Washington, Oct. 24.—With a recom mendation to President Wilson that he create a commission to carry on the work which the national industrial conference was unable to accomplish, the public group, the last remaining element of the body, finally adjourned tonight Despite two attempts by Mr. W'ilson to save from dissolution the gather ing, tonight’s adjournment brought to a formal close the conference, called by tha tOPcutive to find some com mon gr*r id of cooperation between labor capital, on the outcome of which ware held in abeyance strikes affecting the entire industrial life of the nation. ...

Washingtin, Oct. 25.—Holding the impending coal strike to be not only unjustifiable but also unlawful, Presi dent Wilson, in a statement issued to night, with the support of his entire cabinet, called on the coal miners of the nation, both union officers and members, to rescind the strike order effective November 1. The president declined to enier into the merits of the controversy between the miners and operators, but emphat ically declared that the strike, which he characterized as the most far reaching proposal in the nation’s his tory to restrict production and distri bution of all accessaries of life, had apparently* been ordered without a vote of the individual miners con cerned. For this reason, the presi- dftit served definffcrnotfce' *‘ttrarthe law will be enforced and the means tffrmg fomnrnnffStecf fKrintef&Tr of the nation in any emergency that may arise out of this unhappy busi ness.” The president’s statement was is sued tonight after his cabinet bad gone over the situation with Secretary Wilson *■ of the labor department, whose efforts . to bring miners and operators together in negotiations had failed. The cabinet, with only Sec- reta^' Lansing detained at his home by illness, met first in the morning and again tonight. ' Rear Admiral Grayson, the president’s personal physician, was summoned to the even ing session. Apparently he agreed to the submission of the matter to his patient, for soon afterward the cabi net meeting Ijroke up and the presi dent’s statemefit was issued. The president, in his statement, re viewed the steps leading up to the strike call, including the Cleveland convention of the United Mine Work ers of America, one month ago, at which the demands for a 30 hour week and a 60 per cent increase in wages was formulated. The war in Itself, the president asserted, still was a fact, peace negotiations still in suspense and troops still being transported.

No information was forthcom ing as to the president’s next move to bring industrial peace to the country. The report of the public group to President Wilson, made public by Chairman Barucn summarized the pro ceedings of the 14 days the conference was in session, put the stamp of ap proval on the plan for industrial board suggested by Secretary of Labor Wil son, and recommended the calling of another body containing industrial ex perts to undertake the peace adjust ment. It was drafted by a committee of five delegates of which John D. Rocke feller, Jr., was chairman. Although four or five conferees were opposed to final adjournment, only Dr. Charles W. Elliot, president emeritus of Harvard University, voted against the motion on final test. Delegates urged that the high cost of living and other problems be press ed for immediate solution before dis solution but a strong majority of the representatives, it was said felt that the conference virtually came to an en^with the withdrawal of the labor group Wednesday and that the public group was not sufficiently representa tive to undertake a general program, ^Mia“als^lvas^anaifap|>ed^by iropular I con^deratton that vtctima of the Adair-McMillan Clo.

The industrial board plaft of Secre tary Wilson, which met with favor, among IS delegates, provides for boards at tployers and employees in each Industry with a general board of appeals, and, as a final resort in cases of dispute, an umpire chosen by the parties to the dispute or from a stand ing list of 20 named by tha president. Several public Representatives were not present at the final session. Of these, Judg-? Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the United ^’ates Steel corporation went to New York Wednesday noon and did not i f t urn, and J. J. Forrester, president of the Order of Railway Clerks, withdrew following similar ac tion on the part of the representatives of organized labor. Secretary Lane, who first suggested the Indusn^rUconfercnce and vTo was selected as l*s '‘bairmr.i, said tcfiiy be believed the president would organ ize a new conference which\would en deavor to bring about a basis fo rin- dustrial peace. —~-~ Mr. Lane said the industrial disputes which have hpcn VioLL i n abeyance pending the outcome of the original conference probably would and should be further postponed. Officials of the American Federation of Labor, however, were not so opti mistic as to th disputes. They explain ed while action in a nunrfber of pend ing controversies haa been held up at the president’s suggestion labor generally has not been optimistic as to The results of this effort to bring abou industrial peace and they were inclined to the belief that nothing was to be gained by further delaying the Issues. Holding that the indrati oil confer ence as originally constituted accom plished more than appeared on the surface, Chairman Baruch pointed out, five results of the gathering. These he ouUined as follows: First, It brought the Issues Involved home to the entire nation. “Second, It demonstrated the great difficulty of the solution. “Third, the discussion had the effect of setting the entire people thinking and from this thought will come the solution. "Fourth, there was brought heme to all participants the intimate relation that exists between the mining inter ests of all industrial questions. “Fifth, which, as was not brought out clearly, was that both capital and labor owed to society—which is in clusive of capital and labor—the duty to produce in quantity at the lowest possible cost commensurate with the protection of both capital and labor. strike would be among both the rich and the poor of the nation, the presi dent said the proposed walkout could only be considered as unlawful and as the nation’s executive entrusted with enforcement of the law, he would use the mei.ns at his disposal to pre vent any stoppage of work. The services of the government as a mediator offered yesterday by the president through Secretary Wilson but not accepted, were again held out, the president declaring that he held himself in readiness at the request of either or both sides to appoint a com mission to investigate the situation, to effect an orderly settlement of disput ed question with due recognition of the rights of the miners, the operators and the public. There was no direct iMImatiou of what steps tbe cabinet bad discussed to prevent stoppage of work should Ihe president’s solemn warning to the miners to rescind the strike order fail of result. It was regarded as signifi cant, however, that attention was drawn in White House circles to the statement made by Secretary Baker in a recent address in Indianapolis, when Mr. Baker announced that department commaffders bad been directed to fur nish troops at the request of gover nors without referring the matter to Washington.

This recognition, he said, must come not as a privilege granted but as a matter of inherent right. V v Y • J. q. BELL, Pre*. C> C.
