Cancellation PLAN
CRITICISM BEFORE
WILSON TRIBUNAL
Parliament of Capital and
Labor Proposed as Per-
manent Institution in Bill
Going to Senate

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Pres-
tdent Wilson's second industrial con-
ference reassembled today after a
several weeks recess, prepared to
consider the mass of suggestions and
proposals for sterilization of the ma
TONS industrial situation. These &C
cumulated during the holiday ad-
journed and came in response to a
request to the public for construc-
tive criticism of the conference
tentative plan made public December
80.
The plan for settling industrial
disputes favored by the conference
provided national Cancellation trib-
unal at Washington and regional
boards of inquiry and adjustment.
Some of it's suggestions have been
adversely criticized by officials of
the American Federation of Labor
and representative OF other union
labor organizations.
A parliament of industry to assist
congress in dealing with problems
Of capital and labor is to be pro-
3osed in bill now being drafted, and
shortly to be introduced in the SEN
ate, it was learned today.
The plan was conceived some time
ago but held up pending the out
come of the first and second indus
trial conferences called by President
Wilson. 1t will be presented as soon
as details can be worked out.
Following the Canadian idea, the
bill will call for a general indus
trial parliament to draw up a code
for industry. This is to be the basis
for future legislation recommended
to congress by the industrial body.
Tentative plans call for one hun
dred labor members to be chosen
by unions and other groups of en-
ployes, one hundred representatives
of capital to include business and
probably professional mon. A third
group probably will be added to rep
resent the public composed of fifty
or one hundred members. This part
of the plan has not been worked
out definitely, it was said.
Criticism of the proposal as be-
ing too unwieldy is anticipated" the
author of the bill said today. "But
it is based on the theory that the
industrial congress will be melt
ing pot of all ideas and viewpoints
legislation to be recon-
mended to congress can be formed.
The bill itself will call on the
president to call an industrial parlia-
ment as described 1t is then ex-
pected that the parliament will make
itself a permanent body. Drafting.
a code Of principles relating to rec
ognition Of collective bargaining, fv-
ing wages and peaceab1e settlement
of disputes is the first task the or
ganization would have, according to
present plans.
It is also contemplated that a body
similar to the war labor board--to
be the executive body to carry out
principles approved by the congress
and enacted into law-shall be set
