General Committee Organizes and Elects Senator Hanna Chairman. Statement by Promoters of Flan for Harmony Pleads for Rightful Re- lations Between Employer and Employe. — NEW YORK, Dec. 18.—The committee which was chosen by the conference called to consider plans for heaiing the differences between the capitalistic and »rganized eral statement of its mi on. Senator M. A. Hanna was chosen its chairman, with Samuel Gompers first vice chairman. It retains its connection with the Na- tional Civie Federation and becomes the industrial department of that organiza- tion. The statement which was lssued ex- pressed a determination to strive for in- dustrial co-operation, to aid in establish- ing rightful relations between those who toil and their employers, to confer and advise with employers and employed when in conflict, to encourage agreements under which labor shall be performed arbitrate disputes when both sides to the dispute shall ask for such mediation. A determination to avoid discussion of ab- stract industrial problems was avowed, Meeting of the Committee, and to The general committes met to-day in private conference to take up its wark, Among those in attendance were Oscar Straus, Charles M. Schwab, 8. R. Cal- loway, Charles A. Moore, Cornelius N, Bliss, Lewis Nixon, J. J. MeCook, R, M, Basley, Samuel Gompers, John Mitehell, Frank Sargent and James Duncan.

Before the meeting was opened to-day Chalrman Straus made a brief statement for pub- | tication. Two Millinn Will Co-operate. “I cannot tell you anything about the plan for putting into practice the peace- tul projects of this conference,” he satd. “We are at work on it and in due time it will be made public. I believe every man named on the committee will serve. All of the labor leaders have accepted and in this epoch-making union of labor and capital no man can deny his services to a project that means such a great good for his country. The approval of the labor leaders means the co-operation of more than 2,000,000 organized workers. As we progress in this work it becomes more apparent that the chief cause of trouble in the past has arisen from misunder- standings. Never were truer words spoken than by John Mitchell yesterday when he who has seen more strikes than any man of his age in the country sald that there never was a strike which could not be averted if the opposing interests had first met and fairly considered their respective rights.” Scope of Proposed Work.
