Feels Public Section of Late
Industrial Conference

SOME DELEGATES
Do NOT APPROVE
Think They Should Garry Out Presi-
dents Wishes-American Iron and
Steel Men Unanimously Endorse
Gary's Stand.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-John D.
Rockefeller, jr., chairman of the commit
tee appointed to determine the future
course of the public representatives who
now alone constitute the national induss
trial conference, suggested today that a
report be made to President Wilson that
the conference was bankrupt and urging
the appointment of Commission on
unrest" to take up the work of the con-
ference. His suggestion did not meet
with the approval of some of the public
delegates who held that the President
desired them to continue the work OF
seeking some basis of agreement for in
dustrial peace over the country.
Mr.. Rockefeller's position was that
the public delegates. having participated
in the full conference, would be handi.
capped by public opinion and that an en-,
tirely new body should be created.
Edward n. Hurley, former chairman OF
the shipping board, who called at the
White House today to inquire as to the
Presidents health, approved the stand
taken by organized labor in withdrawing
| from the conference. Il do not see how
Mr.. Gompers could have done anything
different" Mr.. Hurley said He did tn,
best thing from his standpoint, and prob
ably the best thing for the country"
Immediate dissolution of the publ,
group, the remaining element of the ma
tional industrial conference is proposed
in recommendation of the committe,
of five is to be made to the public groul
this afternoon. Should the recommends
tion be adopted the conference would en-,
tonight.
The committee also framed tentativ
report for submission to President vii
son outlining the work of the conferene
up to the time the representatives of or
panied labor withdrew.
