The deputation, as announced, con- ' g0w, which pledged the congress to co operate with the miner s federation in compelling the government to accept the majority report submitted by the coal commission.

STEEL MEN TO RETURN? CBy Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Oct. 9. An lrnme diate Industrial truce to continue three months, creation of an arbitration board by the president and congress and immediate arbitration of the nation-wide steel strike, were among the proposals made today to the industrial conference here. The first two were presented by representatives of the public and the last by the labor group. Bernard M. Baruch, chairman of the public group, made the proposal for the Industrial truce, while Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor ajad chairman of the labor group, proposed arbitration of the steel strike. Mr. Gompers' p'an contemplated immediate return of the steel strikers to work, pending the outcome of efforts to arbitrate ths dispute. Proposes Arbitration Board. Gavin McNab, of San Francisco, proposed a permanent arbitration board, his resolution, which had the approval of the public group, providing that all living ex-presidents be members. Mr. Gompers' board for arbitration of the steel strike, would be composed of six members, two to be appointed by each of the three groups in the conference, capital, labor and the public. Mr. Gompers also presented a resolution embodying 11 fundamental principles which he emphasized, had the unanimous approval of the labor " group, Including the representatives of the four railroad brotherhoods.

S. awaiting the results of this conference. "Labor Is waiting now, as patiently es possible," he said. "When labor in the past was impotent because of lack of strong organization, capital never held back any of its acts to wait on labor. Now it seems that when labor presents a formidable degree of economic power, capital is constantly crying 'wait, waif to labor."

"Ah, lad," the florist answered, "they are Richmond roses, and come from Richmond, in Surrey, down near Lunnon." "They did like h-1," was the quick answer. The American, from Richmond, Indiana, lost no time in explaining that the roses were originated in "his town." and that they were the only things from home that he had seen since his mail was lost, two months before.
