"In dealing with worklngmen recently I

to Insist on changes, of standards. If you

Tor the last twenty years." said Mr
Johnson, speaking nt tho Group A meet
ing, "this nation has been offering a
great sacrifice on the altar of a false god.
Happily throuKh the war. this false god has
been overthrow n. temporarily, at least. The
fa'se god of which I speak Is the principle
of unlimited destructive competition.
'The founda'ion upon which the, temple
to this duty has been raised Is The Sher

meant the sacrifice iof millions of dollars
by American business. ,
"If there ts any one thing this war, has
determined it is that this Sherman act will
not stand tite strain, of a national crisis.
The Government itself has come to recog
nlte this fact and It realizes now that busi
ness must be conducted on the basis of a
reasonable profit. .
"The only way to detcrmlno a reasonable
profit Is through a conference of all con
cerned In any particular business."
The future of American business, Mr.
Johnson admitted. Is- not clenr to the
nation's business leaders.

"A year ago." he said, "we thought we
could foresee what was coming. Nine
months ago we were not so aure. During
the dee!opment of tho war the vlevvu have
changed materially and now we must con
cede that he future Is not clear.
"One thing, however. Is certain,. The
necessities of the war have expinded the

ADMIRAL BOWLES ON SHIPPING
Unqualified praise for the services of the.
reocrai employment uureaus in meeting
labor needs occnsloned by the war w is
given. A message from Admiral Howies,
speaking for tho Emergency Fleet Corpora
tion, was read by Meyer Hloomflcld, nf
Boston, which told of the far-reaching aid
glen by the Department of Labor nnd its
employment agencies to tho labor problems
in tho shipbuilding field. Without this aid,
said Admiral Bowles, the expenditure of
millions would have been necessary.
Mr. Dloomtleld cited the case of one ship
yard, called upon last May to Incienso Its
working force from 1000 to 8000 men, which
was enabled through the assistance of Fed
eral nnd Stnte employment ngencles thus to
double Its force between May and August
without the expenditure of a slnglo dollnr
to private employment agencies or in nd
ertlslng. NEED THOUSANDS OF MEN
"The shipbuilding Industry may need
100,000 new workers and other war Indus
tries other hundreds of thousands of men,"
said he. "And to secure them American
business must establish closer relations
with public agencies than ever before. The
governmental employment ofllces have
hitherto not received tho support that Is
due them.
"One nf the greatest producers of hnboea,
Irivnip" and criminal hu been the prltnte
employment ngeney," ttiild Lincoln l'llene,
of the Ildntnn Chamber of Commerce.
"The private agencies have sent men
across the country at harvest times only to
find that no Jobs are to be had when they
reached their destination. iFlve and ten
men have been bejit whero a Job was to be
had for only one.
An exciting moment In the meeting came
when Alfred Koch, of Toledo, declared that
90 per cent of the retail merchants of the
country do not realise that tbe country Is
at war.
The storm which followed was epitomized
by Mr. Neff's reply that to his personal
knowledge "at least '40 per cent of the re
tailers of the country do realize the country
Is at war, and have proved It by giving their
sons for battle "
VIEWS OF BIG EXPORTER
A definite program which big business
would like to see adopted to meet some of
the difficulties nrlslng from governmental
control of foreign trade was recommended
to the administration at Washington today
by E. II. Huxley, president of the United
States nubber Company, speaking before
the conference.
"The exporter admits to the Government,"
said Mr. Huxley, "the entire Injustice of
controlling foreign trade by means of li
censes. Export control must not react to
stop the Inward flow -of those raw materials
necessary for our welfare and the success
ful prosecution of this war."

SHIPPING PROBLEM SERIOUS
"We have heard no serious objections
raised to the system, but 'wo havo heard
very serious criticism of the Government for
not having adequately prepared Itself to
meet the situation, which wns bound to
come, nnd we urge upon the Exports Ad
ministration Hoard the great need of speed
ily preparing Itself to adequately handle
the great business which It has undertaken.
The aggravations of tho moment will be
speedily forgotten. If relief comes quickly,
but a continuation of tho present conditions
should not be permitted.
"In undertaking this vltnl work which
may be of such great benefit or result In
such great loss, dependent upon tho broad
ness and comprehensiveness of Its roncep

of the Goernment most seriously to these
points deemed to bo essential:
SOME WAYS TO HlP"
First. Do not Interfere any more than
necessary with our export trades, but
on tho other hand, encourage it by
every means possible bearing In mind
that If wo withhold our exports from
neutral countries they will probably
withhold their exports from us.
Second Eucmirago our export trado

be In our favor nnd so thnt our gold
reserve may bo maintained and In
creased. Third. in executing the policies of
control established, not upon Implica
tions for licensee expeditiously ; issue
tho licence to be good until used, but re
vocable at will. Do not duplicate tho
work being done by other governments,
but secure from them n relaxation of
their control beforo establishing a llko
control to accomplish tho same object
Declare your policy, In so far as posslblo

that of tho people
Fifth Prevent b all means any nld
or comfort to the enemy, nnd last, but
by no means least, consero to the best

IMPROVEMENTS ASSl'RED
Robert H. Pntchln, of New York, stated
at the foreign trade sesslnrf' thl mnrnlnr
that Important Improvements had been ns
sured In the administration of thi Issnnnra
of export licenses as a result nf n ran.

iwrt License Division, and RcpresentntUrs
of tho New York Merchants' Association
and general exporting Inteiests
WANT WEIIU ACT PASSED.
The immediate passage of tho Webb act,
now before Congress, permitting the exten
sion of trade in forelKti countries through
business combination, wns strongly urged
by .tohti S Ryan, president of tho Anaconda
Copper Company, as ono of the mentis by
which American business can win and hold
nfter tho war Russian and South American
trade. Ho warnul the delegates that unless
the Unjtea StateH takes prompt steps at
onco to win the Russian trade particularly
this trade would turn naturally to (iermany
nt the conclusion of the war.
The same view w.is expressed by A. W.
Douglass, of New York, one of America's
largest exporters. Mr Douglass asserted
thnt dfrmany would get not only Russian
but South American trade, as well, If
prompt measures were not taken at once.
LOCAL MEN FOR NEW LAW
E. P. Albrecht, secretary of the Phila
delphia Bourse, Indorsed tho expressions
of both Mr. Ryan and Mr. Douglass. He
urged, however, that Amerlc.in business
fcbow a greater willingness to meet the pe
culiar needs nnd wants of the foreign manu
factures. Alba, H. Johnson added his strong In
dorsement to tho Webb bill.
WATERWAYS FOR PROTECTION

of tho United Stntes as n war protection
measuro was made beforo the convention
by Theodore O Justice, of Philadelphia, the
director of tho North 'Atlantic Ke.iboard ot

Mr. Justice offered tho following resolu

HENRIK IBSEN PLAYS
PRESENTED IN CINEMA
Nance O'Ncil, of "The Wnn--derer"
Company, Also Por
trays "Hedda Gabler"
Ily the Photoplay Editor
Nance O'Nell portrays one of the leading
diameters In ''The Wanderer," which opens
tonight at tho Metropolitan Opera House.
She Is nlso a well-known person to the
movie fans, as she has appeared In many
celluloid productions. Her litest role was
that of HeMda In "Hedda Gabler." by Ibsen.
Here Is what Miss O'Nell thinks of the
Norse dramatist:
"The name of Ilenrlk Ibsen huf, up to
tho tast few years, meant very little to the
average American. To most people, outside
of the scholar. It has been a name only.
The'r knowledge of this great Norwegian
poet and dramatist went no further than
knowing who ho was. His writings, which
have been such a valuable addition to the
literature of the century, have been rend
by few and his plays enacted upon, the
American stage have been seen nnd enjoyed
by a smaller number.
"This deplorable condition of having the
writings of many of the greatest littera
teurs of the age closed to a majority of
the people Is one which has existed too long.
The large number of people who do not care
to read these writings Is appalling.
"To a certain extent tho works ot these
famous authors have been popularised
through their presentation upon the Ameri
can stage nnd many who found no enjoy
ment In the perusal of tho printed page
thoroughly appreciated the dramatic pro
ductlons. There Is the further prohibition
very often In this case, however, of the
admission price to the theatre making it
out of the question for many to attend these
performances who desire to do so.
"It has, therefore, devolved upon the pro
ducers of motion pictures to further popu
larize the works of these eminent writers
by putting them Into a forn -which nil can
enjoy nnd all comprehend, by adapting them
to the screen Through the medium of the
screen the people are becoming familiar
with and educntcd to appreciate the worth
while works of literature. Ho the peoplo
to whom the name of Ibsen mennt nothing
a short time ago have come to the point ot
asking for moro of this author's cynical,
satirical depictions of human responsibility
under modern social conditions.
"Ibsen Ib by far tho most original of
modern writers for the stago. and his plays,
dealing as they do with all phases of human
responsibility under a variety or social con
ditions, present to the peoplo tho problems
of life In which they are personally Inter
ested. Ills modern-life dramas rather than
his historical plays are tho works by which
Ibsen Is best known to the world at large.
In these play.s the setting only Is Nor
wegian ; the lesson they convey Is of world
wide extension. Ibsen did not pose as a
moral tencher. but as an Imaginative in
vestigator. Ho claimed thot ho was not
required to suggest u remedv for the dis
eases of society,, but only to diagnose them
He wns a poe't of protest against social
sophistry and unerringly Indicated tho dan
ger spots In modern life.
"To tho literature of the screen so far
have been contributed several of Ibsen's
plojs among them 'Peer Gynt," which Is
an nnalyMs of the human soul, and Is
often styled the Scandinavian 'Kaust' . 'The
Plllnrs of Society,' an attack upon hypoc
risy as exemplified In tho principal per
sonages In tho small town, and 'Ghosts,'
tho theme of which deals with the conse
quences of hereditary vlcos."
Tho screen adaptation of this famous
playwright aro not going to stop hero, how
ever, for the Mutual Film Corporation has
reloised another of Ibsen's plays, "Hedda
Gnb.cr."
"Hedda Cabler" contains a sntlrlcal shaft
aimed at the woman of tho undomestlc sel
fish type In this production Miss O'Nell,
who portrayed the role of Hedda on the
stage," also appears In the title lole In the
screen version This wns one of Miss
O'Nell's most famous roles un the speaking

times, having appeared in Auitit.Ha, Africa

Nadlna came to tho haughty girl, whis
pering something which made the young
lAdy change her tranner,
"I would havo theo meet Jether, a

mother. "Jether hfttli torn to Jerusalem
to see the great city nnd thou must be

Tho girl drew herself up proudly.
"Nay, that I will not do," sho retorted.

Nadlna quickly placed her hand over
the girl's mouth and whispered li warn

"Now, by our Lady Ishtar, thou shall
do my bidding," she ndded. sharply.
The girl bowed her head In submission,
and saluted Jether by half kneeling before
him.
"Thy Tlsha stands before thee. Jether."
she said, obediently, and would have knelt,
but Jether restrained her by taking her
hand
"Thou shnlt not kneel," he commanded.
"Thou art too beautiful."
Tlsha laughed a melodious, rippling
laugh.
'Thy servant Is glad If she please!!)
thee," she answered, coquettlshly. "I but
do the bidding of my mother, for'her word
Is law to Tlsha. Still, on my own behalf,
I would welcome thee to Jerusalem, an
bring thee wine hnd food after thy Journey.
Didst come far?" she ndded, nfter bidding
tho two Nubians bring refreshments.

"And stiycst thou long?" Inquired Tlsha,
"As long an thou dost mako me welcome,"
replied Jether. Tho girl laughed, and leaned

cato and sweet assailed his nostrils. He
reached out nnd took her hand.
"As long as thou dost desire to stay, so

Fon flays arid ntjhtg -luhir- llv4 in the'
house of Nadlnn, and Counts neither
cost hof time. Days of heavy and Unmls
fylng sleep were followed by nights of
revelry, of dunking and carousing, oi
dicing with the men ot the gay throng who
frequented the house of Nadlna, and of
wonderful hours spent la the company
Tlsha, who for his sake abandoned til
bthers nnd listened hot when they btttM
her to drink a goblet of win with them.
And lr- was indeed a strange company
that frequented the house of Nadlna. The
favorite of the visitors wan Put, oh of lha
wealthy Absalom, a handsome and Mtalt0
young man with long, curly locks' ot lisvlr
that war almost black. Not only for his
money but for his good looks wa Put popu
lar with the twoscore or more of fashion
ably dressed women wlib found the house
nnd garden of Nadlna a comfortable resting
place. Hadramut, an Arab horse deAUr,
who gambled heavily with Put at the dice
tnblo; Parsbdlas, a Mede, who taffled In
Jerusalem on a secret mission, and Madia,
the Egyptian, were other friends who spent
much time In. the home of Nadlna.
' One dny Bnrsll, tax collector for King
Sriinmon. brought with him Itaggal, n stern
nnd solemn vlsaged Judean, who gazed dis
approvingly nt the statu of Ishtar. goddess
of love, in tho shrine n the garden. Hag
gal took Jyther by tho ftftn arid sought to
reason wlfii him.
"Thou too are a son of Judea." said Hag-
gal, kindly. "Dost know that all of these
people nre Idolaters, worshippers of the gods
of Pabylon, and that Nadlna herself and
her daughter, Tlsha, are DabylontansT
Hut Jether laughed
"What matter?" ho cried, "What if they
do worship these things of stone and wood,
docs that mako Tlsha less fair? I care
not I myself am a Judean,"
Hnggal shook his head sorrowfully and
went his way.
