I iDU RAL, PUCE Show Desire to Make Washington Conference One of Action In stead of Oratory Washington, Oct. 6.-Representa ,Ives of the public evinced a. spirifed esire for action, ratler than orat6ry, it the opening session today of the industrial conference called by Presi lent Wilson., Apparently with the determination >f differentiating this conference from many similar gatherings held in Washington ,the public's delegates. de nand that sessions be held night and lay, if necessary 'to' establish a basis Eor harmonious relations between capi ;al and labor during the present ab iormal ecenomic conditions. Bernard M. Baruch, of Niw York, me of these delegates, was' active in iirecting the affairs of the confer mnce,. which was considered significant n view of his close friendship with resident Wilson and his frequent vis ts to the White House. After the appointment of commit ces on nominations and rules', the onference adjourned to meet tomor 'ow morning. Gavin McNab of San rancisco, a representative of the >ublic was mentioned prominently for >ermanent chairman of the conference ut members of both committees de lined to indicate what their recom nendations would be. A motion to adjourn by W. D. Mahn ne of the delegates of the American 'ederation of Labor, brought the first ndication that the men named to rep esent the public were prepared to orce results. Thomas L. Chadbourne, f New York, who sat with Mr. Ba uch, took the floor imniediately. "All the men on both sides and in he middle of this hall," he said, re erring to the seating arrangement Thereby the delegates of capital and abor were on either hand of the pub ic's seats, 'are here to work as apidly as' possible and to adjourn as ittle as possible; and to know that he men in the middle of this situa ion want to carry on these confer nces day and night, if necessary, .to et through. I ,would like very much see the motion changed so we can feet again this afternoon or eve- I ing." Mr. Mahon explained that a' meet ig of the executive council of the ederation had been called some time reviously which it was impossible to ostpone and Mr. Chasbourne with row his suggestion. Later on, how- I ver, Mr. McNab took the floor with he same thought as that expresseh y Mr. Chadbourne. Virtually every delegate was in his eat when Secretary Wilson called the ieeting to order in the Pan-American Jnion building's beautiful hall of he Americas. John Barrett, director eneral of the Union, in welcoming the elegates to the use of the building, rected through the generosity of the ite Andrewv Carnegie, called atten ion to the fact that this conference, ndleavoring to stabilize industrial ence, wvas meeting in a structure dec- I oted to maintaining the peace of the I restern hemisphere. Secretary Wilson told the dlelegates hey had been given opiportunity for plendid achievement and wvished them ;odl speed on behalf of the Pres'ident. The only dliscordlant element .affect ng the conference was the absence ofI ohn L. Lewis, of the United Mine Vorkers, wvho is engaged in wage no ~otiations that threaten a strike, and prank Duffy, of the carpenters, who vas saidl to have dleclinedl to attend he conference. Officials of the Am er can Federation of Labor, however, aid that as representation in the con erence was not on the basis of trades, oth miners and carpenters might be Iaidl to have spokesmen in the -other abor dlelegates. All of the railroadl mnions sent delegates. )RCHARD AND GARDEN NOTES Clemson College, October 7. n all sections of South Carolina, ~abbage plants, for setting the upring crop, may be growvn from eedl sown in the open ground dur ng early October.
