Washington, March 20. TJ. P.)
Kstablinhment of a national indus

ference and hoards of Inquiry la
recommended by President Wilaon'a
'Industrial conference for settlement
Of all disputes between employers

Of living, unemployment, agriculture and
public employes.. ,
yr.W STSTEM PROPOSED
The system of settlement Is as fol
low :
First The parties to the dispute may
voluntarily submit their dispute for set
tlement to a board, known as a regional
adjustment conference. This hoard con
sists of four representatives selected by
the parties and four others In their In
dustry chosen by them. The board Is ;
presided over by a trained governmental
official, the regional chairman, who acts
as a conciliator. !
Second If the regional conference
falls to agree unanimously, the mat
ter, with certain restrictions, foes, under
the agreement of submission, to the na
tional industrial board, unless the par
ties prefer the decision of an umpire
selected by them.
Third The voluntary submission to a
regional adjustment conference carries
with It an' agreement by both parties
that there shall be no Interference with
production.
GUIDE TO PUBLIC OPINION
Fourth If the parties, or either of
them, refuse voluntarily to submit the
dispute to the processes of the plan of
adjustment, a regional board of inquiry
is formed by the regional chairman of
' two employers and two employes from
the Industry and not parties to the dis
pute, this board has the right to publish
its findings as a guide to public opin

side is concerned, it will agree to submit
Its contention to a regional adjustment
conference, and if both join, a regional
adjustment conference is automatically
created.
., Fifth The national industrial board
In Washington has general oversight of
the working of the plan.
Sixth The plan Is applicable also .to
public utilities, but in such cases the

Seventh The plan provides machinery
for prompt snd fair adjustment of wage
land working conditions of government
employes. It Is especially necessary for
this class of employes who should not
be permitted to strike.
Eighth The plan Involves no penalties

to attend the last sessions.
CITE Alt TAKE
With the verdict came the reaction.
The courtroom waa crowded. Defend
ants and their wives occupied the front
rows. Spectators jammed the room to
the doors and an overflow atraggled
down ' the outside walks. . (
The verdict was read. Women began
crying, as the list of convicted men In
creased. Then there was a burst of
laughter. .An hysterical woman waa led
from the room by her friends. Others
followed her.
Tears coursed down tha cheeks of
men acquitted as they were embraced
by wives and friends.
The men convicted appeared dazed, but
the women sensed the situation and
the troubles of the defendants were
momentarily .forgotten in caring for
them. Joy over acquittal was tempered
for some, as they tried to cheer close
friends who had been found guilty.
MRS. KEVYBERRT CALM
Mrs. Newberry, wife of the chief de
fendant, was cajm at the rendering ot
the ' verdict. But she retired to her
room at the hotel immediately adjoining
the court and did not reappear until
tonight when, with her husband and
son, she left for Detroit.
When sentences were passed, after
a noon recess, the women were not In
evidence. The shock of the verdict was
too great for most of nm.
The trial began eight weeks ago and
was an outgrowth of the senatorial cam
paign of 1918, when Henry Ford sought
the nomination on both the Republican
and Iemocratio ticket. The govern
ment charged Newberry conspired to
conduct a "barrel campaign." The In
dictments were returned against 135 men
on rhsrges of exceeding the amount a
candidate may expend, using the malls
to defraud, and purchasing votes. All
were acquitted of the charge pf using
the malls to defraud.
OJtl.T 8 LEFT
The list of defendants was cut down
when 12 pleaded nollo contendere. Dur
tng the trial. Judge Sessions excused
others on the ground the evidence did
not connect them with the charges,
thereby cutting the list to 85.
Frank C. Dalley, special assistant at
torney general, who conducted, the gov
ernment's case, examined over 100 wit
nesses to show the sums of money avail
able for workers In Newberry's behalf.
He also endeavored to show that work
ers, in filing their statements, cut the
flgtires down.
The defense relied on character wit
nesses and endeavored to prove there
was no conspiracy in that Newberry
was Innocent of the plans for financing
his campaign. Defense witnesses also as
serted they considered their efforts pat
riotic in that they were attempting to
elect a militant American in place of
Henry Ford, of whose pre-war pacifist
efforts they disapproved.
Paul H. King, manager of the cam
paign, was chief witness for the defense.
He collapsed after two sessions on the
stand.
PHANTOMS APPEAR
In rebuttal the government directed
Its questions at an Imaginary witness
and answered them hypothetlcajly.
All defendants, except residents of
Grand Rapids, left the city tonight for
their homes. Attorneys were uncertain
when appeal briefs will be filed, but it
was assured they would take full ad
vantage of the 60 day stay.

King-Newberry letters the government
had no case at all. We could find no
other wty. however, after the defense
itseir had supplemented the scanty gov
ernment proof that Newberry had taken
an active part in the campaign and
shown by his own writing that he di

Newberry asserted he was not ashamed
of the conviction. He will take the case

NO SHAME IS TO BE FELT,
SAYS SENATOR NEWBERRY
Grand Rapids, Mich., March 20. (U.
P.) Senator Truman H. Newberry,
sentenced to prison for violation of the
United States corrupt practices act. Is
sued the following statement tonight :
"The great satisfaction to be drawn
from the conclusion of these proceed
ings is that there is not a word in the
record that will ever cause any member
of my family or any friends to apolo
gise for or explain or to feel ashamed.
All charges of corruption, fraud or
bribery In the primary or election were
dismissed by the court and not one
word of evidence was Introduced in con
nection therewith.
"My life-long memory of the loyalty
and devotion .of the men who were in
dicted with me always will be of the
greatest value and the fact that 118
have been acquitted is some evidence of
the extravagance of the charges pre
sented. My heartfelt congratulations
go out to these men whose actions have
been justified and who have been com
pletely vindicated and acquitted.
"The charge that I am convicted of
is a conspiracy to violate an election
law, which has never yet been reviewed
by any appellate court, nor has .toy
judicial determination of that law ever
been recorded unt'l now. I am charged
with participating, as a candid., in
an election for tenator from Mizhig'in,

SENATE TO PUSH INQUIRY
INTO VOTK FOR NEWBERRY
Washington, March 20. (U. P.) The
Ford-Newberry contest for a seat in the
senate will be pushed to a decision as
rapidly as possible, members of the sen
ate sub-committee investigating the
election declared tcmight. following an
nouncement of Truman H. Newberry's
conviction and sentence at Grand Rap
ids on conspiracy charges.
No immediate action to unseat New
berry Is contemplated, senators said.
They understand that if he does not re
sign he is entitled to his seat unless the
conviction Is affirmed by higher courts
or unless the senate investigating com
mittee finds that he did not get a ma
jority of the votes legally cast in the
Michigan election.
The recount of the ballots, which will
begin Tuesday before the sub-committee
and under the eyes of counsel for Henry
Ford and Newberry, is to determine
whether' Ford or Newberry got a ma-
jorlty of the legally cast votes. Both
charge fraud in contlng the ballots.
Senators said that If the recount
showed Newberry got the majority, fur
ther action might be suspended until the
appeal court passes on Newberry's case.
If the recount shows Ford elected, the
committee and the senate will then have
to decide, senators said, whether there
Is anything In Newberry's charge that
Ford's campaign organization committed
fraud.
Pending that inquiry. Ford would not
be seated, jt was declared.
Senators Indicated that the committee
would go no further in any event than
to declare a vacancy In the senate and
let the people or authorities of Michigan
fill it.
jom Angelea. March 20. Mildred Har
ris Chaplin, who was firm this morning
in her determination to divorce her
celebrated husband, Charles Chaplin, be
cause of his stinging published rebuke
of her allegations of non-support, to
night has let her "heart rule again and
declared In an interview to newspaper
men that she wants Charlie back "If
he will come."
"If he will come back to me I will be
only too glad." she said. "1 love him to
death. I have never changed since our
happy honeymoon."
The young film star, who at first
sought to divorce the comedian as soon
as possible, , alleging desertion, cruelty
and non-support, tonight added : "I will
do anything Charlie wants me to."
"I do not want to do anything that
will hurt or inconvenience Mr. Chaplin,"
she added. "I may even go to Nevada If
he insists that I get the divorce, as he I
has several times said that that was his !
desire. In fact. I suppose I will just .
about go any place or do anything he j
demands.". ;
What sudden chsnge of heart;
prompted Mrs. Chaplin to declare that j
she would conform to her husband s
wishes is the subject of conjecture here
tonight among motion picture people.
Meanwhile, Chaplin has nothing to add
to Mb formal statement Issued early
today. j
Registration Goal
For May Primaries
Seems Improbable
With only 30 more days in which to
register for the May primaries, the
total mark is not expected to reach
much over 85,000. Although citizens
have been repeatedly urged to turn out
and register, the 100,000 goal probably
will not be reached, according to pres
ent indications.
During the past week the voters have
been coming in at a rate of about 250
a day. Only 236 put in appearance Sat
urday, but for the entire week 1586
signed the papers.
Present statistics are as follows :
