PROPER PLACE TO GRAPPLE
WITH LABOR PROBLEM IS IN
INDIVIDUAL PLANT, FINDS

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March G.
The proper place to grapple with the
labor problem is in the individual
plant, the second industrial confer
ence will tell President Wilson in its
final report. The conference adj
journed today after having held so
sessions since it's first meeting Dec. l..
Its report, adopted unanimously, will
20 to the president next week and
will be made public within about fiji
teen days.
Specific regulation Of hours Of
work, wages, women and children in
industry, unemployment and similar
problems have been made, the con-
ference announced, and definite
stand on collective bargaining, the
rock on which the first conference
came to grief, has been taken.
In a preliminary report made pub
lie Dec. 10 the conference proposed
machinery for adjusting disputes be-
tween employees and employers, and
asked for criticisms and suggestions.
A number of men prominent in public
life as well as representatives of capi-
tai and labor appeared before the con-
ference, while individuals and organi-
cations made suggestions in writing.
The final report, the conference
announced, makes some notifications
of the original in its preliminary
statement, but leaves intact the ma
tional industrial board and the re-
gional boards of inquiry and adjust
ment.
The report, which contains about
$4,000 words, will be printed for
public information.
The conference was composed OF
seventeen members, with Secretary OF
Labor Wilson az chairman and Her.
bert Hoover as vice chairman.

DALLAS, Texas, March 6.-Demo-
Gratis of Texas supporting the admin
istration of President Wilson today
picked up the gage of battle hurled
down by the anti-administration fac
ton of state democrats led by for
mer Senator Joseph Weldon Bailey.
Meeting here in unofficial state
wide conference, these Woodrow
Wilson" democrats laid plans for an
energetic campaign to send to the
national convention at San Francisco
Texas delegation that will stand
"solidly and unreservedly in approval
and support" of the Wilson admins
tration.
State issues, it was decided, will be
set aside until after the precinct con-
ventions, May /, when delegates will
be chosen for county conventions the
following Tuesday, which. in turn,
will select the personnel of the state
convention of May %, when the Tex
as delegation to the San Francisco
convention will be chosen.
Four candidates for governor-Pat
NJ. Neff, Waco; X. +. Thomason, FL
Paso; b. +. Looney, Greenville, and
Dwight L. Lewelling, Dallas-agreed
to confine their campaign activities
until May to the national issue with
a view to defeating the efforts Of the
Bailey faction, which seeks to control
the state convention and send to San
Francisco an anti-Wilson delegation.
A resolution adopted by the con-
ference unequivocally endorsed the
national administration, and tele-
gram was sent to President Wilson
informing him of this action and ac-
quainting him with the purpose of
the campaign the conference had de-
cided on.
Thomas II. Ball of Houston, chair
man of the conference, soon will ap-
point state democratic administra-
ton state central committee of 81
members. County and precinct chair
nIen are to be named throughout the
state. BY voluntary subscriptions
$S44s.70 was raised at the confer
ence for a campaign fund.
Many speakers at the conference
bitterly scored former Senator Bar
ley, who recently announced his gu
bernatorial candidacy on a platform
opposing the progressive democratic"
administration Of Woodrow Wilson,
and urging "a return to the princi-
plies Of Thomas Jefferson"
Cullen r. Thomas of Dallas branded
Mr.. Bailey as "a stalking horse of
the republicans" and said he and
James +. Ferguson ''got their heads
together" the one to fi<it the demo
cratic party without and the other
within. Former Governor Ferguson
headed the group Of democrats who
withdrew from the state party last
fall and formed the American party.
Governor w. p Hobby, who has
announced his candidacy for selec-
ton as delegate at large to the San
Francisco convention, referred to the
