The problem of housing and caring for visitors at future conferences prob ably will be one of the things discussed , Tcry thoroughly Ht tue coming conier ence. As yet no ouarterly conference has invited tho 1JI21 conference to be its guest, and there is the possibility that there i may be a radical ho "f"' the plan i of ntertainmen for the r lure. The New Jersey conference, which will be held before the Philadelphia con ference, entertains its members at :i hotel instead of at the homes of the people in whoso church the conference is held. Many questions are to be discussed at the conference. One of the big duties of the conference will be the selectien of delegutes to the general con ference of tho Methodist Church, which will meet in .May at Pes Moiue-. la. Seven del'gates are to be selected, and the riva'ry is keen both in Philadelphia and in the suburban districts. To Discuss Lay Delegates Another main question to be decided during the conference is the matter of admitting lay delegates to the annual conferences. They take part in the deliberations of the" general conference at present, and there has been a strong agitation for their admission to the an nual conferences. The matter cannot be decided except at the general con ference In May, but it is quite possible that the coming annual conference may memorialize the general conference on the subject. Bishop Ilerry will open the confer ence the evening of Tuesday, Marcli It!, though the formal sessions of the con ference will not begin until the morn Ine fo'louinc. At the session Tuesday evening the anniversary of the Historl- cal Society of the conference will be ob served. The speaker of thc evening has not been announced. Bishop Berry will preside at the opening of the conference the morning or March 17. and at tue subsequent ses sions of the conference. The meeting will begin nt 9 o'clock in the morning. tGeorgc W. Burnham. a prominent Methodist layman, will give tho address of welcome. At the first business ses sion a Jatc probably will be decided on for thc beginning of tbe baltotlng for delegates to the general conference The balloting is likely to take some time. and votes will be tuken day by day i until the requisite number of delegates have beu tclectcd. Thc women's foreign mlsxlonury an nlversary, always an important event. has been set for Wednesday ufternouii at 2 o'clock.

V ' Drop Wage Domands and Will Ask Disapproval of Measuro SIDETRACK WILSON'S PLAN Washington. Feb. 25. Consideration of President Wilson's proposal for act tlcmcnt of railroad employes' wage demands bv an impartial tribunal waa sidetracked today by union officer to give thc right of way to n finish fight one thc recently passed railroad reor ganization bill. Request for a veto of the mensurc will bo presented to President Wilson, prob ably tonight, in tbc form of a memorial setting forth organixed labor's objec tions to the arbitration feature of the bill especially, nnd to Uio financial clauses. Failing to gain n vclo, the unions plan to attack the constitution allty of the law. Decision to carry the fight to thc White House whs taken suddenly at a meeting to consider the President's pro posal, but the latter did not get much consideration because general commit teemen represented that their member ship was restive under what they term cd "leglslalve attacks" on union labor nnd would not be satisfied unless tbo bill was fought to the last ditch. When it was decided to ask for executive dis approval of the measure, many of the delegates made urrungements fo return homo immediately, leaving tho wage controversy negotiations unfinished. The unions ttill have to decide ulso whether they will join in eclcction of experts to guther data for considera tion by the wage commission created by thc railroad bill. As tho unions havo expressed unalterable opposition to such a council of arbitration, in which thc public would bo represented as well as railroads and employes, some of their officers havo objected to participating in choosing the board for fear it would be taken as acceptance of tho provisions they deem obnoxious. Thc memorial to President Wilson is being drafted by B. M. Jewell, acting president of tho railway employes' do partuient, American Federation of La bor; K, J. Manion, president of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers, and Timothy Shea, acting president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, who were the delegation chosen to visit the White House recently and receive the President's communication in the wage controversy. Palmer lo Pass on Law Knowledge of the President's inten tion to have A. Mitchell Palmer, attor ney general, pass on tho validity of thc reorganization measure did not deter the union lenders from their determined course of action. Their claims of iu equity against the legislation were ex plained to be aside from any question of thc validity of tbe bill, nnd they, therefore, purposed to carry tbe oppo sition through to the finish. Decision of tho union officials to pre sent their views to Mr. Wilson was renched suddenly. There had been in sistent clamoring for such action by muny of tho local committeemen, called hero to discuss thc President's wugo settlement proposal. Tho course was not decided on, however, it was said, until It appeared no other plan would be generally accepted by tho rank and file. Labor provisions of the bill admitted ly will be the most bitterly assailed by tho unions, but the plan also contom nlntcs nttnek on tbe financial sections, which labor holds to bo "unfair to the taxpnycrs and a burden on tho govern ment.' The dividend provision of the law also will conic in for condemnation, it was indicated.

C6 1718 Hansom street Chamber of Commorco Ap. points Cominittoo to Feel Out Public Sontiment WOULD PRESERVE YARD Tcntativo plans for tho purchase of Hog Island for tho uso of commercial' and industrial interests of this city law been launched by tho Chamber of Com morco nnd Powell Evans, and the gta. cral project has the approval of Major Moore. Tho Chamber of Commerce author-. ized its president, Alba B. Johnson, to select a committee of citizens to consult with various trado. bodies, railroads and bankers on tbe project and a meet ing of thes groups will bo called very shortly. It "s highly probable that a permanent underwriting body will bi formed to provido the necessary capital. Another plan for thc purchase of tin island was placed before Mayor Moore yesterday by Mr. Evans, who has taken n prominent part in civie nnd business affairs for several years. The plan submitted by Mr. Evans calls for the preservation of tho 243 acres within the t'encn and east of It for possiblo futuro shipbuilding work, the construction of .a 1000-foot dry dock und three caissons and tho use of the remainder of tho plant for ter minal purposes. A charter has been procured by Mr. Evans under the name of the rhlladel phia Terminal and Drydock Co. Ho bays he will turn the charter ot to any organization of citizens of Wit dclphia and vicinity who will taku out tho plant. i About $20,000,000 will be, needed to start thc movement, it is estimated. It is said tho government will sell the plant to u community organization at a sur prisingly low llguro when tho cost of construction was considered. Govern ment officials have given assurance that special inducements would bo made to any community group which organized itself to undertake the enterprise. Mr. Evans estimates that about 55,000,000 will be needed for the pur chase of- thc island. 5,000.000 for the construction of tho drydocks, $5,000,000 for the construction of thc cold-storate plant nnd u like sum to bo kept iu the treasury. Tho whole project must be put acrow by next August, as tbe government his publicly announced its intention to complete its ship construction program thcro and dispose of tho property bf next September. Matthew C. Brush, president of tho American International Shipbuilding Corporation, in a state ment recently issued said be thought all of tbo ships uow on contract for thl government would be completed by September.
