CLASHES WITH MISS

WASHINGTON Jan. 13.--The clos
ing session of the three days in
dustrial conference of women held
under the auspices of the women's
bureau of the department of labor,
was marked today by set-to with
representatives of the national
woman's party. The difficulty arose
when Mrs. Clara NJ. Boyer of New
York. an official of the woman's
party, and also a delegate from New
York to the conference. asked Miss
Mary Anderson, chief of the women's
bureau, why the woman's party, as
an organization, was not represented
at the conference.
Miss Anderson answered by reading
in full correspondence between her
self and Miss Alice Paul, vice pres
ident of the woman's party. Accord
ing to the letters the woman's party
had been invited to send delegates
but had been denied place on the
program, and Miss Paul in conse-
quence refused to authorize any dell
egation to the conference.
During the reading of the letters

dent of the National Woman's Trade

aimed at the woman,s party delegates

the ground that she was not a dele

The Paris dispatches came on the
heels of an authoritative disclosure
here that administrator officials
viewed the Hughes commission sug-

ficial talk in Paris points a possible
report to the principle advanced by
Mr.. Hughes is not known. 1t is gen
orally assumed. however, in view of
the tone of today's report from the
