LABOR CONFERENCE
CALLED By WILSON
WILL BE HELD IN WASHINGTON
UNDER TERMS OF WORLD
PEACE TREATY.
MEETING TO START OCT. 20
VIII Be Annual Affair-Four Outstand.
ing Sociological Problems To Be
Consideration Delegates
From Each County.

Observation-Disclosures Wilson has
issued a call for an international con
ference in Washington for Oct. 20
A provision for such a conference
was included in the treaty of peace,
but in view of present circumstances
the capital may have the spectacle Of
an international labor conference
held in the United States, but minus
American representatives. This will
hinge entirely on whether or not the
treaty is ratified by this date. The
Senate, by resolution, gave the presi-
dent authority to call the conference,
but inserted proyiso preventing him
from naming any American delegates
unless the peace treaty had been rati
fled in the meantime, The situation
may, therefore, resolve itself, provid
ing American labor has any great de,
sire to be represented in the confer
ence to the application OF additional
pressure on the Senate to ratfy the
treaty, according to views expressed
today.
Each government represented at the
conference, which rs expected to in.
clude q delegate from each govern
ment, with the exception Of enemy
countries, which signed the peace
treaty, will have four delegates. One
will represent labor, another capital
and two others the state.
Four outstanding issues are slated
for discussion at the first conference.
They are:
First-Universal application of the
principle OF the eight-hour day.
ond-Government aid in connec.
ton with the worlds unemployment
situation.
Third-safeguards for women in in
dustry.
Fourth-Protectio Of children in
industry-those above IA years of age,
No other proposals are expected to
20 JdbeH up at inc lHlIldl lueelIhB,
but the programmes for the succeed
ing year will include whatever mat.
tiers the delegates wish to introduce
Tor future consideration. But because
the international labor conference
will ber.z IS sessions in few weeks
after the national conference called
for early October TO consider plan
for the characterization of the rail
roads, it was suggested that the
Plumb plan may be introduced for
consideration the ensuing year
The Department OF Labor will act
as the presidents representative in
making arrangements for the confer
ence

CONVICTION IN BING HAMP TON
Palmer Is of Opinion That Few Con,
victions in Each State VIII
Have Effect of Ending
ProfIteering. 90.

Washington. Important new de-
velopments in the governments fight
to reduce the high cost of living are
coming rapidly.
One Of the most interesting was the
announcement by Attorney General
Palmer that the first federal convic-
ton for profiteering had been obtain
ed. District Attorney Lucey tele-
graphed from Binghamton, N. Y, that
retail grocer. had been fined $500
for selling sugar at 15c pound. No
details were given and the law under
which the case was brought was not
known here.
"a few good cases Of profiteering
in each state will settle that trou-
ble," Mr. Palmer remarked.
In order to bring to book persons
guilty Of raising prices exorbitantly
or boarding food to advance prices,
Mr.. Palmer submitted to the agricul-
ture committee Of congress the draft
of an amendment to the food control
DOT extending its provisions to cloth
ing and containers of foods and feeds
and providing penalty Of $4,000 fine
or two years Imprisonment or both
for violation of the law, Chairman
fIaugen of the house committee an
nounced that the amendment would
be considered Immediately,
1t is Mr. Palmer's idea that this
amendment should be considered be-
fore taking up other amendments
suggested by President Wilson to ex-
tend the effective life Of the food
control act beyond the war period.
Reports Of excessive stocks of food
in storage have been received from
at least six states, the attorney gen
eral said. He declined to be more
specific, but it was indicated that
New Jersey was one of the states.
Storage conditions also are engag-
ing the attention of the state food
administrations, several of whom have
asked if they were authorized to pub
lish the facts where it appeared that
more food was being held from the
public than the reasonable require
ments of a dealer demanded,

nounced decisively. 81 am interested

The evidence in hand, Attorney-Gen,
Bral Palmer declared, indicated "a

Whether the prosecutions would be
civil or criminal the encouragement
declined to stats, merely recalling that
the law provided for both.
THE public" said the commission's
report had to pay prices for shoes
that not only could not be justified be-
cause retail shoe dealers took too much
profit but because the dealer had to
pass on to the consumer the excessive

 never strike exactly the right medi- cine to fit her case, even though I've
 spent lot of money for medicine and doctor bills. No matter how careful
 she was about her food, it disagreed
 with her just the same, always form

 kept medicine in the house all the time for this trouble. Her kidneys
 frequently forced her to get up sev era1 times during the night.
 "She has now taken two bottles of Cinot and her improvement Is as founding. Her bowels act regularly; kidneys seem to be all right again, and she eats big, hearty meals and digests them with comfort; never has any gas in her stomach, nor head aches, either. I'm very happy over her improved health, for we have just bought a new home and now we can enjoy it to the fullest extent" Cinot Is made from the juices and extracts Of many herbal plants. which act on the vital organs promptly and pleasantly.

 Madame Rask olnikoff was obvious ly very concerned, and welcomed her visitor. who had taken with him a letter from her husband. Having read the epistle the lady forthwith under took to use all her influence to obtain the required exchange of prisoners. and within three weeks the wife of the Bolsheyik First Sea Lord was able to place in the hands of the Brit ish agent documents given under the signatures and seals of both Lenine and Trotsky, authorizing the ex- change.
 Elated with the success, the Brit ish agent made his way home, and before his arrival in this country of fcial intimation Was received from Moscow that the Bolsheviks were ready to make the desired exchange of prisoners. A few days ago Sub Lieutenant Raskolnikoff and his Sec retary Aide de-Camp said farewell to Brixton Prison, and in company of Scotland Yard officers and special service naval officers they sailed fer Helsingfers to await the arrlval anu handing over the British subjects, who have been so brutally ill-treated by the Bolsheviks.

Favor Extension of
 Capitol Avenue

Appearing in favor of the extension of Capitol avenue east to Lindley street from it's present terminus at
 Main street, Attorney Samuel Reich told the Common Council at the pub lie hearing held last night, the project
 could be put through at a nominal cost. He said the city would be re- imbursed for the outlay within three
 years by the addition to the grand list that would be brought about by the extension.
 Several citizens appeared in favor of this project and there were no ob-
 1ections.
 It was pointed out that Capitol ave- nue is three-fourths of a mile above North avenue and that up to that point from North avenue there is no
 thoroughfare east of Main street.
