Herbert Hoover, former food ad

Labor Must Uo Its Share.
Jfr. Hooter was invited to the
meeting' it was explained, be
cause of his wide knowledge of
economic and industrial condi
tions In America. - It was Indi
cated also that the f council de
sired and - had obtained from
him . "data which eminent en
gineers have gathered on ques
tions pertaining to or affecting
labor.' Members who are in the
coanril meeting . behind closed
doors, were disinclined to talk of
tit discussions. ' There was evi
fence however, that Mr. Hoover's
Hews did not place all blame for
toaditions now confronting labor
on employers. Much data has
been, gathered by the federation
vita respect to economic condi
tio&s throughout the country. It
it known alpo that during today's
conference some members of the
coanril. while holding employers
lirfely responsible for present
conditions, admitted that indi

was nodersteod to have told the
conference that labor must do its

make for unemployment.

Council members said they had
been deeply Interested in Mr.
Hoover's' discussion of existing
conditions because of its bearing
on the federation's search for
methods which will avoid inter
mittent operation of industry and
ronrequent unemployment. It is
nderatood Mr. Hoover was told
that labor leaders regarded the
action of some employers In clos
ing plants or operating on part
time as "little short of a social
crime."
With 'this view, however, the
former food administrator was
a!4 not to have agreed, explain

WESTERN UNION
MAKES CHARGE
Carlton Declares State De
partment Treated Bills
in Own Way
WASHINOTOX, Nov. 16.
Charges made in New York today
by Newcomb Carlton, president
of the Western Union Telegraph
company that the state : depart
ment had acted arbitrarily in deal
ing! with bills for cable 'service
rendered it, served to throw the
triangular controversy between
the company and the department
into the open for the first time.
It 'did not, however, evoke any
formal reply from government of
ficials, although there were indi
cations that, the department was
preparing to issue, .possibly tomor
row, a formal statement.
' Mr. Carlton's statement was the
first. to be made by. either party.
It explained the refusal of his
company to handle -any but pre
paid messages for the state de
partment as notice that the state
department shall not""arbitrarily
decide what it shall pay and when
it shall pay Tor the use of the
company's facilities."
This order was issued Novem
ber 10. it was said, at the depart
ment,' and ostensibly was appli
cable to all departments, but it Is
understood, to have been enforced
only against the state department.
Officials of that department re
gard it as retaliation for refusal
to grant the company permission
to land a cable, at Miami, Fla.
Under Secretary Davis and the
solicitor conferred today and are
understood to have considered le
gal processes to which the depart
ment might have recourse against
the company. '
The controversy dates back to
August, 1919, when the depart
ment stopped payment to the
Western Union for all cable mes
sages. Officials explained today
that payment bad been withheld
because the company was with
holding the government rebate of
50 per cent on cable message
transmitted from abroad.
In correspondence with the
state department, the Western
Union, company, according to of
ficials, hag never accepted the
right of the government to a re
bate but has claimed it was grant
ed voluntarily. Before resuming
payment on messages, the depart
ment' desires to have the right of
rebate fixed as a principle gov
erning all future business with
the company.
Announcement today by the
Western Union in New York of
arrangements with the German
telegraph administration for the
handling of cable traffic between
Germany and the Unted States
was explained tonight by officials
as in conformity with plans of
the state department for re-estab-lishment
of such communication.
Vvhether the nresent dispute with
the Western Union would inter
fere with previous negotiations
for the exchange with the British
of a trans-Atlantic cable com
pany for the German cable now
held by Great Britain officials de
clined to say. It w as stated that
for the present negotiations! wit n
the company on this projert were
at a standstill. j

Texas -vacation. Mr. Torres made
a special plea that the senator be
present at Obregon's inaugura
tion in Mexico City on Novem
ber 20. V
Mr. Harding is represented by
his friends as weighing carefully
two considerations before making
a decision. It is declared he ix
anxictis to take every step to
cement relations between the two
rcpnblics but that on the other
hand he Is determined to do
nothing that, might be construed
as .an international impropriety

He has told friends that if he

country he will do so solely! as a
private citizen and not in any
sense as an oificial representa

here tomorrow and will take ship
at New Orleans Thursday for the
canal zone on a vessel which is to
delay its sailing to accommodate

ville with Jfr. Torres and wa
present at the conference be
tween the Mexican envoy and Mr.
Harding. Afterward neither Mr.
Torres nor Mr. Harding would
make any comment but Mr. Fall
said the talk had been a most
friendly one and that it was his
understanding that an . effort ;
would be made to change the
tailing schedule as to permit a
short stop at Vera Cruz or some
other port.
Governor Calls on Harding.
Senator Harding today re
ceived a formal call of courtesy
from Governor W. P.' Hobby, who
came here on a special train to
thank him for his visit to Texas.

public." He declared that Mr.
Torres, who has been connected
v.ltb the Mexican embassy at

fically commissioned by General
Obregon and the present govern
ment at Mexico City.

ticular desire of the Mexican gov
ernment and General Obregon."
continued Mr. Fall, "that Senator
Harding should find it possible
to be in the city of Mexico on
November 30 when General Obre
gon will be inaugurated.
"It was explained that an
itinerary could be arranged for
Senator Harding's trip to and
from the canal zone by which it
would be possible for him to be
In Mexico City and yet keep his
engagement to land at Norfolk,
Va.. on December" 4.
Yioit Would Cement Friendship.
"Mr. Torres urged the very
earnest desire from the Mexican
government and from General
OMfRon that this visit should
afford opportunity .for fitting
testimonial of the friendship and
amity of the Mexican people and
government for the United States
nnd likewise of a reciprocal feel

Harding toward Mexico.

heavy gaiu over the 1910 popu
lifelation both in . totals and in
relation to the number of male
Japanese. I
California with a total popula

Japanese total In 1910 of 41.556
which was an increase over 1900
of 31.20S, or 307.t per cent. The
Japanese population in 1910 con

DISCUSSIONS
OF LEAGUE OPEN
LordRobert ecil Contends
for Open Meetings of

GENEVA. Nov. 16. (By The

principle of open discussions
might apply to the work of the

was a question which r urn I shed
the feature of today's vesslons. It
brought Into contest for the first
time in a sharp debate two of the
chief figures among the delegates.
Lord Robert Cecil, representing
South Africa, contended for open
meetincs of the committees as well
as or the fall assembly. Rene Viv
ian! or the French delegation,
stoutly defended the parliamen
tary tradition of private commit
tee work with' subsequent publi
cation or the minutes. Ilia view
prevailed after a prolonged dis
c usslon.
Lord Robert pleaded strongly
that the assembly make a stand
In lavor or full openness ot dis
cussion. M. Vlvianl pointed out that all
precedents were to the contrary.
In the dispatch of a mass or bus
iness before them, committees, be
aid. mere obliged to talk ques
tions over privately.
Lord Robert said that British
precedents differed from the
French.
A compromise was finally
reached between ft two by which
the committees will be permitted
to hold open session when they
see fit, the minutes of the delib
erations to be published as soon as
possible after the sesaions.
Signor Tlttonl. Italy. M. Viv-

For the biennlutn now cioslna
the lejcialalure appropriated S0

part or the leglsaltare toward the
livestock exposition, contrasted
with the small appropriation for
premiums at the state fair, arous
ed considerable feeling among
some of the livestock tnea of the
state who tear that the livestock
department will be takta away
from the state fair entirely. The
exposition company's request for
$75,900 for the next two years
probably will bring matters to a
bead.
