President Wilson, In a Labor day message to American i workers, announced that be would call I In the near future a conference of rep- : rosentatives of labor and Industry to discuss fundamental means ot belter , Ing the whole relationship of capital : uid labor and putting the whole ques- j tlon of wages upon another footing. The president said he was encourag- ' ed and pleased with the results thus far of the government's efforts to ! bring down the cost of living and ex pressed confidence that substantial re- ' tilts would be achieved In the solving ot this problem. , Presumably referring to the exist ing labor unrest and threats of strikes, the president appealed to every citizen to refrain from doing anything that would tend to Increase the cost of living, but instead to do all possible to promote production. Tbe president expressed particular gratification at the attitude taken by the representatives of organized labor In supporting the government's pro gramme to meet requests for increases through a lowering of living costs and said he hoped that the workers them selves would "move with the govern ment Instead of against it In the solu tion of this great domestic problem."
