Will They Be Represented
in Conferences to Be Held
in Washington?
WOMEN EXPECTED
FROM ABROAD
American Delegation - Thought
American Federation of Labor Will
Have Some Women Delegates.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Serious
consideration is being given in official
circles in Washington to the question of
representation of women workers in
both the national labor conference
called by President Wilson to meet on
Oct. 6, and the international labor con
ference also called by the President I'M
der a provision of the peace treaty, to
meet on Oct. %. The recognition given
to women in the two conferences is ex-
pected to be test of the permanencv
of the industrial advancement made by
women during the war.
President Wilson is leaving the selec-
ton of all but Is of the representatives
to the national conference to the various
labor business and agricultural organi-
cations which he invited to send repre-
sentatives. The Is persons the Presi-
dent will select to represent the public
at large may include women, but no
authoritative statement to this effect is
Forthcoming at this time The Presi-
dent is being aided by several cabinet
members in making up his list.
So far as the organizations are con-
cerned, it is not thought that any but
the American federation of labor will
select women representatives. The agri
cultural organizations have only one
representative each and presumably will
send men. The manufacturers. invest

FRANCE BLOCKS RUSSIAN ACTION.

j. w. T. Mason, who writes expert opinions on war
and foreign political subjects for the United Press thinks
that failure of the Allies plan bring about conference
between the rival Russian factions to date due to the
influence Of France which has inspired the conservative
forces in Russia to refuse to participate in the proposed
Princes Islands discussion.
One more step has thus been taken to continue the
division Of sentiment between Russia and the western
democraces and to encourage the Germans to plot for
future Russo German alliance Neither the French states
men who have so strongly criticized the Princes Islands
meeting nor the conservative Russians, who have reject
ed the idea have made any counter proposals. except to
urge America and Great Britain to send armies into Rus
sa to overthrow the bolshevik
This solution has been proposed exclusively in the IN
terest of Russa foreign creditors and those domestic
factions that cannot find support for their doctrines
within Russia itself Neither America nor Great Britain
will consent to declaring upon Russia for such pur
poses as these.
renewed effort, therefore will have to be made to
bring about an understanding between the western
nations and the boshevi the policy OF solatng Rus

fruitful attitude the western nations could assume for
Germanys benefit 1t will be impossible for Russia to be
ostraczed long after the peace conference adJourns
Thereafter if the allies continue to sit by in lofty con-
tempt of the Slavs the formation of rival League OF
Nations" with the socalistic government of Germany
will become Russia's aim. How continental Europe can
oppose an alliance of this character has not been explain
ed by the statesmen of France such union OF forces
is permitted to occur it will be of the most supen
dous diplomatic blunders in modern history probably
