Labor Group Displays Less Im
patience and Possibility of
Ultimate Agreement Appears
to Be Brighter.'
Washintgon, Oct. 17. "Without
reaching a decision on the recogni
tion of the right of workers to bar
gain collectively, the national indus
trial conference this afternoon ad
journed until Monday. The declara
tion for collective bargaining and a
substitute offered by the employers
was referred back to the central com
mittee,. -
"With the introduction of the resolu
tion by the capital group giving its
views as ; to the right of collective
bargaining, a spirit of conciliation
was manifest today In the national
Industrial conference.
... Sheppard, head of the railway
conductors" brotherhood,' said-he saw
In the resolution a sincere effort at a
closer cooperation between labor and
capital in the meeting and declared
in . his opinion the gathering was
"just gettincf down tr business."
Announcing the impatience manN
fested by the labor group Thursday
had now given way to a willingness to
wait any reasonable length of time,
Mr. Sheppard said his group saw ev
ery prospect of a harmonious adjust
ment of the differences existing be
tween the right and left wings of the
conference as a result of the employ
ers" resolution.
The resolution by the capital group,
which Chairman Harry A. "Wheeler
said had been assented to by eleven
of the fourteen members present, fol
lows: Resolved, That without in any way
limiting the right of wage earners to
refrain from joining in any associa
tion to deal directly with his employ
er as he chooses the right of wage
earners in private as distinguished
from government employer to organize
in trade and labor unions in shop in
dustrial councils, or other lawful form
of association, to bargain collectively,
to be represented by representatives
of their own choosing in negotiations
and adjustments with employers in
respect to wages hours of labor and
other conditions of employment, js
recognized; and the right of the em
ployer to deal or not to deal with men
or groups of men who are not his em
ployees and chosen by and from among
them is recognized; no denial is in
tended . of the right of an employer
and his workers voluntarily to agree
upon the form of their representative
relations."
This was understood to outline the
utmost concessions which the cap
ital group was prepared to make. J.
"W. O'Leary, of Chicago, a member
of the group, told the conference ' no
one knew better than the employer
the value of - cooperation with . the
workers In , securing productive effi
ciency. . He added, however, any
agreement outlining the relations of
the two must be arrived at with a
clear understanding." repeating for
mer protests against "the pressure of
any one specific issue." .
"We never have denied the right of
organization and of collective bar
gaining, as we understand the term,"
said he. '
"My faith is In the government of
the United States, and not in the em
ployers, employes, or the public
alone, he said.

SHIPPING BOARD
SOUNDS WARNING
TO LONGSHOREMEN
"Washington, Oct. 17. Warning to
striking longshoremen on the Atlantic
coast that steps to operate govern
ment ships without them are in con
templation was contained in a state
ment issued today by the shipping
board. It was understood troops might
be employed to handle the ships in
port as in the case of transports. The
statement follows:
The delay on the part of longshore
men on the Atlantic coast in aband
Ing their unauthorized strike in vio
lation in their agreement to abide by
the awards of the national adjustment
commission makes IV, necessary for
the United States shipping board to
give immediate consideration to the
working of the ships under its control.
"This delay is resulting in great
in convenience to the public, in a
serious interruption in the operation
of the merchant marine, and in an ap
palling economic waste. This is a
condition which cannot be permitted to
continue, and a remedy must be found
at once to sustain these awards and
carry on the business of the country.

VISION OF VICTORY
Both He and U. S. Marshal Per
kins Believe Pensacola Will
Win the Victory Centennial
by Every Rule of Justice.
Pensacola's campaign to " bring the

had Its local wind-up last night, when
the band from the U. S. S. Rochester,
flagship of the third r squadron, de
stroyer force, now in port, gave an ex
cellent concert at Mallory Court. The

nade was held , in connection with an
exceedingly brief program of speaking.

committee of 100, and U. S. Marshal
Jame B. Perkins, made, the only talks.
The Phunmakers Trio" sang "Pensa

ferred to claims made by Jacksonville
adherents that Pensacola has no va
cant houses to take care of centennial
crowds. Mr. Perkins said he admitted
the charge and that if Jacksonville

was "a dead one and was undeserving"
of the centennial anyway. "By every
rule of justice the centennial belongs
to us" he declared.

PETROGRAD HAS
BEEN ENTERED
BY YUDENITCH
Soviet and Bolsheviki Forces
Are Apparently Being Driven
. Back Along Entire Front Ex
cept Near Riga.
ADMIRAL KOLCHAK
! ADVANCES IN EAST
Bolshevik . Forces on Line of
River Tobol Ordered to Retire
Before Onslaught of Head of
All-Russian Government.
London. Oct. 17. Bolshevik wire
less communication received here re
ports stubborn fighting about six and
a half miles west of Krasnaia Gorka
and in the region of Krasnoy E Seld
and Gatchlna, also about fifteen miles
northeast of Pakov. A wireless from
Moscow says that eleven "enemy tor
pedo boats are bombarding Krasnaia
Gorka. Stockholm dispatch re
ceived here says the army of General
Yudenitch entered the suburbs of Pe
trograd Thursday afternoon. .
Soviet troops are reported to be
leaving Petrograd, a mutiny among
the men having broken out. In any
event advices indicate the Yudenitch
forces are encountering feeble resist
ance. Bofshevik troops are said to have
captured Kiev, but in this region the
situation Is obscure. It was reported
last week Kiev was in the hands of
General Petlura's Ukranian army
which advanced against General Den--ikine'4eft-flank
following Petlura's
declaration of war on the Cossack
chieftain.
Further details of the situation
south Of Moscow .have not been re
ceived, but it appears the Bolshevik
armies in that region are launching
counter attacks against' General Den
ikine's lines. With the exceptl6n of
the capture of Kiev, the bolsheviki
seem to have been repulsed along
the new front.
There is also some uncertainty as
to the exact situation in Lithuania,
where Russian and Lithuanian forces
are ' mobilized. Lithuanian troops
have been ordered to advance against
Shavli, in the government of Kovio.
If this movement should be carried
out, the Lithuanians would be in the
rear or the German-Russian forces
which advanced against Riga last
week and have since Friday been
reaching Lettish troops in that city.
In the mean time Admiral Kolchak
head of the all-Russian government
at Omsk and commander of the anti
Bolshevik elements on the east' Rus
sian ' front is advancing rapidly in
pursuit of the Soviet armies which
have been ordered to retire. The lo
cation of the line of battle in this re
gion has not been reported recently,
but it is known to be west of the To
bol river which flows northward
through the eastern foothills of the
Urals.
" Stockholm, Oct. 17. General Yuden
itch, whose northwestern army is
marching on Petrogard. has been re
inforced by trogps commanded by
Prince Peter Lleven and volunteers
from Archangel, who now form the
vanguard of the advance on the for
mer Russian capital, according to a
Helsingfors dispatch to the Dagbla
det. (A London dispatch received last
Saturday stated that Prince Peter
Lieven was superintending the co-ordination
of- forces commanded by
Colonel Avaloff-Bermondt and Gen
eral Von der Goltz,. which have been
fighting in and around Riga for sev
eral days.)
Esthonian forces are reported not
to have advanced materially but ' no
further advances by the Russo-Ger-man
troops along the southern coast
of the Gulf of Finland have been
made. The defeat of the Bolsheviki
before Petrograd is said- to have due
to a lack of discipline, as they have
plenty of ammunition and guns. The
Bolshevik front has been broken at
several places, and the Soviet re
serves are Insufficient to check the
advance of the Yudenitch forces.
A terrific bombardment by the Brit
ish fleet in the Gulf of Finland pre
ceded the capitulation of the great
Russian fortress and naval base of
Kronstadt, according to advices re
ceived here.
An official Russian statement con
firms the capture of Catchina and
Krasnaia Gorka on the coast of the
Gulf of Finland by General Yuden
itch. Gatchina was stormed after a
short bombardment." the Bolsheviki
fleeing when the northwestern army
charged with bayonets.
