Twelve R e c o m m e ndations Against Collective Bargaining, Sympathetic Strikes, Presented to Conference.

SHOULD BE LAST HOPE (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Oct 10. Opposition to collective bargaining and the closed shop were among twelve fundamental principles outlined by the group representing capital and presented today to the national industrial conference hare. Sympathetic strikes, black lists and boycotts were declared to be "indefensible, anti-social and Immoral." While deploring strikes and walkouts, the principles set forth that the right of strikes of lock-outs "should not be denied as an ultimate resort after all possible means of adjustment have been exhausted." This right, however, should apply only to private industry. In public utility service it was proposed that the state impose such regulations as would assure continuous operation, at the same time providing adequate means for the prompt hearing and adjustment of complaints and disputes. Opposition to strikes of government employes also was expressed, the principles stating that the right of such employes to oe neara ana to secure Just rights should be "amply safe guarded." Unit System Asked. For the settlement of disputes in private industry it was proposed that each establishment be regarded as an industrial unit with adequate machinery for adjustment of misunderstandings between employes and the management. Others of the principles dealt with conditions and hours of work, wages and the right to associate and it was declared that every association whether of either employes or employers "must be equally subject to public authority and legally answerably for Its own. conduct or that of Its agents." After an hour's recess today the national Industrial conference decided to adjourn until next Tuesday. Meantime, the general committee of 15 will consider the proposals presented by the three groups, capital, labor anil the rublic. With five distinct industrial fields represented in that group manufacturers, farmers, railroad management. Dangers and trade organizations the iormulatloii or a definite program with wruln au migni De sausned has irsented a more difficult problem than that faced by the groups representing labor and the public, delegates have pointed out Prepared Carefully. It also has been indicated that the proposals to be presented by the employers" group have undergone very careful preparation with a view to submitting them in mature form and thus expediting action by the conference. Magnus W. Alexander, managing director of the National Industrial Conference board, whose- five delegates are embraced In the employers group, had announced that the proposals to be submitted by that group would consist of a preamble and twelve sections dealing with the important principles governing Industrial relations. There has been no intimation, however, of the character of the proposals. With recommendations of the groups representing labor and the public already referred, under the rules of the conference, to the special committee of firteen, which is to consider them for favorable or unfavorable repo-ts, the proposals of the employers' group also will be referred to that committee and there is therefore a prospect that the conference will recess today for perhaps ten days while the committee acts on the material before it. There has been no affocial Intimation, however, that such a recess would be taken. Program Completed for Middleboro Homecoming MIDDLEBORO, Ind., Oct 10.
