Admission of German
and Austrian Delegates
Before Conference
By Associated Press

Washington, Oct 2S.-The ques-
ton of the admission of German and
Austrian delegates with full powers
to the International Labor Confer
ence which opens here tomorrow
was before the organizing commit
tee of the conference to-day Mem
bers of the committee reflecting the
views of the representatives from the
seven powers represented, it was
said, favor granting full membership
to the delegates.
The committee planned to dispose
of this question before completion of
organization of the conference to in
sure the participation of Germans
and Austrians from the start.
Secretary Wilson announced re-
Gently that If sufficient number of
nations had not ratified the Peace
Treaty by the date set for the con-
ference to open an adjournment
would be taken, but it was said to-
day he now was in substantial agree
ment with the organizing committee
that the question of the technical
validity of the acts of the conference
should be waved at this time. 1t is
anticipated, therefore, that there will
be no interruption of the sessions.
Hope is entertained in some quar-
ters that way may yet be found

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back It's
Natural Color, Gloss and
Attractiveness

Common garden sage brewed into
a heavy tea with sulphur added will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luXuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a reve-
1ation If your hair is fading, streaked
or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and
Sulphur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to
get bottle of Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound at any drug
store all ready for use. This IS the
old-time recipe, improved by the ad-
dition of other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is
not sinful, we all desire to retain
our youthful appearance and at
tractiveness. BY darkening your
hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound, no one can tell, because
it does so naturally, SO evenly. You
just dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning all gray hairs have
disappeared, and, after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy, soft and
luxuriant.

THE A. F. OF L. STANDS
BACK OF PLUMB PLAN

There have been a number of in
quiries as to how the American
Federation Of Labor stands on the
Plumb Plan for Government own
ership and operation of the rail-
roads. Here is the answer:
In Atlantic City the Executive
Council Of the American Federation
of Labor reported to the convention
in favor of public ownership. In ad-
dition to this the report of the spe-
cial committee on reconstruction,
which was adopted, declares for
public ownership, regulation or
control. There also was introduced
in the convention a resolution
agreed upon by the railroad unions
endorsing the tri-party plan of OPP
Grafton known as the Plumb
plan This, together with the
section of the Executive Councils
report under the heading Of Rail
road Operation" was considered by
the convention, with the result
that the Executive Council was in
structed to cooperate with the or
CARNATIONS representing the rail-
road employees in working out this
problem.

THE PROFITEERS'
CAMPAIGN OF
INTIMIDATION

A very systematic campaign is
being conducted through the col
umns of the small town and country
newspapers, by the beneficiaries Of
the present profiteering system, to
intimidate the members of the
Grange. This campaign is not only
being conducted through the col
umns of a servile press, but there
has been injected into the mem
bership of the Grange men whose
sole object is to preach this propa-
ganda within the Order at the be-
hest of their employers. Many
good, loyal Grange farmers have
been intimidated to such an extent
that they are, in some instances,
fearful to exercise their right Of
franchise in an effort to better
their conditions.
II is not fair to the Grange to let
this unfair propaganda go unchal-
lenged
In the first place, the Grange
was born of political necessity. To
keep it from partisan political en-
tanglements, its constitution de-
clares 1t to be non-partisan and
non -sectarian. This is right and is
as 1t should be. disappearing
the language of the constitution,
the agents Of the special-privilege-
seeking corporations have welded
a powerful club over the member
ship in the past and have succeed
ed for years in controlling the farm
vote by keeping it Split" against
its own best interests.

CO-0PS COOPERATE
WITH UNION LABOR

The producers and consumers of
Great Britain have at last conclud-
ed that the only way-reasonable,
peaceful and powerful-to combat
exploiters of labor and profiteering
in the products of labor is to do the
business of making and handling
the products of labor themselves.
To accomplish this most desirable
end the trades unions and CO.
operative societies have amalgamat-
ed and joined forces. The steady
progress of unionism and the rapid
growth in recent years of CO.
operation have caused the world to
sit up and take notice.
One of those who took notice
was a special correspondent of the
New York Tribune who recently
sent his paper an exclusive story on
British cooperation, from which
the following brief paragraphs are
quoted:
THE great trade union movement
in Britain, with it's 100000 mem
bers. has decided to join forces with
the Union of British Cooperative
Societies, with a membership of
about 100000, in order to domin-
ate production. consumption and dis
tribution in Britain.
This amalgamation VAL repre-
sent the greatest business combina-
ton in history. It will dwarf, in
power, if not in funds, the gigantic
Federation Of British Industries,
with its capital of 100000, 900.
The new combination is organ
lied to fight such organizations as
the British Federation. In its inter
national aspect the combined trade
union and cooperative movements
will be the greatest enemy of big
business interests throughout the
world.
I'm Britain alone the combined
unions would include nearly three
quarters of the inhabitants. If the
organizers have their way # will be
invincible in the industrial field.
1T is estimated that after allow
ing for overlapping Of membership
the combined movements control H.
100000 adult members. Close on
1000 600 families would support the
trust and each of these families
would include on an average two
adults and three children.
"A joint advisory council Of CO.
opera tors and trade unions has been
constituted to draw up plan Of
campaign for the new organization"

CALL FOR STATE
CONFERENCE OF
LOCAL UNIONS

ence of affiliated unions, to be held

ing sent out from the headquarters
Of the State Federation of Labor,
this week, a sufficient number Of
requests for same having been re-
ceived from affiliated unions.
The call being sent out is as fol-
lows:
To Affiliated Unions, Greeting:
A sufficient number of petitions
have been received to warrant call
ing the conference provided for in
the resolution recently submitted
by the Federation, for the purpose
OF discussing closer affiliation and
cooperation within the labor
movement; solution TO the problem
of the high cost of living" and
plans OF naturalization, and to
formulate a program for the labor
movement on these matters.
Since affiliated unions have in
dictated their desire for such a con-
ference, we herewith issue a call
and set the date of the conference
as October so, 1919, said confer
ence to convene in the city Of Seat
tie at 10 a. m. of said date
Each affiliated union will be en-
titled to one representative at the
conference, and the deliberations Of
such conference shall be confined
to the subject matter contained in
the resolution, which follows;
"RESOLVED, That we petition
the Executive Council of the Wash
ington State Federation of Labor, in
strict accordance with its Constitu-
ton, to call a conference in the city
of Seattle, at as early date as pos
sible, to discuss and work out defin-
tie plans to bring about within the
existing laws of our Unions the
closest affiliation and cooperation
possible; and be it further
"RESOLVED, That such confer
ence take up discussion and such ac-
ton as may prove wise, the Plumb
plan and other naturalization plans.
and the eXtortionate high cost Of
living"
The alert members of organized
labor fully realize the Importance
of this conference They are aware
that earnest thinking and co-opera-
tion on the part of every element in
the movement is needed to pilot us
safely over the shoals of disruption
and bring that measure of strength
to labor, so essential to its full
success.
We cannot afford to let the con-
ference be representative only of
either the so-called conservatives
or the so-called radicals. For such
thing to occur would be disas-
trous to the movement. We must
have a full representation and that
representation must include all ele-
ments and sentiments within the
union movement. We therefore
urge that you make every effort to
have your union represented.
Credentials are enclosed here
with. Fill out duplicate and re-
turn to this office at earliest date
possible.
Fraternally yours,

The Senator's Reply
Dear Mr.. Sutton: | have yours
of recent date in reference to the
League of Nations. l agree with
you absolutely. 1t is a disloyal at
tack upon the independence of the
United States and, strange to say, is
boldly put forward as union of the
world, which, of course, means the
absorption of the United States into
this alien power. | hope you will
continue to speak and write against
it at every opportunity.
Il am sending you under separate
cover copies of my remarks on this
and other current issues.
With Kind regards, yours very
truly.

In his reply to the resolution
relative to the proposed bills by
Chamberlain and Kahn, he ac-
knowledges receipt. saying: Il am
glad to have the views of your or
ganization on these measures, and
will be glad to give them my care
full consideration. in connection
with pending legislation"
The reader will notice the Sen
ator agrees with the Tacoma Long
shoremens views on the League of
Nations and calls their attention to
his views on other issues, printed in
his speeches, on which, of course,
he would like the endorsement of
the Longshoremen.
But when it comes to endorsing
the ongshoremen's condemnation
of the Chamberlain and Kahn mil
itaristic bills, the Senator will be
glad to give them my careful con-
sideration.
OF course he will give them his
careful consideration, but leaves
the Longshoremen in doubt wheth-
er he will vote for or against them.
Say, Senator Poindexter, are you
for or against the Chamberlain and
Kahn bills? There are many very
wise citizens who believe the
League OF Nations will make mill
tarism unpopular If it does not
make it absolutely impossible.
