444 THE SUN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1919.' Labor, standing alone by a united group, voted In tho atllrmatlvo. Beforo the vote on the Btcel strike resolution a vote was had on a resolu- tion to adjourn. The ayes apparently had It, but when a rising vote was asked the conferees underwent a quick change of heart and public confereeu and those on the employers' side voted with labor for action. L. 13. Sheppard of tho rail- road brotherhoods Injected the observa- tion, \If labor Is to get tho solar plexus let us have It now.\ The vote fell against labor. Tho members of the labor group went Into conference to determine a courso of action. They have not as yet shown any Intention of leaving the con- ference, but accepted events, though It waa many times hinted that If labor did not get these two big things, or at least ono of them, there would no longer bo nny reason for contlnuanco of the labor group at the conference. Because of the intense situation and the feeling that lack of decision would break up the conference President Wll. son had dictated from his sick bed a 600 word message calculated to hold the .con- ference together It cither of the groups bolted or directly threatened to bolt, as was regarded as likely. Wilson Melange \Withheld. There wrfs no necessity for use of the document, however, and Chairman Lane still has It in his pocket, perhaps for future use. When it did get down to action the body moved fast and furious. Without exception the. conferees on all aides are in a fighting frame of mind that Is regarded as promising well for results; Two whole weeks were given to sparring and delay. It is possible the nature of the text of tho President's ' meisage will never be known. It Is known, however, that the message told the conforees tha\t it was their plain duty to go on and that If they could not 0 on they would be relieved .that others might tako their places. A sharp turn came in the affairs of the conference when it became known y that the public group at a meet- ing last night had determined to vote against the original Itussell-Endlco- tt resolution on collective bargaining be- cause of an lntorprettion by some mem- bers of the labor group that that group considered .the use of the words trade and laTxjra unions as excluding other, organizations from collective bargain- ing. The .employers group In nn all day uiuuud iuiu xuucu ui ji r?Buiuuun mai would be generally acceptable and went back to Kb original, or the Wheeler resolution. The public group took up many substitutes and the labor 'grout went Into caucus early In the' day to determine Its course. In view of tho changed front from tho withdrawal of public support. Secretary of Labor Wilson partici- pated in the caucus and it was rumored that he urged upon the labor group ac- ceptance of other organizations and stilled a restlessness that threatened a bolt. John Fltspatrlck, steel strike leader, was also at the caucus. Talk of Deadlock Censes. The caucuses and conferences delayed the meeting of the conference until late In the afternoon. Though all action taken by the conference has been nega- tive, the conference Is regarded as more ndvanced and welded together than at any other time. Conferees on all sides have ceased to talk of deadlock or fail- ure. After the battle Chairman Lane urged that tho conference drop Individual Is- sues and begin upon the framing ff n rrogramme by the committees that could be laid before the conference as a whole so that It might work more In telligently and not have issues clouded by possibilities, rather than a definite, relation to other matters. The sugges- tion will probably be acted on and adjournment of the general conference 'awaiting a programme is re- garded as likely. While all collective bargaining resolu- tions offered the conference have, been voted down the suhject Is not neces-- narily disposed of. Others may be later brought in upon which there Is possi bility of agreement. All three groups and nearly every In- dividual In the conference have been recorded as favoring tho principle of collective bargaining. It is the manner of its application that caused the bitter fight that wound up with a victory for the employers group Even the steel strike .resolution may, be revived at a later day, possibly after the conference Is on record as to arbl tratlon and has set up a method of arbl tratlon that might be acceptable to all three groups. There Is a growing feel- - Jng In tho conference that the resolu tlons voted down were premature and inat anotner decision may be reacnea Isbor Group' Attitude. While the labor group did not explain Its tenacity and the insistence against Inclusion of other organizations with trade and labor unions. It was generally understood that It was fighting em- ployers orgcnizatlons nnd meant to have no construction that might Include them. Employers were equally determined against anything that might be con- strued as limiting organizations for col- lective bargaining to trade and labor unions. The employers put into the record an explanation of their vote giving the reasons of a majority of the employers group for opposing the reso- lutions prosented, with the excoptlon of their own. Chairman Chadbourne for the public group also asked to place similar explanations In the record. The labor group did not avail Itself of the privilege taken by the other two groups. When the conference convened this morning two resolutions were presented, one from L. F. Loreo and one from T. C. Atkeson, both of the employers' group. It was then that the labor group asked a recess to caucus, it was during the recess that Secretary Tumulty came to the conference with the letter from the President that it was then thought would be necessary to hold the confer- ence together. The matter waa placed before the President following a confer- ence between Chalrmart Lano, Chairman Baruch of tho public group, Secretary of Labor Wilson and Chairman Chad-bour- ne of the general comlttce, After dictating his message the President nlgned it across the sheet In a shaky hand. Kniploycrs' Kesolutlon. The labor recess ran throughout the morning session and through much of the afternoon. The labor group did not reconvene until MB o'clock. When the conference was called to ordor President aomfiers asked for the order of business, which was the Wheeler or employers' resolution on collective bargaining, and he asked that it be read. It ts as fol- lows: i \Jtesolvd that without In any way limiting the right of a wago earner to refrain from Joining nny association or to deal directly with his employer as ho chooses; the right of wago earners In private as distinguished from Govern- ment employment to organize In trade and labor unions, In shop industrial councils or other lawful form of asso- ciation, to bargain colloctlvely, to be represented by representatives of their own choosing In negotiations and adjust- ments with employers In re?pect to wages, hours of labor and other condi tions of employment, R recognized; and tho right of the employer to deal or not to deal with men or groups of men who are not his employees ana chosen by and from among them Is recognized ; and no denial 19 Intended of the right of arf employer and his workers volun- tarily to agree upon tho form of their respective relations.\ Mr. dompers then asked for the other ncsolutton before tho body, tho original resolution of Mr. Chndbourno which Mr. Won moved should be adopt ed. It was na followo; The right of wngo earners In trade and labor unions to bargain collectively, to bo represented by representatives of i their own choosing In negotiations nnd , adjustments wun employers in respect to wages, hours of labor nnd relations and conditions of employment Is recog- nized. This must not be understood ns limiting the right of any wage earner to refrain from Joining any organization or to deal directly with his employor If he so chooses.\ J. N. Tlttemore, representing the farmers and in tho employers' group, roso to explain that he was not In sym pathy with the employers' viewpoint on collect he bargaining. He believed In or- ganization, he Bald, and tho farmers he represented believed in it and were em- ployees or workmen rathr than employ- - era. A vote was then taken on the Wheel er resolution. Mr. Baruch for the public group voted no. Mr. Wheeler for the employer group voted yes. President Oompcrs for the laoor Rroup voted no. Tho resolution wns lost and tho chair man turned to the Chadbourne resolu- tion. Mr. Chadbourne rose and on be half of the public group moved the adop tion of the following substitute to tno original Chadbourne resolution: The right of wage earners to organ ize associations of their own choosing, to bargain collectively, to be represented by representatives of their own choos- ing In negotiations and adjustments with employers, and In respect to wages hours of labor nnd relations nnd con- ditions of employment bo recognized. This must not be understood as limiting the right of any wage earner to refrain from Joining any organization or deal directly with his employer if he ro chooses.\ \New Resolution Explained. In explanation of tho new resolution which provided for organization Into other bodies than trade or labor unions Mr. Chadbourne- - declared on behalf of the public group and Its representation on tho committee he wanted to say that In adopting the original Chad bourne resolution they thought the right of organization into other organiza tions than trade and labor unions was so well recognized that Oie Intent of the resolution confined to such organization was plain. Our confluence in tnat posiuot:, no continued, \was not disturbed until Sat urday morning, when after adjournment hero the general committee met for the purpose of giving further consideration to the collective bargaining proposal. In discussing it in general committee the employers group and the public group were talking, among other clauses, about tho Injection of tho words 'and other associations after 'trade and labor unions.' \In opposition to the insertion of those words two of the members of the com mittee representing the labor group Mr. Morrison and Mr. Maher, In the or- der in which I have recited them took the floor, and the former presented one of the most cogent arguments I have ever heard in favor of a construction being placed upon the resolution previ- ously passed by the general committee and reported to this conference which Inhibited and prohibited the Idea that any other body except a trade or labor union'could bo meant by the resolution ; and that It was an Invitation to the wage earners of this country to Join no other organization ; an Invitation go- ing out from this conference to the wage earners to Join no other organiza- tion except a trado or labor union. Report on Situation. \I no more' believe y that that was a proper construction of that reso- lution than I believed it when I origin- ally voted for It, but since It could be so construed by one of the labor group, jnd a preferential right could be advo- cated by another of the labor group with respect to those two organizations being the' kind of organizations that were referred to In that resolution, I have felt It essential to go buck to my group and report the situation, \I then ascertained that in addition to that an clement of very significant circumstances In this situation called for the attention of the public group and that circumstance is this, that not withstanding the fact that their employ ers never objected to wage earners or ganlzlng in shops, or what is sometimes called employees organizations, the American Federation of Labor in the twelve articles -- presented to tho Steel Corporation the twelve grievance had In tho twelfth grievance themselves made an agreement to shop committees of the very kind that the public group supposed they wcro approving, as well as approving labor and trade unions. when they passed the resolution. This havlnc been renorted to the nub- - Ho group they voted\ both straightaway and upon reconsideration y In fa- vor of striking out trado and labor unions In order that associations of their own choosing should be mado to, nnd Intended to Include all trado and labor unions, and In every kind of association .that wage earners choose to make. l'JEfc Goinprr Takes Issue. Mr. Gompers was recognized and said \Without attempting to make any state ment upon tho proposal of the group representing the public I am quite sure that Mr, Chadbourne would not want Intentionally to do an Injustice or make a statement which Is not based upon facts. With reference to the statement that the American Federation of Labor presented twelve demands for the steel strike, I think without going any further upon that he will correct himself.\ Mr. Chadbourne: \Yes I will correct myself. It was of courso the other unjons of the steel workers, but they are, ns I understand it, of the American Fed- eration of Labor.\ Mr. Gompers: \Mr. Chadbourne said that the American Federation of Labor presented the demands and when he made the statement JuBt now he knew that It was not the American Federation of Labor, and he knew further that no such demand has ever been made by any labor organization ; and the assurance given, so far as assurance could be given, that such a demand would neces- sarily drop. If conference had been had In the steel strike situation.\ , John Spargo took the floor and urged use of the word trade and labor unions In the resolution, saying because of working class psychology the conference ought specifically approve such organ- izations because they had always been fought. Ho said, however, he was willing to concedo that 'the words \other organizations\ or their equivalent should go in. ) , The vote was taken, the publlo group voting In tho affirmative. The employ- ers voted no and the labor group voted no. Mr. Wheeler explained the vote of. the employers, saying they had studied the resolution through the courtesy of the publlo group and It did not meet the single objection of the employers group.

Sir. Chadbourne immediately took Is sue. He said that at a caucus last night soventecn had voted against the original resolution before the change in senti- ment ho had explained, and that tho vote Mr. Forrester had cited was on a motion to recommit this morning. Mr. Forrester accepted this. Speech by Gompers. Chairman Lane asked for a vote, and it was then that President Oompers made an Impassioned speech for labor a posi tion. He said In part: \Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle- men : The resolution now before the conference Is the resolution of the gen- eral committee, presented by Mr. Chad- bourne, Its chairman. When that reso- lution was presented to this conference a number of the members of the group representing the public unequivocally de- clared their support of the proposition; nnd I think I am right In saying, that the group, the public group as a group, approved that proposition. \Since then the group the public has changed its nttitude. And why? Not because there Is any change In the resolution, but because, an the chairman of the group ivwertcd, of an In terpretation given to It by one member of the labor group, and In part quoted by another member of tho labor group. \lie does not say, and I am sure he will not assume to say, that the labor group as such had Indorsed that inter- pretation ; and a man of the great In- telligence of. chairman of the public group for himself says that In his Judg- ment the Interpretation that he had placed upon It was different from the ono he had heard expressed, and that he still holds that the Interpretation he then gave to the resolution is his Judg- ment now, and simply because of an In- dividual expression and Individual In- terpretation of the resolution the entire course Is changed around. Invokes Frnnkness. \I think that we might as well be en- tirely frank. The labor group was asked thl morning that our committee of five might meet with the committee of live of tho public group to confor and endeavor to reach somounderstandlng as to the in- terpretation placed Upon tho resolution. After conferring it was suggested by us that our committee of live might appear before group as a group and there present the entire subject matter nnd see whether some agreement could not be reached. \That was done; and the conference lasted nearly two hours, and at tho con- clusion of It, Ave of us. Including myself, walked out of that room feeling confl- - Ident that that group would reconsider action of lust night and return to Its original position upon the resolution of the committee of fifteen. As we have heard, by the bare majority of ono a reconsideration was not had. Of course I do not know positively, for miracles may occur, how tho employers' group is going to vote; but I think It Is not dltllcult for us to divine how they aro gorng to cast their vote. \You recall tho fact that a fow dava ago, upon the suggestion of Mr. Wheeler, the labor group was mpved to the centre of this hall, so that we might get nearer to the employers. It reminded me very much by contrast of the saying of the Master, \Suffer little children to come unto Me, for of such Is tho king- dom of heaven.' Mr. Wheeler asked that we come nearer to him, and we bavo heard and practically In our men- tal vision have seen the lash that he holds behind his back for us. \Now Mr. Chairman, wo might as well face this situation man fashion. Were wo Invited here to this confer- ence by the President of tho United States to yield more than that which we have secured through tho ages? Is tho whole historic struggle of the whole, worm 10 db turnea oacx; we nave nothing, Mr. Chairman, and, as a con- sequence, wo have nothing to yield. \We have earned tho right to speak in the name of labor ; we have earned tho right by our efforts and by our achievements to be received with re spect in regard \to the alms and pur- poses and the rights and the Interests and the welfare of the working people of America. We ask for the right to organise for collective bargaining. That ts still denied us to a large extent. The Question In Controversy. \It la the one question In. contro- versy.

There is In that resolution a paragraph not at all to our liking a paragraph from which under ordinary circumstances I would withhold my approval, and I am sure that that is equally true of a large number of all, nnd If not all, nearly all of my associates; but In order to be helpful in bringing about some con structive programme In tho Interest of the working people of our country, in the Interest of the wnoic peoplo or our country. In the interest of our great re- public, whose perpetuity ts as much our concern as tho concern of any other man or group of men of America, we have approved It. \Gentlemen if you vote this resolution down I say In all candor and sincerity you do not know what harm you wtll do. This movement of American organized labor expresses the highest and best method of dealing with the great In- dustrial problems of our time, and to deal with them In a manner that will bring hope and comfort nnd tranquility and progress to all the people of our country to tho glory of the Institutions of this republic. \You may defeat this resolution, but If you do will that stop the struggle to achieve collective bargaining? Is the question of shop organization one of great controversy, of bitter contest? \We believe that you are making a mistake by your shop organizations tho same as the mistake was made In Eng- land with the shop steward method of organization and which, by the way,, has been discarded these several months, and there Is scarcely a vestige of it loft to tell the Btory that it ever existed.

In no other way shall we try to preach tho doctrine of American trade unionism to your'shop organizations.\ \Mr. Chairman, we aro dealing with KTAVf problems, or we wero called upon to deal with them, and we do not know whether there Is an appreciation of the critical situation In which we find our- selves, all of us. Wo may bo 'sitting on the lid.' I know of no body of men or group of men who so completely and eatlsfacorlly 'sit upon the lid\ as do the men In official service In the American trado union employment, but there Is a turmoil and there U a turbulence and there Is an unrest which 'every man In the American labor movement knows. \I stated a few days neo In this con- ference, gentlemen, If you do not deal Vlth us, If you do not deal with us constructive men and women in the labor movement of America; If you mako It Impossible to secure relief for our fellows, for thoso wo represent; if you contest with us every Inch of ground, and deny us the right of or ganization ns wago workers In trade ni.d labor unions; If you render our work Impotent; If wo aro unable to hrln.r relief; If wo are unable to secure the lights to which tho tollers aro en titled, you may destroy us, then you will have something else confronting you and you may rue the day that you went on record In a manner that would destroy the efficiency, and the work, and the sacrifice, and the willingness to servo tho men and tho women In the \I have heard It stated to meXthat some membors of this conference have said: \Well let us put the American Federation of Labor down nnd out, nnd then we will deal with tho I.

If this conference shall fall to rise to tho great occasion afforded, It will bo a very, very sorry Incident; but American organized labor will survive and what might be denied her y we will win As soon as Mr. Gompers had finished Mr. Chadbourno took tho floor nnd said the publlo group would retire and re consider its vote if the labor group would do either of two things add tho words \other organizations\ after \labor and trade unions,\ or give It as the group In- terpretation upon the record as eolemn as the vote given, that it Is tho Inter- pretation of the men in the labor group that it does mean other organizations, without the words. He' addressed this to Mr. Gompers, but Mr. Gompera re- mained silent. Objection liy Rasscll. Charles Edward Itussel Jumped to his feet nnd recorded an objection to the wny In which Mr. Chadbourne had put his question. He said that Mr. Chad- bourno had been unfair without meaning to be through lack of knowlcdgo of labor conditions. Mr. Ilussell thereupon de- clared that tho question should have been worded genulno organization of genuine worklngmcn for genuine labor purposes. No other form qfS question would bo proper, he said, because the trade union men wero constantly striv- ing ngainst all sorts of organizations calling themselves trado or labor unions that wcro not, and that wero concocted by employers for the purpose of de- feating labor. Chairman Lane Interjected that Mr. Chadbourno could not be compelled to change the wording of his question, and ho nnd President Gompers continued silent Galvin McNab said: \I protest on behalf of the English language. The resolution that was before the House, that was reported by tho committee of fifteen, Is as clearly framed as It is posslblo to express It, that it not only Includes labor unions and others but every form of labor organization.

On the ballot the public group voted for this substi tute and the employers and employees groups ngainst It.

Ho opposed tV resolution because It took to tho confer- ence powers it did not have, but at the samo time he scoffed at the declarations of somo that it was not germane to tho conference. He asked for consideration of his own reixJutlon on arbitration of Industrial disputes in general. Chairman Lano again called for a vote and the publlo group asked to withdraw to caucus.
