Mlore than i this, the president is knowni to believe thut on the outcome of the (coflll(rence today depends in a gr.Ot ncalsure thle security and hap piness of tie United States, both in tornally and internationally. First, what lihe conference does will have an effect on the high cost of living. If capital and labor can rea ch a1 basis of hla.,rUonious action, the presilent has made iplain, produc-: tliin will increase, and this will bring i do1wn pric(es. Furthermore, capital wvill be more readly to unldertake new entlerprises botht at llonle and abroad. Seto'oid, what deisionllS the con ference t'e:lclhes will have a dretrnlinl ilng effect on whether there is to be a constantll recurrence of strikes that h.lve( folltowed one another since .the signing of the armistIce. Unless they do end, well informed officials here believe this country is facing an upheaval that will shake every na tinn ott the glabe.

He has I never explained the phirase in detail, 0 but briefly it is taken as meaning!, Ihat he believes the workers must V have a larger share in the nlanage- 0 llent of enterprises. a Those, broadly, are the three t tlhings it is hoped to bring from the meeting that opened today. a Mliany Important Issues. iomee of the specific questions which will be before the delegates , are the strike of steel workers, the p1ostponed strike of railroad shop menlt , the scores of smaller strikes that are in progress now, the Plumnb itlan for nationalization of railroads -all problemns which enter Into the present critical industrial situation. While it is known that the presi tient Ias had in mind for some time; the calling of an industrial confer-t once, thle situation brought about by demlands of the railroad and steel ien brought the call for it on Labor day. It met with approval of labor leaders. I The president named 22 repre-j4 sentatives of the public. hMost of these men are either looked upon as imemtbers of the employed or employ-! ing class. Twenty-two other repro-1 itentatives were named by the Cham b1er of Commerce of the United States, the American Federation of Lablor, investment bankers and farm I organizations. In his invitations to the confer-!' once, as in his original call for it, the president emphasized that it was for the development of a new reta tionslip between capital and labor. l)elegates who assembled today ranged from men like John D.

Foster, secretary of the national committee for organizingd Iron and steel workers, to be pre sented to the proper authorities: "The pyramidal impudence of the state constabulary in denying charges 1 of brlital assault perpetrated by I themt upon peaceful citizens of the f Iborough of Braddock, prompted me ( to send a elelgram to the governor r of Pennsylvania in which 1 have voluntarily offered to bring forth < two specific cases of bestial trans- I Sgrossion of their 'calling.' 1 "On Monday last (Sept. 221 at 10.) a. in., my congregation leaving church was suddenly, without cause; whatever, attacked on the very steps of the Temple of God by the con stables and dispersed by these iron hoofed Huns.
