Miss Mildred Rutherford, of Athens,
Ga., a noted southern historian and
eduoator, s resented t6 the) veterans--today
a4 series of questions to be ap
plied to text books before adopting
them in southern- schools and colleges.
AU the questions dealt -with ellmlna
tlonof matter prejudicial to the "lost
cause." j Much misinformation has
been and sstilt is , being spread in
' books', she said, and added that be
fore the war General Lee had virtually
freed his slaves. General Grant, she
continued, was a slaVe owner until the
very time the slaves were freed by
Lincoln's proclamation. In an effort
,to prove that tne cause or war was
press, going from there to the Char
lotte Country cluh. Where various
forms of entertainment were given. ,
Returning to the city shortly after
S o'clock, making'the trip through the
Myers park development, the visitors
stopped at the Southern Manufmctur
ers club, where they remained until 5
o'clock. The" ladles n the party were
served tea, while the men made them
selves "at home," according to the
statement of a member of the com
mittee, sine party, returned to their
trains about 5 o'clock, taking supper
on the diners.
Many of the visitors, other than
from England and New England,
knew very little English and in many
cases Interpreters, foreign born, but
America, naturalised, Had to assist
them in understanding.
"Monocles" and "oh, says- were not
altogether lacking, although there was
! not an abundance of the former, some
four or five having been in evidence,
while many expresalqns peculiar to
the English and enough French to
make the overseas soldiers homesick
were noted.

ot a dramatic appeal by Senator

for a league of nations that would do
justice to oppressed nations of the

its very beginning a demonstjratlon
that threatened for a moment to
sweep through the senate galleries. ,

laid down the last page of his manu-

strident voice of the vice president
was beard above the rising din.

. -Remove from the -galleries those

The speech of Senator Walsh, the
third ot the day, drew a large at
tendance ,and because of the uncer
tainty, js to where he '-stood, he re
ceived undivided attention. He quick
ly cleared away all doubt, however,
and frankly announced his regret at
parting with his democratic col
leagues in voting for treaty reserva

not breaking away from bis party
principles. ,
Contending that under article to.
American soldiers could " be ordered
to any part ot the world by the
league council, Senator Walsh turned
to senators on his own s'de of the
chamber and asked:
"May I not fairly argue that this

CONFERENCE BLAZES TRAIL FOR
Concrete Proposals Presented Looking to Arbitration of Steel
Strike, Three "Months' Industrial Truce, Creation of Arbitra
tion Board for Labor Disputes and Lowering of High Cost
of Living. -
Washington, Oct 9. Concrete pro
posals designed to bring about bettei
relations between employers and tht
employed were laid before the na
tional Industrial conference today by
members of the various groups mak
ing up the gathering. The proposal
lnouded:
"Arbitration, of the nation-wide
steel f trike with return of the men to
work pending settlement; an Indus
tr.al truce starting immediately and
continuing three months: creation of
an arbitration board by the President
and Congress, and including among
its members a'l ex-Presidents : and a
comprehens've . plan for adjudication
of industrial disputes through boards
of arbitration In the various indus
tries." ' The conference today also took Its
first concrete action In adopt ng a
motion, offered by Thomas L. Chad
bourne, a representative of the public,
providing that a committee consisting
of three members from each of the
groups of employers, labor and the
public, be appointed to Investigate
the high cost of living .
The proposal for settlement ot the
steel strike, Introduced ly Samuel
Compere, president ot the Amerlcsn
Federation of Labor, and one of the
de egates, soon after the conference
met In the first of the day's two ses
sions, came as a surprise to the
groups representing the public and
.he employers. In offering the pro
posal. Mr. (Tempers explained that It
Had the support ot the labor dele
Kates including the representatives of
the ral road brotherhoods. The pro
posal, like all others submitted to
day, under the conference rules was
referred to the general committee
composed ot five representatives of
each group. It generally was believed
that the proposal would be in the
hands of this committee for some
time.
.As chairman of the publ'o group,
Bernard Baruch Introduced the pro
posal for an Industrial peace, formu
lated by A. A. Landon, -of Buffalo,
and the plan that a national board
of conciliation and arbitration be
created, which was put forward by
Gav'n McNab, of San Francisco. In
offering the proposals, Mr. Baruch ex
plained that he was merely acting
for his group and that under the con
ference rules the Introduction of the
propoaa's did not indicate either that
the proposals set forth the ,; chair
man's view or that they had the en
dorsement of the group.
