The conference, which li n two dny
'tlfair, opened this afternoon. Like
lit well-conducted conventions, it will,
tickle the most serious problems of the
,'rfjT, but. unlike many. It will absolutely
t'jboo politics. This latter fnct wns nd
'tnlttcd this morning by some of the
'few members who did not go sight
ln(f. They i-eemed n bit sorry, too,
that in view of the proximity of the
political conventions they couldn't aim
tfew well -sharpened lmrpooni at some
of our very best candidates.
Lacking politics, the. conference will
fill bnek on that safest of Htnodbys,
the H. C. of h.
"We're going to find out why we In

rits a pound for sugar while over in

'ffifor hnlf that much," declared Delegnte
WWinslow Qulglcy ns he hospitnbly wel-
roiufd the members who drovo up in
their limousines.
'Wn'ro going to ask why we hnve
bwn told that wo must feed starving
Europeans when they're getting more to

Delcgato Qulglcy is one man who
knows whereof lie speaks, as lie has just
returned from Belgium, where ho was
nt by tho International Brotherhood
Welfare Association, of which tho ho
boes arc a part, to investigate condi
tions. He will report his findings nt the
conference.
Members denied absolutely that the
reison of their interest in the high cost
of living is based on its disastrous ef
fect on the old-fashioned "hnnd-outs."
but iidmlt that it hns made their travel
log much more difficult and uncomfort
able. To the hoboes government ownership
of railronds is n question of minor im
port, they claim, seeing that it in no
way affects their mode of transporta
tion; but one tiling is very noticeable
this year, nnd that is the scarcity of
delegates attending the conference.
They could advance no reason for the
tlim attendance.
The leader of the hoboes. J. Knils
IJow, Princeton University, class, of '80.
arrived last night and- nrcsided at a
I preliminary meeting. Affectionately
called "doctor" by his faithful clan.
Hobo How is expected to lead the con
ference into various channels of dis
cussion this afternoon. The one thing
he nnd all tho association insist on
earnestly is that no ono call them Ilol
shevlki. As ono of them said:
"'We may not nit have permanent
addresses (duo to high rents nnd nrof-
iteering landlords, understand!), but we
sre uot Itolshcviki. They belong in
Russia."

Despite vigorous attempts of a so
cialistic group attending the .Jewish
congress to brenk up tho session being
held today In the ballroom of the Itelle-vuc-Stratford.

siderable progress.
Several delegates representing what

by Louis Liuski, the chairman.
for
pnnslnir rnntlnurirl fttanrdnr.
Tho congress opened yesterday, when
much dissension was cnuscd by criticism I
of the delegates who represented the
Jewish congress nt the Peace Confer
ence. Trouble Renewed Early
Trouble started immediately at this
morning's session when A. Ilrown. of
New ork city, attempted to renew
criticism of the delegates.
He was reprimanded by Chnirmnn
LlpskJ, who declared the speaker out of
order. Shouts Immediately tilled the i
room, many delegates aniiroving the i
action of Lipski, others urging Ilrown
be heard.
During the confusion a large number
of the Socialists left their scats nnd held
n meeting of their own in the reur of
the room. They left the meeting when

Get Message From Europo
V

Jews of Europe urging the establish- i
rr.ent of n Central Jewish International i
Organization. The object of this or-
gnnizatlon is to help Jews who Buffer '
from persecution .nlil them to roafh
other countries nnd help them in other
wnys.
Order wns restored Inrgely through
the efforts of Rnbbi Stephen S. WLse,

peal for Jews who nrc suffering from
persecution.
He reminded the delegates thnt the
communication from Europe was the
most important thing before the meet
ing nnd urged it be referred to the
executive committee for action.
A recess was taken at 1 o'clock.
Mnny of tho delegates, who resent thn
criticism of the Jews who nttended
the Peace Conference, asserted tho no
tion of the socialistic group was care
fully planned with a view of break
ing up tho meeting unless they could
hnve their own way.
It was agreed to permit the bolting
delegates to return to the sessions of
tho congress if they desire.

One Reason for
House Shortage!
r i HE Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners
of America demanded an increase in wages
of lOSYz per cent and a reduction in work
ing hours of 10 per cent for all wood working
mechanics in Philadelphia and vicinity on and
after June 1, 1920.
In other words less work per day at more than
double the pay! Such demands form one reason
for the house shortage in this city and the gen
eral curtailed work along these lines.
In answer, the Association of Cabinet Wood
workers of Philadelphia and Vicinity offered an
increase in the wage scale of 40 per cent, but no
reduction of hours from the present 48 hours a
week. The offer was in exact percentage propor
tionate to the 40 per cent wage increase granted
the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of
America by the Master Carpenters of Philadel
phia, May 15, 1920.
This offer was rejected 1
Therefore, in the interest of the Public and the
Trade, and to prevent the further halting of pro
duction, the undersigned unanimously agree to
operate on an Open Shop basis on and after
June 1, 1920.
