In discussing the general situation In Siberia, he said he felt before he left Omsk last July that Kolchak was doomed to fall, either before the rising tide of Bolshevism, which, he says is in a fair way now to engulf all Russia, or before an uprising of common people of Siberia, who according to Gaida, thoroughly distrust Kolchak as much as they dread the Bolrheviki.

WASHINGTON. Dee. 80. Establishment of machinery to prevent or re- , tard labor conflicts in private Industry ' la provided In tentative loeommettattooa of the president's Industrial conference with a view to obtaining constructive criticism before a final plan is ' adopted. : ' '' ' The plan, as outlined, now contemplates tho creation of a national Industrial tribunal and regional boards of Inonlrr. and adtaatment. which would

! move to the settlement of disputes be

fore there was any stoppage of proouetlon. Decisions would have the full force and effect of a trado agreement between the parties to the dispute. Concerning Pvblle UtllKlee. Remarking that some public utilities, such as railroads, are esesntlel Sthe very existence of the people, e conference's tentative statement expressed the opinion that the "Interruption is such an essential public utility ia intolerable. But the conference declares that farther consideration is required of the problem, whether some method can be arrived at that will avert all danger pf J"1"ruption to service. Government employes, the third class Into which the wage-earning public la divided, should have the right to associate for mutual protection, the

statement declared, but "no intenerence by any group with the continuous operation Of government functions through concerted cessation of work

or threats thereof can ne pennmea.

When the conference reconvenes.

January 12. public hearings will be

held to obtain expert advice at w u drafting of the final recommendations in the lisrht of such criticism of the

tentative report as may be recetvea. ,3$ f ' While declaring that at this time it M wi. h11vm1 man essential to devise -V

machinery for averting conflicts than

to undertake a discussion of tne causes of unrest, the conference indi

cated clearly the general principles on which it has based Its recommenda

tions.

Yield to the Individual "Our modern Industrial organisa

tion." the tentative report said, "if it

is not to become a failure must yieia to the individual a larger satisfaction with life. Not only must the theory that labor is a commodity be abandoned, but the concept of leadership must be substituted for that of mastership. Human fellowship in Indus

try must either be an empty pnrase or a living fact.

'Pending the growth of better re- -

lationshlps between employers and employes, the practical approach to the problem is to device a method of preventing or retarding conflicts by

providing machinery for the adjustment of differences. To be successful such tribunals must be so organized as to operate promptly as well as impartially. .The plain fact is that the public has long been uneasy about th? power of great employers: it Is becom Ing uneasy about the power of great labor organizations. The community must be assured against domination by either. "The plan which follows does not propose to do away. with the ultimate right to strike, to discharge or to maintain the closed or the open shop."
