ENTIRE WRECK
OF CONFERENCE
Public's Group Declared a
Sine Die Adjournment
Last Night
AND RECOMMENDED
SMALL COMMITTEE
To Consider the Relation
ship Between Labor
and Capital

Washington, d. c., Oct. 2J.-Out of
the wreck of the national industrial
conference there would arise small
committee, representative of all inter
ests and entrusted with the task of
bringing about new relationship be-
tween capital and labor, should Presi-
dent Wilson adopt the recommends
tions of the public group in the recent
gathering.
After voting to declare the industrial
conference adjourned sine die, the pub
lie group, the last remaining unit in the
recent conference, last night, through
its chairman, laid before President
Wilson a report asserting that despite
its abrupt termination the conference
was not without beneficial results and
predicting the spirit manifested dur
ing the l3 days Of its sesson augurcd
well for Americas industrial future.
The public group in its report en-
phasized that the right of collective
bargaining the rock on which the con
ference was wrecked-was neither re-
iected by the conference nor opposed by
any single group. The difficulty over
that issue, the report points out, arose
alone over the method Of making col
lectiye bargaining effective. This diff
Guilty even could have been surmount
ed, the group believes, had the problem
been approached in Il different way
With a view of treating the question
of collective bargaining as a part of a
comprehensive and Systematically de-
yeloped program, the group puts for
ward the proposal for a creation of a
small committee. After receiving the
report of this committee, the public
delegates suggested that ii might be
advisable to call another large CON
ference TO give practical effect to the
committees recommendations
There was no ihtimation as to the
course the president would pursue, he
not having been Uniformed Of the groups

DRY" ENFORCEMENT
Bill Has Not Been Put Before the Pres

Of Overtaxing His Strength.

Washington, d. G., Oct 25 Should
President Wilson's condition continue

thought Rear Admiral Grayson would

House yesterday, but was withheld for
fear of overtaxing the presidents en-
ergy in view Of the other questions de-
manding his attention. Previously the
president had shown an eagerness to 90
into the study Of the prohibition en-
forcement bill and it doubtless will be
the next executive object brought to
his attention.

The Frnch government had procured for them small quarters of two rooms But the Red Cross saw that these two people just recovered from their ill., ness, with three young children, could not be comfortable in such close quarters, and so they procured for them a comfortable establishment of five rooms. The husband was able to do no heavy work, as he had been wounded three times in the abdomen
 So he was fitted up with a car penter's bench and tools and a couple of dogs and a small express wagon. He would go into the woods and bring back branches and small trees, and from them he would make rustic furniture which he sold to good ad- vantage.
