1 . The industrial; peace conference came to a close last night!
after an . all day session,- in which every > phase of the labor ques
tion was discussed. >( As a lasting result of the convention steps
were taken -to form a local -branch of the National civic federation/
Resolutions were 'adpoted empowering Chairman Adolph . Miller,
of the conference to appoint, with -the cooperation of the Civic
league, a general committee of 45, to be chosen from the citizens^
at large and to be composed of 15 representatives of the employers,!;
15 of the labor unions and a like number from the great third',
party, the public. This body, in no sense official, will undertake to?
prevent strikes and lockouts in the future, and when they do
occur -to .adjust the difficulties as v \u25a0"*
speedily as possible.
: , 'Ai feature' of the session "was the
vote ;of .thanks extended to .Professor
Simon Newcomb; the -."noted astrono
mer, 'whose .. speech on the , second \u25a0 day
of .the. conference was followed by the
request of Hugh Craig orthe chamber
of commerce that the conference ' guard
against .."academic- hibernation.? Fear
ing that ; Dr. Newcomb had taken the
remarks as an insult, the conference
determined yesterday to. make what

the motion for a vote of thanks to the
