A distinct line of cleavage, nmountiuu to a ftac tuie, is visible todiiy between the employers' group uml those rcpresentinjr 1 the public and lnbor at the industrial conference. It is due to their widelx divergent attitudes on collective bargaining. The adjournment yesterday was primarily to postpone action on the steel strike resolution; also to enable each group to canvass the possibility I of formulating a basis on which the conference could vest this vexed sub 1 ject. The employers' group has been unable to settle upon any decisive policy i on the Rtibiect.

Further, that if persisted in, it will pla hub with conference results. The deliberate statement of Mr. Loree wns merely a public expression of the private views of certain members of the employers' group that some one had indicated, if no more expressive term is used, a disposition to "ma neuver" for political advantage.

GIMIISItT Man" Correspondent of the Kvenlnir rublic Inicer Washington, Oct. 10 The question whether or not the soft coal miners and operators accept arbitration when they meet Secretary Wjlsou tomorrow is highly critical. If arbitration fails an industrial sit uation, already bad, will be made worse. It will mean that capital and labor have definiteiv come into I'onflict nnd intend to fight it out. It will mean that other big labor conflicts, as they arise, will go to the same length as the steel struggle. It will mean that the ladical element will come to the front in organized labor and the Gompeis polity of woi Ic ing through the government will be re jected by the unions us fruitless Gompers Calls for Help Sir. Gompers's speech nt the in dustrial conference the night before he became sick was like the cry of a man who felt that the ground was sink ing beneath his feet. The one thing apparent here in Washington is the determination of capital to fight it out with labor. The development of tho radical xing in the labor movement, the definite trend of labor toward the position of Rritish trade unionism, the desire of capital to make its stand before American labor grows as strong as Rritish labor, have all contributed to the present un- ielding attitude of employers.
