UNEMPLOYMENT
CONFERENCE IS
ABOUT TO END

Washington, Oct. 13.-Called to-
gether on September 26 by President
Harding to consider measures for the
relief of workless wage earners and
the return of commerce and business
to normal, the national conference on
unemployment was scheduled today
to end for the present it's discussion
of the country's economic problems
It's work, however, is expected to be
carried on by committees appointed
to coordinate the operation of the
actual measures adopted and to CON
duct regular surveys into cyclical
changes in business and employment
conditions.
The possibility also exists that the
conference will merely adjourn, sub
ject to the call of the president.
The remaining subjects for discus
sion today were said to include the
majority and minority reports of
committees who were unable to
reach an unanimous agreement upon
recommendation to the conference.
According to Secretary Hoover an
opportunity is to be given members
of various committees to voice their
views on the various economic fac
tors affecting the country's industrial
structure. He has explained. how
ever, that the conference is not a
legislative body and only the com
mittee reports upon which complete
unity is reached are to be regarded
as conference measures.
Some of the committees yet to
make their reports are those on man.
ufactures, agriculture, mining and
transportation.

Pittshure Mourna
Pittsburg, Pa. oct. -. News of
the death of Senator Knox. in Wash
ington, last night, caused profound
regret. The announcement OF the
death of one of the city's most noted
persons brought expressions of sor-
row from many.
Justices of the supreme court OF
Pennsylvania were guests of honor
at a dinner at the Pittsburs club
which was attended by judge James
H. Reed for twenty-four years law
partner of Senator Knox. when the
word was received. Gloom was cast
over the affair as practically every
man present had been associated with
the Senator or was closely acquainted
with him.
United States Senator David l..
Walsh. of Massachusetts. principal
speaker at the Columbus day banquet
of the Knights of Columbus, made the
announcement to large assemblage.
He said of Senator Knox in part:
Senator Knox was a national fig
ure and was great secretary of
state. FIe was senator that any
state could be proud of. He was un-
assuming and spoke seldom in the
senate, but when he did speak, he
uttered opinions that commanded re-
spect and attention and his Ameri-
canism and patriotism always were
unsullied."

Washington, j. G.. Aug 51.-Ger-
man competition in the field Of for
eign trade is showing signs Of weak
enins. Secretary Hoover said yester-
day. While the reports to the Com
naerce Department tell Of strenuous
German commercial activity in va
rious parts Of. the world, he added, the
Germans arc having difficulty in hand
Ing the business obtained through
their attractive price quotations
In particular. the secretary explain
ed. the Germans are finding il inn
possible to produce goods or to their
pre-war quality. while at The same
time they are unable TO execute large
numbers Of contracts. In Argentina
he said. the Germans were compelled
to throw up q contract for quantities
of steel which they could not deliver.
