The proposals call for a relocation of
tracks around Citv Hall, moving them
from the middle of the street to the in
side curbliue, and for ordinances di
lected against trolley drugging by ve
hicles, motorcar narking on botii sides
of one-way streets and tiolley blocking
by coal wagons.
5Ir. Jlitten did not appear in per
son to convey his plans. The com
munication went through the usual leg
islative routine, with this difference
the reading gained the deep uud instant
attention of the councibuen, who rea
lized the significance the projects held
for the city's pressing transit problems.

The company now derives .$1,000,000

to pay fi per cent dividends on Rapid
Transit Company stock. Partly to off
set this revenue loss, Mr. Mitten stilted,
additional fares would be collected in
the central area. The extra revenue.
ndded to the .$785,000 a year remitted
by tho city, would compensate partly
for the loss in exchange ticket revenue
and ennble a continuance of the live

No Transfers In Central Part
Consummation of the plan would
create n bection from tlo Delaware river
to Seventeenth street and from Cherry
to Locust streets where neither ex
changes nor free transfers would be
issued, The principal lines affected
would be those on Arch, Market, Chest

Washington, Oct. 16. 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. Thev have definite and convincing ideas of their own, but
unfortunately they are antagonistic to labor's fixed principles, The con- Jminie, todiiyufterii f"'"--''"" J

gescr-lIKe jet of steam above the sur
face, but it indicates a stratum of sub

Mothes Are Suspected
Since members of the confciciier have
dragged the subject to light it can be
asserted that there has been more or
less quiet talk that some one was play
ing politics in the conference. 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.
It is possible that Mr. Loree intended
his remark ns n warning; ns a good,
big, healthy hint to those interested to

SOFT COAL ISSUE
WILL BRING CRISIS
Arbitration Rejection Will Mean
Finish Fight Between
Capital and Labor
lly CLINTON W. 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.
And capital feels confident that it
has tho public witli it in this policy of
making no compromise with the more
radical forces in the American Fed
eration of Lnbor who are deriving their
inspimtion from the Rritish labor move
ment. Capital Illorks Agreement
A distinguished member of the pub
lic gioup in the industrial conference
said today : "The thing that stands in
the way of action by the conference Is,
more than mi thing else, the lin.vieldiuir
attitude of capital. The newspapers of
the country almost without exception
support Judge Gary. He feels that the
country is with him.
"Any principle thnt the conference
might adopt would involve some tecog
nition of collective bargaining." That
would take some ground from under
Judge Gary nnd it would involve the
arbitration of such issues as that in
the steel strike in the future and it
would imply nibitratlon in that strike."
The issue in the soft coal strike is not
the same as that in the steel strike.
Collective bargaining is not involved,
for the coal operators have dealt with
the unions,
Soft Coal Unions Radical
Rut the soft coul unions are among
the most radical of American labor
unions. They hnvn demanded the na
tionalization of coal mines, following
the example of the British miners'
unions. They propose to show, like

i(y tno Associated Press fl
WajJiington, Oct. 10. Debate on the,
Shantung amendment to the peace
Ireaty was resumed in the Senate fo
day with leaders hopeful that n final
vote on it would be had before adjourn
ment. Although contending that the
vote would be close, supporters of the
proposal generally conceded that it
would be defeated.
At the outset of the debate Senator
Kellogg. Republican, Minnesota, nn
nounced his opposition to the amend
ment, declaring it would be iuconslst
ent for the United States to presume
to dictate in the Far Fast now, after
lemaining silent while Germany and
other nations line seized territory there
in years past.
Award Immoral. Says Kellojg
The Shantung settlement was eon
demncd as immoral by the Minnesota
senutor, who said he would support a
icserrntion by which the United Stntw
wouhl decline to be a party to the trans
action. Senator Hale. Republican, Maine,
