. I thoroughly under
 stand which side you are on, and l
 am on the other
 Also I would like to ask the Coali- ton whether they have altered lh

 the advance which Republicanism
 has made in Europe, or whether it is trying practically to restore the thrones as they were restored in 184S.

ing blood to pay the billssana them then the storm broke.
 This war was war. It was no child's play, no flash in the pan; no game among amateurs-but struggle among battle hosts that had been pre- pairing for half century. The pre- paredness of Europe brought on 9 war more fearful than any of which history bears a record.
 Then the shepards betrayed their fleck.
 All through the years-the bitter years of exploitation and outrage - they had preached brotherhood and talked democracy. God was the father of us all and we as hrcthren must dwell together in, peace upon the earth. They told us to love one another and to overcome evil with good They cor manded us to to to others as we sor Id have others do to us.
 The preachers, teachers. editors, and lawyers did not know about eco homie determinism. They did not understand that when convictions are placed on one side of the balance, and income, socal position, and reputa- tion for resLectability" arc placed on the other, the great majority oi men and women will forget convic- tion and stick to income. These many years they had taken their living from the hands of the plutocracy-- the wealth power of the United States ;e s.. When the great hour came, the plutocracy gave the well known cal and they responded.
 They were: hlind-these leaders oi ours. They did not understand life They mixed up the true and the false unable to tell them apart.
