LABOR Will BACK
HARDING'S PLANS
IN ARMS PARLEY
Gompers Plans Nation
Wide Celebration as
Conference Opens.

A nationwide demonstration in
favor of international disarmament
will be staged by organized labor
as President Harding's disarmament
conference opens in Washington on
November IL, President Samuel
Gompsrs. Of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, announced yesterday.
Labor, Gompers said, hopes TO
unite all the people OF the country
in a big Armistice Day celebration
to show to the world that the Amer
lean public is solidly back of Presi-
dent Harding's step toward disarma-
ment.
Parades and Meetings.
Thousands of cenrtal labor unions
throughout the country are asked
by the national officials to take the
lead in each city or community in
bringing together the disarmament
sentiment in great mass demonstra-
tions in the form of parades and
mass meetings. Included in the
program of the labor organization is
an extensive celebration of Armis
tice Day.
Plans announced by the fedora
ton are being put into operation by
Samuel Gompers, by authority of
the executive council, in conformity
with the established position of the
American federation in favor Of
disarmament, a position taken by
the A. F. of L. in convention in
1887.
Letter to Organization.
Trade unions, State federations
civic bodies. women's organizations
and educational societies were sent
the following letter by Gompers by
order of the executive council:
The executive council of the
American Federation of Labor has
decided that American organized
labor must take the lead in impress
ing upon the international confer
ence for the limitation of disarama-
ment the overwhelming world de-
termination to stop conducting
international affairs on a military
basis
Tn accordance with the action OF
the executive council every central
labor union body in America is
urgently called upon to perform
definite duty in order that the dis
armament conference may not for
get it's purpose. and in order that
the largest possible disarmament
may be achieved.
Back U. S. Delegates.
"On the opening of the disarma-
ment conference November IL there
should be a national demonstration,
giving voice to the thought and
determination of America, backing
up our government in its leader
ship toward disarmament. and CIV
ing courage and determination to
the American representatives in the
international conference.
The time has come now to speak
with the full volume of our voice,
joining with all other elements in
American life and citizenship whose
faith is akin to ours and whose
love for peace is as deep. 1t is ex-
pected that every city central body
will Join in the national demon
stration, leaving no link in the great
chain across the country.
TT is highly desirable that this
great Armistice Day disarmament
demonstration be not along the ex-
preston of labor's views, but that
IL be the expression of the views
of our citizenship. under lsbor's
leadership.
"Action Is the need, Of the hour.
The time has come to disarm. Is
the slogan. The hour has struck to
make good our faith in democracy,
to bring success to a great construc-
tive movement in which labor has
been the leader"

LONDON, Sept. 10.-Reports from
Dublin to both the government and
the Irish representatives here indi-
cate that there Is a strong demand
among the rank and file Of the Sim
Feiners for acceptance by Dali
Eireann at its meeting Wednesday
rof -the governments invitation 70 .
conference at Inverness
1t is pointed out by Irish repre-
sentatives here that II is quite
within possibility for the Irish to
ignore the FIRST paragraphs of Prime
Minister Lloyd Georges letter and
to accept an invitation to "ascer-
tain how the association of Ireland
with the community of nations
known as the British Empire can
best be reconciled with Irish nation
al aspirations." This is regarded
as admitting discussion of every
possible relationship. even that of a
dual monarchy which is said to be
the solution gaining favor among
the moderates.
IIish Press Favors 1t.
A most Significant sign is that
the Irish press has recovered its
voice and is talking for the first
time with some show of indepen-
dence. Every newspaper is urging
acceptance.
1t is stated in Dublin that De
Valera will not accompany the dele.
CATION to Inverness but 1t will be
led by Arthur Griffith. 1t Is report
ed here that Lloyd George is con-
sidering postponing the date of the
conference for a week. This is due
to the fact that the Highland
Gathering" which is the fashion
able Highland function Of the. year.
takes place in Inverness during the
week OF September 20 and the
hotels are all booked to the doors.
Want Both Meetings.
The thrifty Highland hotel keep
ers want to have both the Gather
ing" and the conference but they
refuse to turn out the Gathering
guests, who have more money to
spend, for government officials.
The Herald's Belfast correspon'
dent. wires that the Ulster capital
is very apprehensive over the am
biguity of the Prime Minister'S last
letter, which might be interpreted
as allowing the reopening of Ul-
ster's position. To this, Ulsterites
say, they will never consent.

Changes Name From Crock
And Corey to Corey
And Wood.

The rapid growth OF real estate
sales and transfers In Washington
during the last few years has given
rise to a number of new firms.
One of the most enterprisinE of
the young companies has been that
Of Crock and Corey. with offices In
the Equitable Building. Starting
business about eighteen months
ago, the firm worked for some time
under the general direction of Mrs
Ruby Lee Minar. in the new suburb
Of Lyon Park. The endeavor in this
section was marked with especially
good results and the arm has
shown rapid growth.
Recently, however. Crock and
Corey have worked with city homes
more directly.
On the FIRST of November Henry
W. Wood was taken into active
partnership, making the new nrm
name Corey and Wood. Mr.. Wood
has for some time been connected
with the Life Insurance Company
of Virginia and has an excellent
record az a salesman.

LOWER RAIL RATES
TO HELP BUILDING
Says Proper Readjustment
Would Be of Great Value
To Public.

An appeal to the reaItor to get
behind the fghC for readjusted
freight rates on the railroads, with
especial reference to shipments Of
building materials. was made by II.
.. BALDWIN, Of Wellesley Hills, rep
resenting Roger w. Babson.
This will be of great value to the
real estate business. according to
Baldwin. who said he was glad to
see the people OF the State Of New
York at the top in the movement to
get a proper readjustment Of prob
lens leading to normally among
many lines.
There IL to be no building boom
this fall. but Baldwin predicted a
marked improvement along this line
next spring. provided the freight
rate is revised.
Real estate would be one OF the
last things to show a decline, Bald
win said, because It was one of the
last to experience an advance. As
the Babson organization views the
situation. there may be some decline
during the next two or three years,
but never a decline to the level of
1854.
As to prices of building materials.
Baldwin finds these to be out Of line
with groups OF other commodities.
He advised building Nhis fall and
winter, because of the fact that, be-
ing out Of season to some degree. 1t
will be possible to make better fg-
ures with contractors and dealers in
materials. Baldwin foresees a BULL
ing revival, and believes that now is
good time to secure sites even
though building is not started until
later. Sites will doubtless be high
