Cabinet signed an agreement with the
Amalgamated Society of Engineers, em
bracing the engineers' trade, in which
the government agreed to meet the
engineers In separate conference when
ever necessary, tonight Issued a lengthy
statement appealing to the government
to adhere to this promise and avoid a
strike, which he said would seriously
Imperil the output of munitions and
other war necessities.
Mr. Henderson strongly advised the
workers In the Interest of tha war not
to lay down their tools.
"We are all weary of war," he said.
"Immediate peace Is the greatest need
of the world, but peace cannot be
achieved by one section of labor acting
by 'itself. Peace will come when the
working class movement as a whole
haa discovered by conference the con
ditions of an honorable and democratic
peace worthy of the unimaginaDie
sacrifices the people have made.
Separata Conference Desired.
After reviewing the question at issue
tha opposition of the engineers to the
manpower bill, which Mr. Henderson
desired them to abandon and declar
ing that the engineers were merely
asking a continuation of the procedure
Instituted by Premier Lloyd George
himself. Mr. Henderson said:
"I earnestly appeal to tha govern
ment that they ahould at once agree
to a separata conference. Their prea
ent attitude Is leading rapidly to
trouble. They are risking the national
causa for a point of procedure."
Mr. Henderson added that hla knowl
edge of the history of the controversy
convinced him that labor waa Justified
In Its stand.
Peace) Poller Defined.
Reverting to his declaration that an
Immediate peace waa the greatest need
of tha world, but an honorable and
democratic peace. Mr. Henderson con
tinued:
Peace must be made en theae terms
and on no other. That Is our policy. Jt
will be presented aa a moral ultimatum
to the government from an organized
democracy la all the belligerent gov
emroenta.
"I appeal In all earnestness to the
workers not to wreck this great
triumph of the International working
class movement In the field of diplo
macy by a precipitate action which
ran only end In discrediting and de
feating tha democratic cause."

A COMPLETE NEW STOCK OF

ELT REDUCING
CORSETS
Correct fashion lines may be achiaved by stout and medium f igures,
without selecting- sizes smaller than the figure demands, if Rengo
Belt Corsets are worn. Here are scientifically designed corsets, ap
parently no different than any ordinary corsets, yet tailored in such
a manner as to reduce positively, comfortably and in accord with
fashion's latest lines. All Rengo Belt models have the strength to
hold and mould the figure absolutely to their designed lines they
will not break or bulge under the most severe strain that the very
stoutest figure may put upon them. For that reason the size your
figure demands will satisfy you absolutely and you will not suffer
the discomfort of attempting to force the figure, as is usual when
medium and stout women wear ordinary corsets. There are models
for all figures some with "steelastic" webbing where extra free
dom is desired and all are boned with double watch-spring steels.

Russian Colonial Congress Begins
Sessions at New York.
NEW TORK, Feb. 1. The Bolshe
vlkl are In full control of the Russian
colonial congress, which opened here
tonight with delegates present from
all parts of the United States.
Alexander Berkman. who must go to
prison tomorrow, for opposing the se
lective service law, waa one of tha
leading figures.
The test of strength came with the
election of officers. Gregory Weln
stein. editor of Novy Mir, a radical
socialist publication, upon which Leon
Trotzky was employed as an editorial
writer when he was in this city, was
elected president by -v. large majority.
A Bolshevik also waa elected vice-president.
The second clash between the radicals
and conservatives came with the in
troduction by Natin Berkus. of the
Cleeland group of anarchists, of a res
olution which declared:
"The Russian colonial congress, rep
resenting the Russian people in Amer
ica, protests against the unjust verdict
In the cases of Alexander Berkman,
Kmma Goldman, Baker and Kramer
and demands that they be freed and
returned to Russia."
N. Horwits. one of the editors of Novy
Mir declared the resolution was too
mild. He insisted that Berkman and
the others should be freed without de
portation. He said 4hey had a right to
live where they pleaaed.
Brielo I'ho, of San Francisco, de
manded that the conference seek the
immediate liberation of Berkman and
