After perfecting an organisation today, the Industrial conference called by President Wilson got tangled up ia its own rules and ad journed until tomorrow. Secretary Lane was elected permanent ehtirman. Ia his speech of acceptance he stirred the delegates, representing CsnitsJ. Iibor and the Fublie. to great I Bthusiasm by declaring that the high purpose of the gathering made fsilnre impossible in the effert to harmonize industrial relations in this country. Proceeding to the adoption of rules, the conference struck its first snag in a protest by John Spargo, of New York, a representative of the public that the report of the rules committee made no provision f or minority expression and was a "travesty" on free deliberation. Bis criticism eaused early adjournment of the morning session to permit amend ments to be formulated by the respect ive groups, but on reconvening the rules were adopted without material change. They provide for public sessions end unanimous vote by groups on all con clusions and decisions, and require he assent of a group before any member "Of it Can introduce a resolution. -Committee Are Named. A committee of fifteen was named to recommend for or against all resolu tions introduced, as follows: 7 Representing the public: Thomas U Chsdbourne, A. A. Landon, H. B.

The employers' group was the only ne ready, under the rules with say business, Frederick -P. Fish, of Boston. . offering a resolution declaring ths need r of the industrial situation was in creased production, adequate eompen '. nation for services and just return on capital and that each delegate should be guided ia his actions by the good ' of the country as a whole, rather than by the interests of his particular group. Tied Up By Rale. tion then was made to adjourn. which evoked quick protests from delegates who have been demanding . strenuous action from the conference, Oavin McXab, of Ban Faraciseo, a rep , ressntativa of the public, said he would offer another resolution to give the conference something to do. but Mr. Spargo made a point of order that tho . resolution had not been presented to tho group tint, and Mr. McNab was forced to desist. It then was suggested that tho committee of fifteen hold a II meeting and the groups also get to gether as- a means of expediting busi ness, but this waa deemed unwise as the committee members would be ab sent front their group 'meetings and - besides the committee had no busi ness before it except the perfunctory flection. of its chairman. After much discussion about tho rales, it was de- tided to adjourn anyway, to meet to morrow, morning at :30 o clock , , when each group ia expected to have something to offer for consideration. Disregarding tho rales tho conference paused is iU work to adopt unaai fe - measly a resolution of sympathy with President "Wilson in his illness and hops for a speedy recovery.
