in his labr day statement lat night,
did not go as far some advocates of a
"round table' conference Idea wish
ed, it b generally accepted as a first
step toward effecting a solution of the
tangled economic and industrial con
ditions. In addition he renewed his
appeal for cooperation by everyone In
the fight on the high cost of living:.
The president, in his statement, re
cognized the unrest in the mmu of
labor. He pointed out 'the vwtintrjr Is
facing a danger greater than war, he
expressed the hope the workers will
endorse the position of their leaders
"thereby moving with the government
Instead of against It."
It is generally believed the presi
dent's statements give the labor lead
ers great support in gaining accept
ance of their program of moderation
by rank and file of workers through
otis the country. With such a confer- '
ence pending it Is felt the threatened'
steel strike will be averted and that
while the steel workers might not gain
an immediate 'conference with the
steel corporation officials, which the.v
are demanding, they, are assured of a
hearing in the general conference Wil
son will call. The railroad men are
pleased with the president's statement
announcing the conference as they
will urge the adoption of the Plumb
jdan In presenting their case. This
will bring the idea of nationalisation
and democratization of industries
squarely before the representatives of
big interests for open discussion with)
the men backing the plan, .
