SEEK GUIDANCE
ON INDUSTRIAL
BOARD PLANS
Tentative Itecoairaondatlon For
Htrlko Prevostlve ComraliMlonit
Made Public In Order to Induce
Comttnictlve Criticism of Plans
WASHINGTON, D. C, Doc. 30.
Tontatlvo recommendations for tho
eatubllflhment of machinery to pro
Tent or retard labor conflicts In pri
vate Industry bavo boon announced
by tho President's Industrial confer
ence with a vlow to obtaining con
structive criticism before a final plan
Is adoptod.
Tho plan as outlined now contem
plates the creation of a national In
dustrial tribunal an 1 reglonnl board
of Inquiry and adjustment, which
would move to tho settlement of de
putes before thoro wus any stoppage
of production. Decisions would have
tho full force and effect of a trade
ngreomont between tho purtles to tho
dispute
Tho conforenco has not yet reach
ed a decision with regard to em
ployes of public utilities, but It Is
known to have boon dobatlng seri
ously whothor such workurs have
tho right to strike, Inasmuch as they
are engaged In public service
Utilities KsNentlnl
nomurklng that somo public utili
ties, such us railroads, aro essential
to tho vory oxlstonco of tho people
the conference's tontatlvo statement
expressed tho opinion that tho "In
terruption In such essential public
utilities Is Intolerable."
Government employes, tho third
class into which tho wage earning
public aro divided, should have tho
Tight to associate for mutual pro
tection, the statement doclared, but
"no Interference by any group with
tho continuous operation of govern
ment functions through concerted
cessation of work or threats thereof
can bo permitted."
When the conference reconvenes
January 12, public hearings will bo
held to obtain oxport advice as to
the drafting of tho llnul recommen
dations In tho light of such criti
cism of the tentative roport as may
bo received.
Whllo stating that 'ht this time U
was believed more essential to de
vise machinery for averting conflicts
than to undertako a discussion of tho
causes of unrest, tho conference in
dicated clearly tho general principles
on which it has based Its recom
mendations. Fellowship Needed
"Our modorn industrial organlzi
tlon," the tontatlvo report said, "it
It is not to bocomo a failure, must
yield to tho Individual a largor sat
isfaction with life. Not only
must the theory that labor Is a com
modity bo abandonod, but tho con
cept of loadorshlp must bo substi
tuted for that of a mastership.
Human fellowship in Industry must
either be an empty phrase or a liv
ing fact.
"Ponding tho growth of better re
lationships between employers and
employes, the practical approach to
the problem Is to devise a method of
preventing or rotardlng conflicts by
providing, machinery for the adjust
ment of differences. To bo success
ful such tribunals must be so organ
ized as to operate promptly as well
as Impartially. The plain fact
is that tho public has long been un
easy about tho powor of great em
ployers; It Is bocomlng uneasy about
tho power of great labor organiza
tions. Tho community must be as
sured against domination by either.
"Tho plan which follows does not
proposo to do away with the ulti
mate right to strike, to discharge or
to maintain tho closed or tho o;ion
shop."
Tho national Industrial .tribunal,
suggoBtod by tho conforonco, would
consist of nine members appointed
by tho President, three oach repre
senting tho employers, employes and
tho public. Tho tribunal would, In
general, bo a board of appoal, whoso
decisions must bo unanimous, but
provision was mado for public ma-

Alice Nlolsen, prima donna, ar
rlvod In this city last night, accom
panied by her husband, Dr. Loroy L.
Stoddard, a prominent surgeon and
specialist of New York, and her plan
Isto, Mr. Thomas Grisello. The party
was met at the station by ladles and
gentlemen representing the. Musical
Study Club and driven to tho White
Pollcan, where the hospitality of the
hotel and tho city was genially ex
tended by Mr. Milne, tho managor.
Miss Nlolsen and her party express
ed great surprise and pleasure at
tholr reception and ltotel accommoda
tions and Klamath Falls' White Pell
can hotel had another group of pro
minent and enthusiastic guests.
Miss Nlolsen's changing person
ality onco felt, never forgotten
radiated among the guests and visi
tors nt tho White Pelican last night.
This morning Miss Nielsen was oven
more enthusiastic. Seated before on
open window In her apartment,
breathing our mountain air and
basking In tho sunshine, she was
curious to know how much of such
perfect exhilarating weather we had.
Her rellof after tho heavy and life
less air of Los Angeles land San
Francisco was apparent.
Miss Nielsen was never thruout
her caroer In such fine voice as now.
It Is' her own assurance that after
breathing Klamath air for a day she
will sing tonight with a freedom and
enthusiasm never exceeded In her
career.
With all tho sympathy and pres
cience of the great artist Miss Niel
sen was quick to note and appreciate
the friendliness nnd spirit of the peo
ple of Klamath. She has sung In all
tho great opera houses of the world
to fho most distinguished and criti
cal audiences, but she will never
have sung to a more responsive and
enthusiastic audience than the one
that greets her tonight.

where no agreement was possible.
Regional Direct Ion
Industrial regions, probably 12 In
number, conforming to the federal
reserve system, would be outlined
and a regional chairman appointed
for each by the President. Vice
chairmen would be named by the tri
bunal, If tho work in any region re
quired it.
Panols of employers and employes
for each region would be prepared
by the secretary of commerce and
the secretary of labor, respectively,
after conferences with the employ
ers and workers of that region. Each
panel, approved by the President,
would be classified by industries
among tho employers and by indus
tries, with sub-classlflcation Into
crafts, among tho employes. Lots
would be cast to determine the order
of names In each panel.
When a dispute arose in any re
gion, tho chairman would request
each side to submit It to a regional
hoard of adjustment, consisting of tho
chairman, one representative chosen
by each side, and two unchallenged
members of each panel. Appointment
of representatives of both sides to
any dispute would constltuto an
agreoment to continue the status
that existed when tho trouble arose.
Decisions of such regional boards
would have to bo unanlnious or tho
question would bo referred by unnn
Imous voto to an umpire whose do
clsion would lio final, or to tho na
tional tribunal.
Refusal by any side to a contro
versy to submit to adjustment would

and profanely abused tho American
flag and government, tor mis reus-

Bresnan and his" companions deny
that they were guilty of disloyal ut
terances. Their version Is that Bres

good terms for a long time and
fsflends urged a Christmas peace
making, Bresnan said he was will
ing to make up and extended peate
overtures but Denehy wanted to
fight. Tho quarrel grew heated and
Denehy, alluding to lite recent appli
cation for citizenship, said, "I'm
fighting under tho American flag
now," to which one of tho Bresnan
party Is said to have replied, "Oh,
to h 11 with you and your flag,
como on" or words to that effect.
So far as Is known there Is no fed

(Portland Telegram)
"To my way of thinking, Oregon
is the best state In the Union," said
Judge G. T. Baldwin of Klamath
Falls, who has returned from an
extended trip through the East and
Middle West, during which he at
tended the Chicago International
Livestock exposition and visited St.
Paul, New York, St. Louis and other
large cities.
"The Chicago International Live
stock exposition, while larger than
that of the Pacific International
Livestock exposition, showed no fin
er stock," he continued. "In fact,
the stock which went from the North
west to the Chicago show carried off
many honors.
"George English of Prlnevllle pur
chased a black Poll-Angus 2-year-old
heifer and a carload of cattle of
the same breed for his ranch . M.
Biggs of Prlnevllle also bought stock
of the Shorthorn breed for his farm.
These herds in Central Oregon will
be a boon to farmers and cattlemen
of that locality, as they may obtain
their thoroughbred stock from these
two breeders."
While in Washington Judge Bald
win held conferences with Congress
man Sinnott and Senator Chamber
lain relative to the sale of the lands
of the Klamath Indian reservation
He said that if the 2,000,000 acres
of land available for sale is sold it
will be a great boon for the Klam
ath district and for the entire state.
This land will bring approximate
ly $20,000,000, he said and if tho
amount is equitably distributed
among tho Indians of the reservation
it will give each between $40,000
and $50,000.
Judge Baldwin will remain In
Portland to attend the annual meet
ing of the Oregon State Chamber of
Commerce Monday and Tuesday. In
all probability he will present the
proposition of the chamber assisting
In construction of the Natron cut-off
and the opening of the Klamath res
ervation lands for settlement.
