Washington, Oct. 10. Opposition closed shop were among the twelve principles reported by capital and presented to the Industrial Confer- ence here this morning. Sympathetic strikes, boycotts and blacklists were declared unpardon able, unsocial and should be illegal. While deploring strikes and lock outs, the right of strikes or lack outs should not be denounced after all possible means of adjustment had been exhausted. The right of hours, wages, etc., should only be applied to privately owned industries, but in the case of public utilities which must be oper ated in the interest of the public such regulation must be applied as will insure continuous operation as well as provide the machinery for the prompt settlemetn of disputes. Opposition to strikes on the part of government employees was also expressed, but 'that the right to strike in order to safeguard their in terests should be obviated by mak ing the machiner yto prevent strikes more elastic and applicable to such situations. For the settlement of disputes arising from individual differences it was asserted that each plant should arrange its own rules for the adjustment of these differences. Other suggestions dealt with the hours ot work and wages and the right to association and it was de clared that the right of association either of employers or employes should be subject to the conduct and assembling- nf its smnts After an hour recess the confer ence decided to adjourn to meet on Tuesday nert, when 'the general heads of the 15 vdelegattions will consider the proposals submitted by the three groups representing capi tal, labor and .the public.

Mrs. Harvey of Kinston Re-Elected President MRS. WOODARD CHAPLAIN High Point, Oct. 9. Perhaps it j can be stated very truly that more I significant business has been crowd ed into today's sessions of the convention of the Daughters of the Confedarcy than any one day of previous conventions could record. During the afternoon resolutions endorsing the League of Nations were adopted, officers for the en suing year were elcted, $1,200 was raised on the floor to provide a nurse for sick inmates at the Confederate! women's home at. Fayetteville and much other business of importance transacted. Every officer was elected without an opposing candidate. Those who wil lform the new cabinet are Mrs. J. F. Harvey, of Kinston, president; Mrs. J. F. Hayden, of High Point, first vice president; Mrs. J. M. Gud ger, of Asheville, second vice presi dent; Mrs. L. R. Barnwell, of Hen derson ville, third vice president; Mrs. John Huske Anderson of Fay etteville, recording secretary; Mrs. J. F. Taylor, of Kinston, correspond ing secretary; Mrs. L. F.

The resolution endorsing the League of Nations was presented by Mrs. M. O. Winstead of Rockv Mount and was as follows: "Whereas, the war, now brought to a victorious close by the associ ated power of the free nations of the world, was above all else a war to end war and protect human rights; therefore, "Be it further resolved that we favor the establishment of a. League of Nations.- We believe that such a league should aim at promoting the liberty, progress ,and orderly de velopment of the world. "Be it further resolved that we favor the entrance of the United States 'into such a league as may be adequate to safeguard the peace that has been won by the joint forces of the allied nations. "Be it further resolved, that cop ies of these resolutions be sent to the President of the United States, and Senators representing the state of North Carolina at Washington, and to the -Hon. William H. Taft, President of the League to Enforce Peace." An interesting feature of the af ternoon was an address by Col. A. H. Boyden, of Salisbury, showing the immense advantage of North Caro lina troops at Gettysburg and oth er important battles and bringing in strong review the small apprecia tion of the state for such service. "I am never going o Raleigh again to ask an appropriation for the ben efit of the men who wore the gray," j said Col." Boyden. "The next t'me I J go to present a need, I am going to state facts and demand the appro-1 priation. Mr. R. B. House, of Raleigh, rep resenting the State Historical Com mission, appeared on the floor this morning t asking the Daughters co operation ln the erection of a me morial building at the State's capl tol to preserve State records and relics of the revolutionary , period, the" war between 'the States" and the great. world war.

Veterans of the army of the Confederacy more than 8000 strong paraded here today and thus spent the closing hours of thein 29th reunion. The line of march was more than a mile long, and was lin ed with thousands who cheered and wept and laughed as the heroes of the 60's filed past, many of them on their last march. Many of these soldiers of the Con federate war are between 70 and 80 years of age, and several of them were compelled to drop out and sit on the curbing. Few calls however were made for the ambulances that stood waiting for emergencies. Unveiling Monument to Jackson Richmond, Va., Oct. 10.

' Miss Annie Chritian Preston, great Confederate leader unveiled the statue. JEWISH CHILDREN' IX EUROPE DREAD THE COMING WINTER New York, Oct. 10. More than a million Jewish children through out eastern Europe arc- looking for ward with dread to the coming of the winter, according to reports re ceived lately by the American Jew ish Relief Committee from relief workers abroad. Children do not ordinarily look forward even a few weeks, but hard ships have taught these little ones a sad maturity, the investigators say. At eight or ten . years old, their wizened faces are those of prema ture age. Their conversation when they talk at alj, which is not often, is like that of grown-up's,' having to do solely with their chances of get ting food, and their fear of the suf fering entailed by inclement weath er. They almost never cry, for they have learned already that it does no good. " Vice President Stops Applause Washington, Oct. 9. A quick barking command from Vice-Presi dent Marshall at the conclusion late today of a dramatic appeal by Sen ator Walsh, Democrat, of Mssachu setts for; League of Nations that Would do justice to oppressed na tions of the world and for reserva tions to the pending League coven ant broke up in its very beginning a demonstration that threatened for a moment to sweep through the Sen ate galleries. For more than an hour Senators and-Visitors had listened intently to the-address and as Senator Walsh laid down the last page of his man uscript, and with arms -raised high, pleaded against app'roval of the Shantung settlement "and the dan gers lurking in Article Ten" oi the League covenant, a faint ripple of applause was instantly followed by a more pronounced outburst.

Those who were standing by when the shot was fired, state that Lamm asked some, one to drink with him asserting that this would be the last drink that he would ever take. After taking the drink he drew a pistol of the Smith and Wesson va riety and with his right hand fired the bullet just below the shoulder blade.
