WASHINGTON, Nov 16.-(By the Associated Press s)-Herbert Hoover, former food administrator, was call ed into conference today by the exc cutive council of the American Fed eration of Labor as it continued a face-to-face discussion of economic and industrial conditions presumably fer the purpose of framing policy to be followed by the federation III legislation which it will urge on con gress.
 Hoover was invited to the meeting it was explained, because Of his wide knowledge of economic and industrial conditions in America It was indi- cated also that the council desired, and had obtained from him, data which eminent engineers have gather ed on questions pertaining to or af- fecting labor.
 Members who were in the council meeting behind closed doors were dis inclined to talk of the discussions There was evidence, however, that Hoover's views did not place all blame for conditions now confronting labor on employers. Much data has been gathered by the federation with respect to economic conditions throughout the country It is known also that during today's conference some members of the council, while holding employers largely responsible for present conditions, admitted that individual and even groups of work CTS did not play fair in some in stances. Hoover was understood tc have told the conference that labor must do it's share in the elimination or industrial faults and ills which
 make for unemployment.

Lose the joys they want to keep,
Others have to stand to care.

Are not any bigger than
Those that come to every man,

Bolshevtk rule. M Of strengthening
sentiment in support Of General
Wrangel, whose success is now re-
garded as the only road to relief in
sight.
Wheat prices have shown a marked
decline during the week, and for the
first time since the early days of the
war wheat of the highest grade has
been quoted at less than $500 per
bushel. The situation has led many
persons in public life to wire the
president Asking for an embargo
against Canadian wheat on the ground
that the dumping of this wheat was
threatening ruin to the American
farmer. Messages of this kind were
sent by Mr.. O'Connor, Democratic
Republican fusion candidate for gov,
ernor, by former Senator Gronna, and
by several members of the Townley
faction. In this connection a curious
has developed. The TOWN.
ley papers exploited the messages
sent by their factional friends, anG
praised these men for their attention
to the interests of the farmer. Then
came James Manahan, one of the
leagues main spellbinders, and in an
address at Grand Forks ridiculed the
embargo idea. He said that the
price of wheat Is fixed by the grain
gamblers, n that aside from this.
the embargo would lot affect the
operation Of supply and demand!
which would control if the gamblers
were put out of business. Evidently
the orator had not been carefully
coached on the course hat was to be
steered on the embargo subject. AS
it stands, those Of the Town
ley politicians who have taken a
stand on this matter are being praised
by their newspapers and ridiculed by
their speaker on the stump.

TAFT ON WILSON.

In the current number of the Yale
Review appears a very interesting ar
ticle by former President Taft IN the
issues of the present campaign. On
the personal attitude OF President
Wilson toward the government of
which he is a part, MI. Taft has these
paragraphs:
1.-THE results of personal govern
ment were painfully apparent when
Mr.. Wilson was Ill. The government
in many ways ceased to function; and
that this was according to his plan
was shown in his indignant dismissal
OF Mr.. Lansing for having called Cab
met meetings to tide over the en-
barrassment caused by the disability
of the one who was the source of all
power and the only centre of final
decision.
Not only before the war- and, dur
ing the war. but IN the negotiations
for peace, the absorbing personality
Of MI. Wilson dwarfed every other
factor. He would not BROOK near him
anyone who cast a shadow. His ap-
p%ointees to the Commissions of cap
ital importance were sadly lacking in
conspicuous fitness or public conf
dence. His going abroad in person to
Paris was the breaking of all prece-
dent. The writer approved of it as
quite within his constitutional func-.
ton and thought 1t a good thing as
a means Of educating the President
TO the European situation. In 80 far,
however. as it seemed to minimize
tho necessity for calling men of abil-
ity. experience. and influence into the,
Peace Commission, it proved a bad
thing. His conduct in/Paris in carry
ing on the negotiations himself, often
without consulting any of those whom
he took with him. so that they FREE
quently knew nothing Of critical de-
cisions until announced in the public
press, was of a piece with his whole
conception Of proper personal gov
eminent. T.
lit was this first rule Of his being
that prompted his famous address to
h &~electorate on the eve of the Con-
sressional election tof 1918, already
alluded to. in which, while he ad-
mitted that the Republicans had been
pro-war, he said that they were anti
administration, and that in his nego-
t%iations for peace and it's conse-
quences he needed a Democratic Con-
gress, so that he might be 1.-The un-
embarrassed spokesman" Of the Units.
ed States. Notwithstanding the re.
cred to him for his s~elf-revealing
message, he proceeded as if he were
the unembarrassed spokesman of all
the people, and this led to his present
undoing and to that of the League"
