Nations Urged. .

Washington. Dec. S.-Technical rec
concentrations Of the delegates of the
five Allied and associated powers who
have been in session here at the pre-
conference to be submitted to the gen.
eral conference of all nations for ap-
proval, as made public here today
through the state department, show
that disposition of the former German
cables seized by France, Great Britain
and Japan in 1914. still remains un-
solved. This was one Of the principal
questions for settlement with which
the conference was charged.
Desirability Of more cables between
North America and the Orient and
between, America and Australia, and
cable connecting North America
with Italy were among some of the
important recommendations made by
the conference. 1t also was proposed
that a universal electrical communi-
cations union be established, having
for Its object the international reci-
procal exchange of telegraphic and
telephone communications by land
line. cable, radio and all other forms
of signalling, as we'll as the extension
and improvement Of such means Of
communication.
Recommendation was made by the
conference to retain the central bu-
! reau at Bernc and maintain it's pres
ent function as clearing house for
the general interchange of informa-
, ton relating to communications.
So far as formulation Of a code Of
international law relating to COM

! decided to propose an. agreement

rights serving to check the develop

America-referred to az the capital

Albert II. Gary, chairman of the
United States Steel Corporation, de-
clared here today in opening the an
nual meeting of the American Iron
and Steel Institute.
Speaking on 1.-THE Ship of State"
Mr.. Gary said the question of wheth-
er 1t will be wrecked depends upon
the conduct and efforts of the ships
sailors, who are all the people. En-
ployers. employees. and the general
public which includes them. owe a
duty to the nation which must be
performed to insure stability OF gov
ernment and continuance of the en-
joyment Of American freedom, he as
serted.
"The present so-called labor strikes
are instigated as part of the cam
paign to disturb and demoralize the
social and economic conditions of the
country" said Mr.. Gary. 'In other
lands very serious results have been
accomplished by the same means
which have been employed here"
3epreeatss Class Legislation.
Mr.. Gary deprecated class fegisla-
tion. He declared there are no
classes in the United States such as
have existed in other countries.
In America, he said. those who are
seeking to establish classes and OBJ
tain discriminating favors are COM
posed Of a comparatively small mi
nority of the population, who have
adopted the word Tabor" with the
concealed design OF forming a class
which they hope finally will attract
n rhs3ority OF ti,.asssapie ans.s thus
enable them to obtain legislation
which would ultimately destroy the
constitution.
These men have already procured
certain legislation which is wrong
fully discriminating" Mr.. Gary said.
Some of them know what the final
consequence of their designs must
be, that all would be lost in the
ruins. but immediate gain is to them
sufficient justification.
'The safe, efficacious and natural
remedy for the perils which have
been limited at are to be found only
in unity OF purpose and effort on
the part of the whole crew on board
