WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. 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.

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.

HIRED WOMAN TAKES WINE
Shipworker Finds Wine Kegs
Drained; Clothes I'nwashed.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14. (Spe
cial.) 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.
