NDUSTRY COUNCIL IN OPENING SESSION AT CAPITAL TO-DAY eee ee Delegates to Represent No Par- ticular Group, but the Amer-, ican People as a Whole. | WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.—Seven- teen men, from business and public life, representing no particular group 48 such, but acting for the people as & whole, assembled hete to-day to confer on the country’s industrial situation, The conference, the ap- pointment of which was announced from the White House Nov. 20, marks the second effort of President Wilson to devise means for settling the chaotic conditions that have prevailed for months in industry. It was de- signed to accomplish what the re- cent National Industrial Conference failed on. The opening session was Set for 2.30 o'clock. Secretary Wilson intimated that the coal and rdilroad problems would not be discussed. It is aimed to prevent future trouble-be- tween capital and labor. In the words of President Wilson the “new representatives should have concern that our industries may be conducted with such regard for jus- tice and fair dealing that the work- man will feel himself induced to put forth his best efforts, that tho employer will have an encouraging profit and that the public will not suffer at the hands of either class.” Use of the Pan-American Building was granted to the conference. Or- ganized labor has expressed dissatis- faction with the personnel of the con- ~férence because of the fact that no labor men were named, although, they dlaimed, every other interest was represented. The conferees, former Federal and State officials, business men and economists, are as follows: Secretary of Labor William B. Wilson; Thomas W. Gregory, Austin, Tex, former Attorney General; George W. Wickersham, New York lawycr, Attorney General in Taft Cabinet; Oscar 8, Straus, New York, diplomat, lawyer and author, Sec- retary of Commerce and Labor un- der Roosevelt; Frank Taussig, Wash- ington, political econo? former college professor and Chairman of the United States Tariff Commis- son; Samuel McCall, Boston nor of Massa- chusetts; Hoover, mining engineer and former Food Adminis- jemtor; Martin H.

ROME, Dec, 1.—When. King Victor Emmanuel entered the Parliament to- day to deliver thp speech from the throne he was received with loud cheers, Premier Nitti requested the audience to be seated. Upon this the extreme Socialists shouted ‘Viva So- cialism!” and left the Chamber. Their seats were immediately taken by other deputies. The King thanked the Chamber for | the ovation. The oath was then taken by the Deputies. The King was accompanied to the Parliament Buildings by Queen Helena and Crown Prince Humbert. ‘They were given an enthusiastic ova- tion while proceeding from the Quirinal, At the entrance to the} Chamber they were received by a special commission of Senators and representatives. The King began his speech by greeting the heroes of the army and the navy. The virtues and energies they had displayed during the war would serve to hasten the economic reconstruction, he said. Italy, through the war, continued the King, had gained her natural frontiers, but not all of her aspira- tions, he declared, were considered everywhere in a spirit of justice. The aspirations of Italy in the Adriatic, he asserted, did fot cloak any mili- tary design, and for the most part possessed no economic value. They were confined, he said, to the defense of native ideals. The protection of Italian populations was the duty and imprescriptible right of Italy. “We have np imperialistic views,” continued His Majesty, “and intend in no way that the peace of Europe should be disturbed.” Italy regards with the liveliest sym- pathy the rise of the popular classes, said the King, who characterized the movement as one which should pro- duce in the interior of the country a Programme of intensive work and Production, and, in connection with foreign politics, an increasingly dem- cratic co-operation between nations. There was no cloud upon the sin- cerity of Italy's foreign relations, continued His Majesty. He referred to the especially cordial nature of her relations to the allied and asso- ciated powers, The king announced the pro- gramme of reforms, saying that new commercial communication, would be established and that now opportuni- ties should be exploited to the ut- most. His Majesty concluded by declar- ing that Italy regarded as an ever- increasing task the defense of Latin- ity, of which she was the mother, by addressing himself not only to the sister nations of Italy in Europe but to all the people of Latin America, with which she hoped to work, he said, toward a more intimate union and closer friendship.
