LABOR RESOLUTIONS
SENT TO PRESIDENT
Unemployment Conference Rec
concentrations Expected to
Guide Harding's Policy
MAY ASK CONGRESS TO ACT
by the Associated Press

Washington, Oct. 2.--Resolutions
adopted by the National Conference on
Unemployment, suggesting steps for the
economic betterment Of the country
were transmitted to President Harding
today by Secretary Hoover, chairman
Of the conference.
The conferences conclusions, after a
survey of the Nations business and en-
ployment problems, were expected to
form guide for the Administration $
future policy. AS several of the con-
ference's resolutions suggest congress
sional action, It was thought these might
be called to the attention of Congress
by the President.
Recommendation that Secretary
Hoover select representative com
mittee from the various elements in
terested in construction, such as finan-
ciers, labor. engineers, architects, con
tractors and material manufacturers to
CO ordinate community action for i'm
provement in the building industry was
made in the report of the Committee
on Construction Industries to be pre-
sented today to the conference.
The report declared the construction
problem was one for local action by
Governors and Mayors in operation
with such a committee.
While the committee found that there
had been substantial reductions in the
costs of many construction materials,
lower prices for some materials had
not yet been brought about in keeping
with the trend Of wholesale prices, and
In many instances retailers had not
yet followed the reduction Of manufac-
turers and wholesalers. This, the re-
port asserted, is n subject to be taken
up locally in each community.
On the subject of wages the commit
tee said:
"The cost of living, rentals and
working conditions differ in various
communities. Where fair wage reduc-
tions have not been made construction
is held up. Such conditions should be
dealt with fairly and frankly between
employer and workmen and reasonable
readjustments promptly made"
The report added that the employer
should not, however, permit the wage
of his workmen to go below a point
sufficient to provide the necessities Of
life and to permit of the proper educa-
tion of children.

sINN FEM IS CRITICIZED
BY the Associated Press

Iondon. Oct. 12.--The British and
irish delegates, pending resumption OF
,he conference tomorrow, today were
considering alleged breaches of the truce
N Ireland and endeavoring to devise
n,sons by which they might be avoided
dnring the negotiations looking to q set
Element Of the future of Ireland.
This was the first difficulty faced by
she corferees, the assumption by the
Doii Eireann of the functions of gov
ernment in ireland having caused much
;rritation here. Actual outbursts or
nonaicts with the crown forces are re-
.srded as less serious than the virtual
eusting of the British authorities by the
Sim Fcln courts and police, as the
Gown forces, without breaking the
trce. cannot take active measures
bganst this policy on the part of the
Sim Fein.
Sim Fein Accused OF Breaking Truce
Under the terms of the truce, the
Crown forces must not carry arms,
Wbich the British Government alleges
The Sim Feiners do. Eamon J. Dug
san. who acted as chief laison officer in
Ireland. is acting for the Sim Fein in
his matter. and \. W. Cope, Assistant
Under Secretary for Ireland, who orig
inally signed the truce, has conlg--tO
Iondon from Dublin to advise thC>Gov-
crnment's representatives.
The Sim Fcin, which has carried out
religiously its agreements regarding
nublication of the proceedings in the
conferences, complained this morning
that there had been leaks on the Gov
ernment side and said this was-anothCr
matter which they would ask to have
remedied.
Premier Consults Cabinet
Prime Minister Lloyd George laid
before full meeting of the British Cab
met Council meeting today the subjects
discussed at yesterdays conference be-
tween representatives of the Irish Re
nublican Parliament and a committee of
Cabinet officers. A recess Of one day was
taken BY the men considering Irish af-
fairs, who will meet tomorrow morning
at II o'clock to resume their considera-
tion OF some means by which the Irish
probem-can be adjusted.
Little was made public regarding the
details Of the two meetings held BY the
conferees yesterday, but there was some
intimation that objection was made by
the Cabinet officials present to the re-
cruting of men for the Irish Republican
army. 1t was pointed out that several
thousand men have been added to the
ranks of the military forces under d.
rection Of the Dali Eireann, and 1t
seemed probable that some step would
be taken to secure an agreement by
which neither party would increase its
armed forces during the present nego-
tiations.

HotU We SerUe Our Meals
There are Easy as wen as Dnicult ways of Doing It.

RTowADAYs formal dinners IN
IN hotels or in homes wSere there
are many servants are always
served in the Russian fashion. That
is. nothing IS served from the table nor
does the host have anything to do with
the carving. at such a dinner the
roast meat and other similar dishes are
brought IN TO tho dining room by a
servant and placed on the sideboard
where the butler carvea them. The
peices of meat ars then placed on a
loug silver dish and they are passed
. the guests from this dish. Some
fsmes when there is no husler the meats
are carved in the kitchen and brought
directiy frort there on the long serving
dishes.

pier form of service--sonetimes called
the English style. though It Is no more
used IN England than here fer formal
dinncr-where the hest carves the
meat. This. Of course. Is the usual
method Of procedure In the home where
servants are few or entirely absent

the soup would be served from a tureen
by the hostess and either handed BY a
servant or passed around by the diners

The plates either by the hostess or by
some member of the family, sitting
near the carver. The hostess would
pour the coffee and serve the pudding
or pie. Such a dinner has the ad
vantage of requiring the minimum OF
service and making the task OF serving
a dinner with no servant at all as easy
as possible.
A good many persons. however. who
Ike 70 have the meat or 'fIsh carved
