most vexing problems in the nations
industries have been laid at the first

Each of the groups, practically the
employers and labor representatives,
have outlined their attitudes in pro-
posals laid before the conference.
Next week. it was said today, the
work of assimilating these proposals
would be started. This is the task
for which the conference was called
by President Wilson.
Despite the wide divergence be-
tween the proposals of. the employers
and those of labor, delegates repre-
be far from discouraged. 1t had been
expected that the initial propositions
would be far apart but with the pub
lice representatives acting as a bal
ance wheel another week, in the
opinion of those most active in the
conference will see the two opposing
factions approaching a common
meeting ground.

Wilson, who presided over Superior
Court here, the Juvenile Court will
aot prove a success in this state, and
Judge Conner says that he is afraid,
and much so, that the lawmakers at
Raleigh had gone little too far in
having these courts established.
Judge Conner expressed his opinion
IF the juvenile court bills provision
touching upon the under sixteen
years Of age clause, and stated that a
large per cent of the criminal cases
tried by the Superior Court judges
were composed of young men of about
sixteen years of age who had violated
the law seriously, from murder on
down the line of petty offenses. Judge
Conner further contends that it is
unwise to turn young men of this
age loose, who had committed serious
offenses upon decent society without
adequate punishment, and with a mild
reprimand and a sort of guardian or
protectorate. He also stated that un-
der the new law even murderer who
Is under 16 years ~of age cannot be
tried in Superior Court, and predicts
