CALL THE MEETING EARLY The president has announced his intention of calling a meeting of representative leaders from | the forces of Capital and Labor for the purpose of talking over with a view of ending differences | between those who work and those who boss—} employed and employer. This Round Table con- | ference will, it is believed—and hoped !—point the} way toward a solution for the excessively high cost | of living problem. Such a conference first was suggested by Bas. M. Manly, joint chairman of the war labor board, | in an article written at the time of the last annual convention of the American Federation of Labor, and printed then in The Daily Tribune. Later a joint round table resolution was intro- duced in congress by Senator Poindexter of Wash- ington and Representative Kelly of Pennsylvania. But the president evidently has decided not to wait for a slow and halting congress to act upon a thing so obviously a matter of urgent need. Waiting ing nearby. The time to do something is now— not next spring, or some other year. Now! It is to be hoped that the president will not interfere with the calling of this high important Round Table conference. This is of vital concern to those who work, those who employ those who. work, and the public, for in the time of calling of the conference may lie the success or failure of its endeavors, even as the early coming of the fire- men to a burning house is more to be desired than human control. gress, Mr. President; call the conference now. | labor leaders.
