hip Went Associated Press Day Wire Service. For 56 Years Deyoted to the Best Interests of Key West VOLUME LVII. INDUSTRY AND No. 301. ARE DISCUSSED MANY ACTIVITIES OF OR- GANIZATIONS CITED DUR- ING CONFERENCE ON VA- RIOUS ISSUES (By PRESTON GROVER) (My Annociated Prena> WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—By actual measurement George L. Berry’s labor-industrial confer- ence and the National Associa- tion of Manufacturers remain just 220 miles apart, Berry, the President’s coordin- ator for industrial cooperation, held a conference of 1,200 dele- gates in Washington, while 220 miles away in New York City the manufacturers held their annual convention. Berry invited to his confer- ence not only labor representa- tives, of whom there were about 900, but industrial groups as well, of which there were far fewer. Most of the big indus- trial associations, including the national manufacturers, remain- ed away. The reason they did not get together was easi!y observable in the tone of speeches and reso- lvtions. Inside Track Berry opened his conference without mincing words as to its purpose. He wanted federal leg- islation governing labor condi- tions and trade practices. “If there be among us any questions as to our purpose,” said Berry, “let it be known that we will foster legislation.” Not so bold spoken as a few months ago, the man-facturers’ association nevertheless expressed oppos'- tion to such a course. “We condemn any uncesirable practices and abuses in industry and pledge vigilance on the part ry to bring about their ction.” That sounds like a request for hands off while indus- try submits a remedy. The manufacturers heard John R. McCarl, former comptroller general, suggest that “federal au- thorities should withdray: and leave the job of fully re-estab- lishing recovery to pr:vate enter- prise, remaining only in a super- visory and advisory capacity,” Most Washington — observers would guess that when it comes to legislation, Berry will continue about 220 miles ahead of the man- ufaciurers on the inside of the administration track. What is not expected, even by the most op- timistic of labor libera's, is that Ber: i his followers will be successful with all their proposals. Senator Duffy of Wisconsin, back from his first “junket,” in- sists every member of congress interested in legislation affecting a particular territory snould take a junket to the spot and look it over. He Holds Hearings This summer he went to Pana- ma with two other senators, Min- ton of Indiana and Reynolds of North Carolina, to hold hearings on a bill to ptohibit employment of alien labor on the canal, Advo- cates of the bill urged it as pro- tection for the canal in time of war. Duffy branded that “a subter- fuge.” His visit convinced him that the bill was intended to drive out the Caribbean laborers im- ported to help build the canal when no other labor could stand the climate. They came mostly from nearby British islands. They have stayed on, mostly in menial jobs or minor foreman- ships, some for 30 years. They can’t become citizens except of Panama, so, for the most part, have remained British subjects. Duffy doubts the U_ S, will be soon at war with England. ~~ HABANA-MADRID CLUB CABALLEROS DE LA LUZ an-| Pensacola nounces a BIG SURPRISE for|St. Louis - their dance tomorrow night in the|San Francisco form of entertainment, (Mr. Joy who has taken over the management of Habana-Madrid Club has arrived with some of his entertainers who will put on a’ few numbers in behalf of the BENEFIT DANCE of Caballeros de la Luz.

During his stay in the com- mandant’s quarters in the nava} station he has been practically un- der the care of a physician, but is glad to state that he has recover- ed sufficiently to make the pro- posed trip a:though, under other circumstances, he would have en- | joyed staying another week, 10 days.
