Industrial Peace Talks Push Arbitration Plan
A national industrial conference laid concrete proposals for arbitration to end the steel strike and begin a three month industrial truce.

Samuel Gompers urged a steel settlement, backed by labor delegates, and Secretary Wilson drafted a joint board approach endorsed by President Wilson. The conference voted to refer all proposals to a general committee for action as discussions continue.
