LABOR TO CONFER
ON RAILROAD BILL

Washington.-Th attitude OF organ
lied railway employees toward the anti.
strike provision of the Cummins rail
road bill will be formally stated in n
declaration of principles to be drafted
by the heads of all the brotherhoods
at conference here with President
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor.
Labor leaders declared that nothing
drastic was to be expected" but the
general view among organized workers
was that the affiliated trades would
stand by the railway machlnists' un-
ion. which voted to quit work IL con.
gress enacted the anti.strike leglsla.
ton. Senators and representatives in
Washington expressed the opinion.
however. that the house never would
accept the bill as 1t came from the
senate and that even If it should pass
President Wilson would veto 1t.
Regardless of what action might be
taken by the brotherhoods, the belief
prevailed in congressional circles that
when senate and house conferees got
through with the Cummins and Esch
bills, no vestige of the anti-strike sec
tlon would remain.

PLAN FOR STRIKE
TRIBUNAL OUTLINED

Washington, d. C.-Tentative recon-.
mendations for the establishment of
machinery to prevent or retard labor
conflicts In private industry were an
nounced by the presidents Industrial
conference with a view to obtaining
constructive criticism before a final
plan Is adopted.
The plan as outlined now contem-
plates the creation of national indus
trial tribunal and regional board OF
inquiry and adjustment, which would
move to the settlement of disputes be-
fore there was any stoppage of produc.
ton. Decisions would have the full
force and effect of trade agreement
between the parties to the dispute.
Remarking that some public utiii-
ties, such as railroads, are essential
to the very existence OF the people.
the conferences tentative statement
expressed the opinion that the Inter
ruption In such essential public utlll-
ties is intolerable." But the confer
ence states that further consideration
Is required OF the problem whether
some method can be arrived at that
will avert all danger of interruption
to service.

POLISH-SOVIET RACE

X breathing spell has come. or will como october IS. for Poland and tho Reds
 X preliminary peace treaty has been signed by the Polish and Soviet Rus stan delegates at Riga. to become cf- fective on that date. There will be moro fighting. and the terms of the treaty are thought 10 be unpopular. as Is always the case where no one is called victor. no ono vanquished.
 Poland is thought 70 havo suffered from the lack of having financial settlement, hut on tho other hand she has gained much moro in land than seemed likely. Poles regard tho shut ting of of Lithuania from Russia as q victory outweighing any conces- siona made.
 Tho situation is so complex that a discussion of 1t at this distance. where in short space of time opinion and acts may reverse themselves. seems fruitless. But there is great hope that this temporary peace will lead to a permanent peace which will restore normal conditions to Central Europe.
