That the members of the Fight

lationship between capital and labor
and putting the whole question OF
wages upon another footing
More than this, the president is
known to believe that on the outcome
of the conference tocay depends i'll a
great measure the security and hap
piness OF the United States, both in
ternally and internationally.
First, what the conference does
will have an effect on the high cost
OF living. If capital and labor can
reach basis OF harmonious action,
the president has made plain, produc-
ton Will increase, and this will bring
down prices Furthermore, capital
will be more ready to undertake new
enterprises both at home and abroad.
Second, what decisions the con-
ference reaches will have determin-
ing effect on whether there is to be
a constant recurrence of strikes that
have followed one another since the
signing Of the arm1stice. Unless
they do end, we'll Informed officials
here believe this country is facing an
upheaval that will shake every ma
ton on the glabe.
Third, out OF the conference, the
president hopes, will come the begin
nings OF the characterization of in
dustry. a thing when the president
has declared must come. He has
never explained the phrase in detail
but briefly it is taken as meaning
that he believes the workers must
have a larger share in the manage
nlent of enterprises.
Those, broadly, are the three
things it is hoped to bring from the
meeting that opened today.
Many Important Issues.
Some of the specific question:
which will be before the delegates
are the strike Of steel workers, thu
postponed strike of railroad shop
men, the scores of smaller strike
that are in progress now, the Plum
plan for naturalization of railroad
all problems which enter into tn
present critical industrial situation
While it is known that the presi
dent has had in mind for some tim
the calling Of an industrial confer
ence, the situation brought about b
demands Of the railroad and stee
men brought the call for it on Labo
day. 1t met with approval Of labo
leaders.
The president named % repre-
sentatives OF the public. Most c
these men are either looked upon a
members of the employed or employ
ing class. Twenty-Five other repre-
sentatives were named by the Chan
Der of Commerce of the Unite
States, the American Federation {
Labor. investment bankers and far1
organizations.
In his invitations to the confe
ence, as in his original call for /
the president emphasized that it WI
for the development of new rel
tionship between capital and labor.
Delegates who assembled tods

aud In Pittsburgh. In some instances
companies will not make an attempt
to start up until sufficient men in
dicate their desire to return to work
to operate plants properly.
The Jones & Laughlin works OF
Pittsburgh have been badly crippled
BY the strike, more SO than company
officials admit, according to strike
headquarters today. Union leaders
claim that only 2 cars Of finished
steel are being turned out daily
while the normal output is 1875 cars.
This information was obtained from
reports furnished headquarters by
union trainmen, it was stated.
The strike zone in the Pittsburgh
district was quiet Sunday. A few
meetings We're held.
Strikers are looking toward Wash

this week. Tonight the steel work.
ers' national committee will meet
with the executive council of the
American Federation of Labor to
discuss strike finances.
Approximately 200 sw it c h i n &
crews in the Mahoming valley district

strike, ii was announced at union
headquarters tonight.
Secretary Foster said he would be
in Washington today to attend
the meeting of international presi-
dents.

IRRIGATION SYSTEM
In MESILLA VALLEY
Is BEING IMPROVED

10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL tEestD WINE
Las Cruces. N. NJ, Feb. 20.-A
number of important improvements
\are being made on the irrigation sys-
tenn here this year. Among these
may be mentioned the syphon under
the Rio Grande river in the Rincon
valley. This rather remarkable feat
Of irrigation engineering was found
necessary for the reason that several
hundred acres of valuable lands on
the west side, which on account of
hills above running down to the riv-
err, could not be reached by a canal
directly from the river. Sufficient
height could not be reached on the
east side, however. and a concrete
syphon was laid under the river dis
lance of something over 500 feet
which would bring the water to the
required level.
Construction work is now about tc
start on flume for the same purpose
in the Mesilla valley. The structure
will be of concrete and steel and will
carry waited to the Percacho district
west of Las Cruces.
The Ieashurg diversion dam is alst
now being built higher by pour'nl
