 The first duty of the conference will be to determine accurately the employment needs of the nation at present and to recommend to the administration emergency measures for mitigating the situation before the rigors of winter set in to increase the hardships of the waGeless, off cials here said.
 To Fix Permanent Relief
 With the immediate problem Of work distribution solved, according to administration officiels, the con- ference will take up the formula ton of permanent policy for com batting unemployment throughout the country, whenever and wherever d serious situation may arise and, in addition, to suggest methods for hastening the return to normal Of commerce and business generally.
 The conference is to be opened for mally tomorrow by President Hard ing with an address ot welcome to the men and women who responded 10 his invitation to lend their coun- sel to the government. Secretary Hoover. named by the President as chairman of tho conference, is to lay before the conferees suggestions for efficient organization to enable an expeditions consideration of the question at hand and the most prac- tical means for reaching the conclu- sions sought.
 Form Into Committees
 To this end it Is expected the con- ference will at once form itself into committees to inquire into the va Fiors angles of the unemployment problem, the recommendation of tho committees to be acted upon by the whole body in arriving at a decision. Preparation has been made for as many as ten committees, these bodies to consist of five or six conferees each.
 Statistics and an emergency pro- gramme, it was said would be the first subjects for study by the com mlttee. mass of data has been prepared for the use of the confer ence by an advisory committee of economic experts appointed by Sec retary Hoover, and, with this data and such additional information on the subject as the conference may gather, as by means of hearings le- fore it's committees, 1t is believed the whole picture of national unem- ployment may be visualized quickly.

 Prohibition Is Joke
 Tn Chicago there is more drunk enpess than there ever was--mors deaths from liquor than before pro- hibition-more of every evil attriput- able to the use of liquor than in the days before the so-called prohibition laws became 'effective',H he de- clared. Prohibition enforcement in Chicago Is a joke.
 Chicago Is like a dry farm needing water, and the prohibition enforce- ment office is as futile as any group or men would be who tried to stop the rain and prevent the ground from soaking up the moisture. The only way to make prohibition an actuality here or any place else Is to stop the liquor at it's source"
 The chiefs statement tonight also charged that several city officials outside the police department were in the police booze ring and said that preparations had been made to discharge half the force if that should be necessary.

London, September 25.--Several members of the British cabinet who are said to have studied Premier Lloyd Georges reply to the latest communication of Ramon Devalera have not conveyed their views to the premier on the situation and it Is regarded as not unlikely the pre- mier,s note will not be ready for dispatch to Dublin before Tuesday or Wednesday.
 No intimation has been vouchsafed as to the probable terms of the note but opinion in both England and Ireland seems to be hopeful that it will be couched so as to accommo- date the position of the Sim Fein leaders and enable them to come into another conference.
 Meanwhile disturbing reports of new provocative acts, alleged to have been made by Black and Tans in Cork and elsewhere are causing apprehension among those hopeful of settlement of the Irish situation According to Cork dispatches civil ian members of the republic police were roughly treated Saturday night by British police patrols.

Proposal Is Timely.
This proposal is particularly
timely now, when 1t is estimated
that the worlds susplus cotton
crop this year will exceed last
years by five and half million
bales The European demand for
cotton goods has been decreased
by the substitutes which Germans
especially have been forced to
manufacture, but it would prompt
ly revive If the goods could be
placed oheanly before consumers,
The high cost OF labor and the
high value of American money
abroad makes it next to impossi-
BILE for the Americans to meet this
demand, The Germans feel they
could do 1t,
There is another point which
the German industrialists are maxi
ing in their argument for co-op-
Grafton with American manufac-
turers-the increasing output OF
the German mills is bound to ad-
versely affect American foreign
trade, for Americans cannot COM
pete with the Germans in many
lines owing to the difference in
the cost of production. Co-opera-
tion would give the two countries
virtual world monopoly on a
large percentage of commerce, and
be profitable to both sides.
Sharn Competition.
"If no working agreement can
be reached in the European trade
the German plans call for the
slarpest competition possible. Ger
man competition already Is maxi
ing itself manifest in the South
American trade, where the Ger
mans are rapidly regaining their
pre-war prestige, I know Of one
American concern which last year
shipped $1,000 tons of goods to
South American countries but in
the next twelve months will send
less than 10000 tons. The Ger
