Iu a message to be read at Labor Day meetings throughout the country today and in which he announced he soon would call a conference of representatives of labor and industry to disciiR.s issues of vital importance to each, President Wilson appealed to every citizen to promote production and to refrain fiom doing an thing that would tend to increase the cost of living. He expressed gratification w'th the manner in which leaders of organize iaoor nau received his plan to meet the wage demand situation nnd said he hoped the workers would move with the government instead of against it in the solution of the great domestic problem. In discussing the proposed con ference, which likely will be cnllcd within a few dajs, so it may be held just after tho President's return from the speaking tour in the West, Mr. Wilson said the fundamental means of bettering the whole relationship of capital and labor "and putting the whole question of wages upon another footing" would be discussed. That President Wilson will call upon employers and capital to grant very considerable concessions in regard to the conditions of employment is accepted here as certain. Many of the labor leaders feel that the President will give a very considerable measure of support to their contentions that the workers should recehe representation in the management of industries, not to tho ex tent that is suggested in the principles enunciated by the Plumb plan for the nationalization of the railways, but to an extent which would give labor a voice In the management and perhaps a share of earnings which represent efficiency of operation. ( The ideas which it is believed the President holds do not, It is understood here, give full satisfaction to tho more radical supporters of the Plumb plan or those who would seek to bring abodt na tionalization of the coal mines, and per haps some of the other basic industries. The belief is expressed that organ ized labor will accept the promise of the President that he will endeavor to bring about just reforms, and give hiin an opportunity tojjput his plans Into effect.
