NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Industrial Conference Begins Its Efforts to Accomplish a Tremendous Task. MANY PUNS ARE SUGGESTED Radical Element In the 8teel Strike OettJna the Worst of It British Railway Strike Ended Senate easHock on Peace Treaty Possible. y EDWARB W. PICKARD. Alarm ever flbe condition of Prcsl at Wllaaa was considerably allayed fcjr flm favaraMc reports Issued lust weak by ato physicians. He was kept quiet, ta anHe of sis protests, and was not permitted to pay any attention to the warn f public business awaiting him. Ike reamlt of this treatment was bis ateaty iBapravemcnt, though he ssay not be able ta resume his ofllclal daMea far aecoe time. The Inactivity Irke bJbi greatly and Mrs. Wilson and the aaoeorB had to exercise their In geaotbj ta keep Wui from getting in coauBMaJcatlea with public men. Of causae the president could not attend the opening of the Industrial coafcrenoe which he had summoned, bat M began Ha sessions, la the Pan Aaerlaaa batldlng, with 60 delegates present, eaaatly divided among tho patlic, the employers and labor. Scc retajy ef the Interior Lane was made peraaacat ehalrmna and then the del egates, frpHt Inta groups, got busy on the program that should be followed. Nataaally, tbey were swamped with suggeetioM of an sorts and from all porta at the country, and the job of sifting eat the reasonable plans was a big one, The rnlcs adopted were de signed to preyent tho wasting of time by extremists and cranks who might wtaa to tatk at length on their theories, whether radical or reactionary. The somewhat hazy but mighty task let for tfcta conference Is the discovery of aooae atctnod of accomplishing In dustrial peace, of bringing nbont an understanding between employers and workers, of ending or lessening strikes and lockouts so that production may be increased and high costs lowered. Every group, nnd probably every Indi vidual delegate, nas more or less defi nite Ideas as to how all this may be nc- ciaJI bated, and It is to he hoped the conference can hit on tho right ones and bring abovt their adoption. The first plan presented to the con ference was for nn Immediate Indus trial truce to continue throe months, which weak) atop all strikes nt once. Thin was proposed hy Chairman 15a ruch at the pnhllc group, and follows the aekeme ndoptod In France. The second proposition, made by Chairman Gompere ef tho labor group, wns for Immediate arbitration of the steel strike by n board of six, two to be ap pointed hy each group In the confer ence; thin contemplated the Immcdlnto return of the strikers to work pending the results of the arbitration. A third resolution, offered by Oavln McNah of Boa Francisco, of tho public group, was for n permanent arbitration board. of which nil living cx-prcsldcuts shall be members. state authorities and staged somo riot ous demonstrations the federal troops were sent there in a hurry and quiet wns nt once; restored. Gen. Leonard Wood, commanding the central depart ment, hastened from Omaha, whero ho had been suppressing tho race wnr, nnd took personal commnnd In the steel town, lie turned his attention immediately to the reds and a raid on tiioir headquarters wus productive of quantities of revolutionary matter, to sny nothing of pins nnd ammunition. Martial law was proclaimed und then General Wood established n censor ship on an news relating to raids nnd arrests hy the military. It wns mude clear thnt the. troops were there to pre serve liven nnd property and not to In terfere with the strike, but as soon as the radicals were routed and the sol diers were posted throughout the town tho steel workers who wished to work returned to the mills in greatly In creased numbers. In tho entire Chi cago district mnny more plants re sumed operation, the average force be ing perhaps CO per cent of normal. In tho East also the authorities were active against tho radicals, Uie most spectacular happening being n raid nt Welrton, W. Vn., In which 187 alleged members of the h W. W. were seized, marched to the public square nnd forced to kneel and kiss the American flag. Seven of them were held by fed eral agents und tho rest were run ottt ef tho town. These were nil Finns and tho strike lender there said If It was trao that they wcro reds organ ised labor would not defend them. Though the peoplo of the United States generally have no great lovo for tho United States Steel corpora tion, and though Chairman Gary did not arouse any increased sympathy for It by his talk to the senate committee on labor, there Is a widespread feeling that a victory for It In this strike will bo beneficial to the country as u whole. what the pres'dctit will he willing to accept, In view of his uncompromising statements, Is unknown. Tho Italian governmental crisis having compelled the adjournment of the parliament, the peace treaties with Taxpayers of consolidated school district No. 09, TTnnillton county, hnvo Died petitions with the county super intendent asking Hint the boundary linns of six old districts from which It wns formed ho restored. About IK) per rent of the voters hnvc signed. Sentiment for consolidation hns cooled materially In this territory since a proposition to Issue J?(0.00( bonds for tiulldlng purposes was submitted. The bond Issue wns defeated by an over whelming vote. Howard Kennedy of Omaha, former tnemher of the state board of control, was elected chairman of the now state children's codo commission, which Is aitido up of fifteen persons, eight wo men and seven men, who will make a study of child welfare and home nnd K'hool surroundings In Nebraska. The suit for n writ of mandamus to compel Secretary of Stnte Amshcrry to accept the petitions for a referendum 9n national prohibition, appealed from the Lancaster district court, where the writ wns allowed, will he heard by the Mate supremo court during tho session starting November 11. Karl M. Kline or Nebraska City wns chosen president of the American Gennnny nnd Austria were ratified by royal decree of King Victor Kmmnnuel j Legion of Nebraska at the first state nnd will become effective within 15 days. All the British dominions hav ing now ratified the German treaty, Its ratification hy the empire Is complete. According to dispatches from Berlin, the threats of the supreme council to renew the blocknde brought Germany to terms nnd her troops In the Baltic countries nro being withdrawn. Tho government saves Its face by stating thnt Gen. von der Goltz has yielded to Its appeal. 1 Another complication In the affairs of southern Russia Is announced. Gen. Simon Petlurn, the Ukrainian leader, lias declared war on General Deniklne, the commander of the nntl bolshevik army that is steadily fight ing Its way up to Moscow. And at tho same time comes word that the Rus sian volunteer army has surprised nnd attacked the Ukrainians, a violent bat tle resulting. Further north tho troops of the north Russian government had some successes against the reds and Admiral Kolchak reported thnt his Siberian troops hnd recovered Tobolsk from them. An 'interesting story from IIcl8lngfors, Finland. Is to tho effect that Trotzky tried to bring about tho nrrest of Lcnlnc, hut failed und In stead was himself placed under nrrest In Moscow on orders of the bolshevik premier. The big railway strike In Great Bri tain wns settled by n compromise agreement, the main points of which nre: Work to be resumed forthwith. On- full resumption of work, negoti ations shall bo continued with tho un derstanding they will bo completed be fore December 31, 1010. Wages will bo stabilized In the Uni ted Kingdom nt their present level up to September 30, 1020. Any time after August 1, 1020, they may ho reviewed In the light of circumstances then ex isting. No adult railway man shall receive less than CO shillings a week so long ob the cost of living Is not less than 110 per cent above prewar prices. Also, tho principle of tho '"open shop" was maintained. Tho American troops that have been serving In Siberia nro beginning to come home, nnd tho public should bo prepared to hear all kinds of stories of the shocking hardships these lads think they hnvo undergone. Further more, It Is said to be certain tluit In vestigation Into the actions of certain of their officers will be demanded. The morale officer who was sent to Siberia by the wnr department snys there Is llttlo foundation for tho complaints that nre sure to be mnde as soon ns tho men nro discharged, but that will not stop the Impending clamor. If Sonne! Oompers and tho other conservatives who have dominated, and presumably still domlnnto the Aaacrlcaa PVdcrntlon of Labor, nre wholly sincere, they must he secretly pleased with the developments In the atod strike. It Is becoming more nnd more apparent thnt tho strike was forced and is being managed hy the radicals who huvo been trying to gain control ef union labor In America, nnd there Is Increasing evidence Uint those radicals aro going to full In both their lnMBodtote aad their ultimate alms. Uncle Sam Is taking a hand In the sit uation nnd the "reds," most of whom are foreigners la symnpthy with, if not In actual communication with tho bol abertkl of Europe, are finding thnt he Is not to be trifled with. When the radluls at Gary defied the local and Senator Cummins says his commit tee ou Interstate commerce Is going to force a vote in congress on two great labor questions compulsory arbitra tion nnd the right of organized labor to strike regardless of tho public wel fare. Tills Is to be done by n fuvnruhlo report on the Cummins railroad bill. The measure has provisions prohibit ing strikes nnd lockouts on thu trans portation systems and creating n board before which disputes between the workers and the corporations must be tuken for settlement. This bonrd would have four members from each side, and In caso of a dcudlock the qacstlon at Issue would be referred to a hoard of fivo named hy the president. Mr. Cummins predicted tho senate would approve of the nntl-strike fea tures of the bill, despite the opposition of tho American Federation of Labor and tho railway brotherhoods. The predicted deadlock In tho son ute bocmed Inst week In n fair way to become a reality. Little progress to ward a vote was made and Senator Hitchcock told Secretary Tumulty to let the prcsldcut know there would bo nothing concerning the treaty requir ing his attention for some time, Tho probable dnto of final action on the pact has been advanced to November 10 and there Is n chance that the dead lock will not he broken until much Int er. The Democratic senntors who fa vor the treaty as It stands, being nu merous enough to defeat ratification, seem determined to compel nt leant tho adoption of the very mildest of reser vations Instead of the Lodge program. Mr. Hitchcock hns admitted the neces sity of some sort of a compromise, but The Italian council of ministers hna proposed n solution of the Flume ques tion, namely, that tho city be occupied by regular troops pending a decision by tho pence conference as to Its dis position ; but this Is to be conditional on Italy's being given tho mnndato to i administer tho nffnlrs of tho city un der tho League of Nntlons. The Ital ians were greatly exercised by the re port that their government hnd re ceived warnings ns to Flume from both Grent Britain and tho United States. It Is true that Bnron Ilnrdlnge, under secretary for foreign affairs, told Italy that Britain was surprised thnt tho D'AnmmzIo mnttcr was not being set tled more speedily, but there Is nothing to show that any such message went from Washington. Mennwhllo D'An ntinzlo maintains his hold on the dis puted city nnd prepnres for wnr with the Jugo-SlavB. Ills observers hnvo told him the Serbs nro concentrating In lnrge numbers, so he hns mined tho harbor nnd placed his troops on the , lines of defense The Serbian ofllclnls, on tho other hand, deny they seek hos tilities with tho Italians or or prepar ing for n fight. If any forco Is gather ing to try to tnko Flumo It Is cora I posed of volunteers.
