PRESIDENT CALLS new
INDUSTRIAL CONGRESS-
Invites Seventeen Representa-
tive Men to Draft Policies
for Capital and Labor.

WashingtOn.-New industrial con-
ference has been called by President
Wilson to meet here son December l.
to take the place of the congress which
collapsed recently over the question
Of collective bargaining and settle
ment Of the steel strike The President
named seventeen new conferees, who
were not chosen on the basis of their
representation on the three distinction
groups of the last cOnference-capital
labor and the public. They are: Sec
retary of Labor William b. Wilson;
former Attorney General r. w. Greg
ory, New York city; former Attorney
General George w. Wlckersham. New
York city; Oscar 5. Straus, New York
city; Henry NJ. Robinson, Pasadena,
Cal; Prof Frank w. Taussig. Cotuit.
Mass. Samuel w. Mccall, Boston
Herbert Hoover, New York city;
Martin II. Glynn, Albany; Henry c.
Stuart, Elk Garden, Va. w o. Thomp-
son, president OF Ohio State Univer-
sity, Columbus, o.; Richard Hooker,
the Springfield Republican, Spring
field, Mass. George T. Slade, st. Paul,
~
Owen ID. Young, New York city; II.
j. Waters Manhattan, Kan, and
Stanley King, Boston.
President Wilson sent the following
letter TO each of the new conferees I'm
inviting them to take part in the eff
fort to establish more satisfactory re-
latiOns between capital and labor:
"In accordance with the suggestion
given me by the public group OF the
recent Industrial Conference. / am call
ing a new body together to carry on
this vitality important work, l trust
you will give me the pleasure of nam
ing you as one of It's members.
Guided by the experience OF the
last conference, / have thought Il ad-
visable that I'm this new body there
should be no recognition Of distinctive
groups, but that all Of the new repre-
sentatives should have concern that
our industries may be conducted with
such regard for Justice and fair deal
ing that the workman will feel him
self induced to put forth his best ef-
fort that the employer will have an
encouraging profit, and that the public
will not suffer at the hands Of either
class 1t is my hope that this confer
ence may lay the foundation for the
development OF standards and ma
chinery within our Industries by
which these results may be attained.
1T is not expected that you will
deal directly with any condition which
exists today, but that you may be
fortunate enough to find such ways MS
will avoid the repetition of these de-
plOrable conditions"

LODGE PLANS PEACE
over WILSON'S HEAD
Concurrent Resolution Would Not
Require Presidents Sig
nature.

Washington.-Earl action on the
resolution declaring the state of war
with Germany at an end was prom
ised by Republican leaders of Sthe
senate and house.
1t is the purpose of Senator Lodge
to bring the resolution to a vote I'm the
senate in the opening days of the next
session, which begins Monday, Decem-
ber l. 1t is believed that a majority
for the resolution can be obtained in
both houses, as there is strong senti-
ment in favor of ending the war with
out waiting for another six months OF
debate on the treaty
Before the resolution is reported TO
the senate by the Foreign Relations
Committee, however, it will be
changed from n concurrent to a Joint
resolution, so that If passed # will
require the signature of the President
before becoming effective
When first proposed the resolution
was drafted as a concurrent resolution
in order that Congress might declare
the war at an end without any action
by the President. But the sentiment
now prevailing among Republicans
senator's Is that it should be made a
Joint resolution so that the President
may either sign it or face charges OF
responsibility for the continuance OF
the war by giving it his veto.
In the meantime, it is expected that
the treaty will be re-submitted to the
senate by the President either with
suggested reservations or with a re-
newal Of the request for ratification
without reservation or amendment, in
a Presidential message The treaty
Will go again to the Foreign Relations
Committee, where its status will be
