PLANS INDUSTRIAL PEACE
WASHINGTON.— (By the Associated Press.)—After an hour's session, the industrial conference adjourned until next Tuesday. In the meantime, a general committee of 15, composed of five each from the groups interested, will consider proposals presented by the three groups of capital, labor and the public.
Opposition to collective bargaining and the closed shop are among the 12 principles outlined by the group representing capital and presented to the conference.
Sympathetic strikes, blacklists and boycotts are declared to be "indefensible, anti-social and immoral."
While deploring strikes and lockouts, the principles set forth are that the right to strike or lockout "should not be denied as an ultimate resort after all possible means of adjustment have been exhausted."
This right, however, should apply only in 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 for adequate means for prompt hearing and adjustments of complaints and disputes. Opposition to strikes by government employees was also expressed.
Policeman's Union Withdraws.
