SECRETARY Y INTERIOR
AROUSES ENTHUSIASM
Committee of Fifteen Named
To Secommend .For . or

tion Until Approved By One
of Groups -
Washington, Oct. 7. 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. Endi-
j frott, Charles Edward Russell and Miss
Ionian naia. ,
Representing capital: 8. Psmbertoa

- Representing organised, labor Bam
ael Oompers, Frank Morrison, Matthew
Woll, W. D. Hahoa and L. . Shep
pard. ?
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.
Secretary Lane, in his address as
chairman, said he waa sure the gather
ing wonld be able to work out a solu
tion of industrial troubles growing ont
of reconstruction.
Wo will work ont a way because it
cannot bo that there is no way," said
Mr. Lane,
I wish that K were possible that the
President might have given you - the
stimulating influence not Only of his
pretence but of that true word which
he always speaks,' Con tinned ths chair
man. ."That ia denied now, but pos
sibly it may not bo denied. The ward

each year than the two largest coon

dred and eighteen alleged members of
the Industrial Workers of the World,
captured in a raid near here today, were
marched into the - public square of

by police and deputies. Seven others,
suspected of being the, lesders, after
kissing' -the flag, were taken to the
county jail at New Cumberland, where
they will be held pending investigation
by federal authorities.
The raid was carried out without any
serious disorder. Authorities of Han
cock eounty and Weirton had been
searching for the rendezvous of the al
leged I. W. W., since severs! dsys ago
when there appeared on the sidewalks
here written threats that "the I. W. W.
will get you." Last night the meeting
place of the men wanted was located
in an old barn on the Hancock eounty
road, south of here. It was surrounded
by heavily armed deputies and a few
entered the barn. The few men in
the bara sought to escape without sue
cess. ' '.
A search of the place resulted in the
finding of a large quantity of "Red"
literature half a ton, it was said, in
which the flag of anarchy was extolled
and the prediction made that the ex
tremists would rule the world.
The deputies also found the names of
187 men,, supposed to- be members of
the organization meeting in the barn
Immediately deputies were sent out and
the men were rounded up in the public
square. There wss one fight after an
other In bringing the men to ' the
square, and evea after they were-eor-
ralled, there was resistssce when the
deputies gars them the option of kissing
ue nag or going to jau. -
A big American nag was strong across
the street over their heads while another
flag was nsed fee the kissing. Most of
The men were Finns and thsy were told
in their native tongue that they most
kiss the Msg or remain in eutrtody. Pro
tests came from aiany but they were in
vain. Some voluntarily took hold of
the flag and buried their faces in it,
The men were then informed that they
must leave town. Again there was i
protest from many but they were S'
eorted to the town limits, nevertheless,
sna oraerea to leave.
It is claimed most of the men were
furnace workers, and that they came

question of a general strike. When

There waa no announcement regard

into the chamber while Senator Cham

around and learning that aa agreement
had been made to dispose of tho meas

Short Wrangle Over Lssgue.
Senator Lodge told members later
that the agreement on the promotion
measure was made by Senator Knox
RenubliraVi. of Pennsylvania, who in
troduced it, and Senator Hitchcock, of
Itebraaka, in charge of the Democratic
forces. Senator Chamberlain, in op

During the morning hour, the two

of the league propaganda practice, and

- No Definite Program.
Eeference by Senator Poindexter to
Senator Hitchcock's "war record'' drew
fire from the latter while the charge

tion a to the fngar famin throughout
the country. The sugar equalization
Board today replied to the telegram f
inquiry sent yesterday by Senator Sim
raons but its rrplyv is not fully in
formative so far as relief is concerned.
The bosrd says sugar is not being ex
ported except under contracts previously
rnado and these exports since July
ist nave ticcn comparatively small.
The North Carolina Senator in
tercsted himself inMhe situation be
cause from all sections of North Care
una there have come protests that
'sugar rations ' sre short and'the nonu
luce ia not pleased over the outlook. The
complaints received by Senator Sim
mons are typical of those reaching ths
ofitces of other members of Congress,
and it is likely that the sugar equaliza
tion boArd is swamped with -telegrams
from Washington and all sections of the
country.
Senator Harris, of Georgia, for in-
stance, telegraphed th hoard in New
Xork and received repljr thafevervtliin
possible was being done to relieve the
shortage and there had been., absolute
equity in distribution. However, the
board indicated that it could distribute
no more sugar than there exists snd it
isa question of doling out the supply
until the supply catches no with the de
mand. qaalisation Board's Letter. .
The telegram received hv n.in.
Simmons from, the equalization board
today rends:
"Telegram received. Durina- enrl
part of year refiners entered into some
contracts for export of refined sugar
for shipment during last half" year.
These contracts having been entered
into in good fuith are being complied
with, but no sugar has been sold for
export by refiners since our request to
them of July 1st. to susnend all such
business. These shipments since th. I
nrst. or July are comparatively small.
We arc advised that Canadian situation
regarding sugar sunplias is serious, and
that embargo waa placed by that gov
ernment on exports except such sales
as had been entered into before date
or embargo.
The point that Senator Simmons
wished to settle was whether or rfiit tha
American refiners were bvinir . nor
mitted to export sugar to foreien coun
tries not having the retail price re
strictions which are now in force in the
united Htatcs.
More. Cars for Print Paper. "
At the instance of several North Car.
olina newspapers, Senator Simmons has
taken up with Director-ttencral Hines,
of the . Railroad Administration, the
matter or obtaining a more adequate
supply of freight cars in which to make
shipment -of print paper. . Liability of
print paper manufacturers to obtain
cara threaten a , serious shortage in
this commodity, resulting in disaster to
newspapers in North Carolina and
throughout the South. Mr. Hines states
that some difficulty has been experi

ments, but that arrangements nave been
made to provide news print paper ship
