Mora Are Most Moderate. B London, Nov. 29. (Correspondence; of The Associated Press.) British la bor attitudo towards war and peace I will be the chief subjects of discussion j .it the 17th annual conference of the labor party, beginning Januury 23 Advance copies of The Agenda, which has just been issued, contain important j side lights on what, it is believed, may prove to be a meeting of world-1 wide, if not revolutionary, consequence I with regard to the relations between capital and labor. Among the resolu tions to be submitted is one by the British socialist party Which says, in effect, that labor's participation in the j government has not resulted in any i tangible benefits to the people. The resolution adds that "neither has thei association of the labor party with the government assured that the com- lnir peace will De mane oy me nomoc racy rather than by capitalistic diplo macy." The document also refers to "meth ods employed to remove JIf. Hender son from the war cabinet when act ing in perfect accord with the decis ions of the labor party prove that par ticipation in the .-'government and fidelity to the labor movement are incomputable..-.. ; It will, therefore, be urired by the socialists that members of the labor parly now holding office be withdrawn. Regarding'- peae,-'-. the. independent labor party will submit a resolution for discussion which, in part, says: That in the opinion of this confer ence the war marks the breakdown o the old method of diplomacy which settled the internal relations of the peoples without consulting or even informing them; but with statesmen, who have used victories to impose terms of peace which left suspicion, hate and resentment behind, which were followed by. .-military, alliances and armaments, ,and which violated the principles of self-government in order to satisfy military demands and imperialist aopetities, it therefore calls upon the government, if the sacri fices of the war have not been in vain, to provide for the direct representa tion of the organized democracy in every conference which discusses the condition of peace, to reject war aims which gives the war the character of an imperialist venture, and to use its influence and authority in every pos sible way to remove the causes of war: to this end the conference de clares that no obstacle should be put in the way of responsible representa tives of labor conferring together with a view to arriving at such aii under standing upon the problems of Europe as will receive the co-operative sup port of all the democracies, without which there can be no lasting peace.

" 7 Perhaps the most revolutionary of all the resolution is one by the Amal gamated Society of Engineers, which says in part: "j "Hecognizing that the present sys tem of financing the war has resulted in giving to the rich not only excessive profits during the war. but also a con-, stautly increasing claim upon the na tional income after the war in form of Interest, calls upon the government to impose at once a leavy of 25 per cent on the whole capital wealth of: the country." I A second resolution by the same ' organization advocates "the complete , nationalization of shipping and trans-' portation," as well as the following: ; "State purchase and control of all essential raw materials and foodstuffs. "The fixing of maximum, but not of minimum, prices for all essential com modities, but for the government and for the civilian consumer. I "The elimination o all unnecessary middlemen's profits.: "The full utilization by the govern ment of the resources of the co-operative movement for the purpose of dis tribution. "The complete abandonment of the policy of bounties and subsidies to capital producers and the substitu- lion oi a system uy wnn:ii piuuui-wuii is stimulated not by bounties but by increased state control of agriculture and industries.' EVERYBODY BUT JESS READY FORBIG BOUT Fred Fulton Ready To Meet Willard for the World Championship By II. V. HAMILTON.- 7 New York. I ee. LM.- A sad story of a million dollars .lost to the Red Crops may be 'told during the ooming week. Already the cast has been assem bled, the plot doped out and the trim mings made reudy. The thing rests with Jess Willard, heavyweight cham pion (pugilist) of the world. Jesa awakened one morning last week with a headache or something. Anyway, he had a grouch on. So be up and told the world he was ready to meet any man at any time or place in a battle. The receipts of said battle and receipts coming from motion pictures he intended having made of the action he was to donate to the Red Cross. Jess evidently hadn't figured on the public anil a few fighters getting so excited about it, for it didn't take him long to realize that he would have to litrht or flEwe a way out. He didn't fight. Now Jess has fixed the terms so the bout must not Involve the world championship. It must be ten rounds without a decision and he hates to travel so much. Put the fact of the matter Is: Jess haa fiddled around until he'll have to fight or vacate. lie's had his time on the floor and spoken his piece. Fred Fulton appears to be i the logical gent to take a crack at i Jess and he's pronounced himself I ready and willing. Everybody but Jess seems to be et and ready. The line forms on both sides. Willard added a real grin to his talk about flehting tonight, when he told the United Press in Chicago, that he was willing to go to France to fight George Carpentier. There be ing no chance of Carpentier being granted a furlough to appear In the ring. Jess Is perfectly safe. In Car pentier he is also yearning to fight a man who has not been In a ring for three years, who endured all man ner of hardshins as an air fighter, and who Is probably 100 pounds lighter than the American circus manager.
