ideas These must be separated
and classified. So must the re-
sDectiVe plans brought by individ-
ual members Of the conference.
The forces are familiar with the
contents Of most of the schemes
proposed for the amelioration %
labor and capital. Il will not take
them long to set aside those upon
which there is no chance of agree
ment in favor of those on which
il may be possible to get common
accord.
But such work cannot be done
in a meeting OF 60 people all OF
whom represent different interests.
Therefore, just as the peace con-
ference at Versailles found 1t nee
essary to transact business in a
big committee, just as the senate
and house require committee con-
sideratiOn Of all the numerous res
Olutions presented from day to day
by hundreds Of members sOf con-
Eress, so has Is become necessary
for the Industrial conference here
to have a committee of Is, com
posed Of five members from each
Of the three main groups-capital
labor and the public. John Spargo
would have liked to arrange the
rules SO that a minority In each
group could bring to the discussion
Of the whole conference any prop
osition, but both capital and labor
vetoed the idea because from ex-
perienCe these men have found
that much time is lost that wav
and that unless a majority in each
group stands ready to back a prop
osition. there is little chance that
the arguments Of the main confer
ence viii do anything but occupy
time
Aim is TO Get Agreement.
The purpose of the conference is
to get agreement between three
groups and there is really little
time for the conference itself to
straighten out discussions inside
the ranks Of any one group. Pre-
sUmably the groups will act by ma
Jority vote and as a unit in eacn
case.
But the committee Of IS will not
have final power. 1t will merely
bring to the attention Of the con-
ference with or without recon-
mendation the proposals that it
thinks should come before the
main body. There will be ample |
opportunity for discussion and an
aye or nay vote on each proposal |
The conference exists chiefly today |
on the sanction of the government |
which called it together and on |
the strength Of public opinion !
which looks to It for a settlement. |

ANNIVERSARY TO-DAY.
Battle Of Fredericksburg Fought 81
Years Ago.

Editor of The Reformer:
Today is the 57th anniversary of the bat
tie OF Fredericksburg, Va, the most dis
astrous to the Union of any battle fought
by the Army of the Potomac There were
many obstacles to overcome which made
victory for the Union impossible. The
weather was cold, the ground frozen, there
had been snowstorm of two or three
inches, which had not all disappeared. and
there was great suffering from the cold in
both armies.
Many of US wounded suffered more from
the cold than from our wounds. There
were no Red Cross nurses to look after
the wounded. no Young Mems Christian
association, Salvation Army and Knights
of Columbus with their Irtle delicacies
so pleasing to wounded soldier. AL oil
these organizations were unknown in those
days.
There are few old veterans who havt
lived to march down the broad avenues o
life these 81 years who note the change il
warfare with a wonder not easily ex
| planned and today We stand as remnan
of the history we and our comrades hav,
made At the end of this living histor!
may this epitaph be written:
Thy fame shall last while time rolls on
Thy deeds remembered when thou ar
gone"

ground that better paid men mean more

THREE MODELS TO
CHOOSE FROM

There are three models to choose
from: the fve-passenger touring car,
roadster that has the sportiest
lines and which is so arranged that
it makes an ideal business vehicle
with large carrying space under the
rear deck. Both are fitted with full
protection storm curtains. The third
model is the sedan, a fiye-passenger
closed car, that is travelling sun
parlor. It gives full protection from
all weathers in winter and can be
opened up to be more comfortable in
summer than an open model. But
you have seen these charming cars.
They are all about you, and you have
heard all about them from their
owners.
The opportunity to get an Essex
in time for Christmas is yours if you
act quickly.
1t will be difficult to get delivery
in the spring if you wait until them,
for practically every dealer reports
orders on hand in excess of his sea-
sons supply.

$ There can be no advantage in wait

which must ultimately be the fea-

that until they can be incorporated

NOTE IT'S ECONOMY

The Essex won its way through
sheer merit. What car has more
champions?
Where can you find such perform
ance, or fine quality and good looks?
Owners tell you how their car out
performs larger, costlier cars. Some
have driven their Essex more than
$4,000 miles without a nickle for re-
pairs.
The tire, gasoline and oil economy
is unusual. In these respects the Es-
sex is like lightweight, low-priced
cars. But the Essex also has the fine
car durability and the finish and
looks of higher priced cars.
