TRADE ILLS TO BE DISCUSSED AT CONFERENCE Men High in Affairs of the World's Nations at At lantic City Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 22. — Hundreds of the world's greatest business "surgeons"—men high in affairs in the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy and Belgium —met here to-day at the opening session of a three-days' "clinic" to diagnose international trade ills and prescribe for their cure. The first day was spent largely in the organi zation of committees and other pre liminiary work. The International Trade Confer ence, as it is called, is being held under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce of the United Statep. Among tlie notables who are invited to speak Rro King Albert, of Bel gium; Herbert Hoover, A. C. Bed ford, chairman of the board of di rectors of the Standard Oil Com pany; Sir Arthur Shirley Benn, M. P., of England; Eugene Schneider, head of the Creusot works, the "steel king" of France; Florimonde Hankar, of Brussels, director of the National Bank of Belgium, and Fer nando Quartieri, formerly head of the Italian delegation to the Inter aUled Munitions Council. Committees to Report Ten committees, named by an executive committee of which Mr. Hedford is chairman, are to submit surveys and reports on American trade and financial conditions for the information and guidance of the thirty-six foreign delegates. The topics are as follows: Credit and Finance; Chemicals; Foodstuffs; Coal; Oil; Metals; Shipping; Tex tiles; Re-construction. Supplies and Permanent Organization. Of all these committees none, perhaps, is • lore important .-than the one on credit and finance, headed by James S. Alexander, president of the Na tional Bank of Commerce of New York. Discussing the objects of the Credit and Finance Committee, Mr. Alexander said: "It is to study the question of re-establishing normal trade relations between the United States and the nations of Europe, to provide an opportunity for a frank discussion of facts and an exchange of views with our visitors from Eng land, France, Italy and Belgium. Neither the foreign delegation nor the American committee is in any sense official." Will Carry Weight While it is a fact that the dele gates to the conference are not em powered to pledge their govern ments in any way, their recommen dations are expected to carry great weight. The conference, it is said, has the "sympathy" of each nation represented. England, France, Italy and Belgium, as well as the United States, has in attendance an official "observer," who will report to his government and, where such a course is desirable, it is expected necessary "enabling legislation" *vill be passed to put the recommenda tions of the conference into effect. Stabilizing of foreign exchange is, perhaps, the most vital topic up for consideration. One delegate put it: "We must stabilize exchange or we won't have any foreign trade at all. Europe need:> vast quantities of raw materials, semi-finished as well as finished goods, and the United States as the storehouse of the world must extend -credit to put Europe back upon an industrial, buying basis." Two recommendations will be made at the conference, among oth ers, for the stabilization of exchauge, one of an "international currency," by Marshall Stevens, of England, one of the founders of the Man chester Ship Canal, and the other for a guarantee by American banks of foreign railroad and industrial securities to encourage their pur chase by American investors. Plane Again Unable to Seek Boy, Due to Haze Hammonton. N. J., Oct. 22.—Ow ing to hazy conditions the biplane which was to have arrived from the Pennsylvania Military College -at Chester. Pa., did not attempt a •light. Efforts will be made to have the same come here the day the United Boy Scout forces enter the woods and attempt to discover lost "Billy" Dansey, or some clue as to his fate.

Pettitt, of New York, a national field scout commis sioner, assisted by Scoutmasters Herbert N. Etter, of Camden, and Harold V. Feyl, of Atlantic City.

Promises to Return Work Fails to Bring Out Longshoremen New York, Oct. 22.—Not a long shoreman went to work on the Chel sea piers in response to 7 o'clock whistles this morning. Although hundreds of dock work ers were congregated in the vicinity of the big trans-Atlantic steamship piers there at an early hour, prom ises to return to work in the Chelsea district, one of the most important of the New York waterfront, brought no result. It was on the word of tli Chelsea longshoremen that officials based their prediction of a break in the strike here. T. V. O'Connor, president of the International Longshoremen's Asso ciation to whom the promise to re turn to work had been made, ex pressed surprise when informed this morning of the failure of the Chel sea longshoremen to resume work on time. He said that failure of the riggers' local to resume labor prob ably was the reason for the long shoremen's inactivity. He explained that inasmuch as the riggers operate the tackle and lines on the ships and piers, It would bo impossible for longshoremen to begin work without them. Foremen's whistles were blown for resumption of work at piers along the North River water front from the Battery to Twenty-third street as was customary before the strike in summoning the men to work. Not a man moved towards the piers in response to the sig nals.

SHOE PRICES TO REMAIN AWAY UP Congressman Kreider Sees No Relief; Only Hope Is to Hold Them Where They Are Congressman a/s. Kreider, head of the A. S. Kreider Company, manu facturer of shoes, does not look for any reduction in shoe prices and lays the difficulty to the sharp advances in the prices of all kinds of leather. Leather is scarce and immense quan tities have been used in the war and more recently have been sent to Eu rope. *3y conservative action it is hoped to keep prices where they are," he says in a letter to the Har risburg Telegraph. The letter was written at the request of J. Frank McElwatn, president of the National Boot and Shoe Manufacturers' Asso ciation, who was recently misquoted as saying that shoe prices are due for an early fall. The communica tion follows: "Many of the metropolitan and other newspapers have recently been carrying large headlines as follows: 'Price of Footwear Drops 20 Per Cent Another Tumble Due After Christmas Holidays." The articles go on to quote that J. Frank Mc- Elwatn. President of the National Boot and Shoe Manufacturers' Asso ciation is responsible for the state ment, etc. "As a matter of fact, Mr. McEl wain had been misquoted, and in a personal letter to me, has asked me to try and assist him in correcting the erroneous impression created by this article. "Under date of October 15, he says: 'My remarks at the Middle States Shoe Wholesalers' Convention in New York yesterday have been misquoted in the papers to-day. " 'The fact is that there has been a decline of approximately 20 per cent, in the price of hides and from the high point reached in August. It, however, must be borne in mi,nd that shoe prices have never reached the high peak represented by the August price of hides, and have in reality been based on hide values no higher, and in many cases con siderably lower, than now prevail. " 'Shoe factories have to-day a larger volume of orders on hand than can be taken care of during the next three or four months. Dur ing that period they will require a large quantity of hides, leather, and other supplies. Desirable leather Is extremely scarce and cannot be quickly obtained. " 'There is, therefore, no indica tion of a recession in the price of shoes in the near future. It is my opinion that the prices for spring will be no lower than at present. "'(Signed) J. F. McELWAIN.' "I wish to say that it is my can did opinion that prices of footwear will not be lower in the near future on account of the extreme scarcity of raw materials, and the large de mand. If there is any change in price, it will be an advance rather than a decline, but it is to be hoped that further advances may be avoid ed by conservative buying on 'h e part of the retailer, the manufac turer and the tanner, for it must be remembered that, after all, the basic product is hides and skins, and if these should be fprced to higher level, by an abnormal demand, of necessity prices of leather and shoes must follow. By conservative action, it is hoped these advances may be avoided. "Yours truly, "A. S. KREIDER."

They will get the opinions of all men who are. have been, or expect to be connected with the Square in any way. and endeavor to deduce from these many opinions Just what tile best steps would be to follow out In making the Square a bitter place. At a later meeting of the Associa tion this committee will turn in its report, and although it is expected that the personnel of the committee will be able to submit a report which may be a-ted on, it is also thought that the advice of experts may be of benefit in the problems, which must be solved. It is the opinion of the committee that the Square will be come in future years even more the •central point of the city than it is now, and unless it is adequately treated, Harrjsburg will lose a con siderable asSet from many stand points. Traffic regulations will be consid ered and suggestions put forward as to the best way of regulating the con. stantly increasing flow of vehicles. The establishment of an isle of safety and a public comfort station will also be among the questions taken up. A number of men expressing their views at the meeting last evening, said that they thought the traffic problem the most serious one which demands the attention of everybody immediately. Mr. Kaufman will shortly appoint another committee of three to draw up a set of rules to govern the asso ciation.
