CAPITAL AND LABOR
SHARE IN DEFLATI0N
National Conference Adopts
Broad Declaration, Also a
Special One on Railroads.
>oo>oooooo>o>>~o>>

Wasi.ngton.-Opposing elements in
the national agricultural conference
forgot most of their differences in the
final session and united in denuncia-
tion of those whom they believe ara
their common enemies.
This utterance from the report Of
the Committee on Costs, Prices and Ad-
justments, which was adopted by the,
conference, sulls up the general view
of the delegates as to the necessity OF
labor and capital sharing in the de
ftation'' which has come to the farming
industry:
"There can be no restoration of ma
tional prosperity until both wages and
capital, which enter into the produc-
tion of commodities which the farmer
buys, bear their mutual and just share
in the general process Of readjustment.
Probably the chief .ource of relief
which the farmer may rightfully ex-
pect is in the form of a readjustment
between the prices of products which
he buys and which he sells"
In addition to this general statement
on the subject, a specific resolution
was adopted in regard to the railroad
situation after a discussion on labor
costs that became vehement at times.
This resolution read:
"We insist that the railroad corpora
tions and railroad labor should share
il the deflation in charges now affect
ing all industries. This is essential to
the restoration of normal conditions in
agriculture, and it is essential to the
welfare of the entire community. We
earnestly appeal to those in authority
to take such Sction as may be neces-
sc:.y in orde- to ,.ccomplish that re-
suit"

PLAN TO REWRITE
ALL RULES OF WARFARE
Resolution of Armament Commit
tee Provides for Plans at End
of the Present ParIey.

Washington. - The groundwork for
another international conference to
rewrite the laws of war for the sub
marine and other agencies of attack
on land and sea was completed by the
arms delegates.
Under a resolution adopted by the
armament committee preparations for
the new conference will begin immedi-
ately upon conclusion of the Washing
ton negotiations. The United States,
Great Britain, Japan, France and
Italy will be represented and the
American government will select the
exact time and place of meeting.
The first step toward revision Of war
fare regulations is to be taken by a
commission" presumably composed
Of international law experts without
plenipotentiary powers, but the reso-
luton provides that after they have
agreed the five governments shall con
fer as to the acceptance of the report
and the course to be followed to Sc
mendations by the other civilian pow
ers."
. 1t is taken for granted that ques-
tions of national policy, as well IS le-
gal considerations, will enter into the
final decisions reached and that the
whole problem of the submarine, one
of the storm centers of the Washing
ton conference, will be reopened when
the powers face each other once more
about the council table. 1t is possible
that the tentative agreements reached
here, both as to submarines and poison
gas, will be passed along in their pres
ent form to provide a basis for the re-
newed discussions.
