Dor representatives met with rep.

II In an effort to formulate in
dustrial relations policies for the
duration Of the war.
Six spokesman from the CIO
and six from the ALL met with
IL spokesmen for industry and a
moderator named by the govern
ment. The Clio and ALL cxccu-
tive boards named their represen-
tatives. while William l.. Bait,
chairman Of the Business Advis-
DRY Council Of the Department Of
Commerce. selected the business
Spokesman.
THE first and essential obiec-
tive Of the conference" the White
House announced. twill be 10
reach unanimous agreement to
prevent the interruption OF pro-
duction by labor disputes during
the period Of war.
ut Is not expected that there
will be any hesitation on the part
Of either labor or industry to ac-
cept this basic condition on the
nations safety"
The White House added. "The
cenferees doubtless will find Il
necessary TO agree upon machine
~ by which these disputes may
amicably and finally be settled. II
Is thought this machinery might
include appropriate procedures
for adjusting disputes. for modi-
fication. and for resort in defense
industries TO some tribunal whose
decisions will be binding by agree
ment on all parties.
But II Is for the conference to
decide what form the machinery
shall take so long only as an
agreement Is reached. Since the
efficacy OF that agreement will
depend upon the voluntary coop
Grafton OF all concerned. empha-
sis Is placed on the fact that It
must represent a unanimous ac-
cord.
"The agreement, Il Is pointed
out. might include or be followed
by an agreement defining appro-
pirate practices for both labor and
management to secure maximum
production for war needs.
IN view of the gravity OF the
emergency now confronting this
country. the President urges that
the conferees reach a conclusion,
ut least upon the primary agree
rient preventing interruptions to
production. and report TO him
within n very few days after con-
vening."

garded the calling OF the con-
ference by the President rs n

Corn season is just about at

not use the actual cobs, from

Pour over boiling water, let
