WHICAGO, Sept. 2.-Three hundred representatives of the left wing faction of the national socialist party which recently withdrew from the parent body, today organized the communist labor party of America and adopted the emblem of the soviet republic Of Russia with the motto: Workers of the world unite The emblem consists of a scythe and a hammer surrounded by a wreath of wheat. A suggestion that a torch be added to the emblem was voted down.
 Delegate Zimmerman of Indiana led minority who wanted the new organ ization christened the independent so- cialist party, but his suggestion was overwhelmingly defeated.
 q think the word communist will strike terror to the American workman and we cannot succeed in this move ment without this clement said Dele gate Zimmerman. T will go as far in the revolutionary movement as any man in this hall but I think it unwise to adopt this name. We know that this country is not yet ripe for the revolution. If it was, the name com munits would be all right"
 Speakers in urging the adoption of the name declared that the term so- cialist had been discredited and that the word communist fittingly expressed the revolutionary objects of the new political party.

 One of the first acts of the new party was to approve a plan for a tober to compel the resease of Tom Mooney, Eugene V. Debs and other al- legged class war prisoners.
 The new party claims to have repre- sentatives from every state in the un- ion attending it's convention. It was decided to use photographic records of the international and other Rus sian soviet songs to spread the propa- ganda.
 Among the resolutions adopted was one demanding the immediate with drawal of American troops from Rus sia and Hungary.
 The communist group of ultra radi- calls recently expelled from the national social party, which is meeting here expects to form another political party before it finally adjourns at the end of the week. This faction consists of foreign language socialists and other radicals who regarded the parent body and the left wing factions too con- servative.

WILSON II GALL FERENCE IF
 FOUR FRACTIONS
Labor Leaders, Financiers,
 Manufacturers and Farm CTS Invited to Attend Big Meet Early in October = Will Discuss Problems of Labor = Labor Direction
[RepubIIoan A. P. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON. Sept 2 - Before leaving Washington tomorrow night on his speech-making tour of the country, President Wilson will issue invitations to labor leaders, financiers. manufacturers and farmers to attend a conference early in October for con sideration of the problems of labor and of those who direct labor.
 The president, it also was learned, plans to complete all arrangements for the conference before his departure so that the meeting may be held inn mediately upon his return the last of this month. The first session of the conference probably will be held at the White house.'
 The entire labor situation and also arrangements for the conference were understood to have been discussed at today,s cabinet meeting. It was pre- sumed that the plan to invite farmers representatives was agreed upon by the cabinet.
 Final arrangements for the presi dents swing around the circle" were about completed today. Accompany ing President Wilson will be Mrs. Will son, Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson. personal physician to the president; Secretary Tumulty, a corps of steno- graphers, secret service men and some thirty correspondents representing the press associations and leading metro politan newspapers
 The president has scheduled thirty set speeches in the principal cities of the west and south. and it is presumed he will be compelled to deliver short platform speeches at smaller towns along the route.
 The first speech will be at Columbus, Ohio, Thursday morning, and the last at Louisville, Ky. September 29. The president will return to Washington the next days
 The presidential train will be com posed of the presidents private car, another for the stenographers and secret service men, and one for the correspondents, also a dining car and baggage car. Along the entire route a pilot engine will be run ahead as a precautionary measure against acci- dents and other eyentualities. The train schedule will not be made public until 1t has been fulfilled city after city
 Members of the party will live on the train practically during the 27 days of the trip, only few overnight stops being planned.
 In preparation for the exacting task before him, the president has made only the most necessary appointments during the past few days and has spent most of his time in resting and recreation.

CHICAGO, Sept IA resolution proposing that the prohibition party have no connections with the so- called world work" was rejected late today by the national committee of the party after a headted debate. In it's stead was introduced a resolution that individual members of ,.8e party give assistance in the world prohibition work through the instrumentality of the prohibition foundation. The foun- dations is an organization composed of members of the prohibition party.
 The national committee adjourned it's two day meeting without outlining a definite policy for the future of the party. It adopted a resolution author izing national convention at time and place to be determined by the ex- ecutive committee. Speakers said it should be understood that the conven- tion would be held subsequent to the conventions of the republicans and democrats and that action taken by the prohibitionists would be deter mined to large extent by the courses pursued by the two larger parties.
 A resolution was aoopyed recom- mending that the party unite with other parties flor the good of the cause
 Hewson L. Peele, of Sandusky, Ohio chairman of the subcommittee on resolutions whose report during opposi ton to participation in European pro- hibition battles was rejected, led the fight in the committee against the amendment which was adopted.
 What right have we 50 go to other countries and interefer in their do- mestic questions. he demanded. 'It is internal impertinence on our part
 Another tilt developed in the com mittee meeting over a proposal favor ing a prohibitive tax on liquors should demobilization be declared complete and saloons permitted to reopen dur ing the interim between war time pro- hibition and constitutional prohibition It was urged by members that such action would lay the committee open to the charge of sponsoring licensing of the liquor traffic through taxation. The resolution as adop,ed urged Rep resentative Charles S. Randall of Cali fornia, the only member of the prohi- bition party in congress to persist in his work until all necessary enforce ment legislation be adopted to put into operation the constitutional amend ment" and to urge prohibitive tax should the ban on liquor be lifted.

peared in the Associated Press dis patches. This telegram follows in full and also the letter of the committee to the president, urging the legislation proposed in the Kendrick- Kenyon bills:
 Letter to the President
 The President, White House,
 Washington. D. c.
 My Dear MT President. Having previously offered our services to as- sist you in your efforts to bring about a reduction in the cost of living, we herewith present certain concrete sug- gestions which we trust may prove of value.
 As members of the market commit tee of the American National Livestock Association, and on behalf of a large portion of the organized livestock producers in the country, we beg to as sure you of our desire to assist in the nationwide movement to check waste, speculation and profiteering, and thereby reduce the cost of living All information which the market com mittee has gathered since it's organiza- tion in January, 1916 for the purpose of improving marketing conditions. it at your disposal.
 We recognize that the steadily mounting cost of living is a most seri- ous menace to our national welfare and largely the cause of industrial dis content. As meat and meat products constitute a large percentage of this living cost. we offer for your consid- eration. the following definite sugges- tions for improvement:
 First: Prompt action by congress providing for a constructive plan for just and thoroughgoing federal control of the packing industry, which shall maintain the efficiency of this greatest of our national industries, but shall prevent in future such misuse of the enormous, rapidly growing and con centrated financial power of the group of five great packers as the investi- gations of the Federal Trade Commis- sion show have occurred in the past. That this small group have today practically a monopoly of the nations meat supply and are rapidly extending their control to other food products, has now been proven beyond question. We advocate neither revolutionary nor destructive policies, but call for the prompt enactment by congress of such reasonable, effective and definite legislation as shall positively prevent manipulation, hoarding or speculation in meat and other essential food pro- ducts; shall provide for the regula- tion and control by license of the pack CTS under the administration of the secretary of agriculture, an impartial agency assuring fair treatment to producer, packer and consumer alike; shall prevent packers control of all food products; shall provide for mar keting places to be treated as pubic

RAILS SHOW FIRST
 SURPLUS OF YEAR IN U. 5. CONTROL

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-For the first time in many months, govern ruent operations of the railroads in July showed surplus instead Of a deficit.
 Director General Hines an- nounced today that preliminary figures of the months business in- dicated a net operating income of ST ,000, ,o0o.. After allowing one twelfth of the annual rental due the railroad companies, the net gain is about s2,ooo,o0o as com pared with a deficit of $22.0t,0 900 the preceding month and S65, 900, 900 in February, the largest deficit of the year. The net loss to the gov ernment for seven months is s290,- 526.3o7.
 In calculating the surplus, how- ever, no account was taken of the wage increase offered the shopmen and which has not yet been accept ed by them. It has been estimated that the 4 cents an hour advance would amount to about S45, 900, 900 a year and as it is retroactive, the surplus for July may become a deficit of approximately the same amount.

 LARGELYFRAUDs
Evidence Introduced at the Hearing to Show That Many Who Testified Made Misrepresentations Conflict as to Motives of Such Men.

WASHINGTON, Sept 2.-Plans for governmental operation of the plants and distributing systems of the .big five" packers during the war received serious consideration, but were dropped vixen majority of special commit tee reporting on the subject to Presi- cent Wilson rejected the proposal. ,t was developed today before the senate agriculture committee.
 M. Sanson, a Texas cattle man who served on the committee as a repre- sentative of the agriculture depart ment, appearing at the hearings to oppose passage of the Kenyon and Kendrick bills for the federal regula- sion of the packing industry, referred casually to the subject and senate members, overcoming Mir Sansom $ objections to discussing the matter bs- cause the president had not published the report, questioned him until they got the full story.
 Probe Industry
 After the federal trade commission made it's rencrt upon the packing sit uation. a committee was appointed tJ go into the subject for the president which had cn it representatives of the agricultural department, the food ad- ministration, labor department and the interstate commerce commission. Sansom said. They put me on for the agricultural department, because l was suppo sed to know about stock : yards and cattle handling. After we vert into it pretty thoroughly we al : yided up.
 Two of the committee, representa- tives of tn. Labor department and the federal tra ie commission, voted to take over the plants, but the balance of IS were against t. The trade commission representative seemed to be pretty severe at the time for prosecuting the Tackers.n
 You say they were prosecutors ?' Senator Ransdeil, democrat, Louisiana, inquired.
 Well I hardly meant that" Samson responded. They were prejudiced perhaps because of their investiga- tions"
 Has Novel Solution
 MT. Samson in opposing the regula tory bills, alsd developed an entirely novel solution for the high prices of meat problem.
 My investigation has convinced mo that the large packer hasn't gone as far with the meat and food business as he ought to go" he said. .TThey ought to carry the meat straight through to the consumer and cut out the retailer. They could do it better and cheaper I've found that 1t takes from 50 to 100 per cent increase to get the meats through the butcher shop.
 If the packers did the retail busi- ness with more efficiency, fewer shops, and we got complaints on high prices as we are getting now, it would be a simple matter to find out then who was profiteering. .
 A conflict as to the motives of wit nesses who have appeared during the hearing was precipitated carly in the
