Press May Be
Admitted to All
Sessions Arms Meet

Washington. Oct. 12-(By The AS
ISOLATED Press)IThe American dele
cation to the armament conference
held its first meeting today in the
office of Secretary Hughes, effected
permanent organization, made a
general survey of the data gathered
for its guidance and began discus
sion of the questions of policy that
are to characterize the position of
this government in the coming ne
gotiations.
One of the first specific subjects
to be considered was the problem of
open or closed sessions for the
armament conference and discussion
is said to have revealed considerable
sentiment for opening the doors
whenever the entire body of dele
gates meets to register important de-
cisions.
Other and broader questions of
policy also We're given detailed ex-
animation during the three and a
half hours meeting of the delegation
and tonight the delegates continued
their discussions and heard the
views of President Harding at a
White House dinner. No date was
set for the next meeting, but it was
indicated that another consultation
was probable early next week
| None of those present at the meet
ing would reveal details of the DELHI
erations regarding publicity for the
conference sessions. but the impress
sion was given that this government
might lay before the delegates after
they assemble here on November II
a proposal that all full sessions of the
conference be open to the press The
recommendation, it was said, would
not apply to the meetings of indi-
vidual national delegations, commit
tees or other subordinate bodies
where the real decisions of the ne
| gotiations may be made, but would
give publicity to such gatherings as
that which will mark the opening of
the conference and to the sessions
where formal votes on pending ques-
| tons are taken.
| The question, however. is one
which the conference Itself must de-
eide and it is expected that the
American delegation will take every
| f''Nh'ttOii iiot W appear 10 urge lCS
| opinions on the representatives of
the other powers. It is pointed out
that the plan for open sessions for
the full conference is in accord with
a resolution presented by Senator
Harrison, Democrat. Mississippi, and
now pending in the Senate.
The proposal to use the Amer
lean building for the conference ses-
slons was given endorsement and
the delegation made suggestions re-
gardins the allotment of space for
delegations and committees there
and in wing Of the navy depart
ment building adjacent.

Is,
BrOtherhOOds Not
Likely to Call
Strike Rail Workers

Chicago, Oct. 12-Little likelihood
of decision to call a strike of rail-
road workers OF the Big Four Broth
erhoods was forecast tonight by L.
+. Sheppard, president Of the Order
of Railway Conductors. After three
days and nights OF meetings, the exc
cutives and general chairmen of the
conductors, engineers and firemen
were still far from agreement as to
action tonight.
1T is likely now that there will be
no announcement made when these
conferences adjourn" Mr.. Sheppard
said. THUS far we can say nothing
and 1t now seems probable that there
will be nothing to say
Warren S. Stone, grand chief of
the Brotherhood Of Locomotive En-
giners and w. s. Carter, head of the
Brotherhood of Firemen and Engine
men declared they too would prob
ably have nothing to say, even after
the conferences.
Aoday was the busiest Of the week
After long sessions Of the general
chairmen of each o the three organi-
cations yesterday and Monday, the
executive committees of the three
brotherhoods interspersed the chair
mems meetings today with secret
conferences.
w. G. Lee, head of the Brother
hood Trainmen. the fourth body of
the big four group. arrived today to
await the action Of the remaining
trio.
Our men have voted to strike and
I will give them my authorization
the minute the other three say the
word. 1t is up to Them" Mr.. Lee
said.
He added. however, that he was
not expecting strike action and that
he would not be surprised to see the
conferences end without definite ac.
ton being taken. T. c. Cashn, presi-
dent Of the Switchmen's Union OF
North America, which also voted ia
strike. was not in Chicago today.
Railroad officers said there was nc
connection between the meeting OF
the association Of railway executives
here Friday and the big four confer.
ences. Reduction OF rates would
probably be one of the chief topics
of discussion, II was said.

Fog Puts Over to
Today Race to Select
Fisherman Defender

Gloucester. Mass Oct 12.-(By the
Associated Press).-The fishermea's
race. blotted out by fog today, wifi
be sailed off tomorrow with rivalry
the keener because of the postpone
ment.
After the five schooners entries for
the American fishing feet champion
ship had lolled about the starting buoy
TOT an hour this morning in vapors and
light airs, the race was called off TO-.
the day and the boats poked back 20
port through the fog.
1t rained for an hour but then clear
ed and sailing weather prevailed.
First Marty Welch with the Elsie.
then the Elsie G. Silva and the RaIp;
Brown slipped their mornings and
stood out to sea to get action and
another test trial. Captain Marty
brought the Elsie back early without
brush. but the other two vessels
came together for a brisk racing run
to Thatcher's Island and a beat back.
The Elsie G. Silva outfooted her rival
measurably. AS a result this knock
about schooner. the only one of her
type in the race and the last to enter,
was mentioned tonight in the Mari
ners' and Seamen's clubrooms with
the Elsie and Arthur James as a DOS
sible winner
The Elsie, however, continues the IA.
vorite. She is considered by those
supporting her the logical successor
of the Esperanto, winner at Halifax
last year of the international cham
pionship trophy which tomorrow's vic.
tor will defend. The Elsie her friends
say, is IN line because she carries
the Esperanto's captain and many of
his crew. She rescued the men of the
Esperanto when their ship went down
off Sable Island and before that time
had defeated the cup winner in
brushes on the Banks They assert
she will win the race because of ner
speed. which they estimate as being at
least 20 minutes faster over the 40
mile course.
Captain Marty said he expected to
win with the Elsie. but he admitted
that If the wind was light the Arthur
James. sailed by Judd Matheson. HIS
mate last fan. was to be feared. The
weather sharps tonight predicted a
good blow tomorrow with the wind
probably from the west.
While the course was fos-bound to-
day, Gloucester got word that q ves-
sci bound in from the fishing banks
