which in the old days only a gold stick

What was it the President did?
Why, he cracked a joke. Because
he is surging with twentieth century
impulses and manners, a thorough
bred gentleman, but one Of today, a
little fun is no longer reprehensible in
point of dignity, so the President sang
out:
wait a minute. / want you to
meet Mr.. De La Huerta." And he
sent a messenger who brought in the
secretary Of the treasury. The CORE
spondent said hopefully:
IT trust, Mr.. De La Huerta, that
you understand English"
Mr.. De La Huerta regretfully re-
piled that he did not, at which the
President laughed and said:
"Yes, he speaks English; but in case
he goes to New York to discuss things
with your bankers and financiers 1t
will be to his advantage to understand
only as much English as he may
wish"
1t was said in fun and it was wise

In conference with the president until
late Yesterday, their conclusion result
ing in the summons TO the labor load
ers. No fixed plan was laid down in
the white House conference, but opin-
ions OF board members, coupled with
the announcement OF the public group
in washington Sunday indicated that
the following would be the proposals
taken UP in Thursdays conference:
1. Immediate suspension Of strike
order, pending further negotiations
looking to a settlement.
2. Use OF the brotherhood influence
to forestalI strike orders by amy Of the
other labor organizations now consid-
ering a walkout.
8. Proposal OF platform on which
final settlement might be reached, to
include these points; with the proviso
that there will bme no strike:
withdrawal Of q definite period
OF the proposed request by the roads
for further wage decreases.
B-Immediate reduction Of freight
rates by the roads.
This leaves open the two points said
by the train service men to be para

and the other Is the cancellation or
revision OF the existing rules and
working conditions High labor lead
ers have been insistent that these two
points form the real bone of conten-
