(Contlnord From raff. One.
restates the purposes for which the
conference was convened, empha
sizes the urgency of the need for
allaying industrial unrest, and makes
a plea for further work on the part
of the conferees. .
Session Very Short
The morning session of the con
ference lasted only a few minutes
and the afternoon meeting, during
which quick action wasl obtained,
was not convened until 5 o'clock.
The entire day was devoted to
group meetings in an attempt to
devise another declaration on col
lective bargaining, satisfactory to
all elements. After more than three
days of almost continuous sessions,
the employers were unable to agree
upon another statement and fell
back upon the Wheeler substitute.
Members of the public group at
tempted' to effect a compromise by
the substitution of the words "as
sociation of their own choosing"
or "trade and labor unions" in the
clause of the group resolution guar
anteeing workers the right to or
ganize, and the five labor representa
tives on the general committee of
IS spent two hours in joint meeting
with the public explaining labor's
objection to the change. This
amendment was introduced by Mr,
Chadbourne, but the public group
alone voted , favorably.
Gompers Explain.
When the original Russell-Endi-cott
resolution came up for discus
sion in the conference, Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, declared that
the withdrawal of the support of the
public group, was due to an inter
pretation of 'the words "trade and
labor unions" by one member of the
group who is allied with organized
labor and that the phrase excludes
all but American Federation of.
Labor organizations. It was said
that the reference; was to J. J. For
rester, alternate for B. M. lewell.

ployes' department of the federa

COUNT TERAUCHI,
FORMER PREMIER
OF JAPAN, DIES
Field Marshal Accomplished
Many Notable Achievements '
During Tenure In
Office.
.J'okio, Oct" 21. (By The Asso
ciated Press.) Field Marshal Count
Seiki Terauchi, former premier of
Japan, died today.
One of the most famous warrior
statesmen of modern Japan, field
Marshal Seiki Terauchi s notable
achievements included his solution
of the problem of national defense
for Japan and his success in annex
ing Korea and the assimilation of
the Korean people into the Japanese
empire during his administration as
Kovernor general of that colony.
The results he attained in Korea
had marked him as a commanding
figure and one to be reckoned with
in shaping the destinies of the Japa
nese empire.
Count Terauchi was a member of
the famous Choshu clan, from which
have sprung renowned leaders of
the Japanese army. He was born on
February 5, 1852, at Nagato, and
was the son of a samurai. He dis
tinguished himself, as a young sol
dier of the Imperial's Guards regi
ment, in putting down Sai go's re
bellion, 'in which service he was
wounded in the .right arm, as a re
sult of which that arm thereafter was
useless.
Although outdone by more brill
iant soldiers, Count Terauchi won
distinction as a military administra
tor and wop promotion as major
general and appointment as the
president of the Japanese military
staff college.

Detroit, Mich.. Oct. 21. National
legislation for the regulation of
moving pictures and revision of the
national constitution to provide s
way for the passage of uniform mar
riage and divorce laws is demanded
in resolutions adopted in the
house of bishops of the Protestant
Episcopal church, meeting in tnen
nial general convention here.) These
resolutions will be presented also in
the house of deputies.
Bishop E. V. Shaylor of Nebraska
presented a resolution asking that a
special committee of congress be
named to consider the relation be
tween filmed plays and the growth
of crime among the youths of the
nation and to recommend legisla
tion. In this ' connection Bishop
Shaylor made the assertion that the
recent race troubles in Omaha,
which resulted in the lynching of a
negro, the killing and wounding of
others and an attempt to hang the
mayor of the, 'city, was due, in part,
to the influence of improper moving
pictures.
Drys Win Ontario
By Large Majority;
Conservatives Beaten
"Toronto, Ont, Oct' 21. -Incomplete
returns from yesterday's elec
tion, in which . Sir William Hearst,
premier of the province, and the
conservative government, have been
swamped, indicate that Ontario has
gone "dry" by an overwhelming maj-jority.
Throughout the province, especial
ly in the rural districts, the prohibi
tion wave has rolled high. The vot
ing was 3 to 1 in favor of it in some
districts.
The defeat of the Hearst conserva
tive was, according to the Mail and
Empire, due 'mainly to the large
vote polled by the united farmers
and labor candidates, who took. 43
and 12 seats, respectively. The lib
erals, notwithstanding their winning
of five seats in Toronto, will stand
apparently as they were before in
the last legislature.
The largest single party in the
new house will be" the farmers. By
alliance with either of the old parties
and the labor party it should com
mand a good working majority.
Capt. Smith Completes
Round Trip Air Derby;
Is Given a Reception
San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 21.
Capt. Lowell H. Smith, first of the
Pacific coast entries to complete the
round trip army test flight across
the continent, arrived at the Pre
sidio flying field Tuesday at 9:44:53
a. m. His flying time was not com
puted by local air service officials,
so no comparison could be , made
with the speed of Lieut B. W, May-
nard, the first Atlantic coast entrant
to finish the journey;
Captain Smith was tendered a re
ception in the city hall here after his
arrival by Mayor Rolph, Lieut. Gen.
Hunter Liggett and Col. H.H. Ar
nold, chief of the western depart
ment air service.

Washington, Oct. 21. Laying
aside the peace treaty, the senate
took up and passed with only a few
chances a deficiency appropriation
bill carrying approximately $42,000,
000, an increase of $28,000,000 over
the house bill. The measure now
goes to conference.

visions in the bill are appropriations
of $15,000,000 for the army air serv
ice, $17,000,000 for the completion
of the Alaskan railroad, $5,000,000
for the fedeaal board for vocational
education to be used in the rehabili
tation of soldiers, $200,000 with
which to pay the expenses of the
American peace commission ana
$108,212 to be used in defraying the
expenses of the present industrial
conference and the international
labor conference. . I
Cabinet Holds its Regular
Weekly Business Meeting
Washington, Oct 21. President
Wilson's cabinet held its usual
weekly meeting at the White House
today with Secretary Lansing of thf
State department presiding. Owing
to the absence of Secretary Wilson,
who was conferring with represen
tatives of the coal miners and oper
ators, the threatened strike ot
bituminous coal miners November 1
was not taken up. I
jority Agrees on
Treaty Reservations
(Continued Front Fafe 0nc.) t
general prediction tonight was that
committee -action would be fought
off tomorrow to give the adminis
tration forces a day or two to think
the matter over. (
Had No Actual Wording.
In their conference today the
democratic leaders did not have be
fore them the actual wording of the
reservations, as agreed on by the
majority, but they had been told
that the four generally regarded as
most important, relating to with
drawal, domestic questions, the
Monroe doctrine and article 10 fol
lowed almost word for word" the
language of those put into the sen
ate record by benator McCumber.
Most of the argument therefore,
was over these four as presented by
th Vnrth HalfAta ..naenr
In all. seven reservations were in
the McCumber series, the other
three relating to . Shantung and
equal votes in the league.' Mr. Mc
Cumber was one of the seven on
inal "mild reservationists," who, un
der the leadership of Senator Mc
Nary, republican, Oresron. asreed
last July to a definite program. He
said the plan he presented was. the
outgrowth of conferences between
this group and republicans who fa
vored stronger reservations.
Taft's Reservations.
It was revealed that the McCum
ber draft of the article 10 reserva
tion, which has been the trouble
some point in all negotiations for
an agreement, follows very closely
a draft which former President Taft
recently suggested to Senators Mc
Cumber, Kellogg, republican, Minne
sota; McNary and Colt, Rhode Isl
and, republicans, and which they
submitted to Republican Leader
Lodge. The text of the new Taft
reservation, together with one
drawn by him regarding voting
powers in the league, became pub
lic tonight for the first time.
Former President Taft's suggest
ed reservations are as follows:
"The United States assumes no
obligation under the provisions of
article 10 to preserve the territorial
integrity or political independence
of any other country or to interfere
in controversies between other na
tions, whether members of the
league or not, or under any article
of the treaty for any purpose to em
ploy the military and naval forces of
the United States except as in any
particular case, the congress, which,
under the constitution, has the sole,
power to declare war and to au-'
thorize the employment of the mili
tary and naval forces of the United
States, shall by act or joint resolu
tion so specifically determine.
Can't Have Representative.
"The senate advises and consents
to the treaty with the understand
ing and reservation as part of the
instrument of ratification that under
article one of the covenant of the
league of nations no self-governing
dominion or colony of the British
empire, of France, of Italy, of Japan,
of the United States or of any other
nation, whose representative is al
ways a member of the council, can
have a representative on the coun
cil: and with the further understand
ing and reservation that the exclu
sion of the parties to the dispute
in article 15 from the council or as
sembly when bearing such dispute,
includes both the mother country
and her self-governing dominions or
colonies, .members of the league,
when either such mother country or
dominion or colony is a party to the
dispute."

Business Organization
Limited to League of
Nations Members Voted
Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 21.
Creation of a permanent interna
tional organization of business men
whose membership shall be limited
to countries represented fh tho

voted by 350 delegates, representing
46 subcommittees of the interna
tional trade conference now in ses

mercial intercourse of nations, to se
cure harmony of action on all inter
