Rockefeller, Jr., Makes Bril liant and Sensational Address in Interest of Labor. - The National Industrial Conference I is at the pai-t?instr of the ways today. { The issue is collective bargaining, j The public jrroup to a man is es- j pcujine: the labor cause. The employ er irroup yesterday s/tood out stub bornly against it. and there is slight hope that its attitude will be chang ed today. Unless labor wins on this issue, it may withdraw from the conference. It feels that if a unanimous vote cf j the public group, standing midway between capital and labor, cannot succeed in foreinsj; trie employers to recede from a "standpat" attitude, there is no hope of the round table getting anywhere. Berrtard Barueh, and through him the entire force of the administration is now behind labor, and hi-- gen eralship is the outstanding feature of the conference. When Thos. I.. C'hadbourne. chair man of the steering committee, re ported the resolution supporting col lective bargaining to the conference yesterday, saying that the bivir and public representative on the commit tee favored it unanimously, but that the employer group opposed it. a dramatic debate was precipitated. John P. RoekefeOier, jr., made a brilliant and sen'satfon-al address in which he championed the labor con tention and staled that political de mocracy must be supported by in dustrial democracy. , Labor, capital, management, and the public, he said, a&ccmplislicd creat results during the war In* co operation. and he expressed t'he hope that the conference groups misrht "stnn'd together as unselfishly as they did in settiinjr the problem? of the war." Justice and fairness only. n~t leg islation. will solve industrial prob lems. Rockefeller emphasized.

Democrat, i->f Illinois. Mr. Rainey was moved to make lthis new effort to life the emer gency ban by the assurance of At torney General Palmer that his res ?ohit:< n of a few days ago would ?not accomplish that purpose. The ?previous ? measure declared it to be ?the sense of Congress that the ob ?jects t>f the law had been attained and requested the President to> de~ ?vlare demobilization of the army complete. 7t was believed this ac tion automatically would annul the war t ime act. i At a conference with the Con gressman yesterday, the Attorney ?General said that, personally, he .would like to see the ban lifted, if it were possible. But the President has not the authority to take this act ion. h?* added. Mr. Palmer pointed out that the emergency dry act provides that it > I all err.tinue in effect until the end of the war and thereafter until the termination of demobilization.
