American Federation of Labor officials madf another effort today to establish re lations with farmers' organizations, the federations "co-operation com mittee," appointed at the Atlantic City convention, meeting here with the representatives of several farm ers' groups. While only one delegate from a farm organization participated in the federation's "reconstruction co :er ence," which opened yesterday, it was understood the invitations sent by the committee for today's meeting were more cordially received. Fed eration officials declined to discuss the conference today, saying that the committee would make a report to the executive council of the organiza tion. Labor Wants Farmers. In view of the declaration of prin ciples adopted by the conference yes terday, it was generally believed in labor quarters that the co-operation committee had made greater progress toward a common ground on which to meet the farmers' representatives than has any previous union group. Organized labor was declared by sev eral spokesmen to be anxious to get organized farmers in the fold for the campaign which the workers plan to wage in the forthcoming election. In this connection the statement made in the declaration, adopted by yesterday's conference, appealing to "all of those who contribute to so ciety to unite in furtherance of he principles" was explained today by labor leaders 'to mean that organized labor must be joined by the "produc ing classes if its victory is to be com plete." These leaders asserted that the problems faced by organized la bor are as much the problems of the agriculturist class because they are both political and economic. Pressure Is Exerted. Every pressure is being brought to bear on the farmer groups to line them up for labor's programme, it was indicated at federation of labor headquarters. Efforts, it was said. will be made to show the farmers that the conference's declaration against radicalism means as much to the tiller of the soil as to the in dustrial worker and that the or ganlzed aid of the country worker is needed in the fight against "auto cratic control and monopolistic man euvering of the nation's raw sup plies." The whole "platform" of yester day's conference was understood to have been drafted with a view to making it as acceptable as possible to the farmers. It was the work of the conservative element of the Amer ican Federation of . abor, a-d was understood to have been prepared under the personal direction of bamuel Gompers. Gompers Refuses Changes. For the reason the platform was put out as a feeler for the farmers. Mr. Gompers would permit no changes to be made in it by the conference, according to authentic information. While it was noted that a strong sentiment for some political party declaration permeated the general conference yesterday, this, as well as the proposed indorsement of the new labor party, fell by the wayside be cause of the likelihood that it would be acceptable to few of the farmers, labor delegates said.

Manufacturer and . Honored Resi dent Long Factor of Importance in City's Business Affairs. ALBANY. Or., Dec. 14. (Snecial.) R. A. B. Veal, city councilman, promi nent manufacturer and an honored citizen of Albany for many years, died at his home here this afternoon, aged 45 years. He had been seriously ill for several days. A native of Kansas, Mr. Veal came to Albany with his parents when a boy and resided at Stayton. where his father operated a small chair factory. He came to Albany about 30 years ago and had lived here continuously ei -ce, excepting four or five years spent in Portland. As a young man he took up court reporting and was formerly official court reporter of the third judicial district. More than 20 years ago Mr. Veal became associated with his father and brother in the operation of a big chair factory which the former had estab lished here, and ever since he has been an officer of the corporation and active in the management of the plant, which now is the largest in stitution of the kind west of the Mis sissippi river. Mr. Veal was a mem ber of the present city council and also served a term in the council about 10 years ago. During the war he was an officer in the local home guard company and was active in all patriotic work. Mr. Veal is survived by his widow, Mrs. Emma Veal, and a small son, Percy Fred Veal, both of this citiy. Underwood to support the Knox reso lution to establish peace and defer action on the league, had given rise tj hope in several quarters that It might form the basis for final action, possibly this week. The view was expressed tonight, however, that op position of Senator Borah and prob ably others of the "irreconcilables" to a compromised ratification, taken together with the "president's "no compromise" statement, had reduced materially any prospect for such rat ification. Effect of the president's statement on the democratic leadership contest between Senators Hitchcock and Un derwood also wa3 a subject of much sensational speculation tonight.

When Bachelor Victor Musta, a shipworker living at 932 Third Street, left his home yesterday for work, he left the place in care of a woman whom he hired for the day to do his laundry and house cleaning. Musta returned late last night, and upon entering the house found the woman lying intoxicated on the floor in one of the front rooms. Walking to the kitchen to investigate, he found two more women on the floor, both gently slumbering. Musta's thoughts then led him to investigate his much prized cabinet where he stored his private stock of liquors. He found that several small kegs of choice wines had been drained, and besides a number of bottles of stronger drink had been consumed. He rushed in search of the police, but could find none. When he re turned the women, aroused, had dis appeared. Musta's clothes are still unwashed. WASHINGTON. D. C. Dec. 14. Congress tomorrow begins a drive to clean up pressing affairs so as to ad journ Saturday for a two weeks' holi day recess. The outcome of the pro gramme lor the week, however, lead ers of both parties admitted, was in doubt, depending on the railroad bill and German treaty maneuvers in the senate. If the Cummins railroad bill is not passed by Saturday, republican lead ers have served notice that the recess must be held in abeyance. The senate will resume its work on the railroad measure tomorrow with night sessions planned. Before the recess leaders hope to enact the McNary sugar relief bill, which will be taken up by the house early this week, and the Edge bill authorizing foreign financing corpo rations. Inquiry into treatme-t of radicals at Ellis Island will be resumed to morrow by the house immigration committee. The print paper shortage will be taken up tomorrow by the house post office committee in considering the bill of Representative Anthony, re publican, Kansas, to limit the size of newspapers and other periodicals. Views on a federal budget system will be presented tomorrow before the senate budget committee by Gover nors Lowden of Illinois and McKelvie of Nebraska. WASHINGTON, Dec. 14. Powerful financial interests are endeavoring for semsn reasons to "put across the German peace treaty through a sen ate compromise. Senator Borah, re- puuiican, laano. cnargea in a state ment issued tonight. Urging that congress investigate al- ! leged efforts of J. P. Morgan & Co. : and other financial concerns to bring about the treaty s ratification. Sena- i u . & 1 1 a.iBv aaaci icu kua.1 lllc3 in terests through "the most gigantic propaganda" proposed if possible to prevent the American people from I considering the treaty and the league ui nauuns in Liie presiaenuai elec tions next November. The financial interests. Senator Borah charged, are at work on a scheme which he outlined as having the following objects. Influence Exerted, la Charge. First Through some compromise or trade secure changes in the reser vations so as to get enough votes to put it through regardless of whether American interests are protected or not. Second Having put it through In this way, the same forces hope through their great Influence with the leaders of both political parties and their control over campaign sub scriptions to keep It entirely out of the campaign of 1920 so that the people will never have a chance to pass upon the question. In the launguage of one of the leaders." Senator Borah's statement asserted, "the thing to do is to fix up the compromise, agree upon the deal which will get the votes, then bring the treaty into the senate with the rule establishing cloture, cut off de bate and push it through. Vicious Influence Alleged. Then if they can further keep it out of the platform and out of the campaign by reason of their promi nence in the party they have accom plished their entire purpose. Men have been in Washington during the week working on this plan and they feel rather hopeful of the outlook. "The people of this country who wish to retain our political independ ence and to keep ourselves free from the turmoils and conflicts of the old world should not lose sight of the fact that there has always been back of this scheme a- most vicious influ ence. I know that many good people have sincerely advocated it, but there is an influence back of it which has been the source of the most gigantic propaganda that this country has ever known that is acting from different motives. They are perfectly willing to surrender -the policies of this coun- i try. the policies which made us what j we are. it tney can make sure their present investments and their pro posed exploitations in Europe. . Exploitation Held Factor. "Some of these institutions, one in particular, made millions out of this war. a large part of which is repre sented in European securities. They also have plans for future exploita tions of Europe. Naturally, therefore, they are interested in having the United States underwrite these se curities and stand back of these ex ploitations, and to have our boys po lice the unstable governments whose securities they hold. "J. P. Morgan & Co.. for instanc. has placed sums of Russian bonds in this country. Other securities occupy a similar position. The members of this firm have exerted a very power ful influence from the very beginning to have this league adopted. "I am in favor when congress re turns after the holidays of starting a thorough investigation and laying bare the entire profits of these con cerns, which are now spending vast sums of money to put this thing across.
