TO deive "too deeply" into the "big

The President has two reasons FOR
his request. IT. was said;
1. The desire 10 have the con-
ference find work for men "at once

2. The fear that discussion at this
time OF wage reductions, the rail-
road refundlng issue and other fun
damental problems would cause 9
row among the conference delegates
and possibly lead to a "break up
in the pariey before Il had accom-
plished tangible results.
Harding has before him as a warn
ing the fate OF former President
Wilson's industrial conference two
years ago which broke up without
reaching an agreement after having
